COMPANY
PLANS DELAY

and by a vote of three to one voted
to close the case. 1t was learned. that
the expert witnesses were secured by
the state at q considerable expense
and it could not be expected that these
witnesses would be held to suit the
pleasure of the representatives OF the
gas company to cross-exaIhtne them
and bring in rebuttal evidence. es-
oecially in view of the fact that the
defendant had indicated thst it would
not proceed further in the case.
The hearing of this case was started
at wheeling last October, where a
large number of witnesses from botn
sides were heard by Commissioners
Ogden. At that time 1t was the gen
eral understanding that the gas COM
pany had closed its case. The hearing
was then continued until DECEMBER
and later was ordered to be trans-
Perred to Charleston. Evidence was
taken here in the proceedings and Of
the behest OF the consumers an adj
tournament was taken until January
4 90. at which date 1t was resumed here
and again continued until last Mon
day, February g.
At that time "A. Leo We'll, who has
been chief counsel for the Manufac-
turers Light & Heat Company, at
tempted to have the commission dis
qualified from hearing the case IuF-
Their but in this effort he failed and
his reflection on the commission re-
suited in his withdrawal from the
case. He was followed by associate
counsel and later the officials OF the
company, who had been summoned
here. ignored the subpoenas of the
commission and fastened from the
jurisdiction of the commission. SO

party who remained here. has been

In the Action of the Public Ser.
vice Commission of State
of West Virginia.
tspac,AL 70 rAE TELEaRAN3

CHARLESTON, Feb. 17.4That the
Manufacturers Light & Heat Company
OF Pittsburg, through its counsel, has
been not only attempting to en-
barrass the Public Service Commis-
sion of West Virginia, before whom
it's application for increase in gas
rates affecting thousands OF consum-
ers in the northern part of the state
is pending, but has been pursuing a
policy planned to delay definite action
by the commission, was the statement
last night of those who have been fol-
lowing closely the trend of events in
the case.
This attitude, it was declared, was
emphasized by the demand made upon
tho Public Service Commission Sat
urday afternoon by Solicitor w. G.
Neal, representing the gas corpora
lions, for an indefinite extension OF
company representatives the oppor-
tunity, whether they desired to take
it or not, of appearing at some later
date before the commission and cross
examining the expert witnesses en-
ployed by the commission to make an
investigation of the facts bearing up
on the case.
This demand made by Solicitor
Neal, following as it did the voluntary
W1IuQTaWaI Oh ASll1Sl SOGnSSA w SAA GAA40
the other attorneys representing the
gas corporation, came as a distinct
surprise as it had been stated that
the company would take no further &c
ton in defending the case pending
before the comomission, in which Its
rights, both as to maintaining its rates
and of increasing the present rates
charged consumers, were involved.
Mr. We'll, who was chief counsel fol
the gas company, withdrew OF his
own accord from the case last Monday
after he had been sternly rebuked
| by Chairman OFT for casting 'refec-
\ lions upon the integrity of the com
mission and then failing in any sem
! blance of substantiating what was
considered a slanderous allegation.
/ The hearing of the case was con-
| cluded by the commission. Friday al
| ternoon and an adjournment was ther
taken to Saturday afternoon to give
] an opportunity for representative:
of the Manufacturers Light q Hea
| Company or any other person to cross
examine the expert witnesses, who hat
been called in the case.

BLEEDING Kansas" Part in War
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

IT HE admission of Kansas to
the Sisterhood OF States,
IS years ago. was the main
act OF the drama which, beginning
with the Missouri Compromise
Of 1920. and extending through
the exciting campaign for the
Kansas Nebraska act Of 1854. was
TO have Its Aaal denouement in
the booming of guns at Sumter
and the gathering OF the hosts for
battle.
Clay's well-meant measure, the
Missouri Compromise, admitted
Missouri as a slave State, but
prohibited slavery in all other
territories west Of the Mississippi
and north OF parallel $3.50;
measure that would almost Ger
tainly have worked like a charm
but for the invention OF the Yam
kee schoolmaster Eli Whitney.
A little moro than twenty years
before the great KentuCkian got
his famous compromise through
Congress. Whitney invented the
cotton gin. machine that is al
most equal TO Watts steam en-
gine in its influence upon history
But for Whitney's invention the
question of slavery would never
have become a menace 10 The
country. AT first slavery existed
in the Northern as Wen as the
Southern States, but owing to Tvs
unprotitableness It soon practical
ly died out north OF the Mason
and Dixon line. and bur for the
cotton gin would unouestionably
have had the same fate in the
South.
Thirty years after the enact
ment OF the Missouri Compromise

OF a natlon). the trouble began To
brew. and a short armistlce was
