The C;ty's Rate Cases

proceeded as follows: The city passed
certain ordinances fixing rateD as the
Iowa statutes authorized 1t to do. The
company secured an injunction from
the federal court restraining the en-
forcement of the ordinances on the
ground that the rates were not ade-
uuate. The city demurred to the right
of a federal court to have Jurisdiction
over this case In which both parties
resided within the state but the federal
Judge. Smith Mcpherson, Overruled the
demurrer holding that the right OF con-
tract declared in the federal constitu-
ton was involved since the company
had commended that the existing rate
ordinances passed by the city council
several years ago conS ituted a contract
between the city and company. The
city then filed a cross bill of discovery
asking the company to disclose In writ
ing much vital information as to its
earnings. The company demurred to
this as not being germane to the con-
troversy since it involved the testimony
which It intended to produce IN the
trial and the federal court sustained the
demurrer. The actual trial Of NJ case.
including the testimony Of experts and
examination OF books will be held at
the pleasure Of Federal Judge McPher-
son.
Company Must Prove.
The local attorneys for the city will
have to scratch for all the information
they get. The company claims that the
city's rates are not adequate but the
company refuses to answer any ques-
lions as to Its earnings or cost OF pro-
ducing its utilities and the federal court
protects II in its refusal. However, the
burden of proof Is on the company to
show that the city's rates are not ade-
quate so 1t will have to introduce EVIL
dence as to its earnings sooner or later.
# the city's rates are really not ade-
auate in fact II would seem that the
company would have jumped at the
chance to show its earnings and costs
so as to prove its contention and end
the litigation or 1t might have been
afraid to make any written statements
for fear the books would not sustain
them.
Compromise Will Be Offered.
The prediction can be safely made
that there will now come offers to COM
promise in order to prevent the case
ave coming to trial. Senator Van Law
is getting some experience in his case
which ought to sustain his faith in a
bill which ne has introduced In the
legislature designed to give city
councils the right OF access to the
books Of a public service corporation
when fixing rates.

PACKERS TRY
TO CURRY FAVOR
Talk Of Lower Prices Of Meat
Has No Foundation,
Say Dealers
RETAIL BUTCHERS OF
CHICAGO ARE ANGRY
By United PCS Leased speclal WIG

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
CHICAGO, Nov. 17.--"All this talk
of reduced prices for meats has no
foundation. in fact. The big packers,
alarmed by impending federal prose-
cutions are trying to curry favor with
the public and to make the retailer the
goal In the whole affair"
This is the explanation here to-day
of the United Master Butchers of
Chicago of the interviews recently
given out by J. Ogden Armour and
other beef barons" In which the as
sertion was made that meat prices
we're on the toboggan and that the con-
sumer would soon find It cheaper to
eat porter house steak than to go
hungry.
If we can be assured by the pack
ers,' said the master butchers as
sembled in regular meeting, mot In
newspaper articles, but by signed con-
tracts that they will reduce the price
of meats to a certain amount and
keep them reduced for, say three
months, we will be glad to make cor
responding reductions to our custo-
mers.'
There is no doubt the retail butchers
of Chicago are angry. AT the meeting
tales Of alleged impositions by the
packers were frequent and the charge
was freely made that the statements
of reductions already put through
were not borne out by the facts. 1--WE
are helpless said President
Edward Levy of the butchers. I'VE
don't make a big profit. They say,
why, you pay II 1-2 cents for lamb
and charge % cents. But what do we
charge 25 cents for? For six pounds
of chops that come out Of a 40 pound
lamb. All the other cuts are loWor and
if We make 90 cents on q lamb that
costs So we are lucky. You must re-
member that the packers make their
own terms when they sell 30 us.
The butchers are unanimous in say
ing that meat prices are appreciably
lower than at this time last year, but
object to the packing Interests giving
out the idea that heavy price cuts are
TO be expected at once or in the neal
/ future.

GIVEN POISON
In MISTAKE

Five patients at the Delaware Hos
pital on Tuesday evening We're given
solution of bichl0ride Of mercury m mis-
take for EPSON salts, the error having
been made according 10 e hospital
authorities. by DIR. Dunkleberg, the
house physician
The bottles to filled with the salts
solution were 81 10 the laboratory by
the nurses and in some unaccountable
manner the physician made mistake
and put bichlorido instead Of salts in tie
bottles. The resemblance between the
two is SO close that il was not noticed
that an error had been made until the
patients began vomiting from the effects
Of the poison. o.,
Two of the men who were given the
poison in mistake are now dead. One
of the men who expired is Edward Jor-
dan. of Second and Orange streets. who
was seriously hurt several days ago by
falling from a building at Eighth and
Lombard streets. He died yesterday.
Whether his death was due to the poi-
son or to the effects of the fall from
the roof is to be determined by the
Cororer's jury.
The second man to die was p. Raj
nev. OF 800 e. Eighth avenue. a ship
builder who was suffering with menin-
gifts. He was in a critical condition
prior to being given the bichloride IN
mistake and there is practically no
hone for his recovery from meningitis.
The three other patients who were Civ
en- the poison are still in a serious con-
dition.

