GAS CASE UP IN DECEMBER
DISTRICTS SUIT FOR PENAL.
TIES ON CALENDAR.
Commissioners Want So, 500 From
Two Corporations for Deviations
From Lawful Standard.

In December the Washington Gas Light
Company and the Georgetown Gas Light
Company will be defendants in the Dis
trict Supreme Court in a suit brought
against them by the District of Columbia
to require them to pay certain penalties
for supplying gas below the standard re-
quired by law.
E. II. Thomas, corporation counsel, en-
tered suit against these public service
corporations upon direction of the Com
missioners several months ago. He has
been ready to prosecute the suit for some
time. Information has been received at
the District building that the case will be
called early in December.
The prosecution undertaken by the
Commissioners followed the report made
by E. E. Runyan. United States inspector
of gas and gas meters for the year 1906
%, in which he enumerated alleged
violations of the gas companies as OBJ
served by him during the year.
The declaration made to the court by
Mr.. Thomas sets forth that during the
year ended June 80, 1907. On five days
the gas Of the Georgetown company con-
tiined more than the prescribed amount
of ammonia: five days it contained more
than twenty grains Of sulphur and on
sixteen days was less than twenty-five
candlepower. On ten days the gas of the
Washington company was not FREE from
sulphurcted hydrogen and on nineteen
days was below the standard candle
Power.
The total penalties imposed by the Com
missoners and which the companies have
refused to pay are: The Washington Gas
Light Company. $1,000. and the George
town Gas Light Company, $500.
The defense Of these two companies Is
practically the same. They make a gen.
eral denial, and also claim that they come
within proviso of the statute which ex-
empts them from penalty if the deviation
from the standards could not have been
prevented by ordinary care and prudence
but was occasioned by some unavoidable
causes"
Both companies claim by affidavits that
there IL no method by which the falling
Of the gas below the twenty-five candle
power once in a while, as charged, can
be prevented.

He Never Voted Democratic.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, October 31.-W. c.
Rudd, brother-in-law of John D. Rookie
Teller. said today that the oil man had
strongly favored the candidacy of Mr.
Taft ever since the latter's nomination for
President.
Mr.. Rockefeller has always been a re-
publican in national politics. said Mr..
Rudd, land to the best of my knowledge
he has never voted for a democratic can
didate for President. He has never made
a secret of this fact, and during the past
summer he frequently said In my hearing
that he thought the election Of Mr.. Taft
would lead to the return of normal busi-
ness conditions"
