THEY SEEK DE[AY.
Gas Co. Attorneys Ask Supreme Court
Stay of Execution.

Application for a stay of execution
in the Kansas Natural Gas company
trust case was filed this afternoon in
the supreme court. The application
came from Montgomery county, where
Judge Flannelly had declared that the
Independence Gas company, the Con-
solidated Gas company and the Kan
sas Natural We're a trust and combine,
acting in restraint of trade; and had
accordingly appointed receivers for
the corporations.
The trust case had been filed in
Montgomery county before the appli-
cation for a receiver was filed with
Judge Pollock in the federal court.
Consequently the Independence judge
declined to dismiss his cases and pro-
ceeded to find that the gas companies
We're violating the antitrust laws and
appointed receivers to take over their
business. An application to turn the
property of the Kansas Natural over
to Flannelly's receivers is now pend
ing before Judge Pollock and will be
heard next Monday.
Gas companies interested in the
Flannelly decision will appeal to the
supreme court. But to dodge the
execution of the Montgomery county
courts order, they have sought re
lief in the supreme court through an
order blocking execution. The appli-
cation for a stay will be ehard by the
supreme court at o'clock Friday aft
ernOOn.

EDUCATIONAL BOARD.
Held First Meeting Today-Ed Hack
ney President.

Plans for the management and control
of the state schools are being outlined at
a meeting in the governors office today
of members of the new educational adj
minstration board 1t is the first meet
ing of this new board, which succeeds
the boards of regents after July l. At
the meeting this morning Ed T. Hack
ney of Winfield was elected president of
the board.
Although their real work does not be-
gin for more than three months, members
of the board expect to spend busy
spring studying the workings of the sew
eral schools under their supervisions.
Next week the board will visit Kansas
university, the State Agricultural college,
the State Normal and the schools for the
deaf, dumb and blind, all of which are
under the direction of this new central
administration body. 1t is also probable
that within the next few days the board
will call before it the members of the
boards of regents of the several schools
and will discuss with these men and
women the needs and requirements of
the various institutions
Members of the board believe that by
July L they will have the work outlined
in a manner that will permit them to
take charge of the schools and give val
liable service in the new system of man
agement. Not only will the boards of
but the heads of the several schools will
also be called upon and consulted regard
ing any new policies which may be in
augurated.
TT is too early yet to outline definitely
any line of action" said President Hack
new but the members of the board will
devote almost their entire time to the
work until July 1. BY that time we will
outline a definite policy and propose to
pursue that course in the management
of the schools. 1 think that the new
plan of managing the state schools will

schools, but of the taxpayers of the state

Probably some time this afternoon a
secretary for the new board will be nam
ed. There are many applicants for this
position. The secretary is not a member
of the educational board, but the new po-
sition is good one and there have been
many applicants for the place.
Headquarters will be maintained in the
state house by the educational board and
regular meetings held. These offices, how
ever will not be opened until the new
board begins it's official work in July.
In the preparatory work and during the
campaign of investigation into their new
responsibilities, the board will probably
hold its meetings in the governors Of
