Kansas Natural and State At

Side by Side to Protect Anti
Free Gas Order.
WAR AGAINST KANSAS CITIES
Resist an Effort to Enforce
Their Old Franchises.
Injustice of 2S-Cent Rate Order
To Be Pointed Out.
WAR AGAINST KANSAS CITIES

Attorneys for the Kansas Natural
Gas company-for whom the utilities
commission and the state administra-
ton hold most genuine hatred-and
attorneys for Joseph L. Bristow and
the utilities commissioning whom
the gas company has displayed con-
tempt-will fight side by side in an
effort to protect the anti-free gas Or
der now up to the federal court. The
unusual display will be made in Kan
sas City Saturday when the gas com
pany and the state commission will re-
sist the efforts of the cities of Topeka,
Atchison, Lawrence and Galena to en-
force free gas franchises.
Notices that the gas case will be
called up Saturday were served today
by attorneys for the gas company The
case will be called before Judge Camp
bell of Oklahoma, sitting specially in
the gas controversy. Judge John c.
Pollock, who holds jurisdiction in the
gas cases. has declined to hear the
controversy
When the Bristow gas ruling was
issued December 10 from the offices of
the utilities commission, IL set aside
the ola franchise agreements for free
gas to cities. Under the old franchises
several Kansas towns received conces-
sions for free gas for municipal build
ings. AS soon as the order became eff
fective Topeka, Atchison, Lawrence
and Galena went into the courts in an
effort to upset the state commission's
order. Cases were filed in the Shaw
nee county district court.
In Federal Court.
Before cases were brought by the
cities however, the gas company had
filed a case in the federal court. These
cities were made party defendants.
Now the gas company and the utili-
ties commission will fight to uphold
the order to set aside free gas agree
ments.
A strange sight will confront follow
ers of the gas cases when they enter
the federal court in Kansas City Sat
urday- They will see Joseph L. Bris-
tow nodding assent to the remarks of
his old political enemy, Chester L
Long, attorney for the gas company
receivers. Fred S. Jackson will agree
with the remarks of John H. Atwood
and the gas receivers and A. E. Helm
will probably sit side by side during
the argument of the case.
That isn't all. The Kansas towns
which have gathered under the pro-
tecting wing of the state commission,
must sit along on the opposite side OF
the counsels' table. These towns will
tell the federal court of the injustice
of the % cent gas rate order, while
Long and Bristow and the utilities
commission will defend the order
The hearing will present the most
startling legal lineup in the five years
of controversy over the gas rates.

English Press RACES Both ways
About Blockade.
Newspapers Censure and Up
hold Sir Ed. Grey's Speech.
US. FRIENDS URGE BLOCKADE?
Daily Graphic Asserts America
Is Disappointed.
Ship Grabbing "FOuls Our Own
Nest" Says Chronicle.

London. Jan. 27-The Daily Graph
ic which heretofore has occupied stu
diously "A neutral position in the
blockade controversy, is not at all
satisfied with Sir Edward Grey's atti-
tude.
"Sir Edward Grey's speech" says
this newspaper today, will be read
with the gravest disappointment. The
country had hoped the government
was preparing for a new departure in
the treatment of enemy trade. All we
learn is that the foreign office is
pleased with what it already has done
and does not propose to do anything
more. Sir Edward Grey acts as if the
maintenance of neutral trading is
more important than the ending of
the war"
The Times says the governments
decision not to establish a blockade
was "a disappointment to our friends
in America and to President Wilson's
government"
War to the Hit.
s'AH these official statements as to
the difficulty dealing with the ques-
tiOns under discussion" says the Daily
Mail. go to show that Sir Edward
Grey is aware that the situation is not
as it should be. Neither is Lord Lans-
downe satisfied. Both tell US they are
doing their best.
What the country demands is that
cut off from the Germans. The harp
ing on the difficulties by the minister
is not a good sign.
WARS are not won by men whose
minds are occupied with such qualms.
Wars are won by men who refuse to
be bound by judicial niceties-who are
determined to stick at nothing in or
der to win"
The Daily Chronicle assumes a diff
ferent attitude.
Defend Grey.
Sir Edward Grey" says the Chron-
icle, completed the demolition of the
mares nest and destroyed the mis-
chievous and disgraceful legend that
the foreign office was hampering the
navys work. The recent malicious at
tacks on the foreign offices represent
a policy of fouling our own nest which
will cost us very dear if it is per-
sisted in"
The Daily News says in a similar
vein:
"Sir Edward Greys reply to his at
tackers was final and crushing. The
latter part of his speech took the form
of a great and impressive address to
the neutral world, justifying our
blockade, by the laws of war and prec-
edents past-most of all presidents
established by the United States.
Against the protest of our legitimate
exercise of our sea power, Sir Edward
Grey set before the neutral world the
dark story of German murder and
piracy. viii the neutral world see the
difference between murder and COM
mercial Inconvenience? We hope the
answer will put human life above the
calculations of the counting house"

WAR Goes ON
Hayden Continues to Exchange
PleaSantries With Governor.
Says State Has Been DiIatOry
in Luten Bridge Matter.

