GAS CLASS REOPENS TODAY.
ALL rs REALLY LOVELY, SAYS
CONSULTATIONS COUNSEL.

II the Committee Would Let Him Cross-
Examine on the Boston Model II would
BE shown That the Combine f. tn.
inG 20 Deal Fairiy With the Consumer.
The gas kindergarten viii resume business
in the City Hall at 10 O'Clock this morning.
Sohoolmaster Hughes has spent nearly all
his waking hours since Monday devisinR
new questions In arithmetic, and Il Is e1-
pected that the pupils from the lighting
( combine will have some posers hurled at
them.
Charles F. Mathewson, counsel for the
Consolidated Gas Company, made a few
remarks yesterday about the gas which
the parent organization buys from some
OF the constituent companies at from 81
to 10 cents a thousand feet in bulk and then
retails at g.
There are many additional charges 10
be added to the initial cost, said he, that
would materially increase the cost OF the
gas before delivery. The Standard COM
pany, to which we pay 80 cents does not
even supply the holders for the gas sold
70 US, and besides the gas is subject to I'M
accounted for charges in the Standard
system which alone would raise the cost
to IS cents.
The holder charge account and the
interest and maintenance charge thereof
would amount 70 at least FIVE cents addi-
uonal, making what might be called holder
cost TO the Consolidated company Of 40
cents. This amount Of 20 cents was the
price paid for surplus gas Of the Mutual
company, which has ample holder capacity
for its product. Now, add TO 40 cents the
coat Of distribution. taxes and interest,
the loss always incidental to the distribution
OF gas and a fair reserve, and IL would be
found that cost Of the gas delivered 10
the consumer would be nearer IS cents 10
the gas company than the 80 cents brought
out IN the as vet incomplete examination,
When the full evidence and facts are before
the committee this will ppear clearly.
As yet the committee has not conceded
IN the counsel OF the Consolidated com
pany the right to bring out the company's
side OF the case a. IL proceeds, although
in RUston no legislative investigation ever
IL held without the right OF cross-sNantina-
ton Of all witnesses
When all the story IL told the public
will find that the lighting interests. IL given
an opportunity, will show that they have
been much abused. The strictly correct
attitude OF the lighting companies before
the committees investigating their Affairs
can only result in public approval OF a cor
porauon in endeavoring to deal fairly with
the people who shortly will find that they
have the finest lighting organization OF
any city In the world. The attitude Of the
lighting companies to the public IL that OF
a cordial recognition that the constituent
and the company's interests are one and

GARFIELD OFF FOR KANSAS.
Reply 10 Criticisms made OF His Report on
the Beef Trust Inquiry.

WASHINGTON April 5.-Commissioner
Garfield Of the Bureau OF Corporations
, will leave tomorrow for Kansas 10 open for
mally the inquiry into the methods and
operations Of the Standard Oil Company
In that State. He said this afternoon that
he could not make public any Of his plans
OF the course he would follow in the investi-
cation, and that nothing in regard 70 the
matter would be given to the public until
his report had reached the President
Department officials are anxious that Mr..
Garfield be set right before the public in
regard to the beef trust inquiry. His re-
port such Of it as was made public by the
President has been made the subject Of
much criticism, and impetuous Kansans,
jumping at the conclusion that Mr.. Gar
fields investigation OF the beef trust had
been Ineffective have gone 30 far as 10
protest against his being sent to their State
70 make the inquiry into the Standard Oil
lompany's operations.
The burden Of the criticism Of Mr. Gar
fields teef trust report was based on his
showing az to the profits Of the packers
The report showed that the packers made
a profit OF per cent. on gross sales and a
profit Of 90 cents a head on dressed beef,
while their profits on their capitalization
ran as high as IS and 20 per cent. in the case
Of one company. Mr. Garfelds critics
seized upon the ? per cent. and 90 cents per
head figures alone and derided the sug-
gestion that the packers were making so
little money. The fact that the per cent.
profit Is profit on gross sales, not on
capital invested. and that it means that
the packers are making immense sums
annually was apparently lost sight Of
The Significance OF the profit per head is
also pointed out, in that the report shows
that while the profit on dressed beef was
90 cents a head, the profits on the by-prod-
ducts brought the profit per head to 81 so;
and when II is considered that the packers
handle millions Of cattle each year the
volume Of their earnings Is apparent.
Attentioniis also called to the fact that
the real question involved in the teef trust
inquiry was not as to the amount Of the
profits Of the packers, but as TO whether
there was a combination of packers that
was illegal. That part Of Mr.. Garleld's
report bearing on this quest ion has not been
made public, but Is being used by the De-
partment Of Justice in pending legal pro-
ceedings against the packers.
Mr.. Garfields investigation Of the Stand
ard Oil will be thorough, il " promised.

GOrdOn-OumminE as ChieT Clerk.
WARRINGTON, April 5.-The Bureau Of

OF the bureau succeeding William c. Fox,
VINO was to-day elected director Of the
bureau to succeed W. W. Rock hill who has
been made Minister to China.
The reason given out for the refusal to

was that the bylaws Of the institution
say that it's employees shall he elected by
competitive examination. This clause OF
the bylaws was waived in Q selection
OF Mr.. Fox, who has been with the bureau
