Features of Plan
TO Pay Gas Rebates

No Interest will be paid to gas consumers, but the
accumulated interest will be used to hasten the dis
tribuion.
All consumers are sure of getting their rebates,
whether they have kept their receipts not, as Il
monthly return was required by the United States
Circuit Court, and has been made by each company
in the Gas Trust since May, 1900, showing the exact
amount to be refunded to each consumer.
Gas receipts will not be recognized by the United
States Circuit Court negotiable paper, and unless
the original consumer has made proper legal
assignment of his claim with the seal of notary
attached, his gas receipts in the hands of another
will not be considered by the Special Master in
charge of the gas fund.-
will be off sections probably the follow
lng order:
Group A-Tlose who have kept all their gas receipts,
or who prefer bookkeeping credit with the Gas Trust for
the amount due them.
Group B-ThoSe who have kept only part Of their
tep who have lost Them failed TO keep any receipts.
Group C-ThoSe who have undergone change in a1-
reSs ard have obtained gas from more than one of the Gas
Trusts subsidiary companies.
Group D-Those who have left the city, OR who are
known 10 te heirs OF gas consumers
Group E--ThoSe who have bought gas receipts as
speculation and hold proper legal assignments from he
original gas consumers
Group FThose who may be cassei as possible tigans,
who either dissatisfied with the returned to them

Admits That Mayor Mcclellan
Took a Hand in Selecting
Land Appraisers.

In testifying to-day before the Cas-

the financial condition Of the city, Cor
p-ration Counsel Pendleton admitted
that the method now followed in con-
demnnti1n proceedings ARE about as
bad as the mind of man could devise. "
He then d!lated on the lack OF knowl-
The conflict Of testimony Of the expert
witnesses and the hapha2ard methods
| In bringing out the evidence. The pro-
ceilings should be tried in the regular
curtis, Mr.. Pondeton declared, and a
special term Of the Supreme Court
should be set aside for the purpose.
| The salient feature against the pres
| ont method he said, was that the cases
were not tried before judge or one
competent to bring out all the evil
/ denCe. Another point against the So.
called trials he declared, was thhat
the witnesses whose testimony was
contradictory were not confronted by
each other in open court.
Mr.. Pendelton declared that he sug-
gested the names of men to act as
condemnation commissioners to the
Court, and when for any reason these
names were unacceptable he substi-
tuted others. Only one person sug-
gested by hi mhad been rejected by
the Court

Chairman Cassidy then asked about

Nobody suggests the newspapers to

by Mr. Cassidy. II have never had any
conversation with the Mayor on this

Publishing Company, and the District
Attorney. Judge Ward continued the
subpoena argument until o'clock, when
Delaney Nicoll, OF NicOll, Anable &
Lindsay, also representing the Press

subpoenas were suspended in operation
while remaining in force.
Mr. Bowers, who opened the proceed
ings In chambers, argued that the sub
poenas against the two gentlemen whom
he directly represented were void and
of no effect because Of a violation OF a
principle of law which had always been
recognized bv the highest courts OF this

holds that when a person Is sumomned
