partially, if not entirely, eliminated.
In the month of January, 1910 when
the rate was $500 per thousand cubic
feet, the company sold 9O2,1OO cubic
feet Of gas. In the month Of April Of
that year, the price was reduced to
$3.50 per thousand cubic feet, with a
discount of 5 per cent for prompt pay
ment, making the net rate $1.71,
which rate has prevailed since that
time. Notwithstanding this reduction
in rate of 29c per thousand cubic feet,
the amount of gas sold in January,
1911, was only 95S,SOO cubic feet, and
an increase of only $1,000 cubic feet
over the same amount sold in Janu-
airy, 1911, as shown above, when the
rate was $500 per thousand cubic
feet.
This shows that merely reducing the
rate for gas will not increase the
sales, as the increase shown is only
nominal increase due to the growth of
the city, in fact 1t is not as large in
proportion to the growth of the city
as 1t should have been.
From the 9th of December, 1911 to
the 9th Of December 1912, or In 9th
or words, what is known as the month
of January in the Company's reports,
1,171,7O0 cubic feet Of gas was sold,
showing an increase Of 212,9OO cubic
feet over the amount consumed in Jan
uary, 1911.
It will be noted that the increase
for the year 1911 is much greater than
that for the year 1910 This Increase
is due probably to the fact that an
active campaign for more and new
business was made by the company in
the spring Of 1911, at which time they
had a solicitor engaged in canvassing
the city for new customers, and they
also did a large amount of adyertis-
ing in the promotion OF the sale OF
gas
This campaign was continued as
long as they felt that It was bringing
in sufficient results to justify the ex-
pense. The number Of new customers
which we're being secured each day
gradually became so few It did not
pay to continue the campaign any
longer, and It was discontinued

FEAR MADERO IS IN PERIL
Washington Officials Doubtful
of Issue-Des Moines Sent.


Washington, oct. 1.-THE Madero gov
eminent In Mexico Is now seriously
rnenaced and is in grave danger, In the
opinion Of officials in Washington who
are competent to judge OF the significance
OF the revolt under the leadership Of Felix
Diaz. nephew Of the former President.
The younger Diaz is admitted to have
many friends both In the federal army
and among the rebels now In the field.
II is realized that there is a possibility,
II not a probability. that the various fac
tons or elements now opposing the Ma
dero administration may unite under his
leadership. Should this come to pass, II
is believed here, the Madero government
would probably be overthrow.
Dispatches to the Department of State
from Mexico confirm the reports OF the
uprising in Vera Cruz and add that there
is much sympathy for Diaz in Mexico
City. Practically all news Of the latest
revolt has come from Mexico City, 1t
being reported that the federal lines are
refusing messages, alleging that communi-
cation with Vera Cruz has been inter-
rupted by a severe cyclone. The messages
received indicate that the Diaz revolution
Is growing rapidly.
Expecting trouble at Vera Cruz and
possible battle in the event that the fed
erals attempt TO recapture the city, the
Navy Department to-day issued an order
for the crI1xer Des Moines, which IS due
10 arrive at Progreso. Yucatan, tonight,

protect American lives and property.
