MEANS CHEAPER
GAS IN KANSAS
Federal Supreme CourtUphotds
Act Fixing Price.
OvERRULED The NEW RATE
Decision Says That Franchise Voted
in Kansas City, Kan, in Novem-.
Der, 1917, Has No
Standing. -

Washington, Jan. 6.-The price OF
natural gas to consumers in Kansas
City, Kan. hereafter will be % cents
per 1000 cubic feet. =
The supreme court has held that
an act of the Kansas legislature, eff
fective May %, 1911, fixing the rates
Of all public utilities at the rates in
force on January !, 1911, did not vio-
late the obligation of the franchise
of the Wyandotte County Gas Com
pany to furnish gas to Kansas City
and that franchise which entitled
the company to increase it's rates
from Is to ~ cents November 10,
1911, was not valid one.
In January, 1911, the gas company,
acting on the terms OF it's franchise,
raised the rates from 25 cents to q
cents a thousand cubic feet. The
company was enjoined by the city in
the First division of the Wyandotte
county district court, Judge Fischer
holding that a city had no power to
fix rates unless recommended by the
public utilities commission. The Kan
sas utilities commission refused to
order raise in rates, and the gas
company appealed to the Kansas SUI
preme court, which affirmed the o.
ders of Judge Fischer and the utility
board. An appeal was then taken to
the United States supreme court.
Since last May the gas company has
becne charging consumers a 27-cent
rate. The receipts bear printed
promise that if the 25-cent rate is up
held, the extra 2 cents on each thou
sand feet purchased since May shall
be refunded The amount of this re-
fund is somewhere between $42 600
and $4,000. Officers of the company
told Mayor Green that strict account
of all the overcharge had been kept
and that the money would be refund
ed at once.
The decision of the supreme court
puts new construction on city's
power to make contracts. In 1905
Kansas City, Kan, gave the Wyan'
dotte County Gas Company a fran
chise fixing a schedule OF rates to
exist during the lie Of the contract.
beginning in 1911, the rates were to
be increased to % cents, with subse-
quent increases at stated periods,
with limitation that the rates at all
times be limited to the rate charged
in Kansas City, Mo.
When the company attempted to in
enjoined the In ton the ground that a
city has mol power to fix rates. but
that power is vested with the utilities
commission Judge Fischer upheld
this contention: and was upheld in
both superior courts.

IT'S THE SAME AS FETERITA
"Schribar Corn" Now Being Adver.
tised in Southwest, No Better
Than the Other Sorghums.

Washington, Jan. 5.-A sorghum des:
ignated as ''Schribar Corn" has been
extensively advertised in Oklahoma
during the past summer and fall. Nu-
merous inquiries have been addressed
to the department regarding it. Ac-
cording to those promoting this crop
it was produced by crossing two or
three strains of sorghum secured in
Southern Europe and Northern India
Samples of this sorghum on exhibit
At the International Dry Land Con-
gress, Tulsa, Ok. October. 1913, as
we'll as head samples submitted to
the U. s. Department Of Agriculture
at different times, were indistinguish-
able from Feterita, a sorghum secured
~ the u. 8. Department of Agricul-
tire from Khartum, Sudan, in Novem-
her, 1906, and now distributed quite
widely over Oklahoma, Kansas and
Texas. Feterita is very different from
any other known sorghum and there
ia no reason to believe that 'Schribar
Corn" differs from it in any way. Seed
& Feterita can be purchased at rea-
sonable rates and there is no need
for farmers to pay fancy price for
it under another name.

MAD DOG KILLED IN CHURCH
A Davenport, la, Priest Drove Animal
Into Corner and Averted
Panic.

Davenport, Ia. Jan. 2.-Five hun
dred worshippers, mostly women and
children, at St. Anthony's church here
were thrown into panic when a mad
bulldog rushed into the church during
mass. Only the GOODNESS displayed by
the pastor, the Rev. d. j. Flannery,
averted mad rush for the exits.
Those nearest him mounted the
seats of the pews, while others rushed
panic stricken toward the doors.
Keep your Seats" shouted Father
F1annery as he rushed towards the
animal with a bronze candlestick and
drove him into far corner of the
church.
When a policeman arrived the dog
sprang at his throat. Haus knocked
the dog down with the barrel of his
revolver, and then shot him.

