PROBLEMS OF THE TRUST d.
RECTORS.

The new directors of the Consumers Gas
Trust Company. with a safe working ma
jority in the board, are working rapidly
satisfactory a solution OF the problems they
have in hand as can be hoped for. They
have chosen a trio of high-class lawyers
TO take care Of the legal questions involved.
The view taken by these lawyers has
already been published. and the legal end
of the fight will be along those lines. Law
yers will, of course. offer on the PROPOSE
ton. and the courts will have to settle it.
If the Eureka Investment Company under
takes to lay claim to the property through
it's holdings of certificates which the COM
pany has decided to liquidate. This phase
of the matter. then. is as far along as the
directors can take 1t. and. until the in
vestment company or some other holder of
certificates shall begin proceedings. they
must proceed on the theory that they are
acting within their legal rights. The bur-
den of attack has been put on the other
side of the contention.
The next important proposition is to in
vestigate the feasibility of manufacturing
and distributing a fuel gas and the cost
at which such gas can be given to the peo-
pie, and to this end it has been decided to
select competent engineer to investigate
and report. The Journal would suggest
that possibly a better method than the
employment of a single expert would be
TO enlist the services of voluntary COM
mittee of local engineers and let them en-
ploy an expert or experts for the various
phases of this work. And, to head such a
committee, 1t knows OF no better man than
Matthew r. Moore. the man that designed
the distributing plant and pumping plants
of the Consumers Trust Company without
charging q penny for his services-and ac-
complished one of the best pieces Of work
of the kind in the country. Whether or not
Mr.. Moore, loaded with active duties as
general superintendent of the Atlas Engine
Works, would again give his time and abil-
tiles to this matter. the Journal does not
know, but it does know that with him at
the head Of such a committee the directors
would get at the truth. and the whole
truth.

Betting on horse races, like betting on

toned whether. strictly speaking. 1t is
gambling According TO the usual defini-
lions OF the term, gambling includes
only games played by individuals, with
cards, dice, or other gaming imple-
ments. To constitute gambling, chance
must be the controlling factor In the
game. 1t is not enough that chance
enters into a contest to make gambling
for IL cannot be denied that there is a GER
tain element of fortune in almost any con-
test or undertaking. All competitive ex-

would not be gambling within the defini-
lions OF photographers or the meaning OF
