Q. How does it happen that the Brooklyn Borough Gas Company as- sumes that it has the right to charge | ""S any price it chooses for gas, a situa- tion that has aroused all consumers since other companies may try to do the same thing? A. The Brooklyn Borough Gas Company takes the view that the various points passed upon by Judge Referee Hughes in his opinion leaves the gas company | high and dry as far as any present law can effect them—ths matter to be discussed at the hearing to-mor- row by the Public Service Commis- sion. Q. What are the points that Refe- ‘ree Hughes determined? A. That the | #0-cent rate passed in 1916 which gave reliet from the high rates to the re-| maining wards of Brooklyn is null} and void as far as this gas company | is concerned. Q. What else? A. That the 9%5-cent rate set by the Public Service Com- mission prior to the passing of the 1916 amendment js also wiped out. Q. What else? A. That the 1906 law which prescribed that this gas company should charge no higher than a dollar is also put out of ‘busi- | ness as far as it effects this company. | Q. What else? A. That the court has no power to fix what is a reason- able rate. Q. What then? A. That as the gas company is “thus left without ade- quate remedy, it is entitled to relief in equity from the enforcement of the statutory 80-cent rate which has superseded the earlier statutory and commission rates.” Q. And what is the result? A. The Brooklyn Borough Gas Company an- nounced that it will charge $1.25. Q: How does it justify a difference between 95 cents, which it has been getting (the 80-cent rate never having been in effect, and $1.25? A. They have enumerated dividends and “bom- bardment” insurance and interest on money that consumers leave as a deposit and addition to the plant, and higher oil rate, and a few such future enterprising prospects. Q. What is the condition of this company? A. It has never enjoyed so much business In its existence, Q. How? A. It has almost doubled its gas sales in the last six years— from 242,777,300 cubic feet in 1911 to 462,964,,400 in 1917, and more this year; also their winter business is now equal to summer business, which never happened before (operating in the Gonex Island section). Q. t other advantage has this company had? A. It has almost ex- clusive franchises in this ward, thus having practically no cot tition. Q. at has been its sales of gas? A. Almost double in the last six years. In 1911 the gas sale amounted to $242,561.08 and in 1917 it was $445,361.21. Q. What has it done about selling residuals, or by-products? A. Very little. The company says it sold only approximately $7,000 worth of residu- als. @. What could it have done to make more money on by-products? A. The Public Service Commission made it optional for all gas com- panies to change their standards of gag from a twenty-two candle power to a 650 British thermal unit standard. Q. What effect would this have? A. It can be made cheaper, it takes leas oll, and according to Referee Hughes the reduction in operating eames has been due to higher oil ye And what about the by-products? A. They could sell the residuals such ag toluol to the Government, which Products are greatly in demand at evens) ané for which good prices are secured. Q. What would have been the ad- ditional expense to their plant to do this?) A. None, according to their management, Q. Have they included ing of gas standards as rate cf $1.25 which they oharge the people? A. Q. Why not?

Troops of English Ruse, Germans Now Know Of. LONDON, Sunday, Aug. 4.—A thrill- ing story of a fight between a British decoy ship and a German submarine was told by Sir Eric Geddes, First Lord of the Admiralty, at a weekly concert held for the American He explained that the Ger- mans now know about the ruse and it is needless to withhold the story longer. ‘The decoy, known as ‘'950," had the appearance of a dingy old collier, with an undisciplined looking crew which was suitably attired, he . This ship sailed into the Atlantic with the necessary orders and finally sighted a German submarine. The decoy turned and ran away, but the submarine overhauled her and opened Some of the Germag shells fell on the decoy’s deck and memrbers of the crew were wounded and killed. The flight of the decoy continued and she signalled for help. An hour and a half later the submarine drew nearer. In the mean time the decoy’s decks had been set on fire and the captain knew that her magazine would soon explode. The explosion came in a and sent one of her guns hurtling through the air. The submarine had now swung around in front of the decoy. The captain of the latter signalled to a |man of war which had been keeping below the horizon and then unmasked the forward gun of the decoy and heavily shelled the submarifie. One projectile tore away the enemy's con- \ning tower and another hit her in the jhull. She sank after a five hours’ fight ‘The warship, which had been keep- ing out of sight, rescued the crew of the decoy. “Admiral Sims and I have more than one of trapping sub- marines,” said Sir Eric, SUBMARINE CHASER SUNK. v WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—Sinking of submarine chaser No. 187 in a collision with another vessel last night near Hog Island, off the Virginia coast, was re- ported to-day by the Navy Department. All members of the crew were rescued. UNION OF AMERICAS STILL HOPE OF PRESIDENT WILSON Tells San Salvator President He Looks Forward to Union of Mind and Purpose. WASHINGTON, Aug.

Melendez declared Wilson had done much in his recent speech to Hexican editors to wipe out the distrust between the United States and Latin America. “You would indeed be the great Pala- din of law and liberty,” wrote Melen- dez, if you would follow up your mo- mentous initiative which without a doubt will receive the support of the greatest sympathy and best will of all the men and rulers of our con- tinen In reply, President Wilson said in “I join with you in looking forward with the highest hope and confidence ion of mind and purpose will lead to abiding peace and friendly co-operation.” ———— FIGHTING FRENCH CHAPLAIN.
