FAILS IN SOME HOMES;
PLANT OFFICIALS IN QUANDRY
The cold wave which now hold 3 the
country in its grip has dealt a stagger
ing blow to the Richmond Light, Heat
& Power company. ThiB fact ia ad
mitted by company officials.
With the almost complete exhaust
ion of the city's natural gas supply
the Light, Hent & Power company has,
of course, suffered a considerable loss
in business.
Many people who have been using
t&n in their furnaces have had their
meters taken out and are now using
ccal. For tho most part these people
are ones who had an emergency supply
of coal on baud.
Can't Get Coal Supply.
People who have depended upon fas
to heat their home and who neglected
to secure a reserve supply of coal are
now realizing that it is almost as diffi
cult to secure coal as it is to obtain
an adequate amount of gas.
Answering complaints of some of
the gas consumers because the com
pany had not completely shut off its
inadequate natural ga3 supply and
turned artificial pas into the mains
Manager N. H. Johnson of the Light,
Heat & Power company said that un
der existing conditions not as good
rerviee could be given with artificial
gas as with natural pas.
The maximum pressure which can
be provided for artificial gas is 1
ounces compared with a two ounce
pressure the natural gas was showing
at 11 o'clock this morning. Artificial
gas provides 600 heat units compared
to 1,050 for natural gas.
Makes Service , Impossible.
With many homes using gas in fur
naces, heating stoves and grates, and
r.o practical method of requiring gas;
to be used only in cooking ranges, j
Manager Johnson points out that the
i;mall pressure which could be r.ro
vlded for artificial gas would make
Kuch service much worse than now
r-btained from natural gas.
Johnson put the question of shut
ting off the natural gas and turning
artificial gas into the mains up toj
Mayor Robbins and City Attorney
Hond today and both agreed with him
that it would be best for the time being
to continue the use of the natural sup-
p'y- . . .
Although It means a loss or business
we are advising patrons who have
been using natural gas for heating
purposes to cut ot our service and
use coal providing they have coal to
use," Johnson said.
Hope Depends on Weather.
I do not believe there wiH ba a
complete exhaustion of the natural gas
this winter but its a cinch the service
now obtaining won't be any better
than it now is so long as this kind of
weather continues."
When the second largest peak period
of the day came, at noon, the dinner
hcur, there was not enough gas in
many homes . for cooking purposes.
The heaviest peak of the day comes
about 6 o'clock in the evening and
when that peak arrives today the gas
thortage will probably be much great
er than it was at noon.
Richmond is the only Indiana city
receiving a gas supply from the West
Virginia fields which has any gas to
day.
There was barely enough gas in the
Palladium pipes today to operate the
machinery in the composing and press
rooms.
Hardware stores report a brisk busi
ness today in the sale of coal oil and
gasoline stoves.
PRISONER MAKES
WEAPON TO BEAT
TURNKEY AT JAIL
Use an Axe
on Gas Meter
"I ain't getting no gas, can't get a
flame in the kitchen range, but the
gas meter is keeping right on the
Job and I want to know how to stop
it," said an irate citizen over the po
lice department telephone today.
"Maybe the gas eompany can tell
you how to stop the meter. The only
way I know of is to use an axe on it,"
replied Sergeant McNally.
A well outlined plan for a jail de
livery has been thwarted by Sheriff
Carr. A towel holding a piece of brick
which had been extracted from the jail
wall was found in a vacant cell.
James Hollingsworth who was re
cently taken to the state prison ,to
serve a sentence for embezzlement in
formed a deputy sheriff that Willard
Hart, colord, a convicted prisoner, had
made a sling-shot out of a towel and
brick with the Intention of "knocking
out" the turnkey, James Blythe, thus
paining possession of keys which
would enable him to escape. A search
revealed the crude weapon.
The suspected man was thrown into
the "dog" cell and questioned. He
claimed to have no knowledge of the
affair. Since all men suspected of
having any connection with the affair
have received prison sentences on oth
er counts, the investigation will be car
ried no further.

"For some time past I have been

ly any appetite sluggish circulation
was nervous and did not, sleep well.
Have taken less than a bottle of
Sweet's Vitalis and from the very be
ginning felt the good effects. There
1s a wonderful improvement in my
condition and I feel that the use of it
for a while longer will restore my
former good health and vigor. I glad
ly recommend it to anyone in the con
dition I was in.

out quite a sum of money, but did not
get beneficial results. Was in a very
nervous condition and my sleep !id
not seem to give any real rest. In I
fact, would get up in the morning feel
ing almost as tired as when I retired.
Suffered with pains In my back and
my arms hurt me so at times that I
could not do my housework. I saw

some. After using less than one bot

my third bottle and am feeling fine. 1
