NO RECEIVERS NEEDED
State May Attempt to Have the Kan
sas Natural Gas Company Prop
erty Restored to Its Owners.

The state may this week take steps
to dissolve the Kansas Natural Gas
company receivership, according to
adviceS of state officials. A confer
ence will be held Tuesday when final
action will be taken Governor Cap
per, S. M. Brewster, attorney general,
and Joseph L. Bristow, the public
utilities commission, will attend the
conference to discuss plans
In his opinion last week, Brewster
asserted that the gas company re-
ownership was unwarranted and
should be dissolved. 1t is now prob
able that the state will ask Judge
1Slannellys of Montgomery county to
set aside the former order and dis
Charge the men now in charge of the
Aas company affairs. 81 If Judge Elan
nelly should refuse to discharge the
receivers, the case may then be taken
into the supreme court.

SLASHED ALLIES



Bulgarian troops The French operat-
forced back against the Vardar and
then battered southwark toward the
border Their furious resistance caused
the Rulgars enormous losses
After beating back a wave of at
lacking Bulgars that rolled up against
their line all day Saturday, the British,
north of Lake Dorian were forced to
fall back to their second line They
rallied and were holding up the Bull
gar advance in a violent struggle when
the last information was received at
SaIonika. They were greatly outnum-
bered however, and their retreat to
ter of hours.
BuIgars Smash Hard.
AS on Thursday and Friday. the
British were subjected to the heaviest
assaults in Saturdays fighting The
BulgarS made repeared attacks in at
tenpts to break the British line and
surround small attachments Two as
saults against the British front cost
the attacking forces 5000 men in
killed and wounded.
A grand assault was ordered by the
Bulgarian commander when the first
charge had been hurled back. The
Bu1gars advanced through a thick fog
in dense formation to within SEQ yards
of the British trenches. British ma
chine guns and rifles suddenly swept
their front with frightful fire. Those
who escaped the first hail of bullets
ran swiftly to within 20 yards of the
British trenches. A second shower of
bullets moved them down by the hun
dreds. The survivors broke and fled.
The French retreat became hurried
on Saturday, according to reports
reaching here. By successful flank
ing movements the Bulgars forced the
French to evacuate strong positions
among the hills. Bulgarian artillery
then occupied these points of vantage
and wrecked the second line position
the French had hastily prepared.
Little Reported From West.
Paris, Dec. 13.-The announcement
from the war office this afternoon
says:
I'm the Champagne. to the south of
the knoll at Lemesnil, the Germans
exploded a mine before one of our
trenches. We occupied the crater.
There were no important develop
ments on the rest of the 'front.'
BerIin's Official Report.
Berlin, Dec. 13-Aside from a few
small enga gementS and the capture of
several hundred more Serbians, Sun
day passed quietly on the various
German fronts.
The report from the WEI office to-
day says that at Ipek, Montenegro.
twelve cannon which had been buried
by the Serbians were discovered. The
army of General Won Koevess took 500
prisoners. During the last few days,
more than one thousand Serbians,
whose retreat was cut off, were taken.
On the eastern front, the Russians
took an unimportant position. There
were skirE1isheS among advanced
posts at several places. A Russian at
tack near Vulka south of Vygonov-
skoye Lake, failed. The attackers lost

is the big question to be faced in the
final settlement of the fight over pas
senger rates"
Effective First of Year.
The new rates may become effective
at any time after December 29- Filing
of a five days notice with the COM
nerce commission is all that is now
necessary to adopt the rate, the Wash
ington ruling recites.
A majority of the rate increases
proposed by the railroads a year ago.
were not justified, the commerce COM
mission held. 1t found, however, that
smaller general increases were war
ranted in view of existing conditions
Under the statement that the high cost
of living had hit the railroads and
they had suffered heavy expenses be-
cause of adverse state and federal
legislation, the commission granted
numerous increases in Interstate fares.
Rates Approved.
The new rates as approved by the
commission are:
Two and four-tenths cents in Illi-
nois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Mime
sofa, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri,
north of the Missouri river, and in
Kansas, on the Union Pacific main
line and north of it.
Two and six-tenths cents in Mis-
souri,, south of the Missouri river,
and in Kansas. south of the Union
Two and one-quarter cents a mile
for mileage tickets in territory
north of the Missouri river in Mis-
souri, and on the north of the Union
Pacific in Kansas.
Two and one-half cents a mile for
mileage tickets in territory south
of the Missouri river in Missouri
and the Union Pacific in Kansas.

