MUST BURN COAL
Is Ultimatum From Utilities
Commission
On the Kansas Natural Gas
Supply.
SUPPLY is IS Per CENT SHORT
Says Henderson Martin i'm Let
ter to Mayors.
Will Be No Gas for Cooking,
He Says.

Henderson S. Martin, chairman of the
public utilities commission will this
week send letters to mayors of the
Kansas gas towns, urging them to no
tlfy gas consumers that there will be
an inadequate supply of gas this win
ter and that full coal bin will be the
only real safeguard against a possible
severe winter. According to Martin
advises from experts EN- ioyed by the
utilities commission, the gas supply
this winter will be but about one-half
that of last winter and the supply last
year was sufficient to meet only about
one-half of the demand.
During 1912, the Kansas Natural Gas
company was able to supply about 80
million thousand cubic feet of gas.
That meant an average of two and
half million thousand cubic feet a
month. But as the pressure is much
heavier during the summer months
than in the winter months. the Deem
Der, January and AFebruary pressure
was decidedly low and at just the time
when gas consumers were wanting
strong pressure.
Recites Gas Troubles.
In his letter to Kansas mayors, Mar
tin will recite the troubles OF the utili-
ties commission and the failure of the
state to compel the Kansas Natural tC
in Kansas and Oklahoma. This failure
on the part of the gas company and
its receivers to secure an extra supply
OF fuel. Martin contends, is due to the
present conditions and means that Kan
sas will virtually be without gas this
winter.
There will be no gas for cooking pur
poses in any of the towns supplied by
the Kansas Natural, Martin insists,
and consumers must content themselves
with a low pressure for lighting pur
poses only.
81 am convinced that the gas sup
ply this winter will be only about
one-half of that furnished in 1912
13," said Martin, land the supply
last winter was equal to only about
half the demand on the part of con-
sumers. For that reason, / will adj
wise the mayors OF the different towns
10 issue statement to consumers
advising them of the conditions as
we have found them and to let the
public know that the pressure next
winter will be but about one-fourth
the required amount. In my opinion, ,
there will be no gas for cooking pur
poses and consumers must limit |
themselves to the use of gas for
lighting only" |
The Martin letters will probably be !
mailed from the office of the utili- !
les commission some time this week !

The history Of Ford's Theater, on
which Mr.. Mudd Is working now, will
be a book of some length, for the old
building, now used by the government. In
which President Lincoln was shot. has
a long and interesting history.
History of Ford's Theater.
In 1893 Ford's Theater was Baptist
church. In tie early eos 1t was sold
to John T. Ford. Of Baltimore. and was
opened with Christy's Minstrels as the
attraction. 1t was burned, rebuilt. and
called Ford's Atheneum. After the as
sassination of Lincoln the reputation Of
the old building was smirched again
when, while being used by the govern
ment, the walls gave way and killed and
injured a large number Of people.
Then there is still to come from the
pen of Mr.. Mudd a history of the cir
cuses of Washington. The first plans
made for the accommodation Of real
circus was when a big building was put
I'D in c Street, between Sixth and Sew
enth Streets. This was opened Decem-
Der Is, 1890, and ran for number OF
years as a showhouse for circuses and
theatrical performances. There many OF
the leading stars Of the day were seen.
Then came the construction OF Apollo
Hall, in the Avenue, near Seventh Street;
the Melodian Opera House. also in Penn
syIvania Avenue. near Tenth Street. and
Odd Fellows Hall. in Seventh Street. One
of the most important houses OF that
time was Lincoln Hall, at Ninth and ID
Streets. This was one of the fashionable
theaters of the Capital.
