NEW YORK BY GAsLIGHT.
1t VIII BE Cheaper, Owing to War
Between Light Companies.

NEW YORK, May 1.-The New York
Mutual Gaslight company today gave no
tice that the price of gas to all it's GUS
toners had been reduced from $1.10 to
65 cents per 1000 feet. The Consolidated
Gas company announced a similar deduc-
ton. The secretary of the Consolidate
company said:
THE reduction was made simply be-
cause it was believed to be for the best
interests of the company
Other officers of the Consolidated COM
pany refused to say anything on the SUD
ject.
William L. Purdy, assistant secretary
of the New York Mutual Gas company,
admitted that the reduction was the re-
suit of a war between the Standard Gas
company and the Consolidated Gas COM
pany and it's ally, the Mutual Gaslight
company.
''It is an outcome" said he, " of the
war that has ben waged against the Mil
tual company and the Consolidated COM
pany since the LIST of December by the
other companies. The Mutual company is
going to do as well by its customers as
any other company does for it's patrons.
The proposed municipal ownership Of gas
plants has nothing to do with the cut. 1t
was simply question of fight"
AS a result of the rate war Consolidated
Gas stock declined 10 points on the stock
exchange, where almost 1900 shares were
dealt in. The other local gas stocks are
not listed on the stock exchange.
There were rumors that the Standard
Gas company would reduce their rates,
but at the Office of the president, Russell
Sage, this was denied.

HAS BECOME OLD HISTORY.
Reported Action Against the North
ern Pacific at Grand Forks.


ern Pacific at Grand Forks.
A report has recently come from Grand
Forks that preliminary proceedings were
In progress and papers would soon ne
filed in the United States circuit court at
Fargo, in action by the United States
against the Northern Pacific. The occa-
sion of such proceedings is said to be due
to peculiar natural conditions existing
in the roadbed of the Northern Pacific at
Grand Forks.
On the opening of spring each year the
company has found 1t necessary to fill in
its stretch of track bordering the river,
and las usual this year it was found that
this cut needed filing and was placed in
line with other improvements. Thou
sands of dollars have been expended in
trying to keep the hole filed, but it won't
stay, owing to the peculiar condition of
the soil, and the unusual weight has
caused an elevation of the river bottom
which is said to be endangering naviga-
ton. The bank of the river and land in
tervening between the river and the right
of way is not in the least affected, but
filling thrown into the hole sinks, and,
moving by a subterranean route, comes
up again in the middle of the river
The suit will take the form of an in
junction to restrain the company from
further filling, and to compel a dredging
out of the river channel to the extent
of 54,G00 cubic yards of earth, which is
the amount of elevation claimed to be due
10 the improvements of the railroad COM
pGEy. The condition of the river was
examined by the government some time
ago, and a report made, the government
then demonstrated with the company, but
they. believing they had legal right,
continued the work.
When the matter was called to the no
tice of the Northern Pacific officials yes
terday it was said that 1t was history
of ancient date. The last interview had
with the United States district attorney
dated back more than six months ago,
and it was the belief of the Northern
Pacific people that the matter had been
dropped, and no action would be taken.
1t was admitted that the conditions ex-
listing at Grand Forks were correctly
stated, but 1t was also believed that the
settling process and corresponding eleva-
ton of the river bed had practically
ceased.

BANKERS LIFE CASE.
Motion to Quash the Indictment
Taken Under Adyfsement


Taken Under Advisement.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, May 1.-(SpeciaI)
The arguments of Attorney T. r.
Burke Of st. Paul, and John F. Burke, Of
Milwaukee, on the motion to Quash the
indictment found against the officers of
the Banksers' Life Association of st.
Paul by the federal grand jury, for the
alleged illegal use of the mails, and of
District Attorney Philips in reply were
completed this afternoon. Judge Seaman,
sitting in district court chambers, asked
for briefs outlining the authorities
touched upon, and said that he expected
to decide the question Thursday.
In taking the case under advisement
Judge Seaman said: 1.-The question in
the case, L apprehend, is not whether the
Bankers Life is a wise system of in
surance or a fraudulent one, but whether
the statute regarding the mails has been
violated, as the statute has nothing to
do with fraudulent insurance schemes
or wise ones, or anything else except the
abuse of the mails"
Attorney Burke said that his clients
were willing to stand trial If they were
sure that the result would be an end of
the persecution suffered for years He
said that the only charge was of deposit
ing letter in the postofflce at ST. Paul.
The trial for this offense, he went on,
should be at st. Paul. and therefore the
federal court In this district had no ju-
risdiction.

PASSENGER AGREEMENT.
Western Lines VIII Probably Get
Together In a Few Days.

Together in a Few Days.
CHICAGO, May 1.-The revised agree
hont of the Western Passenger associa-
lion, which will be taken up at the adj
journed meeting of the Western lines
Wednesday, differs in many material
points from the drafted agreement sub
mitted at last weeks meeting. Features
In the agreement which might have been
construed as indications of an illegal
combination have been eliminated. Other
changes limit somewhat the authority of
the chairman, and provide that the ex-
ecutive committee must be appointed by
the unanimous vote of the lines in the
associate Perhaps the most import
ant clause of the new agreement which
has been eliminated is that providing that
each road shall deposit to the credit of
the chairman certain sum of at least
$500 as security for the payment Of fines
and penalties for any breaches of agree
ment. Another clause, on the same lines,
which failed to pass the last meeting,
empowered the chairman to call for any
records pertaining to the subject under
investigation, and provided that failure
of the accused to furnish such records
within ten days should be considered as
an admission of guilt.
The new agreement authorizes the
chairman to file for and in the name of
individual lines with the interstate COM
merce commission all rates necessary I'M
der the law, but this, too, has been ex-
cluded
Wednesdays meeting will take up the
rules governing the association and it's
various bureaus, and after these have
been finally adjusted the lines will vote
upon the revised agreement as a whole.
At present the chances for its ultimate
adoption are favorable.
