k. C. TO Get CAS-
Agreement Reached on Pro-
pOsal of Mayor Edwards.
Doherty agrees to Produce Sup
ply or Suffer Penalty.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 1.-THE
gas problems of this city for next win
ter have apparently been solved as a
result of an agreement reached here
Friday by the gas conference on a
suggestion made by Mayor Edwards
providing that the city shall pay So
cents a thousand feet for the first A.
600 feet used and SO cents per thou
sand for all amounts above the initial
1000.
The plan, if adopted, will go into
effect next September and it carries
Ia penalty which it is believed will
cause, the gas company to give the
very best possible service. 1t provides
that cents per thousand feet shall
be deducted from the price for every
inch the gas pressure drops below the
required standard and in case the gas
fails for a definite period this will IN
validate all bills for that month
Representatives of the Kansas Nat
ural and the local company accepted
vote by the gas users will decide
whether the plan will be placed in
operation.
The agreement will be embodied in
a contract which will bind the city,
the local gas company and the Kan
saS Natural until next spring
Doherty Is Willing.
Mr.. Doherty said he would guar
antee S0,000,00O cubic feet of gas for
the north pipe lines of his company
next winter. He said he would guar
antee Kansas City AZ per cent of that
amount, or about 35,00O,000 feet.
'Ill agree to furnish that amount"
Mr. Doherty said, land if L fail I'm
willing to be penalized.''
On the coolest days last winter Kan
sas City got along badly with APP
proximately 100000 feet a day. Gas
experts estimate 3o,00O,000 feet is SUI
ficient for the citys cooking and light
ing.
Arrangements for the vote will be
made Immediately. thru Mayor Ed
wards ard the local gas company. The
cost of the postcard vote will be paid
by the gas companies. The result will
be determined by a committee to be
appointed by fhe mayor.
X. C. Kan. For Plan.
Mayor Green of the Kansas side.
favors the plan He said he would
present it to the city commissioners
He believes they will approve it. 1t
is not known what action the Kansas
public utilities commission will take
on the plan. 1t will not be submitted
to them if the necessary action can
be brought in the supreme court or
the federal court
Mayor Green VIII have the gas plan
submitted to the Kansas side in the
same way it is handled here, he said.
The conference is meeting again this
afternoon to work out the details of
the plan.

OAKLAND OUT OF DEBT
And There's a Surplus in Treasury of
TOpeka's Suburb.

Oakland is having a little politics
of its own Today, the present mayor
and council issue the following state
ment, giving reasons for asking a re-
election:
AT the close of another official
term of two years. we feel that we
have made visible progress in the
way of municipal improvement. We
take a justifiable pride and satisfac-
ton in being instrumental in obtain
ing the present system of lighting
Oakland by electricity and at the same
rate the city of Topeka is served
We have this without the incubus
OF a permanent interest bearing debt
which, if once incurred would never
have been removed. We feel the terms
of the franchise are so favorable that
our citizens will in the years to come
congratulate themselves upon their
good fortune.
I'VE are also glad to be able to re-
port the city of Oakland out of debt,
and with surplus in the treasury,
as well as sufficient sum in the
lighting fund to carry the city for the
balance Of the year.

Stecher One of Fe1u Stars Who
Reign Supreme in Their Orbits
Cobb, Kilbane and Hoppe Only
Others Who Share Unique
HOnOrS.
BY JACK VETOCK.

