Ne Thinks, That Even From Them It Can Be Shovm That Gus Can Be Furnished Mare Cheaply. [eu At a recent meeting of the subcommit-, tee of the Senate District committee in charge of the‘ dollar gas bill Senator Faulkner asked Mr. W. C. Dodge, who then appeared tn behalf of the gas con- sumers, to furnish him with a statement, after examining the figures given by the gas company in the House report upon the same bill. Mr. Dodge has sent a letter to Mr. Faulkner, as a result of his scrutiny of the statistics furnished by the company to the House committee, and says that he is satisfied that they do not show the real facts of the case. He continues: “I would not take figures or statements prepared by interested parties, but would have a committee of disinterested experts to examine and report on the whole matter —the actual cost of producing and dis- tributing the gas, and the actual value of the plant, as was proposed by the bill re- ported by the Senate committee in 185 With that information before it, together with a history of the company’s operations to date, Congress could legislate intelli- gently. I would, however, call attention to the statement of the president of the com- pany, on page 57 of the House report. He there gives the receipts of the company Yor the year 183 as $1,135,300.60, and its expenses as $970,777.07. But when asked to give the expenses more in detail they foot up but $800,037 (a discrepancy of $10: 740.57), notwithstanding he includes as ex- penses $200,000 for dividends and $59,500 tor extension of the works, whatever that may mean. Even then, there is a surplus of $206,268.00, after paying 10 per cent dividend on. $2,000,000 of stock. “If the ‘extension of the works’ means an extension of the gas works or plant, it obviously should not be included in the cost of the gas for that year, because it 18 @ permanent investment in property, the use of which they have forever after, and on which they pay no taxes; for, as stated by Mr. Mcllhenny, they are not taxed on their real estate. The most that should be included in regard to extensions would be the interest on their cogt, and that 1s in- cluded—the item being $72,000 interest on the $1,200,000 of bonds, the proceeds: of which, they say, was used in the extension of their works. From this showing tt is apparent that the figures presented by the company are not a proper basis of action. ‘The reason for this is shown in the follow ing: “Expense items from President McLean's statement (page 57) for 1803 Repatrs . Interest on $1,200,000 bonds (@ per cent) Extension Coal and oll.. Wages and salaries. Taxes, water rents and licenses..... 40,000 Dividends (10 per cent on $2,000,000). 200,000 Street lamps, distribution and gen- eral expenses 14,000 New _ laboratory plumber . cone Purifying materials Insurance . Rents . Relief fund. an Expenses . Receipts. $1,135, Expenses. 860,03) $266,268.60 profit after paying 6 per cent on $1,200,000 bonds and 10 per cent dividend on $2,000,000, Cost of gas per 1,0) cubic feet (est! mating production at 900,000,000), 06° 1 cents, when dividend, $200,000; extensions, 500; interest, $72,000, and all other rges are included as expense. “The dividend (profit) {s obviously no proper expense item, and, omitting divi- dend, $200,000, the expenses would be $669,037, which, deducted from _ the ceipts, $1, 15.60, would leave $466,26 surplus, nearly half a million! “The cost of gas per 1,000 cubic feet on basis of expenses of $669,037 and _produc- tion of 900,000,000 cubic feet would be 7 cents. At $1 per thousand this would lezve the company 26 cents, a profit of over 38 1-3 per cent. But, ever giving che com- pany the benefit of every possible charge or expense, $869,037 (including $72.40, 6 per cent interest on $1,200,000, and $200,000, 10 per cent dividend on 100,400), the profit on {k),000,000 cubic. feet of gas, if sdld at $1 per thousand, would amount to $31,500. But there are many other points that should be considered. First. Is not 10 per cent an exorbitant dividend on a public necessity, of which they have an absolute inonopoly, avd in eftect fer all time? What railroad company or cther corporation hav- ing a monopoly of a public necessity pays. such a dividend? Then, too, it is a busi- ness that-increases more rapidly than any other. In 1885 they sold 527,000,000 feet, and in 18% it was nearly double that amount, as they state. “Second. As shown by their own state- ments, both in the former and present investigation, this 10 per cent Is paid not on capital invested, but upon watered stéck. On page 62 the secretary of the company states distinctly that ihe $500,000 increase of stock in 1866 represents, not capital invested, but money taken from the earnings ef the company—that is, from the profits of the business. Three times has this been done, the last distribution of certificates being $600,000, as stated on page 00. “This is confirmed by the statements of the officers of the company in 1886, so elearly so that the company in its report, page 3, says: “It is difficult to resist the suspicion aris- ing from an examination of the sumsherein- before given as alleged increase of capital from 1872 to 1883, aggregating $800,000; that they represent nothing else than stock di- vidends,’ and that was from the profits in addition to the dividends paid of 16 5-8 per Sg from 1848 to 1881, and still higher to 885. . “In 1883,’ as the report states, ‘over $650,000 were divided among the stockhold- ers,’ which was also from the profits.

