to lunch as usual with President Ar thur T. Hadley, after the Yale corpor- ation meeting.
 President Hadley was advised of this and accordingly invited the pres ident, Mir. Roosevelt Mir Griscom, MT Barnard and Secretary Norton to take luncheon together.
 President Hadley's house having been dismantled during the summer holiday, the luncheon was arranged at the home of Henry c. White, a neighbor and friend of President Had ley.
 When asked to state the subject of the conference, Secretary Norton said he knew nothing about 1t, except that an arrangement had been made for the meeting in response to a request from MT. Griscom. The latter pre- sumably was acting as the representa- tive of Col Roosevelt.

 Since the sherman episode Presi- dent Taft has been disposed to keep entirely out of the New York situa- tion. He had been reluctantly drawn into it in the first place, and after making his position clear, during the entanglement which followed the turn down of Col. Roosevelt for temporary chairman of the state convention, he felt he could leave the handling of the states affairs to the leaders in the state, including Col Roosevelt.
 Col Roosevelt left Oyster Bay by automobile and stopped at Bridgeport, on the way to New Haven to pick up MT. Griscom Mir Barnard joined the party here Col. Roosevelt landed in Now Haven on time for luncheon at 1 o'clock. The president left New Haven for Cincinnati at 3;16 p. m.

 and Unity.

Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 20.-The forty-fourth annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. which had its formal opening in At lantic City Sunday, may be the last The chief, Gen. Samuel Van Sant, declared he hoped to attend a great national encampm ent next year, when survivors of the Civil war, whether they be of the army of Lee, or Grant, or Longstrest, or Sherman. should rally around ono great camp fire and hold forth as brothers and Americans in peace and harmony. Hardly had the applause following these words died when a Confederate soldier, Gen. Hilary A. Herbert, for merly secretary of the navy in the Cleveland cabinet and during the war member of the staff of Gen Robert E. Lee, arose and declared the words of the commander-in-chief sounded the advent of an era of good feeling never before equaled
 South Will Aid Great Reunion.
 As a climax to his address, Herbert grasped the stars and stripes and said under that banner he wanted to see the heroes of the North and of the South unite. He extended his hand to Gen. Van Sant and declared that he and many of his brothers in the South would work for the great re- union of the blue and the gray.
 There are about 75,000 veterans in attendance. The first day they did little more than to register and troop up and down the board walk seeking out old campmates and the friends of the war times. The Philadelphia brigade held a reunion on the SteepIs Chase pier, and it was here that Gen Van Sant and Gen. Herbert advocated the grand reunion of the G. A. R. and the Confederate Veterans.

SELLS TWENTY MILLION FEET MORE GAS THAN IT HAD
 BOUGHT FROM WELLS.
DENIES USE OF AIR PUMP
Complaints of Consumers Reveal an Amazing Increase in Middleman's Hands--Oklahoma Commission
 Aboishes Minimum Charge.

Guthrie, Okla, Sept 20.-The Okla homa City Gas company buys it's gas of producing company. Then it sells the gas to consumers Meters meas ure the gas to the company, also to the consumers The auditor of the company testified before the state cor poration commission that the company sold, in June 2O,OO0, ,OOO feet more gas than it bought according to the me- ters.
 This statement was feature of the hearing before A. P. Watson, a mem Der Of the commission, who took up the complaints of Oklahoma City res idents that their gas bills were doub- ling and trebling without cause. Doz- ems of consumers testified that their bills had increased unreasonably. This showing was so strong that the commission took up the matter for an extended hearing.
 BarnsdaIe Is One Producer.
 The producing company which SUD- plies the Oklahoma City Gas company, owns a number of wells in eastern Oklahoma. T. N Barnsdall is one of the builders of the pipe line which serves Oklahoma City, Guthrie, Shaw nee, Chandler and a few other towns. The commission is taking up the gas situation in all of these towns.
 One of the first witnesses was an official of the gas company. He testi- fled, in explaining the rates charged that gas shrank about 15 per cent in local distribution. After the auditors testimony of the remarkable increase between the amount sold and the called and answered that he had noth ing to do with this part of the busi- ness. He and other officials denied that they had pumped air into the mains, thus increasing the product.
 One result of the hearing is that the corporation commission will here after keep check on the amount of gas bought and sold by the company and will see to it that the figures come somewhere near agreeing. The auditors figures for December, 1909, and January, 1910, showed that the June increase was not unprecedented.
 The commission has also abolished the minimum charge. The company placed a minimum charge on all gas connections of $1 month. Gas in Oklahoma is priced at 25 cents per 1000 feet and often householders used as little as 1000 feet, but were com pelled to pay the $1. The commission had the monthly bills examined with a view of determining how much the company profited from this charge and estimate that it amounts to about $7,000 a month.
 The question of selling price for gas in all cities on the pipe line Is to be taken up by the commission at once and adjustment made without regard to franchise stipulations. A general order preparing the way for others is that consumers shall be charged only for gas used and customers now served for so much a month. shall be placed at once on meter basis. This will force all of the companies on the pipe line mentioned to install addi- tional meters.
