WILL FIGHT RATE INCREASE
Local Company Anxious to Continue
Present Charges to Consumer

Opposition to any increase in the
present gas rates was voiced this after
noon by T. F. Doran. attorney for the
Consumers Light, Heat & Power com
pany the local distributing firm
Doran stated it is the desire of the
Topeka company to continue the pres
ent rates to the consumer and that
any increase obtained by the Kansas
Natural probably would become the
object of litigation in the courts be-
fore it would be accepted by the dis
tributOrs
Action concerning the proposed in
crease is rather Indefinite at the pres
ent time, Mr.. Doran said. He pointed
out that it will first be necessary for
the public utilities commission to in
vestigate the rates and determine if
the new rate would be justifia BILE The
matter will be first threshed out before
the commission and perhaps in the
courts later if necessary, he indicated.

Budapest, April with the death
of Charles, crowned king of Hungary,
the provisional constitution which was
based on the fact that the king was
prevented from exercising his preroga-
tives, must be redrafted by the as
sembly about to be elected.
Further postponement of Hungary's
choice of a form of government has
become impossible and thru the COM
ing elections the people must decide
the question and elect a king if the
monarchial form is preferred.
Candidates for the throne include
Archdukes AIbrecht and Joseph Ferdi-
nand, but many deputies are reviving
the proposal for the election of an
English prince. The party favOring
Francis Joseph Otto, eldest son of the
dead monarch, however, is unquestion-
ably the strongest.
The indications are that Charles's
death has strengthened the position
of the government of Admiral Horthy,
the regent.
