Water and Light Company Given
Hearing But No Action Taken.

There was called meeting of the
city council at o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon which lasted until after night
fall. Mayor Maloney presided and all
the aldermen were present
The object of the meeting as publish
ed yesterday was to give the Water
and Light Company hearing on the
ordinance passed Monday making a
new schedule of charges for both wa
ter and lights.
Mr.. Preston, manager of the COM
pany, appeared in person and by his
attorney, Mr.. Robert Armstrong, and
an effort was made to show to the
council that the rates proposed by the
new ordinance were too low, unjust,
and would be hardship upon the
company. The company claimed that
under the new law new schedule OF
rates could not be made by the city UNI
less it could be shown that the com
pany was making over ten per cent
dividend on its investment. The

SIM; MUST EXPLAIN
Official Inquiry Into Naval Officers
Odd Remark.

Odd Remark.
Washington, Dec 29-Commandef
William s. Sims, commanding the
United States battleship Minnesota. OF
the Atlantic fleet. may be called upon
officially to explain remark he made
in London on Dec. 3. on the occasion
OF a dinner which was given by the
London authorities to the officers Of
the visiting fleet
Commander Sims was quoted at the
time as saying that it was his per
sonal opinion that in the event OF wal
between Great Britain and a European
enemy the English people could count
upon every man. every dollar and ev
cry drop of blood OF their kindred
across the sea
While such a sentiment would ordi.
narily attract but little attention, il
stirred up enough fuss to attract the
Official attention Of the secretary OF
the navy, for the German newspapers,
already piqued because the American
fleets cruise did not include German
ports, took up Commander Sims re
mark as the basis for more unfriendly
criticism.
It IS understood that Commander
Sims has practically admitted the ac.
curacy Of his reported statement, and
that President Taft now has the mat
ter under consideration. Any disci.
plinary action which may be taken
will probably be in the nature OF an
official reprimand, ii is said, as the
officers of the navy department do not
consider the offense Of sAhcient i'm
portance to warrant a court martial.

last ounce Of strength left to him,
Henry c. Beck, driver OF the Pitts
burg express over the Penlsylyania
railroad, shut on his eng.ie and
brought it to a stop at Wilmer sta
tion near this city.
AS the air clamped the brakes fast
to the flying wheels, and brought them
to halt, Beck sank into unconscious
ness beside his throttle. A few minutes
later he died in the baggage car as the
train. in charge Of his fireman, was
rushing to Lancaster In futile race
for aid.
When Beck left Philadelphia he
seemed in robust health. II he felt
any twinge of the fatal illness that
seized him while the train was in full
career later he gave no sign Of it.
As Wilmer station, FIVE miles east
of Lancaster, was approaching, Beck
was taken with the attack. He felt II
come on him, realized that he was
about to be overcome, and then work
ed with desperation to stop his train
before it should spin on with a nerve
less hand at the throttle. He shut on
steam and applied the air, and the

how grimly the stricken enginemar
