REVEAL SOURCE.
OF MYSTERIOUS
P|TTENGER BILL
Representative 'Up~a Tree
on Whether or Not to
Introduce Measure.

Authorship of the so-called Pit
tenger bill, which would delay all
legislative action on public utility
matters for two years while five
members spend $40 900 making a ma
tional survey, was traced today to
Lawrence Cartwright, Republican
politician; Fred A. Simms, a utility
tax expert, and Representative Lem
uel A. Pittenger.
Monday Pittenger made a state
ment that the bill haO been handed
him by a mysterious stranger
whose name he could not remember.
Makes Denial
Later in the day he denied having
made any statement that it had been
given him by lobbyist for utilities.
Today his memory changed again.
Then it was disclosed that the
measure was drafted by Attorney
General Arthur L. Gilliom. who says
he drew it at the request of Cart
wright, Simms and Pittenger. In
the line of his duties Gilliom draws
many bills for members of the Legis-
lature and he says that he is draft
ing many on-utility subjects, diverse
in their nature. He does not pass
upon their advisability, but limits his
service to putting the suggestions
into legal form.
'TUp q Tree"
Pittinger found himself in a dilem-
ma today. If he fails to introduce
the bills, he fears that he may be
called cowardly by those who urged
this action. If he does introduce it..
his neighbors back home threaten to
call his action something equally TN
pleasant.
The activity of Cartwright. one of
the inner group of the Clyde Walb
machine, is interpreted as represent
ing the purpose of the dominant
machine to avoid an action which
would offend the utility lobby which
is working to prevent any change in
the public service commission or it's
powers.

FLOOD WATERS
in KANSAS Are
ABATED BY sun
IS City Blocks in Wichita
Are Inundated by Three
Feet of Water.

TOPEKA, Kans., Aug. II, %
While Kansas towns continued to
battle floods from raging streams late
today, a brightly shining sun that
stopped two weeks of heavy down.
pours gave promise that the end was
in sight.
Salina late today was fighting its
worst flood since 1908; seventy five
blocks in Wichita were inundated and
Hutchinson prepared for flooding
tonight as flood waters rushed to-
ward the town from the northwest.
Hundreds of homes in west and
North Salina were already surrounded
by water from dry creek today when
the Smoky Hill river rose suddenly,
broke its bounds and poured stream
into the east and southern sections
of the city.
Late today water was creeping to-
ward the center of the town, from
both the north and south. In some
low sections the water was up to the
second stories of houses and vir-
tually all families living west of the
Missouri Pacific railroad tracks were
forced to abandon their homes. 1t
w estimated that 1000 homes were
flooded in Salina.
The Big and Little Arkansas rivers
were approaching record levels at
Wichita where rs blocks of residen-
tial and industrial property in the
north section of the city were in
undated with from one to three feet
of water. IT
A combined stream of water from
the Arkansas river and Cow creek was
creeping down on Hutchinson and
was expected to .inundate residential
sections late today. The extent of
the probable flood there could not
be estimated
A cloudburst sent the Arkansas up
three feet in five hours at Great
Bend today and the crest swept on
down toward Ellinwood where the
stream was already out of it's banks.
The Cottonwood river was pouring
a new flood down toward Emporia
and threatening the sixth overflow
of the year following a seven inch rain
up stream Monday night.
