May be worse than ever. Laoton Hat Been Asked to Lead the Fight on Standard Oil. Topoka, Kan., Feb. 14. Thomas W. Lavson, of "Frentied Finance" fame, may lead the movement to drive the Standard Oil company from. Kansas The Oil Producer' association, of Cha- nute, today forwarded an invitation to the Boston man to Interest himself tn tH refining of oil in this state. The association adopted the invitation unanimously and insist that Mr. law on will be given the hearty support of the people of Kansas. Tae plan of the association la to have Lawson and the Pure Oil company, of Pennsylvania, take up the refining of crude petroleum and the manufacture of its by-product in opposition to the Standard Oil corporation. The Pure Oil company is said to be the strongest competitor of the Standard Oil company in the United States. Dispatches from the oil field tonight say the statement of Manager O'Brien, of the Standard Oil company, that bus iness in Kansas would be continued, is false, that there is a complete shut- down throughout the oil belt. This ha intensified the indignation of the people and members of the legis lature, and the passage of the anti- Standard bills by the house Wednes day is assured. . Thousand of letter from over the state have been received by member urging them to pass the state refinery bill. INTENSE COLD IN COLORADO. Russian Official Say Seed of Revo lution i In Jhe Army. London, Feb. 11. There ia danger of the Russian strike breaknig out afresh and in a worse form than the present trouble, according to' the Co pehnagen correspondent of the Morning Leader. The propaganda being carried on by the Russian Piojressive party, the cor respondent asserts, ha been most suc cessful. The police admit that there are no sign of an abatement of the agitatin, while a high official in the Russian capital fears the trouble will yet assume the proportions of a general uprising, much bigger than the last. "The seed of revolution," he adds, "ha been sown among the soldiers with apparent success." This last statement is most sinister. Had even a portion of the troops joined the strik ers when the trouble first started, Rus sia would undoubtedly now be in the throes of a revolution equaling, if not surpassing, the French revolution. Even yet, should the disaffection obtain deep root in the army, the outcome would be appalling. Storm Shut Off Electricity. Louisville, Feb. 11. While condi tions resulting from the long continued rain and sleet storm show a slight im provement in the Southwest today, there is no betterment of the situation from the Mississippi to the Atlantic coast.

Railroad traffic is impeded in Kansas by the high wind, which has piled the snow in the railroad cuts.
