FOR TWO GRAND JURIES.
May Body Suggests Causes Could
Thus ReceiUe Better Consideration.

w. c. Muscherheim, foreman OF the May grand
jury, which discharged yesterday. handed up
a presentment in which the jury makes several
recommendations in regard to the handling of
criminal cases and suggests that there should be
two grand jur1es constantly in session. that
ample time would be given in acting each
The presentment refers to the charge Of Justice
Foster, in which he said that the grand jurfes
had tendency to make records in the number of
cases handled and warned the May grand jury TO
guard against it.
The presentment says that the majority of cases
that come directly from the magistrates courts
are not investigated by the District Attorney be
fore presentation to the grand jury. After these
cases are investigated the presentment says. it is
often found that the evidence does not warrant
conviction. To guard against this condition. the
jury suggests that detectives be assigned to every
magistrates court and take part in the trial OF
the prisoners. This would increased
pense. but should be provided for by the Board Of
Estimate the presentment says.
Continuing. the jurors suggest that greater care
should be exercised by committing magistrates.
and that two grand turies should be drawn each
month. each to sit during a two-hour session. and
thus allow least twice the present time TO be
devoted 10 the consideration of each case.

GAS FIGHT STILL ON.
Decision ReSerUed on Continuation
of 8O-Cent Injunction.

Justice Leventritt in the Supreme Court, heard
arguments yesterday the application OF Dr.
Alexander r. Grossman, Albert r. Washburn
and Nathan Cohn for the continuance, pending
trials Of actions brought against the Consoh-
dated Gas Company OF temporary injuncuons
granted by Justice Bischof restraining the gas
company from cutting off the plaintiffs supply
OF gas because of their refusal 10 continue pay
ment at the rate of 81 a 1000 cubic feet. De-
cision reserved and Justice Leventritt said
that he would accept briefs from counsel on
the legal points involved.
Samuel L. Koenig and William Armstrong ap-
peared for Washburn. who has a slot meter at
his home No 315 West 10th street. and alleges
that his meter readjusted May 1, when
the S0-cent gas bill went into operation. so as
to give him $40 feet of gas for % cents instead
of 25O feet, formerly Clarence j. Shearn
represented DIR. Grossman and Nathan Cohn,
who asked that the gas company be restrained
from cutting off or interfering with their supply
of gas which had been threatened unless they
continued to pay the dollar rate. Counsel for
Washburn said that after obtaining the injunc-
tion restraining the consumers from paying less
than 81 a 1000 feet. the gas company had again
adjusted Washburn's meter so to supply the
gas at the old rate
John F. Dillon and John A. Garner appeared
for the Consolidated Gas Company, and ap
pealed for the denial OF the motion, on the
ground that the proceedings in the federal court
ousted the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court
Counsel for Washburn argued that if Wash
burns meter was taken out ii would be in viola
tion Of the plaintiffs contract with the gas COM
pany, and in violation of the state laws and OF
the orders made by the State Gas Commissioner.
Mr.. Shearn said that all the motions hinged
upon the question to what the legal rate
for Illuminating gas in this borough. AS the so
cent gas law has not been repealed, Mr.. Shearn
said that ii undoubtedly the legal rate. He
cited many cases in support of his contention.
and said that the injunction could be continued
on general principles. Continuing, he said that
he would prove that of the aff1davits sub
mitted by the defendant company contain bold
bald perjury"
In opposing the several motions Mr.. Garner
said these injunction proceedings We're attempts
by certain persons TO nullify the order of the
United States courts which had assumed juris-
dction of the entire controversy. He argued
that not only had the rights of the company to
be protected, but also the rights of its five thou
sand stockholders and those of the entire public.
If the Consolidated Gas Company merely be-
cause ii was large corporation and because
the Legislature had sought to fix an arbitrary
rate for its product, could be prevented from
going into court while suffering these pen
alties, it could not be held legally for a single
moment, he said. Mr.. Dillon argued along the
same lines.
