Exceeding the Speed Limit.

The question as to whether OF
not meters are liable to run "fast'
has been determined by the city
council of Independence. An expert
from Coe college has just completed
a thorough examination of the chem
ical properties of the gas in that
city, also of the meters, and his re.
port to the city council is an inter
esting document. The gas, while
not up to the standard of the fran
chise, was of passing grade but the
meters were found to favor the COM
pany by industriously registering
cubic feet Of gas greatly in excess OIL
the amount actually consumed. Here
is the report on the meters:
R. Leytzes residence-D. Melon
aid meter, 4 per cent fast.
McClernon hospital-Americar
meter, SO per cent fast.
Herb Swan residence-D. Melon
aid meter, SIS per cent fast.
Swan & Leytze's stored. Nc
Donald meter, 81 per cent fast. This
meter was taken to the Office of the
city gas inspector of Cedar Rapids,
tested by city proven and gave 81
per cent fast. 1t was then taken to
the repair shops of the Cedar Rap
ids Gas company and tested and
gave 81 per cent fast.
A. Dusman, tailor shop-McDon-
aid meter, registering dollars and
cents, GA per cent fast. This meter
was also tested by the Cedar Rapids
Gas company and found to be GA
per cent fast.
VIM. Simpsons residence-Mc-
Donald meter registering dollars
and cents, 12.46 per cent fast.
H. r. Keagy's residence-Mary-
land meter, one-half per cent fast.
w. R. Norton's residence-Mc-
Donald meter, 5.5 per cent fast.
G. w. Mattice's observation-disclosures
& McIlhenny prepaid meter, 4.93
per cent fast.
Simpsons Cafe-No. 5 meter 1872
per cent fast.
Only two meters fulfilled the re-
quirements of the franchise, name
ly, that the meter shall be within 2
per cent of accuracy in measure
ment. One of these is at the H. R.
Keagy residence and the other at
Simpsons cafe.
In conclusion / would say that so
far as l have Investigated the sit
uation in regard to the meters l am
inclined to think that the old me-
tiers are for the most part fast. This
is probably due, first, to the fact
that they have been in use a long
time; second, that the oil gas that
was formerly used may have caused
the bellows of the meter to harden
and as result fail to measure a
large volume of gas in
the act of expanding and contract
ing.
For the benefit of all parties con-
cerned, all meters should be tested
before being put into service, not
the fact that they may
be new. I would therefore recon-
mend that you see to it that a me-
ter proven be installed in your city
for the purpose of testing meters, or
provide some way by which the con-
sumner as well as the manufacturer
Of gas may know within a reason
able degree of accuracy the amount
Of gas that is being bought and

Against the Herd Law.

The pratice of leaving stock to
feed by the roadside, either day
time or night, is in direct opposi-
ton to the state herd law, which
plainly forbids the grazing of cat
tie or horses by the road. It is a
practice that is very common, how
ever, and auto drivers especially
complain of herds of cattle frequent
ly by the road side both day and
night, which makes driving doubly
dangerous. There is also an excel
lent opportunity for stock to be stol-
en- when left on the public highway.

SERVE TERM AT LEAVENWORTH

| Des Moines, June &C. H. York,
the Colfax Grocer, was sentenced to
one year and one day in the Leav-
enworth federal prison by Judge Nc
Pherson in the United States federal
court yesterday, following the ver-
dict of guilty of the charges of
white slavery which was returned
yesterday. York is given four days
of liberty in which to get appeal
bonds of $4,000. The sentence does
not give the alternative of a fine
and the prison term must be served.
The arrest of York last September
on a charge of white slavery, follow
ing the probe into Banker Whee-
locks death was sensation which
is still fresh in the minds of the
people in this section of the state.
State officials had hoped that the
trial of his case would aid them in
their investigation of Wheelock's
death.
Nothing developed, however, that
will be of the least assistance to
them. ...
York surprised those who have
been watching the case of admitting
on the witness stand that he occu-
pied room at the Savory hotel on
the nights of April II, IS and 10,
1913, with Mrs. Jackson.
He told of their relations during
the last ten years and corroborated
her story in every detail except that
he denied he induced or furnished
Mrs. Jackson with funds to make the
trip from Kansas City to Des Moines.
