TO GO TO us. SUPREME COURT
P. Q. c. To Test Court Order in Kan
sas Natural Gas Case.

The state public utilities commission
will go to the United States supreme
court in an effort to determine its
right to control rates fixed by the
Kansas Natural Gas company. Fred
S. Jackson. attorney for the commits
sion, announced today that an appeal
would be taken Immediately from the
decision of the United States district
court, holding that Kansas could not
interfere with plans of the Kansas Ma
tural to increase rates a nickel at city
gates.
Under the ruling of Judge Pollock
the Kansas commission was without
authority to interfere. 1t was held
that the producing company was en-
gagged in interstate commerce and that
its actions could not be regulated by
the state. The state supreme court
in test case held that the authority
to regulate rates remained in the state.
Now the Kansas commission will
so to the highest tribunal to test
validity of the court order enjoining
its interference with Kansas Natural
rates. If it wins it will be permitted
to control increase in rates to dis
tributing companies. If it loses its
control will be limited to Jurisdiction
over rates which distributing COM
panies charge consumers

PHONE CASE IS APPEALED
Six Towns Affected by Action Taken
by Kansas P. q. G. s

The telephone rate case involving
six Kansas towns is going back to the
supreme court. The case which af-
fects the towns of Atchison, Arkansas
City, tEIdorado, Hutchinson, Lyonssa and
Winfield, was today appealed to the
state supreme court by the public util-
tiles commission. The appeal was
taken from an order by the Shawnee
county district court affirming a re-
port by George T., McDermott, ap-
pointed as commissioner in the case. z
Nearly two years ago the public
utilities commission denied an applica-
ton of the Southwestern Bell com
pany for permission to increase rates
in the cities affected. Following a long
drawn out hearing the wire company
enjoined interference by the comn1is-
sion- The commission then sought to
enjoin the rate increase.
AS a result of much litigation both
in district courts and the supreme
court. Judge George H. Whitcomb ap-
pointed McDermott to take testimony
and make findings as to facts and
conclusions of law. His report was
favorable to the telephone company.
1t was upheld by the district court
and the rate increase became effec-
tive. The utilities commission today
appealed the case to me supreme
court charging that the rate increase
was unjust, unwarranted and not sup
ported by evidence concerning the
revenues and expenses of the Bell
company in the six towns.
The McDermitt report went into the
question of earnings in the various
towns in detail

VETO Will STAND
Senate To Sustain Presidents
Action, Is Report.
Harding Gives Definite Assur-
ance of Opposition.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Sufficient
votes in the senate to sustain a presi-
Dental veto of the bonus bill were de-
clared assured today after a canvass
of the senate by the advisers of the
president, who gave out the informa-
ton Sunday that he had determined
to disapprove the measure.
Definite assurance that President
Harding will veto the soldiers bonus
bill went from the White House to-
day to senate leaders at the capital.
Senator James A. Watson, Repub-
lican, of Indiana, an administration
leader and himself bonus advocate,
after seeing the president, carried
word to the capital that the president
would send up azveto message prob
ably tomorrow. 7
Gain New Convert
Anti-bonus ranks in the senate
gained another convert this afternoon
when Senator Weller, Republican, of
Maryland, wired from Los Angeles
asking to be paired in support of the
presidents expected veto of. the bonus
bill. Weller did not vote on 1he
measure itself.
A senatorial roundup was under
way as word reached the capital that
President Harding would veto the bill
and return it to congress with a
vigorous message outlining his rea-
sons why he cannot accept it.
The president is understood to have
called upon Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon for data upon which to base
his veto message
Republican leaders expect the presi-
dents veto message tomorrow. Pres
ident Harding, they said, probably
would forego the opportunity to ap-
pear personally before the congress.
Senator Mccormick, of, Illinois. Re
publican chairman of the senatorial
Adams, chairman of the Republican
national committee, conferred with
President Harding at the white house
for an hour. They were reported to
have discussed the political effect of
/ the bonus veto.

A MINISTER BREAKS JAIL
Rev. j. G. Trotter, Held for Wife De-
sertion, Saws Way Out

McAlester, Okla. Sept. 1s.-Rev. ].
c. Trotter. held on charges of en-
bezzling funds from Brooks institute
at Hartshorne. Okla, and wife de-
sertion, escaped from the Pittsburgh
county Jail here last night. The bars
to his cell were found sawed in two
by the jailer when he made an in
spection early today. The minister
was in his cell at midnight.
Officials at the Jail said an outer
window, thru which the minister is
believed to have left the Jail, had
been tampered with. They expressed
the opinion that Trotter had paved
the way for his escape while enjoying
certain liberties allowed him in his
capacity of Jail cook.
Trotter is wanted by Kentucky au-
thorities on a fugitive warrant, ac-
cording to advices received by officials
here.
He was arrested a month ago at
Eufaula, Okla, in company with Miss
Audrey Campbell, pretty head nurse
at the hospital at Brooks institute
Both were accused of shortage of
funds, but this charge against Miss
Campbell was dismissed later
