Public Utilities Commission Makes
Decision in Great Bend Case.


Under a ruling of the public utili-
ties commission franchises with Kan
saS towns and cities before enactment
of the public utilities act in 1911 cah-
not be modified or altered by the COM
mission at this time. The decision OF
the commission came in cases affect
ing rates of public utilities in Great
Bend and Hoisington.
In the case of the Interstate Elec-
trio company which does business in
Great Bend and Hoisington, the COM
mission held that its franchise con-
tract was made in 1914-three years
after the utilities law was passed
and for this reason the commission
had jurisdiction to fix and regulate
rates. The case of the Great Bend
Water and Electric company, tho, was
held to be a matter beyond the juris-
diction of the commission. The water
company made its contract with the
city of Great Bend in 190S-preceding
passage of the public utilities act
and under the decision cannot be
altered or changed

The votes cast for acceptance of the
entente terms were from the centrist.
democratic independent socialist and
majority socialist party. The nation
alists, German peoples party, COM
munists and the Bavarian peoples
party were opposed to the plans of the
ministry, as announced by the new
chancellor.
Must Avoid Occupation.
In his address Doctor Wirth empha-
sized the tremendous burden Germany
would assume in agreeing to meet the
entente terms but insisted the alterna-
tive of French occupation of the Ruhr
valley would completely cripple Ger
man industrial life and demoralize the
country
The allies demand in brief was
payment by June 1 OF the one billion
gold marks due on May /, trial of
German officers and soldiers accused
of crimes during the war, complete
disarmament of the military, naval
and aerial arms of Germany's service,
and ultimate payment of $33,750, 0,00O,-
600 in reparations.
The reparations obligation would be
paid in installments of approximately
$4S5,OOO,000 per year. in addition to
25 per cent of the value of Germany's
exports.
Since the announcement of the new
German ministry there has been some
speculation as to it's stability. The
.Ruhr district and ominous events
in Silesia might have been effective
in dampening enthusiasm yesterday
but the session of the reichstag at
which the new cabinet presented itself
was without demo nstration and was

Wirth Understudy of Erzbcrger.
Dr. Wirth has been often considered
an understudy of Matthias Erzberger,
former minister of finance, and is be-
lieved to be determined to carry out
the latter's financial policy, which
are unpopular with the members of
the German peoples party and even
prominent democrats.
Announcement by Doctor Wirth
that the ministry of finance was await
ing an occupant, prompted several
deputies to interject the name of Err
berger. and there were many observ-
ers last night who predicted the resur-
rection of ErZberger. Their convic-
tion on this point was made stronger
by the fact that the Centrist party has
secured a dominating influence in the
government
Will Handle Foreign Affairs.
Wirth assumed the portfolio of for
eisn affairs in addition to the chan
cellorship. but it is understoo / he may
retire from the conduct of Germany s
relations with other countries. 1t was
said today that a permanent foreign
minister might not be selected until
after the allied u1timatum had been
accepted.
Among those mentioned for the
place were Doctor Won Belger, German
minister to the vatican, and DR.. Carl
Bergman. under secretary of the min
istry of finance, who has represented
the government at various reparations
conferences.

New Chancellor Declared Ruhr

Berlin, May 11.-Germany's reply to
the allied ultimatum, accepting the
terms laid down by the allied supreme
council in London, is confined to a
repetition of the exact terms of the
decisions of the allies with regard to
guarantees, disarmament, the trial of
war criminals, and financial condi-
tions. The reply states that Germany
-adheres Internationally to these de-
cisions.
This reply was sent to the allied
capitals for transmission to the heads
of the allied governments after the
cabinet headed by DR.. julius Wirth,
the new chancellor, had received what
amounted to a vote of confidence in
the reichstag last night, in that body's
decision to accept the allied ultima
