GAS COMPANY WINS
In Supreme Court in Contest With the
City of Peoria.

Washington, Jan. 2.-The supreme
court today, in an opinion by Justice
Brewer, decided the case of the Peoria
Gas and Electric company versus the
city of Peoria, ILL.,, in favor of the
company, reversing the finding of the
United States circuit court for the
northern district of Illinois. The case
involved the cOnstitutiOnality of a city
ordinance fixing the price of gas in
Peoria and the action was instituted
to enjoin the enforcement of the Ordi-
nance.
The company complained that the
price fixed was unreasOnably low and
therefore in contravention to the
fourteenth amendment to the consti-
tuition, which prohibits the taking of
property without due process of law.
The city charged, on the other hand,
that the company had been guilty Of
combining with another gas company
to fix rates and had thus violated the
antitrust law. The circuit court held
the ordinance to be valid and reason
able. In reversing that finding the
supreme court dealt exclusively with
the contention of combination, hold
ing that the circuit court had not
given due credence to the testimony
taken before master, and in reVers-
ing the case directed that further ex-
animation be made into the agreement
between the two companies Justice
Brewer said the testimony did not
show that there had been such an
agreement.

AT THEIR MERCY.
Governor Beckham Points Out the
Public Relations to Corporations.

Frankfort. KY. Jan. 2.-Governor
Beckham in his message to the legis-
lature which convened here today said
that the public is defenseless without
proper and effective state and federal
regulation of railroads.
THE power of a railroad company
to levy an extortionate rate simply be-
cause of a lack of competition made by
an engagement with competing line, +"
said he, should be restrained and the
authority to do this now rests with
our board so far as rates within this
state are concerned
In discussing insurance companies
he said:
'aThe interests of the people who
have put their savings in them must be
protected, if protected at all, by the
strength and power of the law and not
left to the supposed conscience or in
tegrity of the company officers any
more than that a lamb could be safely
entrusted to the conscience or altruism
of the wolf. I would advise that you
carefully examine into your power in
the premises and that if you find it
would be effective, pass a law requiring
a short period accounting of the sur
plus to the policy holders of the COM
pany.

HIS HEAD is IN THE OVEN
Hands Tied and the Gas Burners
Wide Open

Chicago, Jan. Earl Dean, IA
years of age, was found dead in the
kitchen Of his mothers fiat in Hyde
Park last night. The boys head and
shoulders rested on a pillow in the
oven Of a gas range with the unIighted
gas escaping from the burners under
it. His hands were tied behind him
and his feet were bound with one of
his mothers aprons. A handkerchief
was knotted loosely about his neck.
The fact that the young man was
bound and that the back door of the
fat in which he was alone, was un-
locked, gave rise to a strong suspicion
of murder. Nothing in the rooms,
however, had been touched. Further
more, the placing of the cushion be-
heather the lads head was taken as
evidence of preparation for taking his
own life, a precautiOn that probably no
murderer would have taken.
Young Dean lived alone with his
mother, Mrs. Mary Dean, whose chief
support he was. He was employed in
the shipping department of the Uni
versity of Chicago Press.

bering about 250 men is, according to
advices received here by messenger to-

vent all ingress or egress except for
American warships or persons under the
protection of the foreign conSuls. The
threatened bombardment of the port

pendencia will not take place, presum-
ably owing to the representations of
the foreign consuls.

also announces that the troops COM
manded by General Guellito, the for
mer governor of Monte Christi, are op-
Grating in conjunction with the revo-
Iutionary forces before Puerto Plata

forces to attack Santiago south Of
