of Kansas Natural
Hold Out No Hope.
Say No Additional Gas Supply
for Next Winter.
RECEIVERS HOLD MEETING
Put Up at Hotel Baltimore and
Do Nothing but Talk.
Must Wait Until Divided Re-
ceivership Untangles.

Kansas City, June 12.-Receivers and
officers of the Kansas Natural Gas
company met at the hotel Baltimore
today in an important conference, the
first held since Judge MarshalPs de-
cision, splitting up the control of the
Kansas Natural between federal
and state receivers. Following the
conference, the receivers announced
they could do nothing at all to increase
the supply of gas for Kansas City next
winter. They could not spend any
money to reach new fields, they said,
until the divided receivership finally
was Strengthened out by thu courts. At
the conference were the three receivers
Eugene Mackey, of Pittsburg, Pa,
president of the company; George F.
Sharitt. of Topeka, and Conroy F.
Holmes of Kansas CITY; A. B. Macbeth
gineer; and w. F. Douthirt, vice
president of the United Gas Improve
ment company. Mr.. Mackey left
shortly after the conference began, to
take train to Pittsburg. his home. He
was merely passing through Kansas
City and stopped off to meet the other
receivers. Mr.. Holmes, Mr.. Sharitt
and the other gas officials remained in
conference all morning. I'VE merely
met in an informal conference to talk
at noon. I'VE formed no definite plans
of action. There is none we could
form in view of the situation in the
courts
Did the receivers decide to spend
any additional money to get more gas
for Kansas City next winter?" Mr..
Holmes was asked.
I'VE did not Mr.. Holmes answered.
We can't spend any money until the
court situation is Strengthened out
will the receivers take any steps to
better conditions for next winter?"
I'VE decided upon none at today's
meeting and 1 know of none we could
take now" the receiver answered.
Mr.. Douthirt, whose company controls
the Kansas City and other gas COM
panies hereabouts, said today that the
notice would not be served this year
and probably not next year, but he
sounded positive warning that there
would be no improvement in the gas
service this winter compared with last.
There is absolutely no chance for
any more gas next winter, while the
chances are exceedingly good that
there will be much less Mr.. Douthirt
said. THE gas companies are so tied
up in the courts that it is impossible
to make any Improvement and there
is no prospect of an increase in the
source of supply"

AN UNFIT PROPOSAL.

It is singular to see the ingenuity
shown by Senators from the older
States to "keep their money at home. -
The opposition by Senators of the East
to the income tax is largely because
that tax will be chiefly paid in their
older settled regions in the Eastern
States; and so they arc casting about
to find some way to divert that money
from the National treasury to some 10.
cal purpose. Here is Senator Dilhnr.
ham Of Vermont, for example, proposing
that the proceeds of income taxes be
spent to improve tho roads, each State
TO furnish sum equal to the amount
Of Federal aid derived from the income
tax. 1t is an impractical proposition
but ingenious in carrying out tho idea
that the States which will pay the most
Of this income tax have an overmaster.
ing desire to get that money back in
some form.
But of all the amendments proposed
to the Democratic partisan tariff and in.
come tax legislation (these two meas.
ures being in one bill this proposal OF
Senator Dillingham; IS is the most sec.
tionaI and the most indefensible.

The better medical opinion now evil
IDENTITY is that n man from the north
can have his constitution undermined
BY tropical climate without his con
tracting any special disease This
seems to be as reasonable proposition
as II is an expert proposition from
scientific standpoint. It is position
that Is fairly borne out by the facts
connected with the Utah men who
served In the Philippines, to their own
damage and destruction. We have no
doubt that a prolonged residence in the
tropics is, and must necessarily be,
harmful and often even fatal, to many
of the temperate climes who go there
suddenly and remain a sufficient length
Of time for the tropical sun to get into
their blood; this entirely aside from any
danger Of malaria or other infection.

THE HOT SUN DOES 1T.

1t has been claimed by a good many
people In this region that the service
Of the Utah batterymen In tho Phil
ippines had severe, and IN many cases
disastrous, effect upon the physique
Of these men. A good many who went
into the war In good physical condition
never fully rallied after their service
Even where nothing seemed to be espe-
cially amiss at the time Of their dis
CHARGE, the weakening effect of the
service became apparent as the years
passed. This is quite In accord with
the consensus Of medical opinion which
has just been expressed upon the break
down OF Lieutenant Colonel Gaillard at
Panama. who returns home broken in
constitution by reason Of his labors In
Panama canal work.
II has often been held that there Is
no danger in the Panama Canal zone
since il has been freed from malaria;
and vet Lieutenant Colonel Gaillard re-
turns home broken man. DIT. Charles
A, woodruff. or the u. 3. A Medical
Corps, has for years past fought the
idea that the only danger to be feared
In the tropics Is from infection. He
urges that It ls the sunlight more than
any special microbe that breaks the
strength Of the northerner in south
ern land. Doctors generally have long
combated DR.. Woodruff's position in
this. DR.. Frazier, of the Bureau Of
Science, Is quoted as one Of the most
ardent in his belief in the harmlessness
of the Philippine climate, yet he died
from its effects, as DR.. Woodruff de-
clared.
Dr. Washburn, who recently resigned
from the Civil Service Commission.
once stated that no man could become
i'll in the Philippines if he was moral
and sober: and yet he broke down after
