WANTS WATER
FRANCHISE
Joplin Gentleman Urging City
to Make Grant but Public
Strongly Opposes It.

Herbert Wheeler, the gentle
man who is seeking 4 franchise
for the installation Of . water
plant in Baxter Springs, was over
from Joplin Sunday and spent
the afternoon comforting with
Mayor Willard and the city coun-
ell.
What decision, II any, the gov
erning body of our city came to
has not been given ont. II was
stated by one of the number,
however, that the franchise had
not yet been promised to Mr..
Wheeler. t
Public sentiment appears to be
very strongly against giving the
franchise to any private corpora
tion except in case the present
operating company should decide
to enlarge to meet the needs.
All agree that the city needs
better and more adequate service
and must have 1t before another
| year rolls around but the prevail
ing opinion seems to be that the
city should put in its own water
plant and own 1t, instead of pay
ing big prices for twenty years
or more and at the end have
nothing to show for the money.
A big majority by far of thu
water plants of Kansas are muni'
cipally owned and only in rar'
cases have any proven nnproft
ably or unsatisfactory. If
private plant can operate at ;
kprofit, 90 can a city. The prof
can either be put into cheaper
water for the consumer or re
turned to the city treasury.

With Moth Balls
in the Gasoline.

Lawrence, Nov. 14.-How much
further will an automobile 60
with moth balls in the gasoline
than without moth balls in the
gasoline? That indirect question
is being asked the department OF
chemistry in the University of
Kansas by citizens and firms in
different parts of the state who
are submitting for analysis var
ious preparations said to give
more mileags to gasoline as
automobile fuel.
One class of these preparations
has been found to consist OF
usphthaline. Naphthaline In its
commonly known form in nothing
more or less than moth balls. In
it's form for automobile use It
appears as a powder, colored to
give a different appearance, or
perfumed with an aromatic oil to
kill the old moth ball odor, in
the form of a lozengs, in capsules
or dissolved in kerosene or gas0.
line
Whether or not naphthaline
will give more power to the gaso-
line the chemists experiments
have not gone far enough to de-
termiue' One chemist figured,
however, six cents worth oi
naphthaline in moth ball form
would give the same results al
s. so worth of naphthaline ID
one of the common preparations
for use in automobiles tanks,
used in like proportions. There
apparently is no injurious effect
from the use Of uaphthaline ii
motors. 1t apparently does give
an extra kick to the gasoline
but the chemists believe most o.
the extra mileage comes from
decreasing the gasoline feed
when using these preparations
! Directions with preparations Say
the gasoline feed should be Gu
down. AS most motorists probab
ly feed to literally, this decrease
in gasoline makes far more per
feet combustion in the cylinders
reduce carbon deposits and natur
ally gives more mileage to tn
gasoline.
Other preparations to increas'
gasoline efficiency consists o
kerosene, gasoline or high grad
lubricating oil with a little ethe
or picric acid. The ether ant
picric acid gives an extra kicl
while the lubrica ting oil haviuI
an extremely high boiling point
aids in efficiently BY its lubricat
ing properties. In old 2scycl
engines lubricatiug oil was inrfo
duced into the cylinder with tn
gasoline. bat in the modern =
clcle motors this system of oilipI
was abandoned.

atoms is purely fake and is mad

loan associations have wired Cover
nor Manning, asking him to call an
extra session Of the Legislature to
repeal the anti-compact bill, the en-
actment Of which, they claim, is de-

INTERVENTION POSSIBILITIES.
villa Outrage In New Mexico Takes
on Last Straw" Aspects.

Washington, March 9.-Washing-
ton stands squarely behind Col. Slo-
cum in sending cavalry into Mexico
in pursuit Of Francisco Villa and his
band OF outlaws who raided Column
bus. N. NJ, to-day, numbering Ameri-
can soldiers and citizens and firing
the town.
Formal request for permission to
send American troops across the bor-
der to hunt down Villa and his ban
dits who raided Columbus, n. NJ,
early to-day has been made to Gen.
Carranza by Brig. Gen. Pershing at
El Paso, through Amdreas Garcia,
CarranZa consul there.
While a reply from Carranza is
awaited, five troops Of the 18th Cav
airy are across the border under or
ders from their commander, Col
Slocum, not to go more than two
miles into the interior.
Commanded by villa.
A dispatch from Gen. Pershing,
III "Ou " IhC WAL bcpdI
late to-day through Gen. Funston,
stated definitely that the Mexican
raiders were commanded by Villa
personally. Gen. Pershing's report
says:
"Slocum reports by telephone and
asks me to repeat that Villa himself
led the charge through camp with a
force estimated at from 500 to 1000
men. Eleven Mexioans were killed
in camp and % altogether so far"
Intervention Predicted.
Faced by new crisis in Mexican
affairs by the Columbus massacre,
administration officials admitted that
President Wilson might find it diff
cult to refrain longer from actual in
reference.
What the dministration leaders
who favor watchful waiting course
fear most Is an outbreak in Congress
with it's effect upon the country
The Senate particularly, which con-
tains many vigorous critics Of the
administration Mexican policy, has
just settled down from the furry
over the Cusi massacre Of several
weeks ago.
At the State Department it was
said that the situation was every Sc
rious," but that no announcement of
what action could be taken would be
made until an official investigat tion
was concluded.
The department is understood to
have begun the draft Of a mcmoran-
dunn to Gen. Carranza, based on the
report Of Gen. Funston.
At the White House the only word
given out was that steps would be
taken to punish the Villa bandits,
but it was not indicated whether
Gen. CarranZa would be called upon
to do SO or whether American troops
would be sent over the line.
News Almost Incredible.
The news OF the raid spread over
the Capitol with startling effect
Senator Stone. chairman OF the for
eign relations committee, also got in
communication with the State De-
partment and asked Senator Fall for
a conference
Senator Robinson, OF Arkansas,
Democrat. said:
"That means Intervention. don't
see what else can be done"
Senator Tilnman declared the
news was almost Incredible.
There never has been a President
who tried SO hard to keep out of war
as President Wilson," he said, "but
if this is true, ii looks as if Gen
Funston would have to get busy at
once"
