NEW COMPLICATION MAY
DELAY CHINSE LOAN
French Diplomats Want Equal DlVl"
sion of Control of Railway
Construction

LONDON, Nov. 30.-Another COM
nlication threatening to delay the con-
cIusion of the international negotla-
tions for the Chinese railway loan mas
arisen. ,..
The French financiers, who hereto
fore have taken but little part in the
discussions, leaving the matter IN the
hands of the British bankers largely
now intimate their desire that there
shall be an equal division of the con-
troll of the railways construction.
This development, coming at thc
moment when it was hoped an agree
ment between the German and BRUSH
groups had been reached, completely
upset the calculations of the BRITISH
diplomats. These, it is understood mad
agreed with view to settling the mat
ter TO concede certain German de-
mands. The French, however, consider
England has yielded too much and
thus the whole matter Is likely to be
reopened ,,..
Nevertheless, there is a probability
that the German proposal made some
weeks ago that the powers should join
in urging China to grant concession
for and a division of control of the rail-
ways construction will be taken up
again.

PASADENA LIGHT
RATES LOWERED
CITY PLANT CONTRACTS WITH
TWO HOTELS
Reduction Made as Business PROPOSE
ton and Not to Compete with
Edison Company, It Is
Said

PASADENA, Nov. 30.-Big cuts in
the citys lighting rates, going into
effect tomorrow, were announced in the
city council today simultaneously with
the reading of two contracts which
take over the lighting, heating and
power business of the Hotel Maryland
and of the Hotel Raymond for per-
iod of two years and a half.
The business of the Hotel Raymond
is a new departure for it lies outside
the city limits. In the contract, the
city is protected by a provision that If
the welfare of its residents demands,
it may terminate the contract on thirty
days notice, but not during the heav-
lest part of the winter season. The
Maryland inserted d provision allowing
it to put i'm a private lighting plant if
it wishes to do so.
The now lighting rates are GU
of / cent straight through the various
classifications It's highest rate is cut
from s to cents per Klowatt, as
against the recently announced meter
rate of cents offered by the Edison
company, it's corporation competitor.
It's lowest lighting rate is 3 cents. which
is lower than the Edisons lowest rate.
Its lower rates, cents down to 10
cents per kilowatt, is also a big re-
ductlOn.
The developments today form the
most decided forward step the city
has taken in its competition with the
private lighting company, which it
has forced to abandon fiat rates" and
adopt a meter basis. city officials ad-
nit that the Edison rates will probably
look attractive to transient customers,
but they figure on attracting the tax
payers who established the city plant
and on competing strongly for heaviest
users of current. They contend that
their cut today is not to meet the
Edison low rates. but is a business
proposition, the rates being warranted
by the business secured thus far.
