BLAME FLASHINCS.
And FirewalIs for Leaks at Memorial
Building.

In reference to the leaking in the
roof of the Memorial building; since
the heavy rains of the last few weeks
a careful examination of the roof has
been made by the state architect to
locate the source and cause of the
leakage is not in the roof proper, or
that his examination shows that the
leakage is not in the rof proper, or
through the roofing material, but in
stead comes down the fircwalls and
back of the counter FLASHING; which in
several places has become Ioosened.
The report also shows that the leaks
can in no wise be charged to faulty
roofing material, and that the loosen
ing of the flaShingS is not a condition
peculiar to this building, or to the
particular material used in roofing
this building, but one that could oc-
cur in any building, covered with any
kind of roofing material requiring
counterflashings, and where the
counterflashing is not properly done
or properly connected with the roof
ing material proper.

Not Echoed by People.

Mexico City, Saturday, June s.
Correspondence of the Associated
Press )-President Wilson's recent
declaration on the Mexican question
has created a sensation in this ca pital
and throughout the federal district.
The public is warm in its praise of
the spirit of fair mindedness and
friendship shown by the American
executive. but the military leaders
are somewhat careful in their COM
ment. President Cara has received
the following letter on the subject
from Gen. Eufemia Zapata, brother of
Gen Emiliano Zapata.
General Is Bitter.
1t can be taken as a sample of what
some of the revolutionists think in
this connection:
"Cuatla. June 1. 1915.-Answering
your message of today referring to
Intervention, 1 can only say that we
are Mexicans. Two times before this
we have been threatened as If we
were children. l am not sure that you
would care to make public my ideas
about the matter.
IF these northerners do not wish to
take into consideration our rights as
guardians of Mexican soil: if they
deem us weak and inca pable of defend
ing our beloved country: if they con-
slider it honorable to allow great ma
ton to sink ship like the Lusitania
with impunity and then to desire to
mix in our political affairs simply be-
cause they are strong, then L say let
hostilitieS break out. Let them bonn
bard our ports with their great squad
rons, we have no warShipS. 1t does
not matter.
But Never Intimidated.
Let them send millions of their
soldiers. We will fight them one
against two hundred.
But never will the Mexican be in
timidated by the braggadocio of the
Yankees.
IF 1 compromise myself by these
expressions, 1 and my followers ac-
cepu all responsibility. We will an
swer with our lives if necessary. We
will go against these invaders and
drive them from Mexico.
"Our country and history will later
cover us with glory for not running
as towards before this powerful nation
that wishes to crush us for committing
no greater crime than that of fighting
for liberty.
although we are ncomparably
smaller, we are more patriotic We
have no arms nor have we ammuni-
ton. but we have breasts wherein to
receive bullets. You may use the
above in such manner as your patriot
ism may dictate.

Gas Receivers Hope for Rate
Decision in July.
A Later Date Will Prevent Re-
lief to Consumers.
READY TO SPEND S6OO,OOO
To. Increase Supply to Kansas
and Missouri Towns.
Followed by Half a Million
Yearly for Three Years.

If an early and favorable decision Is
secured in the gas rate case. receivers
for the Kansas Natural expect to spend
100000 this summer in an effort to
provide an ample supply of gas for
Kansas and Missouri towns. This eX-
penditure will be followed by an ap-
preparation of 100000 a year for bet
terInents during the following three
years. Failure to receive a decision
in the case in early July, however, will
mean that gas patrons must wait an
other year for relief.
Those were the statements in To-
peka today by T. S. Salathiel, attorney
for the Kansas Natural Gas company
receivers. Salathiel came to Topeka
to review briefs filed in the gas case
by several towns and distributing
companies. He declared that he would
file necessary answers at once and
would urge an early decision in the
case before the public utilities COM
mission.
Evidence in the gas rate case was
heard in May and early June by the
Kansas utilities commission. AS yet
the commission has not indicated
when decision may be expected.
Salathiel will urge action not later
than the middle of July that the week
of securing additional gas may be
started.
There will be very little chance of
lettering conditions this year unless
there is a decision early in July said
the Independence lawyer. should
we receive a favorable decision, we
expect to spend $500, 900 this year for
betterments and the purchase of extra
gas supply. That will be followed
each year for three years by the ex-
penditure of 100000 for better serv-
ice."
Salathiel believes sufficient gas can
the Kansas Natural pipe lines.
THAT doesn't necessarily mean that
everyone viii have all the gas he
wants." said Salathiel Even in view
of the decreasing gas pressure and
supply, there has been a steadily in
creasing number of patrons. In fact,
we have about 10000 more consum-
gas to all of these patrons must be
carried through the lines that for
merly furnished gas for a far less
number of consumers
Recently it was stated that the KAN
saS utilities commission would discuss
the gas rate question with members
of the Missouri commission when
mem berS of the two boards meet in
Chicago July 6. Both the Kansas and
Missouri commissions will be repre-
sented at the passenger rate case in
Chicago next month. At that time the
be discussed. Whether this discussion
will be followed by an early decision,
has not been indicated. Salathiel,
however, urges that a prompt decision
is the only possible early relief for the
gas consumers. He spent an hour to-
day in conference with members of the
commission and in study of pleadings
filed in the case.
