During the seven years that have just passed
there Is no duty, domestic or foreign, which wo
have shirked; no necessary task which we have
feared 20 undertake, which we have not per-
formed with reasonable efficiency. We have
never pleaded in,potence. We have never sought
refuge in criticism and complaint instead OF sc-
tion. We face the future with past and our
present as guarsntors of promises, and we
content to stand to fall by the record
which we have made and are makins.-President

SUIT AGAINST GAS TRUST
HEARD IN FEDERAL COURT
Plaintiff Counsel Demands that
Supply Be Cut Off from Con-
sumers Immediately.
COUNTER CHARGES MADE

The complaint OF Byron c. Quimby. a
resident of Massachusetts, against the Con-
sumers' Gas Trust Company was heard by
Judge Anderson of the Federal Court yes
terday afternoon. Ferdinand Winter and
A. c. Ayres. representing the plaintiff, in
their complaint charge that the company
is losing money and ask the court to issue a
restraining order TO have the gas cut off,
which should take effect at once. An affi-
davit in opposition TO this order was PEE
sented by Judge Howe and a. C. Harris,
representing number of the directors, who
are defendants in the case.
This affidavit sets forth the fact that
they wished the gas shut off April l, but
not at the present time on account of the
inconvenience it would give a number of
their patrons who are depending upon their
supply of gas. 1t asserts that at the time
the complaint was filed the complainant did
not hold any stock certificates of the COM
pany and at the same time the assets of the
company were $9eO,O7S.5O. This affidavit
was signed by a. A Barnes, j. w. Lilly, III.
c. Atkins and Hervey Bates, jr. No definite
action was taken by Judge Anderson and
the arguments in the case will be continued
at 8 o'clock this morning.
