VOLUME 56 HERE were four of them in the plot, And of them all Loris alone Was dangerous, PLENTY OF POWER. Prince Viadimir was a Nihilist because he thought his wife ' was falling in love with the Czar, and he was goaded on by EW LIL stirs in the Public Service Commission of this dis- ealous rage, Lemm was a professional conspirator, mainly useful as & trict. o the extent, at least, of urgent admonitions to the Legislature to get to work and legislate eighty-cent gas for the benefit of South Brooklyn. Former members of the Public Service Commission had queer ways of treating the rights of gas consumers. For yeara whenever @ gas company lawyer shook his finger the commission folded its hands and waited. Consumers had to do likewise. The newly appointed commissioners claim to have discovered that they haven't power enough to overrule the delays, court reviews, certiorari proc and similar devices constantly employed by Corporation attorneys to hold up indefinitely cases involving conces- eions to the publi e commissioners send to the Legislature two bills designed to strengthen the commission's authority and eay in| catspaw, Olga had pledged herself to the scheme because she adored Loris —who cared nothing for her. Loris was a true fanatic, His fellow Nihilists had killed the Car's father—Alexander II. And now they were trying to kill Czar Alexander III. Loris had a plan for achieving this, He presented his idea to the Executive Committee of Nihilists, They rejected it, and he decided to carry it out op his own account His plan was simple—and terrible. He intended to blow up the Moscow Opera House on the night of a gala performance, when not only the Czar, and his family, but all the highest nobles in Russta would be destroyed in a single blow. Incidentally thousands of innocent folk would perish, whieh mattered not at all to Loris. Prince Vladimir secured for him sixty pounds of melinite. Lorts, with the help of Lemm and Olga, smuggled this explosive in batches into the Opera House, and hid it under the imperial box Fulminate caps and electric wires were att to the melinite, and 60 many words the matn wire was carried underground to a room Loria had hired across jm thas Silla ate ‘ ¥ nnn thie street from t 5 Either pass these Mls giving your commiseton the au The Plet ie wankews oie done with (he @ONERE ihority it must have to make regulation of rates a reality or Against the Czar.$ caution, Alm it web at 1608 Oe elie let the Legislature exercise {ts own supreme authority and pleted withou ising the act cion of the police.

Prince Vladimir smiled happily. Now he would be avenged on the Csar for trying to win his wife from him. Lemm, too, was well pleased. There would be rare pickings for him. Olga shuddered with horror at thought of the carnage. But she loved Loris too ardently to refuse her aid in the preparations At last came the gala night of the opera, Loris in his room stood beside the electric button tensely waiting a signal from Prince Viadimir that the Czar had seated himself in the imperial box. Beside him were Olga and Lemm. Suddenly Vladimir burst into the room, shastly pale and trembling, “We cannot go on with this!" he shouted, “I have just seen my daughter enter the opera house, She had promised me to stay at home, It 4s too late now to warn her.” i Loris made no reply. He merely put out his hand toward the electrie atton, No! No!” wailed the Prince, “She must not die, She is my only child, pass the Brookiys eighty-cent gas bill 90 that relief may be af forded to the people It is no doubt true that mandatory legislation is now the surest, quickest way to cighty-cent gas for Brooklyn consumers, who have, long been entitled to it. | But why has it taken the Public Service Commission eight and) a half years to find out its powerlessness to accomplish what it was | ereated to accomplish? And why have we wasted $3,000,000 a year on a Public Service Board which any corporation lawyer could tie up in a tangle of technicalities? The newly constituied commission may ehow signs of energy in trying to break through what it considers its limitations, But how! far are those limitations real and how far are they imaginary? Be-} fore there is any question of amending the Public Service Oommis-| sions law let’s see the new commissioners make full use of the powers! i ou place her safety above Russia's?” sneered Loris. they now possess. | “We can wait,” began the Prince, “wntil another"—— a “Revolutions cannot be postponed,” Loris | ipted, "“Pecause of your wife you helped us, Now, because of your daughter, you would ruin us” “Ignoring the groveling and weeping Prince, he pressed the electric button, No explosion followed.
