Woodring said today his negotia- tions with Henry L. Doherty, utilities magnate, for lower gas rates in Kansas | had been ended and that the contro- versy now would be fought out in the | courts. The Governor said he would not reply to a telegram from Doherty attacking ‘Woodring for the action of the Kansas banking department in barring from sale in the State all Cities Service Co. curb stocks, except the company’s first preferred issue. Woodring has sought to obtain reduction from 40 to 30 cents a thou- sand cubic feet in city rates charged to local gas distributing companies. He sald he was more concerned with Jower gas rates for the majority of the citizenry of this State than with the interests of several thousand people in Kansas owning stock in his (Doherty’s) Cities Service companies.” Blames Newspaper. The New York utilities magnate, a telegram to the Governor yesterday, placed on the Kansas City Star re- sponsibility for an order issued last week by the Kansas Banking Depart- ment withdrawing its approval from all Cities Service curb stock except its first_preferred and barring such stock from further sale in Kansas. Both Woodring and executives of the Star declined to comment immediately. The Banking Department temporarily has been restrained by the Shawnee County, Kans., District Court from putting into effect its order barring sale of the Doherty securities in the State.

TELEGRAM NOT RECEIVED. Brown Says Usual Investigation Will Follow Any Complaint. By the Associated Press.

Newspaper Says Public Is Only Con- cerned With Rates. KANSAS CITY, July Kansas City Star, replying today to a telegram in which Henry L. Doherty, Cities Service Co. head. attacked Gov Woodring of Kansas and the Star for a campaign in behalf of reduced gas rates in Missouri and Kansas, said: The public is not what Mr. Doherty thinks of Gov. Wood- ring and the Star, or what Gov. Wood- ring and the Star think of Mr. Doherty What the public is concerned with is the extc gas. * “In the last few years the public has seen commodity prices sink and sink. But gas remains at war prices. “The present 40-cent gate was fixed when the supply was scant when prices at the wells were high, when s was expected and the rates had to carry heavy amortization charges on the pipe lines, when transportation of gas from the flelds was wasteful and costly. All these conditions have changed. N “Texas and Oklahoma consumers are getting the benefit of reduced costs. In Oklahoma consumers are paying a max- imum of 50 cents. A few miles north in Kansas the Doherty companies jump the rate to an average of 85 cents and at Kansas City to $i. ) Under River Proposed to Parliament.