Sure, [ knew the Newton suit re-
lat1ng to the Luten bridge patents is
two years DID," said George Hayden,
city attorney, this morning while dis
cuss1ng Governor Capper's newspaper
statement And furthermore, L know
that If the governor and his legal de-
partment were as anxious to test the
Luten patents as they have indicated
in the newspapers it would not have
been necessary for Judge Pollock to
in favor of Luten unless they got busy
and took an interest in the case"
Hayden charges that the state has
been dilatory in its legal tactics in
connection with the Luten litigation,
except in the newspapers. Besides
that, he holds that the Newton case
referred to by the governor will not
help materially in the case of Topeka
even if it is brought to a decision by
the state officials before the Luten
patents run out, which is thirteen
years.
In his statement Governor Capper
suggested that Mr.. Hayden is about
two years behind the times because of
a lack of knowledge about the New
ton case which is supposed to settle
some of the Luten patents He sug-
gests that some kindly disposed per-
son tell Hayden about this case
The trouble between the governor
and George Hayden is due to the fact
lHdl I1dSden IOlIOWe0 the precedent
established by the governor and gave
his letter to the newspapers before
the governor received it. Hence the
governor did not know that Hayden
had covered the Newton matter in
his letter However, Hayden holds
that the Newton suit does not cover
the ground that even when it is de-
termined it will not settle the legality
of Luten bridge patents.
The Newton Case.
The Newton action referred to was
brought by Daniel B. Luten, holder of
numerous concrete bridge patents,
against the city of Newton and w. s.
Gearhart, state engineer. Gearhart
drew the plans for the bridge and in
doing so infringed upon six of the Lut-
en- patents, according to the conten-

PASSES Up HONOR
p. E. Laughlin Declines Ameri-
can Defense Position.
Assistant State Bank Commits
siOner Opposed to Policy.

One Kansas man-P. E. Laughlin,
assistant state bank commissioner and
a Democrat-today declined a place on
the national committee of the Ameri-
can Defense society. Laughlin declined
the appointment, stating he was op-
posed to the policies of the organiza-
ton.
Prominent in the national organiza-
ton of the defense society are Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Charles ]. Bonaparte,
Truman II. Newbury. Perry Belmont,
Henry B. JOY, David Jayne Hill and
William F. McCombs. A telegram in
viting Laughlin to accept a place on
the national committee of the league
was received today from Cushing Stet-
son, secretary of the board of trustees.
The league has for its purpose the
creation of instruction camps and an
schools and establishment of a citizen
soldiery. The organization is national
in its character
The telegram from Stetson today
also suggested that Laughlin might Sc
cure a life membership in the league
for S10O-Or such amount as he de-
sired to contribute. Neither offer,
however, appealed to the assistant state
bank commissioner.
Il must advise Laughlin wrote.

ARE GIRLS?
Forty Topeka Households
After White Maids.
One Woman Even Offers a
Private Bath.

Forty jobs await competent white
girls at the Y. W. c. A.
Miss Clare Armstrong, the girls
work secretary, has stacks of cards
from women who are anxious to Sc
cure hired girls. Different PROPOSE
a private bath with her maids room
and plenty of time off duty. A mu-
stefan wants a woman to clean house
in exchange for music lessons to her
children.
The big trouble with the hired girl
is her incompetency, according to Miss
Armstrong. Some of this incompe-
tency is caused by the employers who
will not pay any more for trained
help than for a raw girl, she says.
This naturally takes the enthusiasm
out of the employee who does not feel
obligated to her employer TO try to
learn anything.
Another point against the employer,
according to Miss Armstrong, is the
frequency with which the maid is Civ
en- the coolest, darkest room in the
house, 10 to 4 hours work a day for
seven days a week, and expected to be
satisfied with a SIS salary Most of
them get three hours off some one aft
ernoon.
When mistresses train girls to pro-
ficiency, the maids often show ingrati-
tude and quit without the slightest
hesitation, says Miss Armstrong. Many
things hired girl does are not salts
factory to the lady of the house.
These reasons are the principal
ones why 1 have 40 jobs to fill Miss
Armstrong stated. They do not so
particularly apply to Topeka as to the
sirl-in-the-hom problem every
where
The girls work secretary has filled
100 positions or more since she came
to Topeka last October.

some" says Hayden in the letter to
Governor Capper, will not settle the
material question of the legality of the
Luten patents.
But, my dear governor. If the New
ton suit is of the Importance that your
letter suggests, why. L ask you, has
the state been so dilatory?
do you know that it has been over
two years since this suit was brought,
and that the states answer that
should have been filed within thirty
days, was not filed for nearly year,
and that on December 6, 1914, the
answer certain questions in this suit?
PolIock's Ultimat:lm.
But they did not comply with the
order of the court and at the last sit
ting of the federal court at Kansas
City Judge Pollock ordered your legal
department to answer these questions
and gave them twenty days in which
to do it, and told your legal depart
ment that if they did not come in and
answer these questions and show an
interest in the case, he would issue a
decree to Mr.. Luton
You see, my dear governor, in re-
gard to the case of Luten VS.. the City
of Newton and w. S. Gearhart, your
legal department appears far more aS-
gressive and fierce in the headlines
of the newspapers than their record in
this case will justify. I ask you, gov
ernor if the Newton case is important,
to urge your legal department to have
them try this case before the limita-
tons run out on all of Mr.. Luten's
patents And I understand that these
patents run for about thirteen years -