STOP THEIR MAKING
Direct Community Effort n cessary
to Prevent Criminal Ac.s, Says
Charles NJ. Harger.

Abilene, Kan, Dec. 13.-"The re-
duction of crime in Kansas will come
through direct community effort and
not alone through state exertion for
the inmates of institutions said
Charles NJ. Harger in an address at
the Lutheran church last night. He
occupied the pulpit in the absence of
the pastor. I'VE are spending half
a million dollars a year trying to re-
make and punish individuals but only
a few thousands trying to stop the
making of criminals With the ban
ishment of the saloon, equal suffrage
and our high level of prosperity Kan
sas offers the greatest opportunity of
any state in the Union for working
out plans for the -1essening of crime.
Half the inmates of our correc-
tional institutions would not be use

ment."

MUST WASH The DISHES
Another Drastic Order Goes Out to
the Hotels and Restaurants
of the State.

Kansas restaurant and hotel pro-
prietors must see that their dishes
and silverware are thoroughly cleans
ed before they are placed before a
patron, according to an order from
L. A Congdon, state hotel inspector
and head of the department of food
and drugs
Recent experiments in the labora-
tories of the Indiana state board of
health have demonstrated, Mr.. Cong
don pointed out today, that diphtheria
and spinal meningitis have been
spread by dirty silverware. In view
of the large number of cases of the
former disease now eXtant in Kansas,
Mr.. Congdon said, it has been felt that

but to end the strife; not to intrude

THE love of country for which

further slaughter and the civilization
of the world from anarchy and ruin
Has not war been tried enough in
sixteen months of fighting? Is it not

..Intrastate Rate More''-WaIker.
while the decision of the interstate
commerce commission was unsatisfac-
tory. in that it did not provide for in
creases as large as those to which
railroads felt they were entitled, yet it
will mean that rates between points
in Kansas and rates between points in
Kansas and outside thereof must be
fixed on the same basis said Paul
Walker, general attorney of the Rock
Island, IN Topeka today. THE So
called Shreveport principle is but the
statement that interstate passen gers
need not, under the same circum-
stances and conditions, pay higher
rates than are charged to state pas
sengers for similar service AS an il
lustration, the rate from Liberal, Kan.
to Kansas City, Kan, at cents a
mile is $500; when the recent order
of the interstate commerce commits
Liberal. Kan. to the Union Station in
Kansas City. Mo-, but a few yards be

will be 5000.

sion has held that the higher rate is
reasonable, and 1t is manffestly unfair
so far as the interstate passenger is
concerned to permit the state passen-
ger, although he may be transported
in the same train and occupy the same
seat. to ri de at a considerably less
charge. In such a situation 1T is the
interstate rate taht must govern and
the discrimination is to be removed
by increasing the state rate. In the
Shreveport case, Mr.. Justice Hughes
said:
r. Wherever the interstate and in
trastate transactions of carriers are
so related that the government of one
involves the control of the other, it is
congress, and not the state, that is en-
titled to prescribe the final and domi-
nant rule, for otherwise congress
would be denied the exercise of it's
constitutional authority and the state,
and not the nation, would be supreme
within the national field
with respect to the merits of the
respective controversies it is well es-
.tablished, for numerous reasons, that
interstate business is more renunera-
tive, and is conducted at a less cost
than state business, and if in the state
of Kansas the railroads are entitled to
charge 90 cents per passenger mile
for hauling interstate passengers, il
must follow as a matter of course that
2 cents per mile for transporting state
passengers is Inadequate
