CHICAGO GAS SUIT,
Review Of Decision Sought 10 BE OBJ
tained in the Action.

talned in the Action.
Chicago, May II. Collusion on
the part of the complainant in the
75,cent gas case in order to make
the United States circuit court take
jurisdiction of a question which it
already had refused to consider is
charged in an answer filed in the
federal circuit court b. the city Of
Chicago to the bill Of Darius @
Mills, a stockholder in the Peo.
Piles Gas Light & Coke Company.
Mills case was filed after Judge
Grosseup decided that he had no
jurisdiction to pass upon the power
of the city to regulate the price Of
gas when that question was pre-
sented in suit by the gas company,
He ruled in this case, however,
that the gas company has no con.
tract to charge a uniform price of
81 for gas in Chicago, and his de
cision was affirmed.
When Mills filed bis bill the city
interposed demurrer, but Judge
Crosscup took jurisdiction on the
ground that Mills is a resident Of
California and a diversity of citi
zenship existed. He decided that
the right to regulate the price of
gas is vested in the state and not in
the city, and the answer just filed
is a step toward securing a review
of his decision.
