agreement as basis for further suits
in the state courts or for other pur-
poses.
The suit lay dormant IN the federal
courts in Topeka for years Last year
the Berry administrators came to To-
peka and retained Fred Robertson,
United States district attorney, and
General L. w. Colby of Peatrice, Neb.,
to defend them in the Injunction suit
Hearing of the suit Ill equity was
held January l 5 before Judge Pollock
in Topeka with Robertson and Colby,
attorneys for the Berry administra-
tors and Charles Blood Smith, repre-
Sentlng Dewey. Robertson and Colby
contended that whether or not the at
torney who signed the stipulation of
agreement had Dewey's authority, the
federal courts had no right to con-
flict in jurisdiction with state courts.
In Judge Pollock's opinion, Robert
son and Colby won their point.
Judge Pollock gives II as his opin-
ion that there should be no conflict in
jurisdiction in the courts of the coun-
try.
Hearing of the suit for $4,000 for
the death of B. B. Berry-the fourth
damage suit. filed-will be held at
Goodland, Kan, in the state court

county last December, provided the
increased revenue now asked for is au-
thoriZed.
These and many other miscellaneous
facts, most of which are clearly set
forth in the report of the agreement
made before Judge Flannelley, were
rehearsed today, Auditor Hayes re-
tanning the witness stand throughout
the morning. The utilities commission
has not yet directed it's attention to a
consideration of the real merits of the
present claim for increased rates but
has been clearing the underbrush or
ancient history in the gas business
preparatory to the real work OF the
hearing.
Most of the examination today was
conducted by Chairman ]. L. Bristow.
The new schedule of rates for nat
ural gas to consumers as proposed by
the receivers for the Kansas Natural
Gas company was the main feature of
Thursday afternoons session of the
hearing before the public utilities
commission on the application for
general increase order. The after
moons session was consumed in re-
viewing the financial history of the
company for the information Of
Chairman ]. L. Bristow of the COM
mission.
Victor Hayes, auditor of the Kan
sas Natural Gas company, introduced
a quantity of data bearing upon the
general gas production situation in an
important way. The most prosperous
year in the history of the company, he
said, had been 1910, when it handled
80 billion cubic feet of gas. This vol
ume has been reduced until last year
but 1 s billion feet were sold. The dis
lance of piping has increased from
ITO miles a few years ago to $50 miles
at present. The troubles of the Kan
sas Natural, said Auditor Hayes, were
largely due to the faith of the pro-
motors of the company that the Kan
sas gas fields would continue produc-
ing for many years at their original
volume. This belief was dispelled
within two years, when the first evil
dences of failure became apparent.
Proposed Rate Schedule.
7. S. Salathiel, attorney for the state
receivers, submitted schedule of
joint rates for the Kansas Natural and
the local distributing companies,
which is said to meet with the APP
prevail of the representatives of a ma
jority of the cities and with the local
distributing companies. The sched-
ule shows the present rate charged in
the various cities and the proposed in
crease and also shows the present
minimum charge per month. if any,
and the proposed minimum. This is
the schedule as presented to the utili-
ties commission:
