GAS RAISE
Judge FlanneIIy's Order Is Held
in Allegiance.
Operation of Order Hinges on
Mandamus Decision.

Enforcement of Judge Flannelly's
rate order in the gas case will be held
in allegiance pending final decision of
the supreme court in the mandamuS
proceedings. That was the announce
ment of the court late Thursday after
noon, following the conclusion of ar
guments in the case.
1t is probable that the court will
indicate its findings in special
opinion rendered some time in the
next few days In event this opinion
is not handed down before October I,
the new Flannelly orders cannot go
into effect. That was the statement
of the court justices before retiring
from the bench to consider the cita-
lions presented in the gas rate con-
trOversy.
Judge Flannelly's order for thir-
ty cent gas rate is effective October
l. The Kansas Natural Gas company,
it's receivers, had announces
that it would place the new rate in
effect on that date. The courts Or
der, however, means that no increase
in rates will be permitted until de-
cision has been reached and the pub
Tic utilities commissions application
for a writ of mandamus is determined.
Should the writ be granted, the court
will then order the setting aside of
the new rate

yield much under last year, with quality
inferior.
Exports from the United States and Cam

wheat, $4,000 barrels of flour, 1900 bush
els of corn and 81 600 bushels of oats :;
wheat and flour combined, $4,000 bushels.
Estimated shipments of wheat from
Argentina this week are 100000 bushels
compared with 100000 bushels actually
exported last week and 10000 bushels a
year ago. Estimated corn shipments are
5,525 600 bushels.
cable from Russia says: Weather
during the past week has not been favor
able for late harvesting, and movement of
wheat over wide area, as snow and cold

Rome, Sept. 24.-"Even if Bulgaria
has not definitely agreed to side with
the central powers says the Giornale

IF Bulgarian mobilization does not
mean an Immediate invasion of Mace
donna or an attack upon Serbia in the
rear in case of an Austro-German
rush through the Balkans the most
optimistic explanation is that it is an
attempt to blackmaiI the allies to press
Serbia to make further territorial
concessions as the Bulgarian ideal is
to obtain Macedonia and Thrace with
out going to war.
Greek mobilization probably will be
