With the approach of Winter 33 years ago they died one by one, and at least two of their bodies froze into a sort of semi-permanency. Bodies in Natural Graves. Those bodies remained in their natu- ral graves of ice and snow until Au- gust 6, when two harpooners of the Horn expedition, seeking drinking water on the bleak island, discovered a boat and hoat-hook, which once belonged to the Andree expedition.

PARIS, September 2.—The Havas News Agency said today that an order | of expulsion had been served on Wil liam Randolph Hearst, American news- paper publisher, and that Mr. Hearst | would leave France this evening in com- | pliance with it. Mr. Hearst left for London last night. At the Surete Generale the Asso- ciated Press was told today: “The French government has always expelled foreigners who are consistently hostile to France. “Mr. Hearst is a Pranco-phobe and | we prefer that he should do his criti- cizing outside of France. The Horan affair of 1928 formed only a part of the reasons why Mr. Heafst was asked to | leave.” ‘The publisher arrived in Paris at 9:30 ant Monday-an@-lert at 4 pm. for London without waiting for the ex- piration of the 36 hours’ grace accorded | him under the expulsion order. The afternocon press prints briefly an announcement of Mr. Hearst's expulsion. Intransigeant indicates the govern- ment action was due to his “inimical attitude” toward France. Hearst Man Expelled. Harold J. T. Horan, a Paris corre- spondent for the Universal Service, one of the Hearst news organizations, in | October, 1928, was expelled from France | for his part in securing for publication | in America, in the Hearst papers and other members of the Universal Service Association documents connected with the secret Anglo-French naval pact. Horan was charged with having ob- tained the documents from the French forelgn office in a manner considered unethical. The Anglo-American Press Association expelled him from its mem- bership in connection with the affair. At the time the French press assailed Mr. Hearst as responsible for the naval accord leak. The so-called secret ac. cord provided for a cruiser arrange- | ment between France and England.

(#)—Two men were killed and a third was seriously injured in a gas explosion today at the new Kitchener Sewer Plant at Doon, Ontario. United States vice consul at Naples, | | over this figure, LOWER GAS RATES PROPOSED IN NEW LOGAL SEAEDLES $400,000 Annual Decrease | of Revenue Would Result | From Costs Filed. THREE SEPARATE LISTS FILED WITH COMMISSION | az | Prices Provide Expense of 56 to 74 Cents Per 1,000 for Aver- age Consumer. Substantial dftreases in gas rates with a strong bid for the use of gas for house heating are provided in the new schedules filed by the Washington Gas Light Co. with the Public Utilities Commission today. The schedules are so arranged, ac- cording to the accompanying state- ment of the company, that assuming that the same amount of gas is sold by the company under the new rates as under the present rates, it will mean an annual decrease of revenue of $400,000. The rates would allow the average consumer, heating a six-room brick house, to get his gas for this and all other purposes at a rate somewhere be- tween 56 and 74 cents per 1,000 cubic feet, as compared with the present | charge of $1 per 1,000 cubic feet. Three Separate Schedules. There are three separate schedules filed, The average consumer is repre- sented in the first, called “general gas service” rate. He will get his gas, under the new rate, at the rate of 85 cents per 1,000 cubic feet, assuming that he pays his bills promptly. If the bill is not paid in 10 days, then the rate jumps to 95 cents. Either would be a saving, since the present rate is $1. ‘There is, however, for this service a minimum bill of 75 cents (or 85 cents if it is not paid promptly). For this minimum bill the consumer is allowed 500 cubic feet of gas. This differs from the rate schedule formerly filed, in that under that schedule there was a “‘serv- ice charge” of 60 cents added to every bill, whether any gas was used or not. A person now using 500 cubic feet of g8s per month gets it-for-50 cemts. Un- der the new rate his bill will be in- creased by 25 cents. The company de- fends this, however, by an analysis of their sales, in the following words: “At present approximately 12 per cent of the total meters use less than 500 cubic feet a month. The gas com- pany meter books prove incontestibly that these ‘small consumers’ are not the poorer families, or the so-called ‘little fellow.” The poorer sections of the city, almost without exception, show bills of 3,400 cubic feet a month or over. (As a matter of fact most of them are bécause the poorer families depend on gas not only for cooking, but for heating their houses with when they sometimes have not the ready cash to purchase coal. Represents Reallocation. “The small consumers are those who live in apartments and use gas only occasionally as a convenience. Hereto- fore the average user who depends on gas has been ‘paying the bill’ of the very small ‘convenience consumer. The new rate, then, represents & reallocation as well as a reduction. “Four per cent (estimated) of the meters are now idle. (This figure was included in the 12 per cent who use less than 500 cubic feet a month.) These idle_meters are an_expense to the gas (Continued on Page 4, Column 1.) ONE DEAD, 300 HURT IN BUDAPEST RIOT Communists Blamed for Agitation as Unemployed Gather on Promise to Be Orderly. By the Associated Press. BUDAPEST, Hungary, September 2. —Three hundred persons were injured, 30 seriously, and one man was killed in a riot for food and work among the unemployed in Budapest streets yesterday. Communist agitation was blamed. Four of the seriously injured are policemen. Police permitfed the meeting of the unemployed, which had been widely advertised for weeks, on the promise that it would be orderly. The demon- strators stoned windaws, halted street cars and automobiles, and attacked the police with revolvers, stones and iron rods. Mounted police and armored cars finally dispersed the throngs. Approximately 300 persons who par- sicipated in the demonstration will stand trial, charged with acts of violence.

Woodcock delivered before the new school of in- struction for prohibition officers, which opened at prohibition headquarters this morning, with about 30 men from all parts of the country in attendance. “Don't urge agents to make border- line cases,” he said. “We are not in- terested now in ‘est cases.

BANKS OF FOG CLOUD FINAL LAP, BUT FAIR WEATHER HOLDS INLAND Landfall Over French Islands Is Tribute to Countrymen From Daring Pilot of Plane Question Mark. By the Associated Press. Along the cloudpath of Canada’s maritime provinces and toward the coast line of New England, a famous French fiyer and his com- rade of the air winged today over the last thousand miles of a flight from Paris to New York. At 9:30 (Eastern Standard time) this morning, Dieudonne Coste and Maurice Bellonte made history when their Question Mark soared over Canso, Nova Scotia, on the Canadian mainland, achieving the first flight from the continent of Europe to the continent of North America. An hour later they were passing the entrance to Halifax Harbor; more than a hundred miles nearer New York, and were headed true and swiftly for their goal. Turned for French Islands. In reversing the trail which Charles A. Lindbergh followed from New York to Le Bourget Field outside of Paris, Coste and his comrade made one patriotic digression. They edged around the southern tip of Newfoundland and came first over North American territory above an insular possession of their native France—the Isle of St. Pierre. That was at 6 o'clock (Eastern Standard time) this morning. Their subsequent progress along the coast indicated that they woul‘d come to earth at Curtiss-Wright Field, on Long Island in New York's eastern purlieus, before sunset this evening. New York Gets Ready. With a spontaneity of enthusiasm for the feat of the successors to the 1am:xx1)ted Nungesser and Coli, New York prepared to give Coste and Bellonte a welcome such as it would have heaped on the first French fiyers to try the North Atlantic if they had come through. The good word on the city streets was “Where are the flyers now?” and before midday a throng was gathering at the airport to wait for them, with a city welcoming committee in the van. 1f the fiyers reach New York by 6 o’clock tonight, (Eastern Stand- ard time) they will have made the Paris-to-New York journey in about 37 hours, Dense Fog Along Coast.
