the gas. shortage of 1911-12. came com
plants from the gas company that its
supply was being rapidly exhausted.
On January ), 1912, the attorney general
filed an action in the district court OF
montgomery county under the antitrust
law and asking that the Kansas Natural
be ousted from the state. On October 9,
and while the Montgomery county suit
was stIII pending, a suit was filed in the
federal court alleging many defaults in
payments of obligations. On the strength
of this petition, Judge John c. Pollock
forthwith appointed three receivers, who
as promptly took over the affairs of the
fourteen million dollar corporation and L
little later reported that an increase IN
gas rates was necessary to put the cor
this report. the court made an order pro-
hlbft1ng the sale of gas at a rate less
than one established in a schedule eStab-
lished on the advice of the receivers. In
the meantime Judge Flannelley had ac-
cepted jurisdiction in the case and al
most Immediately following the suit be-
fore the utilities commission, named a
second set of receivers for the gas com
pany. While the suit before the utilities
commission was pending the consumers
enjoyed the old gas rates and there has
never been an increase in prices which af-
fected the pocketbooks of the consumers.
Ever since early in January the case has
occupied the attention of the commission.
The decision today denies the right of the
company to increase it's rates Judge
Flannelley claims to have jurisdiction in
the case by virtue of the priority of his
suit and has named separate receivers.
NOW q mOIlOn IS penang TO place the
Flannelley receivers in charge of the gas
company's business and the end of the
troubles of the Kansas Natural are hard
to foresee-
Declined to Make Statement.
Kansas City, April Federal Judge
John c. Pollock, who appointed the re-
ceivers for the Kansas Natural Gas COM
pany and who approved the raise in rates,
refused today to make a statement con-
corning the findings in the case of the
utilities commission.
ct can say nothing until I am notified
r. J. Higgins, city counselor of Kansas
City, Kansas, said he regarded the decis-
ion as a great victory for the cities of
Kansas, especially Kansas City, Kansas,
which city, he said, started the agitation
to have the gas rate matter settled by the
utilities commission and held out against
strong opposition that it was within the
sphere of that body to pass upon the
matter.
The hearing upon the question Of juris-
diction over the Kansas Natural as be-
tween the federal receivers appointed by
Judge Pollock and the district court re-
ceivers appointed by Judge Flannelly of
Montgomery county will be held in Kan
sas City, Kansas, next Friday before a
Judge or judges designated by Judge San
born presiding over this federal district.
Judge Pollock, who refused to pass upon
the question of jurisdiction and asked
Judge Sanborn to appoint adjudicators,
said today he had been notified by San
born that the request had been complied
with. Who Judge Sanborn's appointeeS
were Judge Pollock refused to say.

RAlDED PETE SCHRADER
He Had Half Pint Liquor on His Per-
SON

Pete Schrader, from whom the Rev.
Robert Gordon openly charged he had
purchased a bottle of liquor, so badly
crippled he could hardly walk, was
led to the county jail this morning
under arrest charged with violating
the prohibitory law. There a search
revealed a half pint bottle partly full
of liquor.
Schrader was located at the corner
of Sixth and Quincy street this morn
ing, sitting on a salt barrel. He was
taken in charge and was landed in
the county Jail where he probably will
remain until he is given a hearing in
court.

Although receipts of cattle were light
last week prices eased off 10 to % cents
on all kinds. Buyers have no stocks of
meat on hand to speak of but they figure
that good many cattle are about ready
for market, and are playing a waiting
game. Expectations for today were
head, the Hghtest Monday for some
months. Prices are steady to 10c lower
today, most of the loss on beef steers,
and there seems to be a weak and uncer-
tain feeling in the air, pointing to further
modest declines if receipts continue up
to normal or better. Cows and heifers are
steady today, COWS largely at s5.75 to $7.25
each class, bulls $500 to S7.25, calves 500
to So To- Dealers say these butcher classes
are about to receive a big slash in price,
to put them in line with steers, which
have lost more proportionately lately, and
because of the impending competition
from Texas grass steers, which will start
running right away. Stock cattle and feed

ers are stronger today, after two slumpy
weeks. Logically stock cattle should be
at their strongest now, with grass almost
here. Texas sales of stock cattle for
northern pastures are being made at rec
ord figures, and conservative cattlemen
say that cattle bought by the head there
cattle bought on the markets. Beef short
age is an actual fact, however, and stock
figure. Quarantine receipts are light to-
day, also supply from western sugar
mills. The Johnson guarantees brought
$s65 today, heifers at $780, sugar mill
steers $40, bulls $40.
Hog receipts today 1900 head, fairly good
when compared with recent Mondays,
sold at 1895 to $685. steady to weak on
others, bulk of sales $S85 to $500. Pork
consumption is at a high figure, as is
always the case when consumers have to
choose between high costing beef, pork
and mutton, pork always winning out in
such contests. 1t seems unlikely that re-
ceiptS will show much expansion any
where before June, and prophets are ex-
pecting the market to work higher in
April
Sheep and lambs are hanging in the bal
ance with all signs favoring a drop in
prices, yet they manage to almost hold
their own. Sales were 10c higher today,

yearlings $7.75. Receipts are 5000 here
today. and moderate receipts are expected
here till Texas starts running sheep free

