PLOT TO MURDER
GERMAN EMPEROR
Rumors Of Such a Plot Prevail Follow
ing the Arrest Of Number of Mem
bers of Servian Students Club.

Berlin, July 9.-Much surprise was
expressed here today ut the news,
which leaked out in connection with
Wednesday nights arrest of a num-
Der of members Of the Servian stu
dents club, that the police were warn
ed some time ago Of a Servian plot to
assassinate the emperor.
Inasmuch as the Servians consider
that Austria is trying to deprive them
of their national iptcgrity, Archduke
Francis Ferdinand s assassination was
thought natural and plot against the
Austrian emperor would also be looked
on as what might have been expected.
Why the life of the emperor of Ger.
many should be sought, however, was
deemed surprising.
Men familiar with international af-
fairs pointed out that William un-
doubtedly was considered the real in
spiration Of Austria Is near eastern pol.
icy Even they admitted, however, that
they would have expected Emperor
Francis Joseph to lead William on the
list.

SITUATION IN CHINA
DECIDEDLY VOLCAN|CI
President Yuan shi Kai Closely Guarded
to Protect Him From Plotters Who
Threaten Him Continuously.
HE ALONE ABLE TO HOLD
THE GOVERNMENT TOGETHER
Impossible for Any But Trusted Ones to
Approach Him and His Danger Lies
in the Treachery of Guards.

Shanghai, July s.-For several weeks
past arrests have been made almost
daily at Pekin of plotters or suspected
plotting against President Yuan Shi
Kai's life, according to information re.
ceived from the capital today
News of them is suppressed as far as
possible, it was stated the government
being unwilling to have it known how
serious the situation really is. There
seems no question, however, that the
president moves in constant imminent
peril of his life and the opinion was ex-
pressed by judge of the situation that
sooner or later one of the plots against
him will succeed.
1t has been known here as well as i'm
Pekin for some time that the revolu-
ticnaries have brought their plans to
point where they certainly could speed
lily overturn the government, if Yuan,
the only strong man of the present
regime, could be eliminated. With him
in power, on the other hand, they have
hard fight ahead of them, always with
the possibility of defeat.
This explains their anxiety, while not
for an instant relaxing their efforts to
drive him out by countrywide cam.
paign, to hasten matters by the presi-
dent s assassination.
Indifferent as the Chinese are con
cerning their own lives, there has been
no lack of candidates to make the at.
tempt, said Pekin advices, but the main
difficulty has been to get within reach
of Yuan. He was declared to be the
best guarded ruler in the world and
repeated conspiracies to kill him have
been frustrated by the vigilance of his
attendants.
! Several times, however, persons in
his own suit have been enlisted in plots
against him and in few of these in.
stances his escapes have been very
narrow.
Execution of conspirators are common
occurrences, it was stated.
Conditions throughout the country in
the meantime, it was stated, are grow.

CALIFORNIA FIXES
RATES FOR POWER
Makes Another Step Toward Limiting
the Earnings of Public Utility Com
panies-Fixes This at 8 Per Cent.

San Francisco, July 9.-Somewhat
as q grocer delivers orders to his Gus
toners in community at fixed
charge, although some live farther than
others from his place of business, elec
tric power concerns viii deliver power
hereafter to the thresholds of the vari-
iOus cities of California which they
serve, at fixed rate. A decision of
the state railroad commission, pub
lished here last night, is to that ef-
feet.
The decision specifically fixes the
rate which may be charged for such
service by the Pacific Gas & Electric
company, by far the largest power
distributing concern in the state at
1872 mills per kilowatt hour. What it
will cost the consumer may vary ae-
cording to distribution costs in differ
ent cities; this rate is for the power at
the city gates, anywhere in the state
|. Valuation OF Property Made.
The rate allowed the Pacific Gas &
Electric company was made following
a valuation Of the cOmpany's property
which extends from the peaks of the
Sierras to the sea. Tie commission
worked on the basis of cost of repro
ductiOn wherever the plants were found
to have 100 per cent of the efficiency
with which they started in other
words, where they had been fully main
tanned and had not deprecated. 1t de-
elined, however, to allow much of any
thing for the eompa ay's value as a
"going concern" and took little cog.
nizance of reported costs of drumming
up business.
Further, it held unw1se expenditures,
and costs chargeable 10 poor business
management, must be Dorne by the
company and not by the consumer.
Eight Per Cent Interest Allowed.
On this basis, the cOmpany's prop
erty was valued roughly at $4,000 900.
The commission held that the company
was entitled to s per cent interest on
this amount. 1t also estimated the run
ming expenses, maintenance costs,
amount ehargeable to depreciation and
some like costs, and aiding these to
the interest allowance found that the
company was entitled 90 gross in
come of about $4,4O0,000.
Roughly speaking, this sum checked
was against the estimated amount of
power to get the cost per unit.
The decision was rendered by Com.
missioner Max Thelen. President John
Eshleman, concurring, asserted that
whenever the cost OF public service
privately conducted should be found to
exceed largely the cost of the same
service publicly maintained, public
maintenance would be found newt.
