Novel Party For Bride Elect.

Miss Frances Connally is having a
delightful stay in Macon attending the
many parties given for Miss Harriotte
Winchester, a popular BRIDE ELECT. One
of the most beautiful of the series was
a luncheon which Mrs. Cecil Morgan
gave yesterday at her handsome Col
lege street residence. The Macon News
describes the unusual and artistic dec
orative effect thus:
In the center of the table a minia-
ture wedding scene was reproduced,
there being a bride and bridegroom, six
tiny bridesmaids, flower girl and an
imposing bishop. The dolls were
gowned in most up-to date bridal cos
tunes. At either end of the table were
mounds OF carnations and Violets, from
the center of which arose Easter lilies.
Aisles were arranged for the passing
of the miniature bridal party from
these floral mounds to the center by
miniature colonial columns, topped
with small baskets of pink rosebuds
and connected with garlands of white
satin ribbon, the aisle being strewn
thickly with rose petals. The chande-
lier above the scene seemed a brides
bouquet itself, all covered with feath
cry sprays of asparagus fern and clus-
ters Of valley lilies, through which
peeped out, here and there, mischiev-
Gus Cupid. The place cards were held
by birds Of bright hued plumage, and
the favors were concealed in artistic
boxes, covered with fluffy pink bows.
Various other artistic and novel details
characterized the beautiful affair"

BACK FROM WICHITA.
Utilities Commission Give New Facts
ON Gas Situation.

State wide investigation OF the quail
ty and pressure OF Kansas gas supply,
will be held by the public utilities COM
mission either late in January or carry
in February. according to announce
ment in Topeka today by members OF
the commission who returned from an
investigation of the affairs OF the Wich-
ita Gas company. TIE new hearing Will
probably result in new standard OF
gas measurement in Kansas and a new
classification of rates. It will be most
searching investigation Of the gas situ-
alton ever made by the commission.
New light on the Kansas gas s1tua-
ton was given in the Wichita hearing
this week and the public utilities COM
mission will in the future look at the
states gas troubles from an entirely
different angle. They will immediate
ly send experts and chemists into the
south Kansas gas fields to investigate
and study the quality and pressure OF
gas in the different fields and on the
testimony of these experts the commits
sion will issue a general order Affect
ing the supply, pressure and quality OF
gas furnished consumers; and may pro-
vide a new scale Of prices based on a
standard of quality.
The quality Of gas from the various
Kansas fields varies. according TO IN
formation which the commission se-
cured this week. Some gas has greater
fuel qualities than other gas with ap-
proximately the same pressure That
is one of the troubles in Wichita. We'll

gas from the Augusta fields II this
condition prevails in the Augusta field.
the commission members argue that
similar conditions may exist In other
parts Of the state and they will order
a general Investigation and look at the
matter from an entirely new angle.
DIR. H. -. Allen. professor OF analy-
tical chemistry In Kansas university.
will be sent into the southern Kansas
gas fields to study the qualities OF gas
and to make chemical analysis OF the
fuel properties Of gas from the diner
ent producing wells. His testimony
before the commission will be in the
nature Of an expert witness and he
will discuss conditions in the various
gas fields Of the state.
II the testimony gathered by the
commission In its new hearing reveals
that there - a wide difference in the
fuel qualities OF gas in various parts
of the state. 1t Is proposer to estab-
lish new rates and clsssifications- These
rates will be regulated entirely by An
established standard quality which the
commission will insist must be main
tanned for the consumer.

sion members decided on their plan
for a state wide investigation OF the

the case could be consolidated with
other cases to be brought before the

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1913-10-06

Not very many presidential ap-
pointments have been made in Flor
Ida thus far and the burden of proof
is not on us to show that Senator
Fletcher has been deprived of his
just influence in such Of them as
have been made. 1t Is for the Sun
to do that, 1t having taken the af-
firmative of the proposition. When
we consider the thousands of men
who have been and must be appoint
ed to office in all the forty-eight
States of the Union by the present
administration we can we'll believe
that the president has neither time
nor disposition to investigate the
personal preferences of delegates to
Baltimore before making those ap-
pointments and that his only pur-
pose in each case has been to select
the best man for the ONCE regard
less of whom his hacker thought
Should have been the nominee of the
party last summer. We doubt If
Senator Fletcher thinks himself
snort of his just influence in the
White House.

THE BURDEN OF PROOF
NOT ON US

Answering paragraph in the
Gainesville Sun questioning the in
fluencn of Senator Fletcher with the
Washineton administration because
he was an Underwood man in the
Baltimore convention, the TELEGRAM
said that it had seen no evidence to
that effect and didn't believe that
President Wilson could be governed
by motives so small and unworthy.
To this the Sun replies as follows:
"lf Brother Hetherineton has seen
no evidence where Senator Fletcher
is short on influence in the matter
Of patronage at the disposal of the
Wilson administration, we advise
him to thoroughly wipe his glasses
with an Old dollar bill, which is said
to Ne the best thing for such use.
If Senator Fletcher has been in
strnmental in having any of his
friends or at least political support
ers, appointed to an important Of
flee, the Sun would like to have their
names. If the senior senator is long
on influence in the way of patron
age at Washington, then 1t must
have been used in behalf of men who
opposed him in 1908, which we can
not believe"

Mr.. BlANT0N THINKS
COM. FORM UNAUTHORIZED
Lakeland, Fla, Oct. 6, 1913.


Editor Evening Telegram: Kind
ly give me space for few words to
the voters of Lakeland regarding the
proposed commission government |
cannot ask you for space sufficient
to explain many reasons that are
necessary to make my views clear
but will state little more than my
conclusions.
Much confusion is likely to result
if the election advertised for the
Sth inst. should result favorably for
commission government; because
the Legislature has never conferred
necessary power for the government
of our city by a commission. All
legislative authority Is vested in the
Legislature Of our State. The Leg
islature cannot delegate this author
ity. The reading Of our charter pro-
visions relating to commission
form Of government will convince
almost any one that our city can
not be governed under such provi-
slons. The city cannot confer pow
er upon itself, nor can 1t confer pow
er upon a commission. The idea
that the City Council b yresolution
can confer all the executive, legis-
lative and judicial power upon a
commission Is really absurd. The
resolution that is being published is
evidently transcript or extracts
taken from the charter of some COM
mission governed city. It speaks as
the voice of the Legislature rather
than as that Of City Council. The
City Council is even prescribing du-
ties for the governor of the State. |
1t cannot do this. II you ask the |
of this movement a few A.,
questions like these: BY what au-
thority Is the City Council to be
abolished? By what authority will
this proposed commission hereafter
make ordinances or enforceable reg
llations? What is to become of the
board o fbond trustees? What Is to
be done when the issuance of bonds
may hereafter be necessary? What
procedure is to be followed for the
valid issuance and fort the enforce
ment Of such bonds? How are taxes
to be levied and who are to be the
tax officers In whom is the police
power to be vested? Is the proposed
business manager TO arrest persons /
Tor offenses against the city or have
