CLEVELAND WANTS THREE
CENT ELECTRIC LIGHT
(Ry United Press.)

s COLUMBUS, o., Dee. 15-Cleve-
land, the city that fought for and OBJ
tanned three-cent street car fares, to-
day opened its fight here before the
state utilities commission for three
cent electric light.
The commission heard arguments
by attorneys for the city against the
appeal of the Cleveland Electric II
Eliminating company to overrule an
ordinance setting three cents per Kill,
owatt hour as the maximum price for
electricity in Cleveland Counsel for
the company also was present.
The city presented data to show
that the Cleveland municipal light
plant has been furnishing three-eent
light at profit for more than year.
1t is the contention of the illuminate
Ing company that these figures are in
accurate, and that their own figures
show three-cent light at present is a
practical impossibility.
The next step in the fight for either
side is expected to be an appeal from
the ruling of the utilities mnission
to the state Supreme Court. Should
the city win its ease officials declare
it will lead to the purchase OF the
privately owned plant of the city.

MAY CLASH over
GARDNER INQUIRY
(By United Press.)

WASHINGTON Dee. ia sharp
clash between powerful elements in
congress and the administration over
questions of navy and army policy
is looked for at this session.
Large numbers of members, of both
Republican and Democratic parties,
say this country must wake up and
d. something with reference to pre-
paredness for defense. The Gardner
resolution for an inquiry will have
strong support.
President Wilson is opposed to the
Gardner resolution, and has no sym
pathy with the agitation of the ques-
tion of preparedness. 1t is expected
that will oppose allowing army and
navy officers to give testimony before
a commission named in pursuance of
the Gardner resolution if that is
adopted. 1t is entirely possible that
administration opposition will defeat
the Gardner resolution.
Secretary of War Garrison takes the
position that Gardner or any commit
tee in congress NAV have all the in
formation desired concerning the mil
itary establishment but that such in
formation must come through him and
not through "loose relations be-
tween army officers and congress. If
the rules committee takes up the
Gardner resolution, Secretary Garri-
son expects he will be the first wit
ness called, as the responsible officer
of the government. But Secretary
Garrison will probably refuse to de-
tail officers to appear before congress
to give testimony.
However, should the inquiry be
made, by no means will it be under
the control of the administration or
of the war department. Men will
probably be called in who are quite
as well informed about national de-
fense as army officers, and whose
ideas are well matured. Some of the
foremost adjutant generals of the
states may be called. Colonel Roose-
welt may be summoned Former Sec
reary of War Stimson is suggested as
a valuable witness. Prominent civil
ians who have given thought to the
policy of preparedness are likely to
be asked to give testimony.
