WORKERS
HERE, MAY GET
GAS MONEY BACK
Those Who Have Saved Their
Manhattan Receipts to Share
in 9,OOO,O 600.

A slice of the 5 1000, 900 fund repre-
senting the amount paid by gas con-
sumers in New York in excess of the
ei~ghty-cent rate. just declared by the
United States Supreme Court to be con-
stitutional. will be distributed to resi-
dents of Newark and neighboring cities
who formerly lived in New York.
Many persons who lived in New York
at the time of the enactment of the
eighty-cent law and thereafter. and
paid the excess. have moved to New
Jersey since. and have been watching
with interest the development in the
case.
As the bill to test the validity of the
law has been ordered dismissed, the In
ference is that the holders of the cou-
pons issued against the deposits will be
entitled to the excess they have paid
for their gas, although no mention of
this is made in the memorandum.
The decision reversed that of Judge
Hough, of the Federal court at New
York. that the law enacted by the New
York Legislature was unconstitutional
because tho rate was confiscatory. 1t
agreed with the lower court that those
provisions of the law fixing the stand
ard of pressure and providing penalties
fo9 failure to maintain certain stand
ards of cdrdle-powN and pressure were
void, but declares that these defects do
not affect the remainder of the act, as
it can be enforced without them. The
effect of the decision is to dissolve the
injunction to prevent enforcement of
tho law
Justice P%eckham's memorandum
shows that the principal point of diff
ference between the court and the
lower court in the matter of confisca-
ton arose out of the valuation of the
company's property, including fran
chises and good will. The court elimi-
mated the amount set down as good
will because the company has a practi-
cal monopoly of the gas supply for New
York city, and finds that as there is
no competition, no allowance should
be made for good-will Substantial re-
auctions are also made in the valua-
ions of the franchises, which alto
gether so reduce the total value of the
company's property as to establish that
tho S0-cent rate would yield a return OF
al least 5 per cent, and with the In
creased consumption that would fol-
low the lower rate. probably 6 per cent
or ever more. This the court finds to
be a fair return and not confiscatory.
In order that no injustice be done the
company in Ease the practical test of
the law should prove that the S0-cent
rate is inadequate to produce a fair
and just return from the property. the
court orders the bill dismissed with
odt prejudice" which will enable the
company to again apply for relief if the
rate proves unremunerative.

The singing of the principals was a
revelation to many critical music

was of such a superb order that most
of the popular numbers had to be
given again and again. The prima

bly, the role of 1.-THE Merry Widow"
She sang and acted with verve, dash
and grace. Her efforts were seconded
by Fraulein Ilona Thury. who, though
a very young woman, played the part
of Prince Danilo to perfection. The

DR.. MACKAy.
DID NOT LOSE HIS
GRIP IN NEW YORK
Statement That Former Newark
Pastor Was Buried Alive
Is Secuted.

The charge that the late Rev. DR..
the most influential and eloquent minis
ters of Newark, was buried alive in
New York when he vacated. his pulpit
here to accept a call there, was refuted
to day by dozens of the pastors New
ark friends, and his record in Man
haitian. The statement made to this
effect by the Rev. Charles p. Mac
Gregor, pastor of the First Baptist
Church, of Pittsfield, Mass, formerly
of Bayonne and New York, was secuted
as ridiculous.
AS pastor of the North Reformed
Church, DR.. Mackay was known here
as a powerful preacher. He was not
only active in religious Hfe, but was
a strong force for good in the COM
munity, his friends declare, and with
his great personal magnetism and elo-
quence, won a place while here in the
foremost ranks of American preachers
which he maintained and strengthened,
rather than lost, while in New York,
An examination of the record of DR.
Mackay's activities in New York show
that until the last he was in the fore
front Of the religious and civic life OF
the metropolis. A eulogist at his flu
neral said that "He won men in crowds
first to himself, then to his Master and
the Church." He attracted to his
church not only an army of wealth and
fashion, but of all of the rich churches
in the city, non vas so noted for the
number of poor that gathered under it,
roof.
The breaking of DIR. Mackay's health
was attributed to his zeal and devotion
toward the lowest of the slums. Hi
was ever helping at missions in thC
congested districts. and was especially
interested in the Jerry McAuley Mis-
sion.
