JUNE A COOL MONTH
Only the Last Week Did the Tcmpera-
ture Go Above Normal.

Unusually cool weather visited To-
peka for the first three weeks of June,
but temperatures the last week were
above normal almost continually and
the entire month was favored with an
almost record breaking amount of
sunshine. according to the summary of
the months weather that will be is

The minimum temperature of the
month was 4S degrees on the 18th,
was one of the lowest ever recorded
so late in the season, while the max
imum, 1902 degrees on the 30th, was
with one exception the highest ever
recorded in June.
The total rainfall was 3.04 inches, or
III inches below normal and was
ample for crops except towards the
close of the month, when what threat
ened to be a serious drought was
broken by a splendid rain of 1.41 in
ches on the 27-2Sth.
The average wind velocity was the
second highest on the June record. On
the 5th the most violent storm in the

WEDDING HANGS FIRE
Young Couple Can't Marry Without
Consent of Boys Father.

Ever since Saturday afternoon
Ralph Cav, probate judge, has been
carrying a marriage license around
in his pocket, filled out, signed, sealed
and ready to deliver. 81 -.
1t contains the names of Glenn BaS-
tan and Lehosie Rake, both under 20
years of age, and while the judge car
ries the license Bastian haunts tele-
graph offices looking for a message
from his father. The message must
state that the father gives his consent
to the marriage and it must be coun-
tersigned by the Santa Fe station
agent at Halstead, where the father is
supposed to be.
Glenn and Lehosie expected to Gel
citrate their wedding Saturday even
ing. The first obstacle showed up
when the young man gave his age as
mother was along and gave her con-
sent Judge Cav declined to let the
license go unless the written consent
of the father of the boy was produc-
ed.
The boy said his father was work
ing on the Santa Fee station at Hal
stead and he talked with the agent by
telephone. The agent agreed to get
the father to the office and send a tel
egram giving his consent if he was
willing. Then the boy wrote and
mailed special delivery letter. Late
Saturday night no reply had been re-
ceived to the kilograms and telephone
calls and the wedding was called off
egraph offices but no telegram came
and it has not arrived today. The
wedding is off until father gives his

SPLIT over COAL
Takes Hand i'm spa
triOtic Price" Situation.
Suspend Tentative Price Agree
ment; Cabinet in RuctiOn.

Washington, July president
Wilson today took hand in an at
tempt to eliminate the dangers which
are feared will come thru 'intermin-
CLINT of patriotism and profiteering."
The case Immediately in point is the
matter of pal prices.
The president himself it was
learned on highest authority today, is
not satisfied that last weeks 'patrio-
tic price fixing agreement of sew
eral hundred coal operators, will solve
the problem of the threatened serious
coal shortage and the matter of
mounting prices.
As a result the prices agreed upon
We're today suspended. The matter
is to be held in allegiance until the
president goes thoroly into this mat
ter which has already caused the
most serious split in cabinet ranks
since the declaration of war.
Bill to Take Over Product.
One plan for solution which the adj
ministration is considering that is sug-
gested in the Calder bill introduced
some days ago in the house This bill,
backed whole heartedly by the federal
commission would give the govern
ment control of all coal Immediately
it was mined. The government would
then distribute it at a cost plus profit
percentage price thru the ordinary
channels to big wholesalers.
Even those who favor the Calder
bill, however, said it would be insult
ficient unless the government takes
charge also of all coal-carrying cars.
This belief is held by at least two
members of the interstate commerce
commission, by nearly all of the fed
eral trade commission and by Secre-
taries Daniels and Baker.
Question Patriotism.
Secretary Lane insists that the mat
ter of cars is only one detail. Lane
thinks labor is as big an issue.
Baker and Daniels also believe the
price agreed to last week by the
operators not sufficiently low. Many
government heads hold this same
view. Among them is Attorney Cen
eral Gregory, who is opposed to per-
hitting the coal operators to pool
their interests and thus be lionized as
patriots" for setting a price that is
higher than the government has con-
tracted for.
1t is thought likely the whole mat
ter will be aired tomorrow when the
cabinet meets with the president.