WOMAN JURORS
SCORN STYLE Of
SMART LAWYER
Beau BrummeI Clothes and Bach
eIor Button of Barrister Fail
to Win His Cause.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-Per-
sonal pulchritude and unusually
smart habiliments, heightened by a
bachelors button and an ingratiating
manner, failed to win for Assistant
District Attorney Maxwell McNutt,
in his appeal to the jury Of women
which tried Mrs. Bertha J. Williams
on an extortion charge to-day. kfter
celebrating one hour and So min
utes, the jury, the first in the his
tory of the world composed Of wom-
en- to hear a felony case. brought
in a verdict Of acquittaL
"Of course she said she did what
she did, but we didn't think when she
said she did it, she meant she had
meant to do it," said one of the jury
women.
Hence, Mrs. Williams, attired in a
fetching Milan hat and a neat white
serge tailored suit, much scrutinized
by the jurywomen, made discreet os-
culatory advances to her benefactors,
and the incident was closed.
Mrs. Annette Robinson. also ar
mored in attractive feminine filings,
was the complaining witness in the
case She accused Mrs. Williams of
having written her a letter April s,
attempting to extort $3.50 in return
for the delivery of a trunk said to
have contained certain evidence
which, according to the letter would
have embarrassed Mrs. Robinson, had
it fallen into the hands of the po-
lice.

The New "piCturc
Hat"

The picture hat Is taking its re-
venge. All last winter and far into
the spring of this year it was pushed
into the background by pert little
jam pots and caricatures Of Indian
turbans. The picture hat was out of
favor. Those who continued to wear
it were smiled at as out Of date; dress
experts asserted that we should not
see a revival Of the wide brimmed
hat for several seasons to come.
But those who really understand
the fashions OF Paris-more than that,
who understand something of the
ways OF the Parisiennes never
doubted the early return OF the big
hat. weighed down with rich feathers
or lovely flowers. Its coming might
be delayed a little. but it was certain
TO arrive nevertheless. And it has
arrived.
once again there are seen genuine
picture hats. large and small; such
hats as might have graCed the beau
ties depicted by the old masters.
This is essentially a lace year Wide
lace tlOunCes are getting more and
more fashionable. They will be in
high favor for casino wear. These lace
dresses, arranged In three or four
tiers, are exceedingly becoming;
more than that they are full Of ar
tisuc charm. Painters through all
the ages have raved about supple
draperies of lace or fragile gauze.

MISS WILSON IS
PLAIN JESSIE
INKENSINGTON
Pennsylvania Folk, Whom Daugh-
ter Of President Aided, Like
White House Bride-to-Be.

PHILADELPHIA, July 19.-Ken-
sington is living over again the three
years that Miss Jessie Wilson, the
Presidents second daughter, whose
engagement to Francis Bowen Sayre,
of Bethlehem, has just been an
nounced, spent as a social worker in
the mill district.
To Kensington she is just Jessie, /"
and Jessie" she always will be, the
girl who travelled up and down mar
row streets on visits of mercy, who
attended the sick beds of mothers and
was a sister to the working girls and
pal of the short-trousered boys who
gathered at the Lighthouse gymna-
4 stun.
| Miss Wilson's work Of social service
at the Lighthouse, 1872 West Lehigh
avenue, brought her in close contact
with the men, women and children
/ of the mill sections, and to all of
| them she endeared herself by her
modesty, her unassuming manner, her
4 cordially and sincerity. The life of
/ the settlement she followed closely
| spending FIVE days a week in routine
work and returning to her home In
Princeton for the weekend.
! Many a meal Jessie Wilson has
eaten at the uncovered tables of the
Lighthouse Restaurant with motor
men and millworkers for her com
panions, never thinking herself q
whit better than the people who sur
| rounded her.
Roast beef, fried potatoes, tomato
sauce, lemon pie, bread and butter
and coffee-why should Presidents
daughter want moreR And she didn't
want more so when. 1t was more
convenient to at eat the restaurant
than with Mr.. and Mrs. r. Porter
Bradford, the manager of the
Lighthouse, with whom she resided
she ordered the menu chalked on the
wall of the restaurant, full roas
dinner for 10 cents"
Miss Wilson has lately been asso-
ciated with the National Board of tho
Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton, and has been active in work fol
the betterment Of factory girls.
