Tender and Ten Coaches Leave Track
on Missouri Pacific.


Warrensburg, Mo, Aug. 1s.-Twen-
ty persons were injured, some severely.
this morning when the tender and ten
coaches of Missouri Pacific passenger
No. 13, westbound, between st. Louis
and Kansas City left the track three
miles west Of Warrensburg. A broken
rail is believed to be the cause of the
wreck.
The fact that the accident occurred
while the train was travelling up grade
at a slow rate of speed probably pre-
vented a more serious wreck.
The injured were riding in a chair
car which turned over. Two Pullman
Goa ches in the rear of the train re-
mained on the track.
A relief train carrying physicians
and nurses was hurried from Seda-ia-
After treatment there they were re-

Burglar Takes
Dick Gosseft
Pop" Profits

Early this summer Richard Cos
sett, 1-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs
J. d. Gossett, 1211 MulVane street,
built pop stand in front of his home.
Aided by the neighborhood youngsters
he covered his stand with a canopy
and built up trade for motorists and
neighbors.
The cost of ice, the shrinkage due
to personal consumption, and the fact
that there is a gross profit of only 3
cents a bottle have made it impossible
for Richard to enter the income tax
returns. In fact, his entire clearings
have amounted to about $4-75.
Part of this money he placed in his
dime bank and the rest in a dish on
the buffet in the dining room.
Last night while the family was in
the living room and on the front
porch a burglar entered the house by
a rear door and took all of Richards s
pop profits for the summer
The burglar also took an envelope
containing Central Congregational
church money held by J. D. Gossett.
trustee of the church. The money
was handed Mr. Gossett after church
Sunday and had been unopened and
the amount is unknown.
Nothing else in the house was miss
ing.
The burglar did not remove the pop
stand.

CLASH IN SILESIA LET EN- REFUSE
Increased Rail Rates VIII Go
Into Effect Anyway.
Il. C. G. VIII Not Allow State
Action to Interfere.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Increased
railroad rates will be put into effect
despite the refusal of state rate
agencies to raise intrastate rates to the
same level as interstate rates fixed by
the interstate commerce commission,
officials of the commission said today.
State action must not be allowed to
interfere with rehabilitation of the
roads, the commission holds.
The authority of the interstate COM
merce commission is supreme over
that of state bodies under court de-
cisions in all cases where discrimina-
ton cannot be shown. it was pointed
out by commission officials, altho the
process of proving discrimination is
long and very technical.

Local Company Has Spent Only
$54,S87 in This City.
GAS LEAKAGE IS LARGE HERE
Amounted to 1,649,OOO Cubic
Feet Per Mile Last Year.
Increase of 100 Per Cent and
More in Wichita District.

Twenty eight towns served by the
Wichita Natural Gas company will pay
a minimum increase of 100 per cent
in gas rates under an order today by
Suoge Clyde NJ. Reed of the court OF
industrial relations. No immediate
changes will be made in Kansas Nat
Iural rates. Last minute action by the
court removed provisions calling for
slight increases for Topeka, Kansas
City, Lawrence, Leavenworth and
Atohison.
Cases of the Kansas Natural will be
held in abeyance pending repairs OF
distributing plants. A basis for leak
age absorption charges was fixed by
the court. Distributing companies
were also warned they must spend ex-
cess earnings for betterments before
further increases will be consider ed.
In the case of the Consumers Light,
Heat & Power company of Topeka,
this excess revenue is $23,S19.O2 above
increased improvements.
Largest Raise on Record.
The Wichita rate hike is the biggest
on, record 1t followed announcements
that the gas rate question was to be
worked out without the aid of expen-
sive lawyers. The new rate for the
twenty-eight towns is declared to be
in excess of requests by the company
when the original application was
filed with the public utilities commits
sion in 1919.
Under the order in the Wichita Nat
ural case, a zone rate is established
with rates ranging from approximate
ly so to SIS cents. At present all OF
the towns are paying a flat 30-cent
rate
No Hike in Topeka Now.
In Topeka and other Kansas Natural
towns future rate boosts are held in
allowance. No further increases will
be allowed. Judge Reeds opinion in
dicates, until Ieakages are reduced to
a minimum. Judge Booths standard
was $50, 900 cubic feet for each mile
of three-inch main. The Industrial
court followed this plan for basic
leakage and allows an absorption of
100000 cubic feet leakage per mile.
Judge Reeds opinion states that the
leakage of the Topeka distributing
company for the year ended June 80,
1920, was 1,649, 600 cubic feet per mile
of three-inch main. The lowest point
shown in a table covering seven years
was in 1917 when the leakage was
1,154.0O0 cubic feet per mile of main.
Leavenworth has ranged from 3,352,-
600 to 2,4410O0 per mile, while Atch-
ison showed a range of 1.e64,00 to
2,S93.00O cubic feet.
No Improvement Work.
All of the towns affected by the
Kansas Natural order are shown to
have failed to spend their excess earn
ings for betterments as provided under
