Obtain Support for In

Press. president Wilson is con-
sidering a speaking tour of the
United States when he returns
home. It is said that this trip will
take him into many of the principal

touch the Pacific coast.
With congress out of the way
early in March, Mr.. Wilson would
have an opportunity for such tour
before returning to Europe should
he follow his original plan, and if
his return should be necessary. He
would also have time for his pro-
posed trip before the converting of
an extraordinary session of congress
should he decide to call one. So
far as known, Mr.. Wilson has no
plans for an extra session, but he
still holds TO his idea of returning
to the peace congress, if it is felt
his presence is necessary to the sue
cess of the league of nations.

MAYOR DECIDES
GAS COMPANY
is INNOCENT
Result Of His Investigation is
That Bills Are Not Boosted;
Normal Increase Not
Shown.

Mayor Smith made very COM
plete report to city council Of his
Investigations into the alleged
wholesale boosting" of gas bills in
Omaha, and he finds for the de-
fendant." The gas company is in
nocent.
In fact, he found that the gas
company did not make quite its
normal increase in the sale OF its
product in 1918 over 1917. "Peo-
pie were conserving on gas said
the mayor.
His report shows that in 1917
there were oO1, 5o7, 500 cubic feet
of gas consumed in Omaha, and in
1918 there were 9lo,34l,7OO cubic
feet consumed, an increase of only
about 100000 cubic feet.
The mayor secured bills from con-
sumers in some cases extending
back FIVE years. He presents the

bills of District Judge Day, whose
wife has saved them since 1914
Taking the total Of the bills for the
last three months in each year, the
Day gas bills were as follows: 1914,
$6,4s; 1915, $50; 1916, $40; 1917,
$50; 1918 1888.
Less Gas Consumed.
Considering that the gas price
has been raised, the actual con-
sumption in the last quarter of 1918
was less than in the same period OF
1917, the mayor shows.
The total bill of I. F. Stroud for
1917 was $3.50, the report shows,
and for 1918 it was $55.47. This,
too, shows a decreased mileage by
the gas meter.
o. A. Scott, superintendent of gas
street lighting, brought in bills of
seven neighbors Of his for the last
three months of 1917 and 1918,
showing that they totalled S68.o0
for 1917 and 1904 for 1918. This
is also a small decrease in cubic
feet consumed in 1918.
THE increases have been due
principally to mistakes which hap
pened because of incompetent
clerks or meter readers" said the
mayor. Sand ] found the company
very glad to rectify any errors
when called to their attention. They
have $4,000 gas meters in Omaha
and it would be wonderful if a few
of them weren't out of working or
der sometimes"
The company asaked the mayor
to advise people who suspect their
meters of running too fast to have
the city gas inspector take the
meter out and test it. Many refuse
to believe the company when it
tests a meter and declares it to be
working all right Council will
order this done in the future.

the battle-searred veteran.
While patroling the Picardy sec
tor Kutak was wounded. A high
explosive she'll burst near him and
the fragments hit his body in about
10 different places. He was stunned
for a few minutes, but felt no pain,
he said. After walking about 10
feet to a dressing station he tainted
from loss of blood and was placed
under ether. In the meantime the
enemy had thrown barrage about
the dressing station and it was al
most impossible to move the
wounded man to the base hospital.
However, two men volunteered for
this hazardous task. They were
Corp. Guy Garrett of Grand Island
and Private Owen of the medical
corps. They passed through the
barrage safely and brought Private
Kutak to a base hospital, thus saw

Poineare and General Pershing
The men marched through the
streets of Paris and to the Lafay-

General Pershing make the now
famous statement:
Lafayette, We Are Here"
Three other Omaha men were in
Mr. Kutak's company They were
Otto Bartos, Joseph Hollasek and
William Druse. All three of them,
according to Mr.. Kutak, have been
gassed, while Mr.. Hollasek has also
been severely wounded.
Private Kutak refused to discuss
the Y. NJ. c. A., but he highly
praised the work OF the Red Cross
and the Salvation Army.
"The Salvation Army fed me
while in the trenches under shell
fire and the Red Cross saved my
life" he said.
Except for the loss of one of his
fingers, Mr. Kutak seems to have
entirely recovered from his in
juries. He intends to return to
Central High school and complete
his course, which he dropped in
order to join the army.

of poorer quality at II to 73 cents. At
the 75-cent quotation the demand is
strong, but the dealers find it difficult
to buy. The majority of crops are not
yet baled and the growers are in no
hurry to sell.
The buying appears to be nearly all
for English account, though there has
been some purchasing, by dealers to fill
up their contracts which have not come
up to the required quantities.
1t is figured that more hops were con.
tracted for in Oregon and Washington
than were produced this year. In this
state, according to present estimates, the
crop will not exceed 10000 bales. Wash
ington was more closely sold up than
any other section with practically 95 pei
cent of the growers under contract.
The quality of the Oregon crop is sat
isfactory. Traces of mold have beer
found in some sections, but on the whole
the yield is sound and clean.
