WASHINGTON, Sept 2.-The house

expenditures during the war Monday
night made public testimony taken in
its hearing, showing that the govern
ment shell-loading plant at Fort Della
ware, uncompleted when the armistice

mated cost when the contract was let
on the cost-plus basis was placed at
from $1,250,000 to $1,50O,000.
The difference between the estimat-
ed cost and the total thus far pair
out by the government for the build
ing of the plant is shown in testimony

and a report made last October by
Major Clair Foster, Of the Construc-
ton Division Of the army and inserted
by the committee in the records.
Salaries Raised.
The contract for the plant was let to
the Marlin Rockwell Corporation,
which organized a subsidiary concern
known as the Marlin Rockwell Load
ing Company, which, in turn, contract

construction of the big plant and ad-

Kansas Natural Goes to Bat Be-
fore P. U. C. Today.
Receiver John NJ. LandOn Tes-
titles Before Commission.
MORE LEGAL FIGHTS LIKELY
Kansas Commission Trying to
Establish Authority.
Operating Expenses Discussed
by Witnesses Today.

Receiver John NJ. Landon, Of the
Kansas Natural Gas company, today
told public utilities commission mem
bers that the company under the new
rate schedule was able to buy enough
gas to meet all demands. He said that
any reduction in existing rates, tho.
would handicap the producing and dis
tributing companies and work hard
ship on consumers.
The Kansas Natural went before
the commission today for an inning
in the rate controversy. Public utili-
ties commission members. it has been
asserted, may seek to establish rates
to be paid to the Kansas Natural by
distributing companies. Such an order
IS expected to result in court action
concerning the authority OF a state
commission to regulate affairs of a
corporation declared by the federal
courts to be engaged in interstate COM
Inerce
Fix Distributing Rates.
Rates by distributing companies to
consumers will be fixed by the COM
mission as a result of the present
hearings. Following the taking of
testimony of Kansas Natural officials,
It is probable the various distributing
companies will tell their stories. Sew
eral days ago, T. F. Doran, attorney
for the Consumers Light, Heat &
Power company of Topeka. asserted
that the Topeka company would ask
a separate hearing. He said a similar
course would doubtless be pursued by
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1919-07-30

other companies. The commission
will not go into the local issues, tho,
until the present hearings are con-
cluded.
Several officers of the Kansas Nat
ural today told the commission that
the company produced twelve billion
cubic feet of gas day. Fred S. jack
son, attorney for the commission,
asked why the company was able to
sell but eight billion cubic feet in
view of it's statement of twelve billion
cubic feet production. The commits
sion was told that the eight bill
lion cubic feet in sales represented the
demands and that all demands of con-
sumers had been met.
Discuss Expenses.
Witnesses today discussed in detail
the expense of operations, develop
ment of new fields and cost of trans
portation to the gates of the various
cities. Receiver Landon said that
reduction in existing rates would work
a hardship on the gas companies and
would handicap the company in in
creasing production. This situation,
he said, would mean a hardship for
consumers by virtue of limiting gas
supplies to fields now tapped by the
company's pipe lines.
Testimony of Kansas Natural Off
cials will be concluded Thursday.

USE OF THE PARK POOL
Rev. S. f. J. Watson Discredits Pc
tition About Bathing.

REV. -. r.. q. watson OlSCTeultS re-
tition About Bathing.
In connection with the petition re-
ferred to in this paper last evening,
Rev. S. z. J. Watson, pastor of Shiloh
Baptist church for the last two years,
takes exceptions TO statements made
in the petition filed before the COM
missioners, asking that colored chill
dren be barred from bathing in the
children's park pool. He says he has
not been in the pond himself this sea-
son and has only taken his boy out
there; that the stuffing of the white
boys mouth full of sand was told him
by the keeper of the park as a thing
that happened before he went there.
The petition was tabled by the COM
mission.
Watson came from Dallas to Topeka
two years ago well recommended from
the largest Baptist church in Texas.
He says:
81 have violated no law and have never
been arrested in my life. I have said
to Mr.. McGiffert and repeat 1t here that
II there is to be division of time for the
children at the park the half ray system
Is unjust Colored children have to work
in the morning helping parents and that
no one cared to go into water before 10
or IL O'Clock and by the time they got in
1t would be time to get them out and that
such law or rule would cause trouble.

be to give some one day I'm the week and
the others another day in the week. All
day and cut out the overlapping and trOu-
BILE making condition.
This 'unwritten law referred to has
taken Gage Park for the white children
to swim In, and now that this 'unwritten
law wants all but about an hour of the
only other place in town for children to
swim, what is to be given to our colored
too deep for them. Where is justice We
have even made an inquiry and have found
that there has been no colored minister
in the city who has ever taken a crowd
of cOlored boys out to the Childrens park
as referred to.
'Should we be taxed for n thing that we
will not be allowed to enjoy? is not tax
tyranny now as it ever was? Can we ex-
pect people to be and remain sweet
spirited when they are daily stamped with
the brand of inferiority and told that they

There Is no man in the world that our
people need as they need the American
white man, We need his sympathy and his
influence. There is no man that the Amer
lean white man needs and that he car
trust further than the negro.
IT there was ever n time when the
best men OF both races should get together
for the common good of all the people that
day is now. The man who looks out just
for me and mine is not the highest type
OF citizenship, we must unite and work
Tor the good OF all the people. There is
not a colored citizen I'm Topeka who con-
dennis my action and let the whole truth
be known and there will not be found n
white citizen who will condemn a thing
that was done out there"

CARE FOR A SOLDIER
Jefferson County Row Averted When
Coroner Resigns.

DR.. Delos NJ. Stevens. of Oskaloosa.
today saved a big row in jefferson
county when he resigned as coroner.
Doctor Stevens was appointed coroner
by Governor Allen when requests came
for a new Jefferson county coroner
and statements that the reelected cor
oner had failed to qualify for the job.
Technically the statements from JEFF
ferson county were correct. But Dr.
Richard o. Preston, of Meriden, had
served the county as coroner for sew
eTal years. He was reelected last fall
while in France. 1t was impossible for
him to return home and qualify in the
time provided by law. But there was
no question in the minds of Jeffer-
son county people that they wanted the
Meriden physician to hold the office.
Recently DR.. Preston returned home
and found that he was jobless. He
came to Topeka to learn just why his
job had been slipped from under him
in his absence. 1t all looked like the
starting point for a lively county row.
Doctor Stevens. tho. did not want to
be a party to the prospective contro-
versy. Neither did he want to take
job from a man who had served
his country in France. So Doctor
Stevens today sent his resignation to
Governor Allen with the request that
Doctor Preston be appointed. The ap-
pointment will be made Immediately.
