MAKE FUEL PROBE
Coal Situation i'm Kansas Comes
Before Governor.
Farmers in Northwest, Are
Burning Their Corn.
PRICES UNREASONABLE HIGH
Fuel Near Colorado Line Higher
Than in Topeka.
Industrial Court May Be Asked
to Take Action.

The state today faced a new probe
of the coal situation. Complaints filed
with Governor Allen were to the ef-
feet that farmers in northwestern
Kansas are burning corn in order to
keep warm
Frank McIvor of Hoxie state SEN
ator-elect from the Thirty-ninth dis
trict, and Robert S. Hendricks, for
mer member of the legislature from
Rawlins county, today told Governor
Allen of conditions in the northwest
country. They said prices for fuel
were unreasonably high and that the
supply was not equal to the demand.
From Colorado Mines.
Much of the coal for northwestern
Kansas comes from Colorado mines.
Sherman, Thomas Sheridan, Decatur,
Rawlins, Cheyenne and other counties
rely almost entirely on Colorado mines
for their supply. Freight rates to
points in these counties are declared
to be much lower than rates on the
same coal to Topeka. Yet Topeka
merchants sell coal from Colorado
mines for less than do dealers in Moxie.
Colby, Goodland, Atwood and other
towns.
In Topeka, Governor Allen was ad-
vised, Colorado coal sells for $3.50
a ton. In northwestern Kansas, near
er the source of supply. there is an in
adequate supply and prices are $3.50
a ton. In consequence many farmers
are burning corn in order to keep
warm. Governor Allen will probably
ask the industrial court to make an
immediate investigation.

Miss CASTOR have cigarets. but she had
a very special kind made for feminine
use when she produced from her
handbag. They were gold-tipped, per-
fumed and monogrammed, or at least
there was place for a monogram,
tho Miss -Gaston's initials were not
found thereon.

action to the word, tho shrinkingly.
To save Miss CASTOR the report that
she has turned backward in her move

reluctantly, that the coffin nails are
still the object of her crusade, and
that the gold-tipped coffin fasteners
were relics of a fight she had con-
