naval rank and relative power among
the great nations. I earnestly advise
that the congress now provide four
battleships of the most advanced type.
cannot too emphatically say that this
is measure of peace and not of war.
I can conceive of no circumstances
under which this republic would enter
into an aggressive war, most certainly.
under no circumstances would it enter
into an aggressive war to extend its
territory or in any other manner seek
material ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
Rely on Peace?
1T is idle to assume, and from the
standpoint of national interest and
honor it is mischievous folly for any
statesman to assume, that this world
has yet reached the stage or has come
within measurable distance of the
stage, when a proud nation, jealous of
it's honor and conscious of its great
mission in the world, can be content
to rely for peace upon the forbear of
other powers
ITO any public man who knows of
the state department there is an ele-
that the time has gone by when weak
those that are stronger without arous-
ing effective protest from other strong
interests. The United States can hope
for a permanent career of peace on
only one condition, and that is, on
condition of building and maintaining
first class navy and the step to be
taken toward this end at this time is
to provide for the building of four
additional battleShips"

not allow enough by a quarter of a
million dollars a year for extensions.
The court holds that under the ar
rangement made by the public utilities
commission, including the ascent
rate, the annual deficit of the Kansas
Natural would be $3.50, 131. The thirty
two cent rate, according to the court,
will make up this deficit.
The opinion was handed down by
Walter H. Sanborn. circuit judge of
the St. Paul district; Ralph c. Camp
bell, judge of the Oklahoma district;
WILDER F. Booth, judge of the Mime
sofa district. Morton Albaugh, clerk
of the federal district court, was called
to Kansas City by telephone and re-
turned to Topeka with the opinion
and order Saturday night.
How Will 1t Work?
Attorneys interested in the gas case
met at the federal building Sunday
and discussed the courts order from
all angles. Here are questions asked,
none of which was answered:
Will the s750,000 ordered to be
spent for extensions bring sufficient
gas to Topeka for next winter?
Can the receiver secure fifty miles
of pipe for extensions of the mains, as
ordered by the court? Factories, gas
representatives said. are making mu-
nitions not gas pipe, and pipe line is
made to order with no supply on hand.
If 1t is possible to get the pipe and
the receivers secure right of way,
where will they get the gas?

HEAD STRUCK A ROCK
Melvin Pribble Fractured Skull Diving
in Gage Park Lake.

Melvin Pribble, nineteen year old
son of Harry C. Pribble. Santa Fe gen.
eral claim agent, received a fractured
skull Sunday when he dove into the
lake at Gage park, striking his head
against rock. He was rendered un-
conscious and was only prevented
from drowning by the timely work of
James Mccormick and Ernest Order.
1t is thought that Pribble's wound will
not prove fatal.
Young Pribble had dived from the
springing board and it was noticed
that he was long time in coming to
the surface. Mccormick went to the
rescue when the boy came up. He
swan with him to the bank and Prib-
BILE was laid upon the platform at the
side of the pool. First aid treatment
prevented him bleeding to death and
he was taken to st. Francis hospital
in ]. E. Wilson'S automobile.
DR.. Raster. chief surgeon for the
Santa Fe, and the house surgeon at St.
Francis hospital dressed the wound.
DR.. Raster stated that the fracture
was one and one-half inches long.

HE WROTE STILL STANDS

Oyster Bay. N. Y. June 5.-Colonel
Roosevelt has issued the following
statement on the big naval fight of
last week in the North sea:
II didn't need the lesson of the
North sea fight to teach me what our
navy needs. Ninth-tenths of wisdom
consists in being wise in time. If you
will turn to my special message of
April, 1908, you will find there an
earnest plea for a four battleship a
year program with all the supplement
tary ships necessary. When 1 wrote
the special message on that subject
backing up the general board, I asked
that this be mad a continuous policy.
1 wish the people would recall the
reasons 1 then gave.
What 1 then wrote applies without
the dotting of an or the crossing of a

people to have spent twenty-five
months without making any prepara-
ton SO that we are no better fitted now
than we were two years ago in spite of
the fact of the world cataclysm-
In that special message of April l 4,
1908. 1 said:
ACTUAL experience showed not
merely that it was impossible to OBJ

