Over Three Young Heirs-Property in
Allegheny County Amounting to $780,
OOO-Yesterday in the Courts.
Henry W. Kendall yesterday made an
application in the Orphans Court for his
appointment as guardian for the persons of
Joseph W., Mary j., Eenry W. and Frances
G. wilkins, children of the late Joseph w.
Wilkins, of Waukesha county, Wis. The chill
dren are the grandchildren OF the late Edmund

leaving an estate worth from $500 600 to S<00 co.,
He left no will. and the share of his grand
children. whose parents were dead,

guardian of their property and Henry
w. Kendall, their uncle. was guardian of
their persons. The Fidelity Title and Trust

A RESORT TO COURT
Possible for Every Consumer of Nat
ural Gas Who Is 0vercharged,
If THE FRAZER TAX BILL PASSES.
Some Of the Grievances Set Forth in the
Preamble to the Measure.
LOCAL VIEWS ON THE MATTER OF FUEL

Attorney Robert Frazer's bill for the
regulation of natural gas companies, intro
duced in the Legislature by Senator Thomp-
son, of Dauphin, is in the line of his views
expressed in THE DISPATCH some months
ago, and he states that the object OF intro
ducing the bill is to remove any possible
hindrance in the way of taxing such COM
panies.
1t gives any user of natural gas the right to
go into the Courts Of Common Pleas, in case
of an e1tortionate price being demanded,
and have the court fix it. to a certain extent 1t
also gives the local authorities the right to tax
the pipes, putting natural gas companies OH tue
same footing as artificial gas companies ana
water companies.
The preamble to the bill contains several
"whereases" reciting that towns and cities sup
piled by natural gas companies have been put
to much expense for the repair OF streets torn
up to lay pipe: that the companies now seek to
charge eXorbitaht rates, an abuse of the right
of eminent domain; that such rates have risen
to an extent that the use OF the commodity mas
almost ceased to be of public benfit or accom-
mediation.
Mr.. Frazer says the companies have no right
to compel people tu make deposit as security,
and thus use many thousands of dollars on
which they (the companies) pay no interest,
and that should the companies collapse the de-
positors would lose and the gas companies be
treated as embeZZlers. unless they place IL on
deposit where its security is assured.
Mr.. Frazer says if the people interested will
support his bill and push 1t upon the attention
of the Legislature it will be passed, and should
they fail, the bill will likely drop aud another
advance in rates will follow.
The bill has been referred to the Committee
on Corporations, and will come up soon for a
hearing.
w. S. Guffy of the Westmoreland and Cam
bria Gas Company, was asked for his opinion,
but stated,that he had not seen tue bill, and did
not care to express an opinion. He turned the
inquirer over to A. w. Mellon, who said that
the natural gas business had fallen into such
shape that it made little difference what was
DONE Mr.. Mellon held that natural gas will
.soon be among the things that were. and intim-
ated that about all left was to hold the in
quest
At the Philadelphia Companys office the
reporter was referred to Mr.. Cummins, of the
land department. He said: I'VE are opposed
to any taxing bill as matter of course; op-
posed as all people are when they are interested
in the same way. do not know of any move
ment to fight the bill"
F. L. Stephenson, Secretary of the Bridge
water Gas Company. at first refused to talk,
but finally said: II don't know anything about
the bill, but think natural gas companies are
already sufficiently taxed. They are now taxed
as other corporations are and what more do
you want?"
