TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1917, . SISTERS TELL OF- SORROW OF MEANS When He Was Tod That His Benelactor Was Dead Concord, N. Cy Dec. 11.—Two sis- ters of Gaston B. Means on trial }zere ! for the murder of Mrs. Maude A. King, told the jury of the sorrow of their brother when he heard that Mrs. King had been pronounced dead. They said they found him in the study . of the home of their father with head +bowed in his hands and tears stream- ing down his cheeks. Miss Kate Means and Mrs. Joseph Goodman, the t two sisters, were called to the stand g by the defense late in the day when Means was excused after being in the witness chair practically four days. Miss Means testified that when she came upon her brother he cried. “If there is a God in heaven how eould He let such a thing ppen?” This testimany was ruled fout by Judge Cline over the vigafous pro- (test of counsel for defense. ' The cross examination of Means was resumed yesterday, but the spec- taters received a surprise when As- t Attarney Dooling of New York, who had vigorously questioned Means | on Friday and Saturday, anmounced “that he would no longer actively par- ticipate in case. No redson was gned. Sollcitor Hayden Clement *cempleted the questiening of the wit- ness for the state. Judge Cline also referred to the tenseness of feeling, and declared that ke knew no distinction betweén resi- dent and non-resident attorneys tak- fog part in the case. Means’ story did not vary mater- fally from that he told on direct ex- ation and he expkined some slight discrepancies between his tes- timony then and that he gave at | the coroner’s inquest. The cross ques- ‘itioning was dome quietly and there were none of the heated clishes be- tween counsel, such as eccurred S: b “Tll Show You How . Corns Peel Off"” ' Ever Peel a Banana Skin?

On redirect examination Means tes- tified that at the time of her death, Mrs. King’s assets amounted to more than $680,000, including a trust fund in the Northern Trust company of Chicago from which she received an income of $11,000 a year. Among her assets he said were $20,000 worth of jewelry, a note for $31,000 from W. R. Patterson, Means’ father-in-law, $10,000 in gold certificates, and a note for $5,000 signed by Mrs. J. B. For- aker, Jr. The amount of Mrs. King’s assets was considerably lower when she was killed than they were when he first became connected with her business affairs, in 1915, Means testified. Several witnesses were called by the difense late yesterday to testify about experiments they had made in placing a pistol in the fork of the sycamore tree at the spring into which Means said he laid the pistol just before Mrs. King was shot. They all said the pistol would remain in the tree fork unless disturbed. Indications were that the trial would continue several more days, as the defense has some witnesses yet to be called and the state was expected to put on evidence in rebuttal.

Statement By the Comnecticut Com- pany Relative to F'ucl Conser- vation Plans, The following is a copy of a letter from the office of the Fuel Adminis- tration in Washington to the State Fuel Administrators throughout the United States. “The Conservation Department of the Fuel Administration is, as you are aware, investigating every possible op- portunity to save coal, which, of cnurse. includes the saving of electri- city. An investigation convinces us that electric railways offer a chance for large savings, particularly through re- | ductions in schedules. We are not suggesting changes in railway sched- ules which will seriously inconvenience the public, but it is a well-known fact that the pressure of private interest has, in many instances, led the elec- tric railways to provide cars and ser- vice which represent a ‘wastage that should be prevented in time of scar- city. It is Dr. Garfield’s desire that you start this line of investigation for your State in consultation with the State Public Utilities Commission, assuring them that any reduction which they believe to be reasonable, will have full backing of the Federal Government as represented by the Fuel Administra- tion. In addition to this matter of sched- ules,/ our attention has been called to a number of other opportunities for economy on the part of electric rail- way companies. One of these has to do with the heating of cars. We urge that you ask the proper State authorities to co-operate in the reduction of un- necessary heating. It has been stated that the heating of cars represents nearly 30 per cent. of the current used by these companies. May it not be possible to make a substantial saving in this item? Further we have found that in many cases the system of power stations could be revised with large savings of fuel, as is said to have been done in Great Britain. There are along the line of railway companies operating in thickly populated districts company power stations with more or less obso- lete or inefficient equipment/ which could, we judge, be discontinued or reserved as relay stations through ar- rangements for the railway companies to obtain their power from other more efficient stations of other public utili- ties operating in the same localities and having large relay capacity. If the public utilities which produce power at the lowest cost could be used to furnish the regular current require- ment of the railways in such districts and the railway companies’ plants merely maintained as relays, the sav- ing in electrical power and therefore, in coal, would be considerable. We would like to add that all of these companies should be urged to renewed vigilance in the matter of ! scientific economy in firing their pow- er plants and cutting off every kind of leakage and wastage, especially in their transmission systems. We shall be glad to hear that vou have taken up this matter vigorougly, and that you have found it possible to effect cogsiderable savings in this depart- : ment.” The War Board of the American Electric Railway Association, which is co-operating with the Government de- partments and represents the electric railways of the country at Washing- ton, has called the attention of the railways of the country to the sugges- tions conveved in Dr. Garfield's letter and urged them to co-operate to the fullest extent with the ‘State authori- ties in an effort to conserve the fuel supply; and suggesting the following points for consideration: 1. By far the greatest economy in the use of fuel is to be accomplished ! by a reduction of service during the mid-forenoon, mid-afternoon and late evening hours when there is less de- mand for service than during the other hours of the day. The Connecticut Company is having a very careful in- vestigation made as to the amount of service that can be eliminated during such hours with the least inconveni- ence to the public. And after a final decision is made full publicity will be given to such changes in the belief that such decreases in service as may be made will cause little, if any, in- convenience if the patrons of each line know exactly what changes have been inaugurated, so that they may accommodate themselves to the change. 2. Material saving can be made by the elimination of unnecessary stops. Studies will be made of such possibil- ities, but as changes of this sort would cause more inconvenience than the elimimation of unnecessary ser- vice, no change will be made until full information is given to the particular communities involved. 3. Large savings can be effected i ; ) | i R Rl | POUNDS NET WEYgHS ORN PRODUCTS REFINING Co. GENERAL OFFICES -~ NEW YORK. NTRITIIT 'l Save Sugar! But No Need to Do Without Sweets—- .

It has been the custom of the com- pany to kebp the temperature in the cars to as near 60 degrees as Dpos: ble. During this emergency, however, heat will be cut down materially throughout the day, except on long in- terurban lines, for the management realizes that there would be great dan- ger to the health of its patrons by cut- ting off the heat entirely. 4. The use of electricity for heating waiting stations and other company buildings will be eliminated., 5. Efforts will be made in' co-opera- tion with industrial plants to inaugur- ate a wider distribution of the hours of opening and closing the factories in order to spread the peak of theloads upon the power stations. The great- est waste of fuel occurs during the period of maximum evening peak ser- vice, whe# additional boilers must be fired up to take tare of the half-hour over-load caused by a simultaneous closing of all industries. During the past two years the com- pany has spent over $1,000,000 in modernizing its boiler plants and pow- er stations, in order that there might be an assurance of ample power sup- ply and o more economical use of fuel.
