WOULD SAVE GAS
Sec'y Lane Appeals for. New
Conservation Methods.
Officials of Gas States Are In
Session Today.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Governors of
natural gas producing states. state
biologists. public utility commission
ers. gas company officials and appli-
ance manufacturers met here today
at the National Gas Conservation Con-
gress to consider means of relieving
the gas shortage
Secretary Lane addressed the con-
vention. He declared he believed in
using the resources of the land for
commercial and domestic purposes
and using them without waste. Nat
ural gas is wasted. he said, because
many of the producers are after the
oil, and only consider gas as a by
product. and oil as the main object.
Lane stated that he believed that
gas is now wasted at the wells, along
the lines, and in the homes and that
this waste should be stopped imme-
dtately. If this is not stopped, it will
probably mean that the government
will take control of the situation, he
explained
The conference decided that about
two-thirds of the natural gas pro-
duced was wasted and that a large
amount of this could be attributed to
Iauity burners in homes

appointed today at the agricultural
convention in Memorial hall
This afternoon Governor Allen adj
dressed the farmers, explaining his
farm tenantry plan.
Allen attacked the autocratic con-
troll exercised by Alexander Howat
and other mine leaders. Speaking in
behalf of his industrial court plan,
which he said the farmers of Kansas
are supporting, the governor declared
that some step must be taken to deny
labor the right to place itself in volun-
tary servitude. He declared there
never was such servitude as that en-
dured, voluntarily, by miners. He
gave an instances of where a miner
was fined by his union official for
digging too much coal.
The public, the Submerged nine
tenths.' as he called them, is going to
be heard from now, Allen declared.
He said he believed that inside of a
year after such an industrial court bill
should be adopted, the laboring men
would be its best friends.

WANT ROAD BACK
Kansas Counties Ask Legisla-
ture Permission for Bonds.
Would Vote $75O,OOO to Relieve
Rail Crisis.
BIG TERRITORY DEMORALIzED
Bins Full of Grain, No Coal,
Mail, Trade or Trains.
X. G. and n. w. Measure Urged
as an Emergency.
IG TERRITORY DEMORALIzED

Kansas Legislators today received an
appeal to permit citizens of Nemaha,
jefferson, Jackson, Leavenworth and
Marshall counties to vote $750,000 in
bonds TO put a stop to millions of dol
lars in economic waste resulting. it is
claimed, in the annulment of service
on the Kansas City and Northwestern
railroad.
A bill asking permission for town
ships, counties and cities affected to
vote sufficient bonds to rehabilitate
the road and restore railroad service
to towns either partially or totally
crippled by the annulment Of service,
was introduced in the upper house to-
day by Bergen of Summerfield.
Bergen drew word picture of sew
eral enterprising towns, including his
home town, with no railroad facilities
of any description, caught by the shut
down on traffic with their elevators
full of grain, their coal bins emptied,
their mail service demoralized and
their property diminishing in value
During the coal famine, wagons and
trucks were pressed into service to
haul coal from the nearest railroad
town to the stricken, crippled towns
which woke up one morning to flnd
there would be no more train service
Milk Industry Ruined.
I'm Summerfield, one of the thriv-
ing towns in the state, our elevators
were full of grain our milk industry
was ruined and our trade reduced al
most to nothing when the train service
stopped
other towns named by Bergen,
either partially or entirely crippled in
railroad facilities following the annul-
Iuent of service are Tonganoxie, Cir
cleville, Valley Falls, Holton, Goff,
Axtell and several towns in Nebraska.
The terminal of the road is Virginia,
Nebraska.
Bergen's bill provides that towns,
townships and counties affected may
vote bonds not to exceed $4,000 mile
which represents an issue of 5-million
dollars. This money, Bergen stated
would enable the receiver to repair
the road and make other improve
ments necessary to re-establish train
service.
Attached to copies of the bill
printed the following appears:
with the constituency on the line
of the Kansas City and Northwestern
railroad. desiring the passage of the
bill as an emergency to save our rail-
road we ask that this bill be declared

DRY FORCE READY
Federal Prohibition Enforce
ment Machinery Is Oiled.
Careful Watch Will Be Kept on
All Liquor Stocks.

Washington. Jan. 15.-Prohibition
Commissioner Cramer has completed
organization of the machinery for the
enforcement OF constitutional prohibi-
ton after the amendment and the
enforcement of law become effective
at midnight tomorrow night. Commits
sioners have been appointed for prac-
tically all states as well as for the dis
tricts into which the country has been
divided for enforcement of the law.
With the coming into force OF the
amendment, export of intoxicating
liquors will cease. An enormous
amount of whisky has been sent out
of the country within the past few
weeks, but large stocks still remain
in bonded warehouses and these will
be watched closely to prevent illegal
sales.
Must Move 1t Today.
Liquor held in warehouses and else
where for private account must be
moved to homes or other places of
residence by the owners before to-
morrow midnight. Any remaining in
storage will be subject to seizure.
Home brewing of beverages contain
ing more than one-half of 1 per cent
of alcohol also will come under the
ban.
Enforcement of the new liquor law
will be left largely to state. county and
municipal officials. but Commissioner
Cramer has given warning that where
these fail to use due diligence, the
federal authorities will step in. Reso-
lutions urging loyal citizens" to re-
mind those who are Indifferent or hos
tile that unless the national prohi-
bition law is enforced lawlessness will
be encouraged were adopted today by
the executive committee of the Anti
saloon League of America. Federal
authorities were urged to see that the
law is upheld in those states hostile to
