BOY SAVED BABIES FROM FIRE
BUT RESCUER MAY Die FROM
HIS BURNS.
A Ten-Year-Old Wichita Youth Car
ries Children From Their
Burning Home.

Wichita, Kan.-Willie Patterson,
10 years old, may die as the result OF
burns he received when he hescued
his baby sister and brother from a
fire that dnestroyed their homes here.
All five children in the family were
burned severely. =
The explosion of a can of gasoline
enveloped the room in the small house
in names, while the mother was at a
grocery store across the street. Two
children, 5 and years old, climbed
from window and escaped after their
clothing had been ignited. Willie ran
to his mother. When she had eXtin-
guished the flames that enveloped his
clothing he ran back to the house.
Il must get the babies" he said.
A sister, 21a years old, and a
brother, months old, were laying on
couch. Willie carried them from the
house, then tainted. His condition is
dangerous.

KILLED IN COLLAPSED STORE
Building Fell in at Mckinley,
Texas.

Mckinley, TeXas.-Eight persons
were killed and fifteen hurt here when
the walls of a building occupied by a
farming implement firm fell and
crashed into a department store, caus-
ing that building to collapse.
Fire broke out in the ruins, and it
was believed until late at night that
the death list was much larger At
midnight rescuers ceased working, be-
ing assured that no more bodies re-
NAMED in the wreckage.
At the first cracking of timbers,
clerks and customers in the depart
ment store broke for the streets.
Pressed outward by the weight Of the
heavy stock the wall of the implement
building swayed, sagged and burst
through into the department store
and in an instant hundreds of tons
of merchandise and wrecked build
ing material roared into heap of
debris into the department store,
which was crowded with shoppers.

FISHER TELLS OF OIL GRANTS
Interior Department Secretary Says
Uncle Sam Leases Did Not Pay
Enough Royalty.

Washington. a long eXami-
nation of Secretary Fisher of the In
terror Department, the House Indian
affairs committee concluded its inves-
tigation of the controversy between
the secretary, deposed members of
the> tribal council of the Usage In
dians and the Uncle Sam Oil Com
pany over leases to Indian oil lands
granted by the deposed council to the
Uncle Sam Oil Company. Secretary
Fisher was emphatic in his opposi-
ton to the granting of the leases to
the Uncle Sam Oil Company and
caustic in his criticisms of the con-
duct of the company in procuring the
leases.
While the secretary was testifying
the United States District Court here
dismissed an application for writ
of mandamus that would force him
to reinstate the deposed officials of
the Indian tribe. The court held that
the law conferred on the secretary
the power to remove the tribal
chiefs and council for good cause"

THE PRICE OF GAS MUST GO UP
Judge PolIoek's Figures Are
Too High.

Topeka-That there must be an
increase in the price of natural gas
to consumers, but that it will not be
nearly as much as that ordered by
Judge John C. Pollock, was generally
agreed at the meeting here of Kan
sas City officials with the state util-
tiles commission and officials of the
gas companies.
A report of W. T. Newman, special
accountant for the Kansas Utilities
Commission, shows heavy decrease
in the production of natural gas from
the Kansas Naturals own fields and
in the last year big decrease in the
quantity of gas used for boiler con-
sumption.
Reports of the engineers for the re-
ceivers and of c. C. Witt for the util-
tiles commission were widely at va
rance and it finally was agreed that
both reports should be presented to
the commission for consideration.
The report of Mr. Newman shows
an increase in the expenses of deliv-
ering gas to the distributing compa-
MES. 1t also shows that contracts
with distributing companies have
been made at higher rate than the
more recent contracts.

ACTUAL COST OF NATURAL GAS
ELEVEN AND A QUARTER CENTS
BRINGS 1T TO CITIES.
Figures Produced at the Hearing in
Topeka Give Insight Into
Affairs.

Topeka.-lt costs the Kansas Nat.
ural Gas Company liz cents a thou
sand cubic feet to furnish the nat
ural gas it sells to the cities of Kan
sas and the border Missouri cities
That was the evidence produced by
the state before the Kansas public
utilities commission in the hearing to
establish reasonable charge for nat
ural gas. This II cents pays the in
terest on the bonded debt of the Kan
sas Natural, provides for its sinking
fund, pays the royalties for gas and
the actual cost of pumping and de-
livering the gas at the gates of thirty
cities. 1t is, of course, the average
cost, some cities showing higher
and some a lower figure.
This information was obtained by
c., C. Witt, engineer for the commits
sion, and A. Newman, special ac-
ccuntant from the banking depart
ment. 1t was shown from the records
that r. A. Losg, X. NJ Snyder and
their associates in Kansas City had
been given $12,OOO,OOO in stock, $780,
900 in bonds and had received over
$1,000,000 in dividends for the gas
leases they had procured. The stock
issue of the Kansas Natural repre-
sents the value of the gas leases.
The bond issue of IA million dollars
represents the money put into the
pipe lines and the pumping stations
of the company.
For the year 1911 Mr. Wits re-
port showed that the Kansas Natural
Company collected for 42,420,0 100000
cubic feet of gas, pressure of six
ounces. The report of the accountant,
W. T. Newman. showed that the
book valuation of the first cost of
the company's plants and properties
was somewhat in excess of thirteen
million dollars.

DOWN TO THE BARE FACTS
Young Minister'S Passion for SeIf-Sac-

Have Been Anticipated.

The announcement of Miss Helen
Miller Gould's betrothal led one Of the
charity workers of New York to say:
Marriage itself will not be able to
quench Miss Gould's passion for CIV
ing Apropos to this passion, she once
told me story.
There was young minister the
story ran, who, being poor and hav-
ing nothing else to give, used to give
away his clothes.
The young minister's district con-
tanned many needy men, and he would
give them shoes and socks, shirts and
coats, gloves, overcoats and trousers.
Yes, time and again he would give
away his clothes foolishly and reck-
iessly piece by piece, until"
Here the charity worker smiled.

The Smile,

The girl who smiles too much makes
as great a mistake as she who smiles
too little, for though she may be only
actuated by an honest desire to
please. she lays herself open to the
charge of insincerity. A smile can
transform a plain face into loneliness.
but it only does this when it is the
outcome of some special emotion, and
not mere aimless parting Of the lips.
Smiling to order" or on any and ev-
cry occasion, is fatal to charm, and
should be carefully avoided.
