He Was Enlisting When Police

Even if Mrs. Sadie Thompson of
Eskridge, didn't raise her 15-year-old
son, John, to be soldier. the lad, like
many others. had a mind of his own.
The twice-a-week picture shows had
nothing but soldier pictures, the pa
pers were titled with war stories, near

interesting town for a lad who spent

Monmouth. Ill.
So John decided to be a soldier. He
caught a train for Topeka Monday
night, arriving about 8 o'clock with
nothing except an ambition for a
khaki suit, raincoat and a few cents,
sufficient to provide a nights lodging
in the Thorne hotel.
This morning bright and early John
called at the recruiting station at 425
Kansas avenue. He admitted he didn t
stick exactly to the truth in testifying
to his age.

DENIES P. u. C. WRIT
Supreme Court Hands Down Decision
in Natural Gas Case.

The state supreme court this after
noon denied the writ of mandamus
sought by the public utilities commits
sion in the Kansas Natural Gas case.
The case has been pending for several
months, the writ being denied in view
of the action of the federal court in
holding the state utilities commission
has no jurisdiction in the gas contro-
verSy.
Action of the supreme court is based
solely on the federal court decision
denying the state the right to inter-
fere in the gas case. Contracts by the
gas company were sought to be en-
forced by the state commission and an
application for a writ of mandamus
was filed with the supreme court. In
the meantime the gas company went
into the federal court, where Judge
Booth held the state commission was
without power or authority to inter
fera with or regulate the gas company.