New York, March 17.-Joe Stecher,
the husky Nebraska farmer boy, has
distinction which few athletes of
the present day can claim-the dis
tinction of standing in a class very
much by himself.
Look over the field of sports and
you find but few who rank in this
select set. Johnny Kilbane is one,
Ty Cobb is without a doubt the great
est all-around ball player of the day
and Willie Hoppe stands head and
shoulders above every billiard expert
in the world. There are few others.
Much has been written about Stech-
er's great strength. He has been
given plenty of recognition for his
proWeSS on the mat, and today he is
recognized as the peer of masters.
But have you ever considered that
Stecher, as he stands today, is just
as great at his style of wrestling as
Frank Gotch was at his a few years
ago?
This may sound like a broad state
ment- Mebbe it is and mebbe it isn't,
but the fact remains that there is not
another wrestler in the world who can
hold a candle to Stecher in the use of
the body scissors hold.
Gotch Was Great in His Way.
Frank Gotch's forte was his famous
toe hold, and he was a finished mas
ter IN It's use. GOtch was also a great
rough and tumble wrestler. His great
strength, well distributed for the most
part, but favoriug his powerful arms
and shoulders to some extent, made
him demon on the canvas.
In comparison with Gotch, Stecher
is different type of wrestler The
big boy from the Cornhusker state is
endowed with almost superhuman
strength in his hips and legs Once
caught in the wise of his body scis-
sors an opponent is helpless. Even
the biggest and strongest men who
have tackled Stecher have found it
impossible to extricate themselves
from his now famous scissors hold
Where Gotch forced his opponents
to pin their shoulders to the mat
thru the use of the agonizing toe
hold, Stecher's persuader is the crush
ing scissors. With his powerful
limbs locked around an opponent S
middle Stecher slowly brushes him in
to submission.
The best wrestlers who have tried
to defeat Stecher attempted to wear
him out. Charley Cutler, Stranger
Lewis and others took the defensive
when they entered the arena with the
Nebraska boy. for when on the defen-

In H. S. TOURNAMENT
Basketball Teams Play Final Games
at Lawrence This Afternoon.

Lawrence, Kan, March 17.-Basket-
ball games followed each other in
rapid succession here today as the
survivors in the state high school
tournament battled for supremacy in
both the boys and girls divisions. 1t
was expected that the play would last
until the wee hours and so uncertain
was the dope that no one would pre-
dict the final winners
The first d. = iay brought all of
the teams into action and as a result
only eight boys teams and four girl
quintets remained to fight for the
premier honor. The boys teams sched-
uled to play today represented Belle

Hazelton. The girls teams remaining

u.
Many followers of wrestling who
have never seen Stecher work prob
ably do not appreciate just what his
famous crusher means to the wrestler
who gets caught in it. Briefly, it is
a rib-crushing hold. Nothing more
nor less than slow torture. Stecher
has perfected the hold until now he
can clamp it onto an opponent from
almost any position. He may be
nearly down himself and still lock
his man with those powerful limbs.
Once he gets the hold Stecher locks
his angles, brings his knees toward
each other with a slow, but powerful
inward pressure, and if his man
doesn't yelp for mercy he is soon
rolled over on his back.
Stecher stands ready to defend his
claims to the catch-as-catch-can title,
and, altho illness kept him out of sew
eral big matches during the past win
ter, he announces now that he is
ready. In all proba bility it will be
some moons before the wrestler
springs up who will be able to defeat
Stecher. and, like Gotch. he may be
enabled to retire undefeated. Those
who know both wrestlers intimately
are of the opinion that Stecher would
have defeated Gotch had they met
last summer. for the champion toe
holder is getting along in years now
and Stecher is in his prime.

SIMPSON At BEST
Missouri Star Defeated Kansas
in Dual Track Meet.
He Broke One Worlds Record
and Equaled Another.

Kansas City. Mo, March 17.-Bob
Simpson, the most famous track man
the University of Missouri ever
boasted. ended his indoor collegiate
career here in the dual meet with
Kansas University by establishing
new worlds record in the 50-yard low
hurdles and by piling up 1S points
which gave victory to the Tiger colors-
Simpson also equaIled the worlds rec
ord in the high hurdles and it was
entirely due to his point making that
the Missourians carried away victory.
Had he been eliminated the meet
would have been much more exciting
and in all probability the Jayhawkers
would have won.
Out of the eleven events Kansas
won six first places, but the relay the
big point scoring event, went to MIS-
souri, and this with Simpsons work
was enough to turn the tide Columbia
way, the final score being 46 to 80. Not
a single Kansan won more than one
event. Stateler was the biggest in
