FEDERAL JUDGE TELLS COMPANY
NOT TO OBEY ORDERS OF UTiL-
tiles COMMISSION.
SAYS ORDER UNJUST
Judge Marshall Says Order Of Com =.
mission to Extend Lines Into Ok
ahoma Fields is Beyond Commits
sons Jurisdiction.

Topeka, Kan, July 24,-Th direct
ors of the Kansas Natural Gas com
pany are directed not to obey the or
der of the Kansas public utilities com
mission in an order received in the
Topeka offices of the United States
district court from Judge Marshall of
Salt Lake City.
Marshall declares the writ issued by
Henderson Martin, chairman OF the
utilities commission and directing that
the gas companies extend tier pipe
lines to new gas fields in Oklahoma,
is not founded upon sound principles
of law. But, the federal judge says,
there is no law which permits the
Kansas utilities commission TO compel
the receivers to perform service III
another state over which it holds no
jurisdiction The Salt Lake Judge
recites that the evidence presented in
dicates that at the present rates the
10 uHuDlt W Cul IL phN
that a compulsory order to spend the
money now on hand would be unjust.
The Kansas Natural Gas company
is not a common carrier, :he opinion
reads. However, the company has
been granted rights Of eminent do
main and it's business has been such
as to give the public an interest in it.
Yet there is no specific contract or
charter provision compelling the Kan
sas Natural to supply gas in any guam
tity or to build pipe line that it
might fulfill the needs of the people
dependent upon it. Marshall's opin-
ion is brief. He made it clear that he
doesn't have high regard for the or
der of the utilities commission from
the standpoint Of lack of legal power
and failure to produce from the char
ter anything binding on the gas COM
pany to extend it's mains.

BUILDING ROADS
IN SEQUOYAH CO.
BANKERS AND lABORERS AND
SOCIETY AND FARM WOMEN
BUILD FINE ROAD.

Muskogee, Okla, July 23.-Towns
in Sequoyah county united and in one
day completed nine-mile automobile
pike between Sallisaw and Wan, Okla.
1t was one Of the most remarkable
pieces of road building ever known
in the southwest. Bankers worked
beside common laborers and society
women cooked meals and served them
beside the washerwoman and the
farmers wife.
The workers principally comprised
the population OF the towns OF Salli-
saw and Wan. There were about $50
men, seventy-five teams and several
hundred women who took part in the
work Out of fifty-six business
houses in Sallisaw, all closed save two.
in Wan all were close except a drug
store.
The workers were divided into nine
squads, five working out of Sallisaw
and four out or Wan. Each squad
lad its captain who was in charge of
the road scrapers, plows and graders.
These were followed by hand tool men
with axes, picks and grubbing hoes.
There were nine drags used in the
work.
The women were also divided in
squads and cooked and served the
MONDAY meal. BY night there was a
little finishing up to do and one squad
of men and women remained on the
job until dark. The result is that Sc
quOyah county has nine miles OF fine
pike. Three miles more will be built
In a similar manner. All the work
ers were volunteers,

iNFANTILE PARALYSIS GROWS.
Eight Gases Reported in Kansas in
Less Than Week.

Topeka, July 23.-Within less than
week eight cases of infantile par
alysis in Kansas have been reported
to the state board of health. There
are four cases in Parsons, two in
Edwards county, one in Ellsworth
county, and one in Wichita.
A most rigid quarantine of the cases
has been ordered. Investigations are
being made in each case to learn +
possible the source of infection aud
to prevent the disease from spread
ing.
"The disease is communicable" :"
said DIR. John j. Sippy today, "and
is due to specific germ which pro-
duces an inflammation of the spinal
chord, setting up paralysis in one or
more of the extremities which usu-
ally remains permanent. The spe-
cific carrier of the disease Is in a
great many instances the stable fly"

CONGRESS OPPOSES
PARCEL POST CUT.
POSTMASTER GENERAL CALLED
TO CARPET TO EXPLAIN HIS
ASSUMPTION OF AUTHORITY"

Washington, July 24.-Concerted op-
position has developed in congress to
Postmaster General Burleson's order
reducing parcel post rates and in
creasing the maximum size of pack
ages to be handled in the service.
The order was issued Sunday, to
become effective August Is, and tC-
day the senate postoffice committee
requested Mr.. Burleson to appear be-
fore the committee next Thursday
with an explanation of the authority
for his action.
This was the first step in what
promises to be a bitter contest. When
the postmaster general has been
heard, the committee is expected to
undertake to have withdrawn before
August Is any authority he may claim
congress has given him to change
rates and sizes. 1t was contended in
the committee that the proposed
changes would entail an enormous
loss to the government and some of
the members complained that the
postoffice department had failed to
furnish congress with data concern
ing tn cooperation of the parcel post.
Apparently there was no difference
of opinion in. the committee as to
whether the postmaster general should
change the rates, democrats and re-
publicans agreeing that only congress
ought to have this power.
The controversy has aroused ex-
traordinary interest at the capitol and
in official circles, since the parcel
post touches more or less directly
nearly everybody in the country.
Those who are supporting the post
master general in his stand insist
that the only loss imminent under
the proposed charges would be to the
express companies which now acrry
the profit making, large sized pack
ages, while the government trans
ports the Improbable, small ones.
The changes ordered by the post
master general would affect only the
first or second zones, or territory
within a radius of $50 miles of the
point of mailing. The maximum
weight of parcels would be changed
from eleven to twenty pounds.

was decided by the board to reject

SAVE YOUR BOOKS.
City Schools Will Not Change the 1908
Text Books This Year.

Be careful about selling your sec
ond hand books. Supt Richards will
carry out the instructions of the city
board of education and will use the
same text books in the schools that
we're used last year. The text book
situation in the state is in chaotic con-
dition due to the fuss between the
governor and the state board of edu-
cation and to the ruling of the courts.
While the situation remains as it is
the city sCools will make no changes
in the text books. No use to change
change might be required.