Con- tributions thankfully recelved. Many families are more comfortable today on account of the stated in Senate report 1460, first session, Forty-ninth Congress, the company did not, and could not, show that it had ever in- vested over $500,000 capital, and yet was paying these enormous dividends—in 1874, 55 per cent on $2,000,000 stock. Does the com- mittee think it right and proper that the company should use the profits of the busi= ress—the money taken from the public—to increase its plant, issue stuck to represent that increase, and then charge the public for this necessity enough to enable them to pay these enormous dividends on the stock thus created? Js that fair and just tothe public? “Third, they tell you what we all know, that the cost of making gas aas decreased materially of late years, and yet they Present you figures which make it cost more now than they claimed that it cost in 18X6. Then, as they said, they made two- thirds coal gas and one-third water gas, whereas, now they say it is two-thirds wa- ter gas and but one-third coal gas, and that they make water gas because it is cheaper to make than coal gus. “Clearly, they misrepresented the facts then or now. My opinion is that they mis- represented the facts both then and now, and that an investigation by disinterested parties will show it heyond a question. It is utterly absurd for them to pretend, as they do in the figures presented, that gas here costs from $1.04 to $1.59 per 1,000 feet, when, as I have shown you from official sources, in Philadelphia a private company has built its plant, laid its mains, bought its materials, paid its salaries and wages, in fact, has done everything this company does, except in the length of mains laid and taking state of the meters, and yet makes the gas and sells it to the city for 37 cents per 1,000 feet. It has done this for years, and it is so profitable that others have offered to do it for less. It is ridiculous in the light of such facts to pre- tend that gas costs any such sum. “The pretense that gas costs so much more here because of the difference in price of coal and of the residuals is equally absurd, The difference in the price of coal is a mere trifte, and in many places it Is much higher than here, while the residuals are a regular article of commerce now, and command substantially the same price all cver the country. When, as I have shown, no less than three large companies in England distill coal simply for the resid- uals, letting the gas escape, and ship the residuals in whole or in part to this coun- try, it is idle to pretend that there is no sele for the residuals. How is it that gas is furnished at so small a place as West Point at 7 cents per 1,000. if it costs so much here? Every one knows, and the | company admits, that it can be furnished much cheaper in large than in smail queu- titles, and the. amount made here is many times that at West Point, and most of the eighteen cities where it ts sold for a dollar and twelve other cities where it is sold for still less, as shown on page 44 of the report. “In 1886 the company, as now, asserted that they could not reduce the price with- out ruin, and yet when Congress adjourn- ed, to prevent further action by Congress, they reduced the price 25 cents, and have gone right on paying 10 per cent net cash dividends.” In conclusion, he says: “If this commit- tee is not willing to take the conclusions of the Senate committee of 1886 and the House committee of last sesston, both of which investigated the subject far more fully than this committee has, especially the former Senate committee, then I hes to suggest that the proper thing to do would be to provide for a full and com- plete investigation by disinterested ex- perts, to the end that Congress may have the actual facts and be prepared to legis- late intelligently and in a manner that ve be just to the company and the pub- 1c.” —_—=__.

The election of officers resulted in the choice of Dr. R. A. Daniel, president; Miss Mc- Keever, vice president; Julius Ulke, jr., secretary, and Miss Flora Bell, treasurer. After spending a very pleasant evening the meeting adjourned, to meet at the resi- dence of Miss Cassie Adams, Tuesday, Feb- ruary 12.

