MUSKOGEE, Dec. 71.-Officials of
the Muskogee Gas & Electric Co. to-
night announced that the company
would guarantee to this city con-
tinuous supply of natural gas at
cheap rates for a term of three years.
Although the citizens committee has
as yet taken no steps in regard to
the guarantee and the municipal pipe
line, it is believed that there is now
no necessity for building the line be-
cause the corporation has offered the
city everything the city proposed to
offer manufacturers after the build
ing Of the line. The announcement
by the company comes after several
conferences with city committees and
after the city had taken an option
on the Checotah gas field. Offering
of the guarantee is considered as a

London, April 29.-The house OF

definite accusation was made and
passed over by the government with.
out denial that the firm of j. p
Morgan & Co, purchasing agents in
America for the British admiralty and
war Office, had misused their position
by placing important contracts with
firms with which they themselves are
affiliated and that further they have
refused tender of goods only to pur
chase the goods at the tender price
offered and then sell them to England
at higher rate.
The accusation was made in form
of inquiries put to Lloyd-George by
Mr.. Mooney. Irish Nationalist, and in
part seconded by Sir Richard Cooper
Unionist
The chancellor practically evaded
the questions. Mooney put his ques
tions In writing and Lloyd-George re

cy and economy and the government

railroads serving this territory was
found not justified.
The railroads are ordered to main
