known to members of the commission
and was exploited in an effort to dis
credit the management of the giant
gas company.
Lawyers in the gas case checked
the Overfield fee squarely up to the
commission today by asserting that
the $25,00O was for use by the Mont
gomery county senator in the purchase
Of new gas supplies Further, it was
frankly claimed that the use of the
money was matter of common
knowledge among persons in touch
with the gas company'S affairs. The
lawyers discussed the matter rather
feelingly and intimated strongly that
the testimony concerning the money
paid to Overfie1d was given wide pub
licity in an effort to arouse criticism
against the method of handling the
companys affairs
"Prejudice Case"-StOne.
"The money never went to Senator
Overfield personally and that fact was
well known" declared Robert Stone
during the noon recess. Il cannot
understand why the matter was
prejudice the case. The money was
paid to Senator Overfield TO be used
in the purchase of more gas and all
persons in touch with the case knew
it,
The Overfield fee was mentioned in
a report published two months ago,
which set forth some of the expendi-
lures of the gas company. On the
witness stand last week Auditor Hays,
of the gas company, said the money
had been paid to Senator Overf1eld
under a court order, but he did not
know the manner in which it was
used.
Case on Today.
Five hours were set aside today by
the public utilities commission to hear
arguments in the final chapter of the
gas rate case Two hours and half
was allotted to the attorneys for the
Kansas Natural receivers and an equal
amount of time to attorneys for the
commission.
Evidence in the rehearing of the
gas case was submitted last week
Arguments in the case were suspend
ed pending the commissions invest
igation of the Union Pacific wreck at
Randolph. Members of the commits
sion today declined to predict the date
for final order in the case, although
there is a probability that a decision
may be rendered in the next couple of
weeks.
Recently the supreme court held
that the utilities commission had TAX
en- no action in the gas rate case when
it issued a tentative order for IS cent
gas in July.
The gas company receivers then
moved for a rehearing of the case and
filed a petition asking for a 81 cent
gas rate. Three days were devoted
to the taking of testimony last week
and much new evidence was offered
by the gas company. The commission
declined to receive the testimony be-
fore Judge Flannelly without an op-
portunity to cross examine the wit
nesses For that reason a number of
witnesses were called to Topeka to
testify concerning the affairs of the

ACCUSES HTS WIFE
Aged Man Says She Once Ran
DisOrderly House.
Wants Marriage to Former Mrs.
Kelley Annulled.

A. L. Entsminger, 80 years old, so
feeble that he had to use crutch and
canetO walk from the counSels table to
the witness chair, made sensational
allegations in the district court this
morning against his wife, Mrs. Emma
Entsminger, formerly Mrs. Emma
Kelley, who appears to. be between so
and 20 years old.
Entsminger, who launched his
fourth boat of matrimony November
9, 1914, when he married Mrs. Kelley
wants an annulment of the marriage
. and alleges that he found out after
he married her that she at one time
run disorderly houses in the city.
He made the allegations in his orig
inal petition filed about two months
ago. Mrs. Entsminger filed answer
and cross petition wherein she claimed
Entsminger promised to give her
deed to property which he owned at
S29 Monroe street a year after the
wedding if she would marry him. She
also claimed that EntSminger repre-
sented to be worth $4,000. She de-
MES the allegations as to her char
acter made by the plaintiff
Joe Ross, former chief of police:
Bert Richardson, patrol driver; Tim
Donovan, former chief of police, and
now a detective, former Chief of Po-
lice Eaton and others testified this
morning that Mrs. Kelley has not been
wholly unknown to the police in the
last 20 years.
Following testimony this morning,
the case was taken up again this
afternoon. The hearing for annul-
ment is being held before Judge Dana.

