CAPPER SAYS TAKE HIM
Governor Grants Requisition For a

Governor Capper today granted a
requisition for the return of H. G.
Whitteck of Great Bend to Charleston,
S. c., where he is wanted on a for
gerry charge. Sheriff Leonard of
Charleston county, appeared before
the governor today to request the
granting of the parole.
According to the statement made by
Leonard to the governor, Whitteck is
charged with the forgery CT a number
of Sea board Airline railway checks
He was tracked to Kansas through
correspondence with friends and was
recently located at Great Bend. Since
coming to Kansas, it is asserted that
Whitteck has been working in the
western wheat fields. He offered to
return TO South Carolina without
requisition, but the southern officials
refused to take a chance of such a
long trip without proper legal author

his contract and showed that the con-
tract stated he should be paid in script
was his request granted. There is
clause to this effect in practically all
city contracts, but heretofore it has
never been considered anything more
than bit of legal phraseology- The
custom has been for the contractor
to take his monthly estimate to any
of the banks in the city and receive
cash for the full amount.
II can see no difference between the
estimate and script said w. G.
Tandy. The estimates certify that
certain amount is due the contractor
and this is all the script does. Neither
the script nor the estimates upon
which the script is issued bears any
interest. This is my ninth year as a
city official and it is the first time In
my experience that any person pre-
ferred script to money. 1 asked Mr.
Dill why he wanted script, but the
only explanation he gave was that he
had made ARRANGEMENTS with bank
which wanted the script"

NO MORE GAS
IN PROSPECT
Attorneys for the State Public
Utilities Commission
Open Fire on Order Issued by
Judge Flannelly.
MAKE A MOTION TO QUASH
Arguments Will Be Heard in
Independence Aug. z.
Outlook for Many More Months
of Litigation Is Good.

Attorneys for the public utilities
commission today made their first
formal attack on the order of judge
ElannelIy. of Independence, prevent
ing adoption of the commissions new
rate schedules The attack came In
the form of a motion to quash. Should
the court grant the motion, 1t means
that Judge Flannelly's order Will be
retected and the trivial increase IN
1as rates. approved by the commits
sion will become effective when APP
proved by the Missouri commission.
The motion filed in independence
today by attorneys for the Kansas
commission is the first of a series OF
attacks on the Montgomery county
co1rt's order. Should Judge F1an-
nelly overrule the motion to quash the
restraining order, the state commas
sion will then raise a question as 10
the courts jurisdiction in the case
Areumenss on the motion filed on be-
half of the Kansas commission Will
be heard in Independence August z.
Judge A E Helm, H. o. Castor
and Fred S. Jackson, attorneys for
the Kansas utilities commissions APP
peared in the case They will attack
the receivers attack on the recent
gas order. After the commission had
issued a tentative order in the gas
case. receivers for the Kansas Natural
refused % proceed with bettermentS
or extensions or to seek an increased
gas supply. They sought reneI
through a restraining order from the
Montgomery county court and now
seek 20 ha re the restraining order is
sued IN the form of permanent in
junction. Should they win their point,
it means that the gas company Will
make no effort to get more gas and
will tie up proceedings pending a tur-
thor rate increase application.
After the state commission had Is
sued It's order, creditors for the Kan
sas Natural refused to approve the
expenditure of q dollar for better
ments under the commissions order
1t was flatly stated that there would
be no increased gas supply unless
more favorable order were issued
The litigation now concerns the adop-
ton of the commissions order
Members of the utilities commission
have started for the summer resorts
on their annual vacations. They do
not expect to return to Topeka until
early in September. In the meantime
the regular and special attorneys on
the states pay roll will argue the
legal points in the controversy. Also
the gas company will continue to stand
pat and refuse to seek new gas sup
plies until compelled to do so under a
positive order from the courts. 1t is
probable that the controversy which
received a new start in Independence
today will occupy the attention of the
courts for several months.

FRENCHMEN UNITED
Great Patriotic Demonstration by
Chamber of Deputies.

Paris, Aug. 5.-The first meeting
of the chamber of deputies, after the
anniversary of the beginning of the
war, and following the establishment
of the union of all political parties in
France to endure so long as the war
lasts, was held today. The session
was marked by extraordinary de-
monstrationS Of patriotism, which was
a strong indication of the unanimity
of all Frenchman of every faith and
shade of political belief.
Paul Des Chanel, president of the
chamber, opened the session with an
eloquent speech which was apparently
intended to be a reply to the anniver-
sary manifesto of the German en-
peror.
NJ. Des Chanel said year had pass
ed since the enemy of France, even be-
fore declaring war;, had violated
French territory. This war has been
so full of a glory so pure he declar-
ed, that it will forever illumine the
human race. 1t has been a year in
which France, the France of Joan of
Arc, has risen if possible to even
greater heights"

RAMSEY HEARD FROM
Absent Paving Contractor Writes to
the Commissioners.

HAD a communication proposing to
sell the city a gold brick been read
by the city clerk at a meeting of the
city commission today instead of a
letter from ]. r. Ramsey, contractor,
VINO left the city unexpectedly 1eav-
ing a large paving contract penu1ng,
the members of the city commission
would not have acted more wary
Inc letter was an assignment OF all
sums due or to be due Ramsey from
the city to the Watkins National bank
of Lawrence to which Ramsey said
IN the letter he is indebted. The let
ter was addressed to the city clerk.
The mayor and members of the city
commission declined to take any ac
ton whatever, fearing that the city
might become involved in some legal
these entanglements might be, nor
whether there were any, and being
satisfied with present arrangements
no chances were taken.
The communication was not even
filed and care was taken that no rec
ORD be made of it's having been re-
ceived. Unofficially Miss Eta Cove1,
city clerk, was given to understand
that 1T would be perfectly all right
for her to forget she had ever re
ceived a letter from Ramsey After
RamseyS disappearance plan was
agreed upon by RamSeyS creditors
whereby his contracts would be car
ried out This agreement was made
between contractors interested with
Ramsey, and the Watkins bank. A
Lawrence lawyer, given power of at
torney by Ramsey, agreed to pay the
contractors with money he received
from the city for Ramsey. The letter
received today did not seem to con-
form with this plan.
