FOIL BANK ROBBERY
Officers Nab Three Men Near Schultz
Ore in Benton HoIdup?

Wichita, Aug. 13.-What Wichita
officers believe was an attempt to rob
the Schultz State bank at Schultz
eight miles southwest of Wichita, just
twenty-four hours after the successful
Iooting of the Benton State bank
thirty miles away. was foiled Tuesday
by Sheriff d. c. Simmons and his
force. Three men were arrested. One
of them, officers declare. was one OF
the men who robbed the Benton bank
of $50, 500 and maed their escape.
When the officers appeared, two
fled, but were captured under bridge
All had weapons. They gave the
names of ]. c. Mack, of Chicago. and
A. w. Cutburth, of Pittsburg. Kan,
and T. A. Cutburth. of Pittsburg.
Authorities believe they are men,
bers of a Kansas City gang making
headquarters at Wichita. They say
these. are the men who attempted to
rob the Schultz bank three months
ago.
1t is believed former bootleggers in
this district are turning to bank rob-
bling and detectives here say a great
increase in bank footing is to be ex-
pected in the near future.
While the Benton robbery gang is
not yet captured, information shows

FAVOR SWAY GAS PLAN
Six Kansas Cities Represented ut Con-
ference-Leave Rates to p. U. G.

Wichita, Kan, Aug. 13.-The 3-way
plan for fixing the price of gas to
consumers of the Wichita Natural Gas
company product in Kansas was ap-
proved here Tuesday by meeting of
representatives of cities supplied by
the company. The meeting, however,
did not approve the rates proposed in
the plan, the matter of rates being left
to the state public utilities commits
sion, which will hold a hearing at To-
peka September 3.
The plan was originally presented to
the Kansas City Chamber of Com
merce by Henry L. Doherty, president
of the Cities Service corporation, who
attended the meeting here.
The plan provides for a consumers
annual charge, a demand charge
based on the amount of gas a con-
sumner will use during the year, and
the regular rate per thousand feet
1t Is estimated that the plan will
double the present rates on gas in
Kansas.
Representatives of Wichita, Hutch
inson, Newton, Arkansas City, Win
field and Burton attended the meet
ing.
The rate as proposed to the meet
ing fixed the consumers charge at Sc
per year. 1t would cover the cost of
meter reading, bookkeeping and col
Letting accounts. The demand charge
would be placed at 80 cents per thou
sand feet, as determined in advance
by testing the burners and the regu-
lar cubic feet charge would be 80
cents per thousand feet

2 DANGEROUS CORNERS
Topeka Avenue Traffic Is Now Heavier
Than Ever Before.

Topeka avenue franc Is NOW 1edNier
Than Ever Before.
Owing to the smooth roadway on
Topeka avenue traffic has increased
tremendously there.
At two points. Tenth street and
Huntoon, there are corners that are
particularly dangerous. "Of course,
it is out of the question to put traf-
fic policemen out there to run the
stream of vehicles as they should go,
but something should be done" a
resident of the avenue says. The
middle of the intersections should be
established so that all vehicles will
go clear around and not cut corners"
Several times signs have been
placed placed in the street. They
were made with a metallic base. and
a disc at the top of a thin standard,
carrying the warning. At night it is
almost impossible to see these signs
and they don't last more than two or
three evenings before they are dam
aged.
The streets are wide enough to
make it feasible to erect concrete
posts that would not take much space
and could not be pushed over especial
ly IL they were equipped with electric
danger lights on top. This might be
the means of solving the location Of
the turning point at these intersec-
tions. Many drivers seem unable to
find the right place 20 turn.

DEALER PASSES THE BUCK.
Commission Man Blames Producer fol
High Cost of Living.

IAEA OOsI VI 1ANEu&.
Chicago, Aug. 13.-High wages con-
tinued to pour into cash registers for
high prices of clothing, shoes and lux
uries, while prices in food commodi-
ties were breaking under the strain of
increased shipments by producers,
who feared lower prices, government
investigation of boarding and profit
eering and aroused public sentiment.
A plumber and a labor union presi-
dent said wage earners were having
"a fling" while commission mer-
chants blamed the producers orgAni-
cations for high prices of commodi-
ties.
Department store managers said
highly paid mechanics were buying
high priced clothing and shoes, and
that the public generally demanded
the best and would not buy low priced
articles II they were to be had.
These big producers associations
really are operating in restraint of
trade" said a commission merchant
who declared men in his line actually
were selling at a loss because the pro-
ducers were demanding top prices. To
charge what the commission man
should receive would cause every buy
err to label him a profiteer. Apples
selling at 1925 to $3.50 a box cost
him $3.50, he declared.

$4,000 BARRELS A DAY
Kansas Oils Fields Show 1000 Barrel
Increase in Production.

Wichita, Kan. Aug. 13.-By another
jump upward of about 1000 barrels,
the Kansas oil fields are showing the
best record in many months. The pre-
-vious good wells of the Elbing and
Peabody pools. coupled with the
steady production from Eldorado and
Augusta, have made a gratifying total.
taken in connection with the newest
wells of the central Kansas region.
The indications from the present
facts appear to warrant the prediction
that the present total will be main
tanned, II not increased, for several
weeks. An estimate of the Kansas
fields shows for the past week in
Kansas in daily average production:
Augusta ........... $4,000 barrels
Eldorado -........... $4,000 barrels
Other fields .........s $4,000 barrels
Total ......... $4,000 barrels
While the total for Oklahoma is
naturally much higher, yet the figures
for that state do not indicate such a
gain as for Kansas.

Experiencing A Gas Shortage
In Mild Weather.

II is rare thing for Cloverport to
have to experience a gas shortage in
mild weather, particularly at this time
of the year But for the last several
weeks the city has been almost with
out any gas at all. The shortage is
due to broken fixtures in the main
well, and there has been a delay in
getting the repairs made on account
of having to order new materials.
House-keepers and business con-
Germs alike have been inconvenience
in the delay. Especially has The Brock
inridge News experienced difficulty in
operating the linotype machine. How
ever, Mr.. w. y Worden, general
manager of the Cloverport Gas Com
pany, promises big supply of gas
when the repairs are completed, so
individuals are exercising their pat
