or vital interest 10 consumers OF gas
In Washington is the decision reached
by the gas companies to drop their APP
peal pending IN the Supreme Court Of
the United States from the decision Of
the District Court OF Appeals, involving
the right Of the District Supreme Court
to make a valuation and recapitalization
Of the gas properties.
The gas trust has been endeavoring for
years to increase its capitalization 20
about SIS, 100000. and had been depending
upon the stock imitation law passed by
Congress in 1896. Although this law was
repealed at the close OF the last regular
session Of Congress, the gas interests stu
clung TO what many lawyers called
forlorn hope, and sought 20 accomplish
their ends on the ground that they insd-
tuted their proceedings before the appeal
Yesterday, however, Corporation Coun-
sci L. II. Thomas stated that ne had been
notified by r Ross Perry, chief counsel
for the Washington Gaslight Company,
OF the intention OF that company 10 drop
the appeal to the Supreme Court The
appeal viii be withdrawn. and MI.
Thomas stated that tho necessary motion
may DC AileA any Jay
Tactics Abandoned,
This means the abandonment by the
gas interests OF tactics which have met
with the stoutest opposition from the
| Commissioners, citizens associations, and
citizens generally. That portion OF the
washington public which is opposed to
any Increase OF capital without material
reduction IN the price OF gas is inclined
10 believe that the impending withdrawal
Of the appeal means that the gas inter
ests are clearing the decks for renewed
action along some other line.
The act OF June 8. 1886. which was sub
| seduently appealed. provided that gas
companies should not increase their capt.
tai except after receiving permission from
the District Supreme Court. This tri-
bunal, in determining the limitation was
20 make a valuation OF the property and
could authorize no issues in excess OF
the actual value OF the property
When, more than two years ago. th'
/ GEORGETOWN Gas Company asked that q
valuation Of SIS property might be made
so that its capital Of $4,000 could bt
doubled. every one saw that without in.
reference the capital Of both gas com
lpanies would be greatly swelled. Il
looked as though the public would have
20 pay an increased meter rate In order
: that returns might be earned on th'
increased securities.
The unconstitutiOnality OF the act Of
1895 was attacked BY Corporation Counse
Thomas A divided Court OF Appeal.
bore him out Then appeal was made tC
the Supreme Court. and after the act OF
Congress itself had been repealed. th'
lawyers for the gas interests insisted
that as proceedings had been instituted
before such repeal, rights had vested.

FAKE STUMP REMOVER
Farmers in This Section
Warned to Look Out for
Swindlers Selling Stump
Eradicator.

Farmers are cautioned BY the
Agricultural Experiment Station
OF the College of Agriculture of
the University of Wisconsin to
beware of swindlers who are
selling socalled chemical stump
remover In the letters and al
vertislng matter this material is
claimed to cause stunps to rot
completely within thirty DAYS,
i merely poured into an auger
hole bored two feet into the
stump They claim chat stumps
have been removed at cost of
four cents and FIVE minutes labor
per stump
The Agricultural Experiment
Station has conducted tests on
materials Of this character and
has proven conelusivelv that
stunps cannot be rotted IN this
manner. This fake was exposed
by the station a year ago, but
many farmers are still being de
ceived by these swindlers, accord
ing to evidence now in the hands
OF the station authorities.