Several days later it was discovered at the home of the de fendant, nearby, who claimed that he bought it from a friend, one James Jack- son. Jackson was not produced during the trial, and the jury concluded that it was another case of “no sich person.” In re Elsie | ABOUT MR. MAXWELL How He Came to Be Made So:icitor Gon- eral, Suggested by His Predecessor — His Conduct of the Oflice. The cause of the resignaticn of Mr. Max- well, solicitor general of the United States, has already received various explanations. However accurate the various reports may be, there are some circumstances connect- ed with the original appointment of Mr. N. Maxwell to that office, which have never been published, which may throw some light upon the independent qualities of the man who has voiuntarily surren- dered the office which ranks only next to that of Attorney General, and which is a position always much sought by some of the most distinguished lawyers of the country. The attitude of Mr. Maxwell in resigning may, perhaps, be better under- stood if the circumstances under which he was appointed are known. Mr. Maxwell was originally a republican. He went over to the liberal party in 1: when the lib- eral movement, which had one of its head- quarters at Cincinrati, was organized. He has remained with the democratic party since that time. Mr. Maxwell is a com- paratively young man, and is too young to be a Bourbon in either party. He was, it is believed, first called to the attention of the President and of the Attorney Gen- eral at the instance of ex-Solicitor General Aldrich of Chicago, who was a classmate of Mr, Maxwell and who has been his life- time friend. Circumstances of His Appointment. When the Attorney General entered upon his office he informed Mr. Aldrfth, as has been stated, that he very greatly regretted that politics should enter into the Depart- ment of Justice, and that he would be very much pleased to have Mr. Aldrich retain the position of solicitor general. That Mr. Aldrich declined to do, except for so long a period as was necessary to enable the President to select a person satisfactory to him and to the Attorney General for that. Position. Some extended inguiries made, but no person was suggest who seemed eatisfactory both to the At- torney General.and to the President. Final- jy Mr. Aldrich. was requested, it is under- stood, in the first instance by the Attorney General and subsequently by the Presi- dent, to suggest the name of some lawyer suitable for the place. Attorney General Olney at that time, it is said, suggested that {t did not materially matter t¢ him what the politics of the person named might be. Mr. Aldrich suggested the name of Mr. Maxwell as his successor. He in- formed the President and the Attorney General as to the capabilities of Mr. Max- well, and told him, what the Supreme Court of the United States will gladly tes- fy to as the truth, that he is an exceed- ingly able, competent, fearless and ener- getic lawyer, and well qualified for the Position which he has voluntarily declined. Mr. Maxwell, upen the direct suggestion of Mr. Aldrich, for neither the Attorney Gen- eral nor the President had ever heard of him before, was appointed to this position. Mr. Brice as a Sponsor. The Cincinnati papers, when the sugges- tion was made that Mr. Maxwell might be appointed solicitor general, were quick to come out with the announcement that he was to be appointed upon the recommen- dation of Senator Brice of Ohio. But, as a matter of fact, Senator Rrice of Ohio did not know that the President and the At- torney General had the name of Mr. Max- well under favorable consideration until after the decision was reached to appoint him. Mr. Brice had ‘an entirely different candidate for the office. Kut Mr. Brice is not slow in politics, and he chose, it is said, to become the political father of Mr. Maxwell so soon as he was convinced that Mr. Maxwell was to be appointed. Mr. Maxwell, since he entered upon the office, has endezvored to conduct it upon strict legal principics. He has been ex- tremely successful. His advocacy of the interests of the government has been in- telligent and powerful, and has met with the approval of the United States Supreme Court, before which he almost exclusively appeared. The Income Tax Cases. If the reports are true that the Attorney General did not desire to have the United Stateg Supreme Court reach an ea.ly de- cision as to the constitutionality of the income tax law, but preferred to have that case take the ordinary slow course’ through the courts, it will be seen that the policy of Attorney General Olney, if the United states Supreme Court is still three years in arrcars with its business, would be that a final decision should not be reached un- ul the expiration of President Cleveland's term of office. By that time the in2>>me tax law would have been in operation three years, and it, possibly, would not do the party in power much harm, if the Supreme Court should then decide that law to be unconstitutional. sot: ho LOCAL SCHOOL FACILITIES. Thousunds of Children Cannot Be Ac- commodated in the Buildings. A few days ago Senator Gallinger intro- duced in the Senate a resolution calling for information from the Commissioners in regard to the public school facilities of the city, in order, as he said at the time,that the Senate might be placed in possession of the facts, and thereby be able to form a more accurate judgment of the school needs of the ci The committee on edu- cation of the Civic Center, of which Annie H. Barus is chairmai, has been investi- gating to some extent the school facilities of the city, and to a Star reporter she stated the result of the investigation as follows: “A study of the figures to be found in the offices of the superintendents of our schools shows that at the beginning of the present school year there were 3,655 more children enrolled on the books than could be seated, and this apart from the fact that a large number of the ‘ower grade rooms had been convert-d into half-day schools to meet the demend for seats. “Four thousand focr hundred and sixty- eight of the colored children of the city (more than one-half of those attending the primary schools) get byt a half-day’s schooling. The fact that 70 per cent of the colored children do not go beyond the pri- mary grades makes this enforced cutting down of their school hours doubly harm- ful. For it can scarcely be~supposed that in a half-day schooling, more particularly when the half-day’s instruction fails in the afternoon session, a child can make the progress necessary to keep up with the requirements of a grade planned on a full day’s course. The primary grade child is really deprived of two of the four years’ course. “The showing was not much better for the children in the primary grades tor the white schools. About 7,000, fully one-half of the primary enrol'ment, are half-day scholars. The white children, as a rule, stay in school longer than the colored, so the harm worked is not so serious. The recent police census of the District gives 42,044 children between the ages of six and fifteen. These years correspond with those spent in the grammar and primary schools. The seating capacity of the District for these grades is 32,689, leaving nearly 10,000 children unprovided for. Some of these can be found on the rolls of the parochial and private schools, but there is no pos- sible doubt that we have a school popvla- tion several thousand in excess of our ac- commodations.”* = —> Not Admiral Mende. The friends of Admiral Richard W. Meade wish to correct the impression given ky a morning newspaper that he was pick- ed up by the police in a half-frozen condi- tion Friday morning and cared for at the first precinct police station.
