Demands of Politics Too Much
for New Company.
CAN'T AFFORD 28-CENT RATE
State Insists on Holding Bris-
tow Order of Year Ago.
"GlOriOus Capper Victory
Seems To Be a HROut."

Doherty interests may forfeit depos-
its of $94, 1000 and withdraw from the
purchase of the Kansas Natural Gas
company. That is the prediction of
attorneys in the case, based on the de-
mands of the state utilities commits
sion that the gas company purchasers
provide gas at the % cent rate estab-
iished in December, 1915. Represen-
tatives of the Dohertys deny the claim
of utilities commission members to the
effect that an agreement was made to
furnish gas at the rate prescribed by
the state commission.
Before Judge Booth, in Kansas City
this week. the gas company attorneys
fought with representatives of the
state commission concerning rates and
service. The Dohertys demanded
remunerative rate, while Fred S. Jack
son and H. o. Castor, attorneys for
the commission, insisted that the Bris-
tow rate of a year ago be adopted. 1t
was asserted that representatives of
the Doherty interests agreed to the %
cent rate at a discussion of the gas
sale in Ottawa. Lawyers for the gas
company have denied the alleged
agreement.
They Can't Do 1t.
'In any event the men who are
claimed to have made the agreement,
were not authorized to make such a
statement" said an attorney for the
gas company. ]. c. Mcdowell and Al.

the Doherty holdings. are alleged to
have made the agreement with mem
bers of the state commission That
alleged agreement has caused the
row. said the LAWYER, "and 1 should
not be surprised to see Doherty for
felt the $4,000 he has already paid
down on stock and quit or he can
not furnish gas at % cents and earn
a profit
Members of the state commission
have insisted they will revoke their
approval of the Kansas Natural sale
if the purchasers do not provide rs
cent gas. supplemental investiga-
tons have been promised by Bristow
and commission members, but nothing
in the promise has indicated a ten
dency to recede from the stand of a
year ago and grant an increase in
rates.
Pending further action, considera-
ton of motions to dismiss the Kansas
Natural receivership has been post
poned. Judge Thomas J. Flannelly
was criticised by commission repre-
sentatives for his action. In the fed
Judge Booth stated that Judge Elan
nelly's action was both proper and in
evitable. He said the Doherty inter-
ests were not yet purchasers of the
Kansas Natural and might never con-
troll the property. For that reason,
interests of stockholders were held by
the federal judge to demand that their
legal status should not be disturbed.

COPS MUST NOT DANCE
Action of Wichita Officers Brings New
Rule From Chief.

Wichita, Kan, Dec. NO more
cen the Wichita policeman "shake his
feet at the public dance hall on West
Third street. If he does, Tack" Hay,
chief of the department, says that he
will draw a ten days suspension with
out pay and it all came about over two
officers going to the dance a few
nights ago and Showing off" Just
because they were policemen and wore
guns and stars seems to have given
the law upholders the idea that they
could be "cutups right" Patrons of
the dance complained and Chief Hay
ordered that if his men didn't know
how to dance and behave they should
quit dancing in public halls

PEACE MAKER SHOT IN LEG.
Ranch Foremen Wounded by Laborer
When He Stopped Fight.

Salina, Kan, Dec. 7.-R. S. Ship
ley, a foreman at the Sherman ranch,
was shot and severely wounded in the
right leg at the ranch when he stepped
between two of his men who were
quarrelling and received the bullet
that was intended to end the life OF
the assailant's enemy.
The quarrel between the two men
one a Russian and the other Bohe-
milan, arose last spring, and the racial
enmity added fuel to the fire. The
Bohemian is said to have suffered all
manner of insults from his enemy
even to threats of gun play. Three
times Shipley took a gun from the
man. This time he met his enemy and
used the gun. Three shots were fired
wild and the fourth wounded Ship1ey
when he attempted to save the life
of the Bohemian.

 The ladies of the board of visitors of St. Luke's Home wish to express their gratitude to your paper for the pub licity given us for the Charity Ball which was given on the evening of the Sixth of January. It was an invitation affair and We are assured that the press aided us very materially in mak- ing the affair a success, socially and financially.
