WIGHITA HUBBIES GET COLD MEALS in City Pighting Gas Raise Wichita, Kan, July 20 (® — Father went home to a cold dinner | in Wichita last night as thousands of | housewives observed the city's first | wgasless Tuesday” in protest against a schedule of higher gas rates order- | ed this month by the Wichita Gas | Co. Father learned, as he good-na- uredly protested absence of his cup | of hot coffee, that iced drinks, salads and other cold dishes would be the tamily menu each Tuesday for some weeks to come. Several days ago, after long liti- sation in the courts, the gas com- pany ordered a new schedule of | rates which, according to the com- pany's officials will mean the aver- age consumer will pay about a 22 per cent higher gas bill each month. The old rate was 58 cents for each '.Ylomeu 1,000 cubic feet, plus a 75-cent serv- | the largest residence in the World.| wyore his mother, Princess Helen of | ice charge monthly. The new rate for the average consumer of from 7,000 to 8,000 cubic feet a month is approximately 83 cents a 1,000. Taking matters in their own hands the city’s housewives, at the instiga- tion of the Federation of Women's clubs, decreed a “gasless Tuesday, and last night Mrs. John Maltbie, president, declared “thousands” of homes were without gas. “We are going to have more ‘gas- less Tuesdays' until we win our fight for lower rates,” she said. W. R. Phipps, manager of the Wichita Gas company, asserted there had been no noticeable decrease in the amount of gas used. A mass meeting of citizens at which public protest will be voiced against the new rates is scheduled for-Friday. The rate controversy is still pending in the local district court and the Kansas supreme court.

Gity of Defroit and Sculptor Both Wonder Detrolt, July 20.—UP—Who or- dered a statue of Tyrus Raymond Cobb, allegedly for erection on Belle Isle, the city's recreation center? The question was proving a mat- ter of concern to certain Detroiters today. Not the least of them was Mayor John W. Smith; his secretary Ed- | ward Speyer, and a Russian sculptor, | Nizon Tregor, who has completed a lite size head of Clay which he says and Mr. Cobb's features. Tregor contends he began work on |the bust after the mayor brought | Cobb to his studio while the Phila- | delphia Athletics were playing their first series here. Cobb posed for him | three mornngs following that time, |and then the sculptor followed him |to Chicago to continue the work, | Tregor added. | Now that the bust has been com- pleted, Tregor wants to know who | will furnish the $20,000 necessary to turn out a full length statue, if | that is what is wanted. Mayor Smith says he doesn’t know and Speyer, to whom has been de- | tailed the task of finding out, replies | ‘ ‘Search me." | It al came about a luncheon given | the former Tiger manager when he appeared here this spring for the first time with the Athletics. Some- body—nobody seems to know who— 1ggested the erection of the statue. he introduction of Tregor and Cobb followed.
