An interesting point in regard TO rail
roads and industrisls is the fact that even
in 1907, when Stock Exchange securities
went tunbling down owing TO lack or
confidence and general liquidation, PUBIC
utilities OF TIE gas and electric light. heat
and power class moved steadily upward,
end by comparison, from the beginning of
the year, formed an acute angle. There
ore strong reasons for this public conh-
dsnce. Anaiyzng the fundamental strength
Of the securities. with the exception OF
lie use o: gas and electricity for lighting
ard heating. even independent OF power
rsrt of which may he employed by indus
tries which are affected by favorable or I'M
favorable financial periods, there has been
and is a constant increase In the consump-
lion OF gas and electricity throughout the
country. Gas and electric corporations are
allied 10 municipal organizations, and may
b. classified as quasi public service corpo-
.ations. They are as much part Of a
municipality as any other of its organic
branches, and the growth OF municipalities

creased consumption. independent OF GOOD

municipalities Of the United States IS APP
Fortunately 81 per cent. On TINS basis

SCHARF CLAIMS
VINDICATION

WASHINGTON. Feb. 9-Dr. Emil
Scharf. editor OF the Catholic News
Agency, who was ousted from the
Knights oG Columbus last fall, follow
ing an investigation by the order Of
accusations made against him ON the
floor of the House by Representative
Ben Johnson. of Kentucky. said last
night that he has been cleared Of the
charges by the national board of the
organization. DR.. Scharf declared he
had received telegram from the ma
tional secretary, notifying him Of his
exoneration.
DR.. Scharf was convicted Of the
Johnson charges, that he had ap-
preached the kentucky representative
and offered to swing the Catholic votes
in Mr.. Johnson's district during the
latter's last campaign for reelection.
Following his conviction, he was OK
PEELED from the organization.
The hearings on the charges wero
secret, although the main facts leaked
out. EDr. Scharf declared last night
that his conviction was due to the
fact that he had refused to appear al
the hearing and enter any defense. The
verdict was changed, after he had told
his side of the case, he declared.
Granted a Hearing.
He applied for a rehearing, he said
last night, and his request was grant
ed. He appeared before the national
board at a meeting held January 16
in New York, and made a statement
"As a. result Of this appearance
was exonerated Of the Johnson
charges, but there is still the minor
charge OF having brought scandal upon
the ORDER" said DR.. Scharf. last night
Joseph A. Mudd, grand knight of
the Washington Knights of Columbus
said last night that he had heard OF
no such action having been taken by
the national board, despite the fact that
he received a communication from the
national secretary only a few DAYS
ago. He indicated that he thought
Dr. Scharf might have made a mis-
take in the meaning of his telegram
From other sources il was learned
that the understanding of the local
Knights of Columbus is that the first
verdict of the national board was only
slightly modified, and that DR.. Scharl
has not been cleared OF the johnson
charges.