NOW is TIME TO ENTER
$4,000 PRIZE CONTEST

back at least part of what IL has snent
in prizes, in new subscriptions. and, in
addition, to advertise itself and make
new friends.
As a matter of fact this contest has
been launched by THE JOURNAL as a
combined circulation and advertising
campaign. II wants to have more new
readers and make new friends and to
have the attention of all the people in
its territory attracted to its merits as
newspaper. 1t is perfectly willing to
pay handsomely for this.
Liberal Prize List.
A $4,000 Automobile may be con-
sidered a most liberal prize, but such
prize is in keeping with the policy
of THE JOURNAL not to do things
by half. II was this same policy that
dictated the purchase of forty-one
other valuable prizes. Ten thousand
dollars is a lot of money, but this
money THE JOURNAL cheerfully
paid for it's prize list and it already
feels that it did not make a mistake
when it decided on this big expendi-
ture.
A splendid opportunity is offered
large number Of people throughout
the State of Delaware to profit by
this liberality and. according to all
indications, it is an opportunity that
is not going to be neglected. It is well
however, to call attention to the fact that
nominations have just begun to come in
Hundreds or more are needed to make

DEMOCRATS WANT
CONGRESS QUIZ
Investigation Of Political Con-
ditiOnS Said to be Back
Of White Contest

The Democratic State Organization
is standing back of Robert C. White,
defeated Democratic candidate for
Congress, in his proposed contest of
the seat Of Congressman William II.
Heald. Republican, who has more
than 1000 majority. The Democrats
will try to nave Mr.. Heald deprived
OF his seat on the ground that there
was bribery at the election at which
he was chosen.
One of the objects of the White
contest, It was said to-day, is to
try TO bring about an investigation
by a committee of the Democratic
Houss at Washington, OF political cor
ditions in Delaware and to try to
put Republican leaders on the stand
at such an investigation. This is said
10 be desired more by some of the
disappointed Democratic leaders than
the unseating of Mr.. Heald or the
seating of Mr.. White.
State Chairman Thomas f. Bayard
says the Democratic State organiza-
ton will stand back of Mr. White in
his contest, and will assist in push
ing It with vigor.
None of the Republican leaders
would discuss the proposed contest
by Mr.. White to-day. Congressman
Heald was out of the city.
There has been some talk of the
Democrats making a contest OF the
seat of Senator Henry A. dupont
should he be reelected. Such a con-
test would have to be made in the
United States Senate. which is Re-
publican.

FACE CRISIS
Liberals Will Force Issue Of
Limiting Their Power
of Veto
KING GEORGE FAILS
TO BRING COMPROMISE

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON, Nov. 17.-Personal efforts
on tho part OF King George to effect a
settlement ID The crisis now threaten
ing the present system Of English gov
efnment have failed. instead the
House of Lords is to-day facing an
ultimatum from the Liberals that be-
fore November 2s they must consent to
pass the bill limiting their power Of
veto. else the issue will be put be-
fore the people I'm a general election.
This development Is the result to-
day Of King Georges hasty visit TO
London yesterday aud his summoning
of the priyy council. The King, it was
learned to-day, deems the present
crisis threatening to ihe entire sys-
TEN Of English government He there
fore came 10 London with the hopes
OF effecdng a compromise between the
Liberals and the Conservatives. This
will be thoroughly discussed both at
the meetings of the privy council and
the cabinet and still later when he re-
ceiyed Premier Asquith for a personal
consultation.
No Compromise, Says Asquith.
Asquith, however, refused to con-
slider for an instant the question OF
compromise, and to-day made known
the ultimatum TO the House of Lords.
The result was Keen disappointment
TO the King.
Nevertheless, the declaration that
King George considers the crisis the
most serious with which England has
been confronted I'm a century. has re-
suited I'm a hasty awakening OF the
Lords. Il is entirely possible now that
they will give up at least some Of their
present rights voluntarily in an effort
to save the government
Lord Lansdowne. leader Of the Con-
servatives declared to-day that the
upper house stood ready to do it's
share toward effecting reforms, and
would concede the abolition of the
hereditary principle and fuller rep
resentation of certain elements In the
house.
These tardy promises by the Lords,
however, were to-day looked upon
with suspicion by the Liberals and
the latter asserted they would still en-
force the terms of their ultimatum.

LICENSE CASES
Saloon Men Want to Know
Why RemOnStranCeS Should
Not be Dropped
COURT PASSES RULE FOR
FURTHER CONSIDERATION

Walter II. Hayes, in the Court Of
General Sessions to-day presented
petitions for a rule to show cause
why remonstrances against three sa-
looms should not be vacated from
the records. They were in the cases
Of Frank j Mcgowan. Dennis 4. Quill
and James Nolan. These remon-
strances with seven others were filed
by Philip L. Garrett, representing the
Excise League, on November A. The
saloons are long established places
and licenses have been granted to
them for years.
Commenting on Mr.. Hayes peti-
ton Judge Woolley said
This matter was up in another
form the other day when Judge Con-
rad and myself were sitting. at which
time / took a positiOn-with which
Judge Boyce is not familiar-that I
think should be stated clearly.
"The court Is very jealous OF its
duties and its conduct In the matter
of the regulation OF liquor licenses
which is a matter imposed upon the
court by the statute and in the court
is reposed the duty Of properly admin
istering the law
Mr.. Garrett then made an appli-
cation that ten OF these remonstrances
be Withdrawn. Personally, | opposed
their withdrawal on the ground that
If l were sitting on my regular as
signment and these applications and
remonstrances should be considered
by me. l would insist on the hearing
of all these remonstrances in order
to find out the substance within them,
and as ! am sitting, but as a substi-
tute. ! am doing for my associates
what l would want them TO do for
me-that is, to refuse the applica-
ton
Il am opposed 10 the introduction