tation of ornaments among the vari

was no likelihood whatever of obtain

discovery occurred a radical change in

great military nations change in

battleShips have been or are being
constructed of a size and armament
which doubles, or more probably,
trebleS their effectiveness. While
every other great naval nation has or
is building a number of ships of this

sidered to have been needlessly can
did and conservative in underestimate
ing the extent of the German losses. as
compared with those of Great Britain,
has been greatly lessened by the latest
announcement.
Hopes of Loved Ones Fade.
London, June 5.-The hope of many
English families, members of which
were on the ships lost in the great
Skagerak sea fight, that some of the
men would be rescued is being slowly
crushed by the tales of awfulness
brought in by vessels which have
reached Copenhagen since the battle.
But with the crushing of this hope
pride in the navy is growing hourly
with the continued inSiStence of the
British admiralty that the Germans
lost far more heavily than they admit.
Warrior Afloat As Hours.
London, June 5.-Survivors of the
British cruiser Warrior who were
landed at Davenport say the Warrior
tween two lines of German warships
with the result that within a few min
utes the Defence was blown into the
air and the Warrior badly riddled. A
storm of German shells exploding on
the decks of the Warrior almost spf-
located the crew with their gases.
When the Germans were at length
driven off by British achievements
the pumps were manned on the bat
tered and sinking ship and succeeded
in keeping her afloat until an auxiliary
ship came alongside and took off the
wounded. The auxiliary took the War
rior in tow for As hours when she
foundered.
One of the officers of the Warrior
told the order in which the British
ships were lost. He said that the
Lion, Admiral Sir David Beatty
famous flagship, led the battle cruis-
ers into action and withstood a ter
rifle bombardment. The Invincible
was the first to go down, followed
closely by the Indefatigable and a few
minutes later by the Queen Mary.

Federal Court Fixes Rate for
the Kansas Natural.
The New Price Becomes Effec-
tive Within so Days.
RECEIVER TO SPEND $3.50, 900
In Extending Mains to Sources
of Supply.
Previous Action of the p. e. C.
Is Set Aside.

Three federal judges met at Kansas
City Saturday afternoon and handed
down a decision in the Kansas Natural
gas case allowing the Kansas Natural
to raise it's rate to 80 cents ,er thou
sand feet within sixty days, and in
structing the federal receiver, John
M Landon, to spend $4,000 within
a year in extending the mains to ad-
equate gas supplies and 100000 a
year thereafter for five years.
This order is not final The three
judges held that if it is found that
the 30 cents is higher than necessary
the surplus will be refunded to the
consumers when the final order is
made. They held also that none of
the principal shall be turned over to
the creditors until the extensions
ordered by the court have been made.
The receiver is instructed to file a
bond for $4,000 within sixty days.
The public utilities commission as
sumed jurisdiction over the Kansas
Natural and after hearing author
lzeo a rate of 2S cents per thousand
feet in Kansas. The federal courts
nad ordered a 80 cent rate into effect
injunction proceedings were instituted
in the federal court to enjoin the
public utilities commission from inter-
fering with John M. Landon, receiver
in putting the 81 cent rate into effect
1t was an order to this effect that
the court handed down Saturday, al
though it covered numerous other
matters in an opinion handed down
at the same time.
Hold IS Cents Too Low.
The court holds that a rate less than
32 cents per thousand feet Will be
insufficient; that the IS cent rate
fixed by the public utilities commits
sion will be confiScatory and therefore
in violation of the constitution of the
United States. In its opinion the
court notes several errors upon
which the public utilities commission
based its % cent rate.
The state commission fixed the life
of the gas fields at twelve years. The
federal court says six years.
The state commission assumed the
Kansas Natural will have to pay 4
cents per thousand for gas. The fed
era1 court says cents.
The court says the commission did

UP by Henry L. Doherty and his as
sociates and the question was raised
as to whether he would sell to the
Kansas Natural.
In the hearing before the federal
court it was testified that it would
require $1,OO0,000 to put the Kansas
Natural pipe line back in shape to
handle gas, including the building of
a new compressor station at Scipio at
a cost of more than 100000 1t was
also testified that after spending this
amount in rebuilding the line it would
be necessary to spend that much more
to buy gas and make extensions and
connections.
The court order makes no provi-
SionS for these matters.
