A feed line of the Kansas Natural was torn open by the lightning, but the town of Colony is in no immediate danger. Grant Colby of Iola, owner of the well, is in charge of efforts to extinguish the fire. Heavy rain accompanied the electric storm. I "Harold Whidden, the reporter who had an experience of his own when he went to interview those of the MacDonald family," continued O'Brien, "was completely carried awajr by his enthusiasm and really believed that a ghost slapped him." Widden slapped, his 'own face when he suddenly walked in from a temperature of 25 blow zero and his numbed arm become suddenly suffused with good warm blood," O'Brien said. "Take a map, trace the line, apply your scientific knowledge of wireless operation, study the curious effects of electrical currents in fire on ships and on land, and you have the solution of the fires charged against the ghost of Antigonish."

NEW SCHOOL CLERKS Supt. O. J. Lane Fills Two Vacancies FOR A NEW HOTEL PROPOSAL OF ARCHITECTS HEARD BY C. OF C.

BOARD T0DAV ON SITE OF ELDRIDGE Preliminary Estimate Is That 100-Room Hotel Can Be Built for $233,000 Would Include Wrecking and Removal of the Present Eldridge Hotel A more definite discussion of a new hotel project for Lawrence than had ever been held previously took place at the weekly conference of the 'board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce today. The discussion today proceeded an the assumption that the new building would be raised on the site of the present Eldridge house. Mr. Wiser of the firm of Shep-pard Wiser of Kansas City presented the proposal of his firm which specializes in the promotion and financing of hotel properties. His general suggestion, which can not be replaced by a definite proposal until after a survey has been made, was that a lOQ-roon hotel could be built in Lawrence on the site of the Eldridge house for $225,000.

That figure Included the wrecking and removal of the old building. W. G. Hutson, proprietor of the Eldridge house was present at the meeting today and the large attendance of members of the board indicated their interest in the subject for discussion. It is likely that one result of the conference today will be to consolidate all support for a new hotel in Lawrence behind a single project, which most of the bnsiness men believe must be done before there can be an active expectation of success.

CAN BUY IT AT HOME Handsome Catalogue From Kansas City Concern Offers no Attraction The publisher of the Journal-World, who belongs to the large family of Ford owners, is in receipt of an attractive catalog from a Kansas City concern offering ior saie rora accessories, it win be the natural inclination for many, receiving this catalog to send in orders, forgetful for the moment ofthe fact that the Ford agency In Lawrencearries- all of these received direct from the factory in large lots and for sale at bottom prices. Money sent to Kansas City may help to support schools, build parks or go into A. riotuous living at ransas uy, out it doesn't help any in Lawrence. On the other hand the local dealer pays taxes here, hires men who make their homes in Lawrence and thus helps to maintain a local market for Douglas county products. One more thing that is worthy of keeping in mind.

The building up of home enterprises enables a man to- get supplies when needed at home, while the policy long continued of sending away, eventually would lead to the doing away with local supply points, and would make the' public entirely do-pendent upon, the city for its sup- GRADUATE NURSES TO MEETTOMORRO Second District Organization Will Quarterly Meeting at City Hall The quarterly meeting of the graduate nurses association of the second district of Kansas will ba held in Lawrence Tuesdoy evening, March 14, in the Mayor's office at the city hall.

Edward J. O'Brien, scientist and author, declared today that the ghost of Antigonish was in reality the product of electrical energy. After a month of investigation in the Nova Scotia country O'Brien said he found that strong, wireless currents between the two great radio stations at Wellfleet, and Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, ran through the valley at Caledonia Mills where stands the home of Alexander MacDoriald, scene of the events. "The MacDonald's," he said, "will have to move their house but of Tange of these powerful radio currents if they wish to avoid the ghost-like incidents. If not, the house may be burned down whe the atmospheric conditions are just right, as they apparently were when the fires were set around the barn."

Government officials were represented today as being without hope that the threatened coal strike can be averted or that the proposed conference beween operators and miners would be arranged. It was indicated that the government's intervention, at least in the preliminaries of the situation, was practically at an end. Holding that a strike call April 1 is almost inevitable, government officials, according to the views presented today on high authority, now are chiefly interested in seeing that a sufficient supply of coal is maintained for the country as a whole. Present Available Supply The situation with respectto a sufficient supply of coal, it was stated on the same authority, is not acute. There now is at the surface of coal mines and in stocks at consuming centers, it was declared, enough coal to last the country for ten weeks with the prospect, it was added, that this supply will be augmented by production from non- union mines and from operators in union territory which department of labor reports show are covered by district settlements between the miners union and local associations of mine operators.

"The degree of the government's intervention in this strike situation," a high official today declared in explaining the policy agreed on, "must be determined by the extent of the public inconvenience and suffering which is caused by the It was intimated that the government did not propose to enter upon any attempt to force a conference between the operators and the mines, or by legal or other means. Says Operators Bound Secretary of Labor Davis has gone as far as he intends to go in that direction, it was said, by repeatedly and publicity pointing out that the gYWPinent considers the mine operators of the central competitive field to be bound by provisions of the existing national wage contract to enter negotiations for making a substitute national contract ready to apply April 1 when the old one expires. Comment was withheld today upon the possibility that railroad labor unic.is might be drawn into the struggle after April 1, but there were indications that the fMeral agents did not consider this action as an imminent factor in the situation. JUDGE REED CARES NAUGHT FOR JOB Not a Candidate 'for Assistant Postmaster General and Wouldn't Have It In a letter received' by the Journal-World today, Judsre Clyde Reed of the Public Utilities commission declares that he is not in the race for either of the positions now open for an assistant postmaster general. Topeka politicians since the judges announcement of his with drawal from the srovenorshiD race.

have been spreading rumor that he was an applicant for, or was being spoken of in Washington for one of the assistant postmaster- shios. vacated since the resignation or win Hays. In his letter Judire Reed declares that he is not only not a candidate for an assistant postmaster general ship but that he would not accept one of the pmces if they were of fered him. He goes farther and declares that within the last thirty davs he has said as much to "some folks in Washington" who had spoken to him on the subject. In addition to his experience as a newspaoer man and in Kansas politics.

Judge Reed has been a superintendent of a mail division in Ohio and it may Je that this chapter of his career the "talk" of his candidacy for an assistant postmaster generalship.

A BETTER PHONE BOOK Lawrence, Kansas Issues a Much Better One Than Lawrence, Mass. So often do errors occur in shipping addresses in which Lawrence, Kansas and Lawrence, Massachusetts are confused, that the express office in Lawrence supplies itself with a copy of the telephone directory from Lawrence, Massachusetts, in order that it may the more easily redirect missent packages received here. In looking over the directory from Massachusetts, Manager Maxwell, of the Lawrerice express office, was surprised to see how badly it compared with the directory used by the Kansas Telephone company in Lawrence.

It is not as complete, is printed upon poor paper and in small type and is not nearly so attractive nor useful a book. The Journal-World shares in this compliment as it has publish ed the directory in Lawrence for many years.
