GAS COMPANY LOSES.
Cannot Cut off Consumers-Mr;
Hughes's Work Bears Fruit.

Albany. Oct 16-The Court of Appeals to-day
handed down decision holding that the Su-
preme Court Of the state had the right to issue
an injunction. restraining the Consolidated Gas
Company. of New York. from shutting off the
supply of gas to consumers who refuse to pay
more than so cents a thousand cubic feet. and
affirming orders granting injunctions IN the
test cases brought The contention of the gas
company that, inasmuch the constitu-
tionality of the Eighty-Cent Gas bill passed by
the last Legislature was before the federal
courts the Supreme Court Of this state had no
jurisdiction.
Gas consumers in this city. who have been
paying 81 a thousand feet for illuminating gas.
not caring to protest for fear the supply would
be cut off, were jubilant yesterday when the de-
cision of the Court OF Appeals was learned.
Under the decision the Supreme Court has the
right to issue injunctions restraining the Con-
sohdated Gas Company from cutting off the sup
ply from any consumer who refuses to pay more
than the so cent rate
1t is largely through the efforts of Charles E
Hughes the Republican candidate for Governor.
that so cent gas has become nearer reality
than ever before Mr.. Hughes acted in an ad-
visory capacity as counsel for the Attorney Gen.
eral in the case brought before Judge Lacombe
in the United States Circuit Court in an effort to
obtain the so cent rate For his services in that
case he did not receive a single penny, although
William r. Hearst, in some of his campaign
speeches. has stated that he was under a
tainer.
Governor Higgins also largely instru-
mental in forcing the so cent gas law. In addi-
ton to the recommendations of the State Gas
Commission. the Governor backed up the action.
and the measure passed the Legislature and be-
came a law. The Consolidated Gas Company.
however. through action in the federal courts.
on the ground Of unconstitutionality. has here
tofore successfully fought the law The de-
cision of the Court of Appeals is the first de-
cided forward step that the champions of cheap
gas have made.
The case in the United States courts regarding
the consttutionality of the law is still unde-
cided. and no decision will probably be given for
some time TO come.