Military Officers Issue a.
---~~. Statement.

Trinidad, Col, Jan. 5.-Acting under
orders from Adjutant General John
Chase detail Of the state militia met
Mother Mary Jones on her arrival
here from Ell Paso, ordered her to re-
turn aboard the train and accompa-
MED her as far as Walsenburg, the
limit OF the military zone. Mother
Jones offered no remonstrance and no
demonstration occurred. At the Trin1.
dad station she purchased ticket for
Denver.
The military authorities had learned
at Trinidad to exhort the strikers and
aeeming her presence in the city I'M
desirable, General Chase ordered her
deported. Should she return General
Chase said she will be arrested by
military authorities. The presence
Of many more citizens than troopers
at the station here upon the arrival
Of Mother" Jones led to the report
that the citizens themselves had de-
ported the labor agitator and that the

from unnecessary indignities.
The deportation OF Mother" Jones
caused much anger ON the part of the
strikers and strike leaders here and
there were many urgent requests for
warded to Denver that she return to
Trinidad at once, assuring her pro-
lection from any number of troops or
citizens. Many strike leaders, includ-
ing John McLennon, president Of the
Colorado Federation of Labor, were
present at the station when Mother"
Jones arrived, but the military officers
would not permit her to speak to any
Of them.
After the deportation General Chase
made public the following statement:
mother Jones was~met at the
train in the morning by the military
escort, acting under instructions not
to permit her to remain in this dis
trict. The detail took charge Of Mrs.
Jehesoand her baggage, and she was
accompanied out of the district un.
der guard after she had been given
breakfast.
The step was taken in accordance
with my instructions to preserve the
peace in the district. The presence
OF Mother Jones at this time cannot
be tolerated. She had planned to 60
to the Ludlow tent colony of strikers
to sto p the desertion of union miners>
IF she returnS she will ho n1acod in

WILSON AND LIND CONFER
PRESIDENT AND SPECIAL ENVOY
MEET IN SECRET.
Mexican Situation Discussed on Board
the Chester, but No Conclusions
Made Public.

Pass Christian, Miss. Jan. 3,-Presi-
dent Wilson and John Lind, his per-
sonal representative in Mexico, sat in
the cabin of the scout cruiser Chester,
deeply absorbed in a discussion of the
Mexican situation.
1t was their first meeting since last
July, when the President conferred
with Mr.. Lind at. the White House
preparatory to the latters departure
for the City of Mexico. with instruc-
tions that created a diplomatic episode
in American history.
The conference lasted until after 8
O'Clock at night when the President re-
turned to Gulfport, where automobiles
were ready to take him to Pass Chris
tian. Just as much secrecy as charac-
terized the Presidents first meeting
with Mr.. Lind was evident on this oc-
casion.
For two days mysterious reticence
has been apparent at the presidential
cattage, concerning the present confer
ence. When dispatches from Vera
Cruz announced that Mr. Lind would
come to Pass Christian, there was a
noticeab BILE manifestation Of displeasure
among the members of the Presidents
party that his destination should have
been made public. President Wilson
had hoped to slip quietly away aboard
the revenue cutter Winona, For a
yachting trip" and meet MI. Lind at
sea.
The same effort at secrecy with re-
spect to the Chester's wherea bouts was
frustrated BY wireless news of her
location near Ship Island v
For nearly twenty.four hours Mr..
Lind was off shore on the cruiser
Chester before meeting the President,
and intead Of permitting the personal
envoy to come ashore, President Will
son took a trip in a 20-foot lounch,
mounted compani0nway to the reve-
nue. cutter Winona and was trans
shipped again in md-gulf to the Ches-
ter.
Information as to what the President
intended to do was denied the news
paper correspondents here. A big
squad OF them. however, was on hand
at the Oyster dock at 3 o'clock when
President Wilson, accompanied by DR..
Cary 7. Grayson and two secret serv-
Ice men, appeared The revenue cutter
Winona came as close to the shore as
possible and sent launch for the
President. The nations chief execu-
tive got into the boiling craft and in
fifteen minutes the Presidents flag
was hoisted on the main mast of the
cutter, which turned its prov seward,
followed by a tug chartered by the
newspaper correspondents.
