PLANTS
TO BE COMBINED
GIGANTIC MERGER PLANNED
FOR LOS ANGELES
L. A. Gas and Electric Company to Be
Nucleus of Enterprise and South
ern California Will Furnish
Operating Field

Articles of incorporation were filed
in the county clerk office yesterday,
which, when completed, will result in
the formation of a gigantic gas ana
electric company, the idea of which is
eventually to secure control of the gas
and electric lighting plants of the en-
tire territory of Southern California.
The new company will be known as
the Los Angeles Gas and Electric cor
poration, with a capital resource or
10000, 900.
This company is entirely separate
from the present Los Angeles Gas and
Electric company, but it is the present
intention of the board of directors of
the new concern to take over the pres
ent Los Angeles Gas and Electric COM
pany as soon as the articles of cor
poration have been drawn up. Plans
are also under way for buying the
Pasadena Consolidated Gas company
and in the due course of time, over
lures, which will doubtless be success
full, will be made for the other minor
gas and electric companies in and
about Los Angeles.
The board of directors for the new
company are w. B. Cline, c. S. Vance,
C. A. Luckenbach, T. P. McCrea, w,
e. Houghton, H. r. Austin and G. P.
HougNton.
w. B. Cline is at present president
of the Los Angeles Gas and Electric
company, which will be merged in the
new company.
SAYS Purpose Is for Expansion
In speaking of the incorporation,
President Cline last night said: THE
purpose of this move is for expansion.
This concern is distinct from the Los
Angeles Gas and Electric company, but
within ninety days it is expected that
plans now under way will have de-
veloped into securing ownership of this
company. We also contemplate TAX
ing over the Pasadena Consolidated
Gas company, and this will be the ex-
tent of our plans for the present.
Eventually we will endeavor to obtain
all the minor plants about Los An
geles and merge all into one mammoth
concern. We have resources to the
extent of $50 100000 and the purpose of
the new incorporation is simply one of
EXPANSION and to embrace a great part
of the territory of Southern California.
We probably will get our present plans
underway within ninety days.
The Los Angeles Gas and Electric
company, which will form the nucleus
of the new concern, at present con-
trolls the greater part of the gas out
nut of Los Angeles, although for a
number of years the Peoples Gas and
Coke company has maintained strong
competition, but the directors antici-
pate but little difficulty in getting what
they go after, with such a big fund
to enable them to put through the de-
sired deals.

tribute to man who had devoted a
large part of his life to the assistance
of others. There was an unusually large
attendance of men at the service, repre-
senting every phase of business and pro-
fessional life in Washington. Many Wash

time.

head of the long line of carriages arrived
at the church. Rev. Father William J.
Carroll said the requiem and delivered a
funeral address, in which he paid an
unusual tribute to the memory of Mr..
Mullany.
1T is not customary-certainly not with
me-to deliver funeral eulogies.' said
Father Carroll but / am sure that all
who knew Dennis Mullany knew that he
led an honest. true and Christian life.
During his last hours, as he was re-
ceiving the consolation of the church, he
said to me. Why should / be afraid t.
die? l am an old man now. and all my
life I have tried to do right?' That state
ment was a funeral sermon in itself
That it was true. I am sure. and I an
sure that all who knew him will say the
same with me-
The National Press Club, the Ancient
Order of Hibernians and the Catho..c
knights of America were represented at
the services. ]. Fred Kelley and John
Kennedy represented the Press Club.
Many Catholic clergymen and members
Of the Sisters of Mercy also attended the

Taft Takes Responsibility
for BaIIinger Investigation

President Taft and the leaders of the
republican party in Congress are deter
mined to investigate the conduct OF Sec
rotary OF the Ballinger-Pinchot contro-
merits of the Ballinser- Pinchot contro-
versy i'm such a thorough and sweeping
manner that the entire country will be
assured of the fairness of the findings.
whatever they may be- This is evidenced
by the decision reached yesterday to con-
duct the inquiry through joint commit
tee operating under joint resolution.
There was an extended conference at
the White House yesterday between the
President and Representative John Dali
zell of Pennsylvania, a member Of the
House committee on rules and one of the
biggest men of that body.

Inquiry to Move Quickly.

The resolution will be ready to take
up soon after the recovering Of Con-
gress January 4. The hearings Of the
joint committee will be public e'he
statement is made that witnesses will
be called from here. there and every
where, and that every man who thinks
he is able or who is thought able to
throw any light on the matter at issue
will be called before the committee to
testify.
1t also became known yesterday that
the reclamation service will be specifically
included in the resolution as one Of the
subjects of inquiry. While this service
has not been mentioned with the same
prominence as the Ballinger-Pinchot
controversy as a subject OF congressional
inquiry, yet members of Congress are not
satisfied with its work and want an in
quiry into the methods in present use.
Senators Wl1O'have investigated the prof.
ects in the west over which the reclama-
ton service has supervision. recently ex-
pressed some dissatisfaction with the way
in which the work has been carried on.
1t is not understood that the investigation
in connection with the Ballinger- Pinchot
row will have to do with the integrity of
the service, but rather with the manner
in which it has gone about its work.
One of the senators who inspected all
of the big projects west of the Missis-
sippi said. in effect, after his return to
Washington, that the service had bit of
more than it could chew"