ENGLAND SEEKING PEACE?
ASQUITH TO MAKE REPLY

London, Oct. 27.-When Premier
ASquith returns to the house of
commons tomorrow he will be
asked by Amman Bryce whether un-
official exchanges of views have
been carried on between Berlin and
London with the possible object of
the completion of an early peace
and whether inquiries of similar
nature have been made by official
representatives of any neutral
power.
Mr.. ASquith also will be asked
whether he still adheres to the de-
claration in his GuildhaH speech
that Great Britain should not
sheath her sword until 1.-THE free
dom of Europe is secured
Another of the many questions to
be addressed to the premier is
whether, s'in view of the defiance
of International law by the German
emperor in ordering wholesale de-
struction of private property of civ
ilians in this country by Zeppelins,
the government will take steps to
trace and sequestrate private Sc
curities in England of the German
empire and rulers of German states
and hold them as security for pres
ent and future damage caused by
air raids.''

FOOLED THE OFFICIALS
New Haven Desired Minority Stock of
Steamship Line.

New York, Oct. 27.-When Charles
S. -Mellen resumed the. stand today in
the trial of the eleven former directors
of the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroad under the Sherman anti
trust law, Attorney Frank Swacker
for the government spread before the
jury written testimony to prove that
the New Haven directors took action
to deceive the authorities of MaSSa-
chusetts at a time when it was seek
ing to acquire the minority stock of
the Old Colony Steamship company
back in 1894.
The government alleged that the
steamboat stock acquired was tenn
porarily transferred to Drexel, Nor
gan & Co., j. P. Morgan's Philadel-
phia house, until legal authority had
been obtained emitting the New Haven
to hold it. Later minutes indicated
that Drexel, Morgan & Co. gave their
note for the stock for 100000 and
that the note was exchanged for the
stock after the Massachusetts legis-
lature had made it possible for the
New Haven legally to hold it.

RAISE Gas RATE
Commercial Club Committee i'm
Favor of Hiking Price.
Utilities Commission May Be
Asked to Grant Raise.

That the gas consumers of Topeka
are in favor of the public utilities
commission granting the Kansas Nat
ural gas company a remunerative rate
for furnishing gas was the sentiment
at the meeting of the state and nation
al legislative committees held this
noon at the Commercial club.
E. H. Hogueland, Scott Hopkins, J.
T. Gray, Horace Hall, and w W.
Webb were appointed as a committee
to draft a resolution expressing the
sentiment of the committee This
committee will report its findings at a
meeting next Saturday and on Monday
the entire membership of the Com
mercia1 club, as representative of the
business interests of Topeka will be
asked to vote on the resolution
1t was the consensus of opinion at
the meeting this noon that the con-
sumner wants gas and that he would
fuel. All of the members of the com
mitiee expressed their opinions along
this line and stated frankly that they
thought the gas company should have
q remunerative rate and that the pub
lie utilities commission should see that
this rate is granted.
When the Commercial club as a
body takes action on this question
next Monday, an effort will be made
to get a general expression of public
opinion as to the rate consumers
would be willing to pay. It is be-
lieved generally that the consumers
want gas and that they would rather
pay an increased rate for natural gas
than pay something like a dollar a
thousand feet for artificial gas.

WhitlOck Says Statements

German Authorities Broke No
Promises Made to Him.

Berlin, Oct. 27.-The Overseas News
agency today gave out a statement
regarding the case of Miss Edith
Cavell, the English nurse, who was
executed recently in Belgium at the
outset of which it declares that "the
United States minister in Brussels,
Brand Whitlock, states that the Brit
ish publications in regard to the
Cavell case are untrue so far as he
is concerned"
THE British government says the
Overseas statement. published cor
reSpOndence between the American le-
cation in Brussels and the German
authorities there in the Cavell case,
the correspondence having been put
at the disposal of the British govern
ment by the United States ambassa-
dor in London.
The principal facts are inexactly
represented, especially the statement
making it appear as if the German
authorities by vain promises had put
off the minister in order to conceal
the sentence by which means he was
robbed of the possibility of interven-
tion on behalf of Miss Caveu, the
sentence being hastily executed in the
meantime
Further, Sir Edward Grey stated
that the German authorities had not
kept the promise given to the Anneri-
can minister to inform him about the
course of the proceedings. The Ger
man authorities never gave such
promise. this being admitted by the
United States minister il Brussels.
