BALCH DENIES ALL
GASMERGER TALK
DOMESTIC COMPANY GOING
AHEAD WITH PLANS
Employees of Old City Concern Are
Being Dropped, but Officials Say
Only Where Changes Are
Advisable

Out of many rumors regarding the
gas situation in Los Angeles the latest
Is that eastern capitalists are trying to
buy into the Los Angeles and Domes-
tic (formerly City gas companies with
view of merging interests.
Both companies have carried on
sharp competition lately. but since the
Pacific Light and Power interests have
obtained control it is stated that COM
ably, that working forces on both sides
are being reduced and that apparently
a truce of some kind has been declared.
All these rumors meet with sharp de-
malls from officials of both companies,
who say they are going ahead with
| their plans Of development to give Los
| Angeles consumers more for their mon
| ey than residents anywhere else on the
| globe.
A. G. Balch, general manager of the
Domestic company, said yesterday &c
The Herald that his company hac
| bought the assets, not the stock, OF the
City Gas company.
The Domestic directors had not ye
made their plans, he said, SO beyono
the statement that everything possible
| will be done in the way OF extension
and improvement for consumers he
could not as yet say more concerning
| policies of the corporation.
1--WE have moved our offices to the
Huntington building so that the Pacific
Light and Power and the Domestic in
terests can be managed to best advan-
tage," said Mr.. Balch.
1--WE are making changes here and
there among our employees, keeping the
good ones and wedding out here and
| there where we deem 1t best. There is,
however, no concerted action toward
dropping City Gas company employees
and nothing to suggest that we have
gone into any merger or understanding
with the other gas company"

TELLS OF boy LINCOLN"
President of Berea College addresses
COngre gatiOnaL Club.

Lincoln was eulogized at the dinner of the Con
eregationaI Club last night at the Hotel St Denis,
and a painting Of The Boy Lincoln by Eastman
Johnson, was on exhibition. This painting was
given to Berea College, Berea, KY, by Mrs Mary
Billings French, who was present, as was also the
president of Berea, DR.. William Goodel Frost The
latter delivered the address Of the evening. The
picture pastel, shows Lincoln reading before a
fire. an absorbed look upon his face. Mrs. john
son attended the dinner.
Dr. Frost spoke on Scenes from Lincolus Boy
hood" He said that Lincoln, while not conven-
tionaI Christian scholar had really the essential
elements of both in high degree, and that these
were established in his earlier years. IF he had
not been what he was at twenty-one, no subsequent
culture or experiences could have made him what he
was at last" he said. The speaker showed the
good character OF Lincoln's father and mother and
step-rnother, and gave touching and amusing pict-
lres Of their pioneer life as recounted by Dennis
Hanks and others.
Dr. Frost touched upon the crisis in the affairs Of
the college occasicned by the necessity of making
separate provision for its negro students, in de-
ference 70 q new state law. An adjustment
fund.- Of 100000 is required one-half of which has

often seen II acted cannot reasonably be expected
to for any production Of ii that Is not excep-
tionally good. Comparison of actors is not judi
cous method OF criticism but II is the method Gus
tonariiy used by the public. The appearance of a
commonplace performer in of the most difficult
and exacting OF all Shakespearian characters and
that has been impersonated here, within a
comparatively time. by the greatest Of actors
scarcely fail TO be deemed indiscreet, if not
presumptuous.
Mr.. Arthur Forrest is not a pleasing object as
Bassanio. fer he is heavy IN person and dull and
artificial in style; but he possesses admirers and
they have. before now, well this occasion,
evinced approval of his acting. Mr.. WaTde is voa-
tile and prosy as Lorenzo. That youth is
pleasant person in the play, but Shakespeare has
put into his mouth some of the beautiful
poetry in lauguage-a fact with which Mr..
Warde has yet to make acquaintance. Miss Keith
Wakeman Is handsome TO Portia. but her
merit in the character does not extend beyond per-
sonaI appearance.
Official information is supplied, in the playbill
that Mr.. Ludlowe's performance OF ''Shylock will
be found specially interesting because he attempts
TO play Shakespeare with the New Thought :.
acting his sublime lines with the repression and
thought that should be expected in these days of
modern progress" The art OF acting is the art Of
oppression, through the medium of impersonation.
When Mr.. Ludlowe learns that fact and applies It
TO his performance of Shylock. that performance
may become specially interesting: at present 1t
is not interesting at all The version OF the play
used is. practically without change. the bad

Harrisburg Penn. Feb 1.-THE defence in the
State Capitol conspiracy suit against Sanderson

Snyder. Mathues and Shumaker. on trSel n the
DauphIn County Court. to-day showed. Through
the testimony of experts who had made meas
urements for Sanderson. that the contractor mad
charged in the aggregate for less square feet
of furniture in the Senate and House cham
bers than the measurements would have al
lowed.
These experts testified that the measurements
of furniture in the Senate totalled 203231s
square feet and the measurements in the House
"a 1924 square feet, aggregate or 4o,1oo
square feet.
In his bill for this furniture Sanderson charged
for % $50 square feet for the House and Tor
2O436 square feet for the Senate, making a
total of 44O16 square feet.
BY these figures 1T was shown that Sander
son had not collected from the state on 1.O92
square feet of furniture for the Senate and
House. Whereas Sanderson charged the state
81 $40 20 for the famous bootblack stand in
the Senate Iavatory, which was supplied TO him
by sub-contractor for S125. one expert testi-
fed that the actual measurement OF the stand
and the chairs on it was 641a square feet. which.
at SIS 40 a foot. the price paid by the state.
makes total of ST. .1S6 SO.

in favor Of the contractor The defence contends
that though Sanderson charged more for these
articles OF furniture than the actual measure
ment allowed he billed other furniture 10 the
state at less than the actual measurement, max
ing the difference in the total number or feer
