ducing the price, sufficient additional
business would be secured to justify the
reduction, and perhaps permit the com
pany to earn little more.
Due to heavy operating expenses,
caused largely by the necessity of re-
laying many of the company's mains
during the past year, on streets that
were improved with hard surface pave
ment during the summer, and also due
to the fact that we have not sold as
much gas as we anticipated, the gross
earnings have only a little more than
equaled the operating expenses, to say
nothing of paying interest on the in
vestment in the plant, or depreciation
on the apparatus and pipes.
/ therefore wish to correct the inn
preston that you unintentionally gave
yesterday, that a reduction in the price
of gas will be possible, and be made as
soon as we stop these leaks, since the
saving that will thus be effected will
not alone be sufficient to justify re-
duction at this time. We must obtain
considerable more business, and we are
going afer it hard during the coming
year.
l trust that you will find space avail
able in today's issue of your paper to
at least print the substance of what
have said above, as we certainly appre-
ciate the good will that the people have
manifested toward the company for
some time, and would regret very much
to be placed in a position Of apparently
having made promise to reduce the
price of gas, or to do anything else,
when we had not done so Intentionally,
and would be unable to live up to the
apparent promise.
Please pardon the length Of this let
ter, but l feel that it was possibly due
to the brevity of our previous conver-
sation that caused the misunderstand-
ing between us above mentioned.
Yours very truly,
w. M. HAMILTON,
Local Manager.

Cough medicines, as q rule, contain q

NO REDUCTION IN PRICE
OF GAS POSSIBLE SOON
Editor Capital Journal.

Editor Capital Journal:
In reading your article in yesterday Is
paper, entitled Reduction in the Price
of Gas Win Be Possible Before Long, y
l regret to not that l evidently failed
to make myself understood when was
talking to you about the matter of the
gas that is being lost in the business
section of the city. The idea that ]
meant to convey was this:
There are two things which must be
done before further reduction in the
price of gas can be made. One is that
the operating expenses must be reduced,
and the other is that we must obtain q
great deal more business. Since every
foot Of gas that is lost tends to increase
the operating expenses without any cor
responding increase in revenue, it con.
stitutes a dead loss which, Of course,
should be eliminated if possible.
There are one or two economies which
we hope to be able to effect before
long, such as that due to a reduction in
the cost of coal, and the freight there
on, but the greatest possibilities for re.
ducing the operating costs lie in putting
a stop to this loss of gas through lealsy
lpipes.
With regard TO the effect of greater
volume of business on the rate for gas,
I wish to explain that we could turn out
practically twice the quantity Of gas
that we are now producing with the
same equipment which we now have,
and with practically no additional labor
cost, and since labor cost is almost half
Of the total cost of operating, you can
readily see that the cost per thousand
cubic feet would be considerably less,
iw we were selling twice the amount of
gas that we are now.
AS you no doubt remember, the com.
pany reduced the price of gas on the
first of this year from $1.7l to $1.50
net per thousand cubic feet, in order to
comply with the popular demand for
$1.5O gas, and also in hopes that by re.

Gustavo a "Spender." !"

NEW YORK, Feb, 1a.-Gustavo Ma
dero made his headquarters In this city
during the early critical period Of the
revolution headed by his brother, Fran
cisco, and was a prominent figure for
weeks on upper Broadway and in the
financial district. This was two years
ago. With his father Francisco Madero,
Sr, and his brothers, Ernesto, Evaristo
and Gabriel, he was busy here financing
the revolution and held many confer
ences at his hotel uptown, presumably in
furtherance OF his plans Between con-
ferences he was not idle. his recreative
activities leading him the rounds OF the
white light" district, where he was JOY
ously welcomed as ''spender." Word
of his death was received with regret by
many In that district today.
Early in March, 1911. Gustavo Madero
and his family went to San Antonio, Tex.
to take charge of the revolutionary junta
there and later they Joined Francisco In
the field, moving to the capital when the
revolutionary cause finally prevailed.
