ELECTRIC COMPANY
ASSENTS TO VALUATION
BY THE CITY'S EXPERT
Director Cookies Long Fight
eliminates in Concession
by Counsel for Other
Side
SURPRISE AT HEARING

After a 20 months fight. Director Cooke
acting for the city of Philadelphia. won
a big point in his complaint against the
Philadelphia Electric Company when
counsel for that company today granted
permission for an expert appointed by the
city to make physical valuation of the
property
The permission was the surprise of the
day in the hearing before the Public
Service Commission.
1t came when William Draper Lewis,
chief legal representative of the city at
the hearing, announced that he had con-
cluded his cross-examination of Prof.
Dougal c. Jackson, of the Boston Insti-
tute of Technology who made the prop
erty valuation for the Philadelphia Elec-
trio Company.
Mr.. Lewis, in announcing that he was
through with Mr. Jackson, addressed the
commission, and said:
I'VE have only one request to make
We want to check up the findings of the
company's expert with the findings of
our own expert. To do that II Is neces-
sary for our expert to personally inspect
all the plants and stations of the COM
pany, and we want the commission to
order that this be allowed"
To the surprise OF every one Frederick
w. Fleitz. chief counsel for the Phila-
delphia Electric Company, got up and
said that the city's expert would be made
welcome, would be accorded every cour-
tesy by the Philadelphia Electric Com
pany and also every assistance. 1t was
an especial surprise, for all along the
Philadelphia Electric has interposed
strenuous objection to every suggestion
along this line.
Frederick W. Ballard. chief engineer
of the Cleveland Municipal Electric
Light Plant, will make the investigation
and resultant valuation on the part of
the city The pnnt he manages furnishes
the people of Cleveland electricity at the
maximum rate of three cents per klo-
watt hour. The corresponding rate of
the Philadelphia Electric is l2 cents per
kilowatt hour,
In concluding his examination of Pro-
fessor jackson, Mr.. Lewis brought the
admission from him that in all the 12O
volumes of inventory he has brought be-
fore the commission, he has not furnished
one complete blueprint OF any power sta
tion or substation of the Philadelphia
Electric, thus making impossible a COM
parison to the members of the commits
sion between the physical appearance and
the facts as listed in the inventory.

PREVENTION OF COLDS.
"Tbe prevention of colds consists, first,
in avoiding the infection, and, secondly
in guarding against the predisposing
causes. Contact should be avoided with
persons who have colds, especially In
street cars, offices and other poorly ven
tilated spaces, where the risk of persons
coughing or sneezing directly in ones
face is imminent Contact with the In
fection may further be guarded against
by a careful sef-educatlon in sanitary
habits and cleanliness, based upon the
modern conception of contact injection.
Colds, like other diseases conveyed in Sc
cretions from the nose and mouth, are
often conveyed by direct and indirect
contact through lack of hygienio cleanli-
ness and disregard of sanitary habits.
kissing, the common drinking cup, the
roller towel, pipes, toys, pencils, fingers,

the fresh secretions will transmit the

THE predisposing causes of colds in
cflide a number of conditions that de-
press vitality and thereby diminish re-
sistance. The mechanism by which i'm
is lessened has been mentioned.
The principal predisposing factors In

exposure TO cold and wet, overwork, loss
of sleep or insufficient rest. improper
food and other conditions that lower the
general vitality of the body.
"a special word concerning drafts Is
necessary. Drafts in themselves cannot
produce an infectious cold. The first
symptom of the disease is a chill, which
is not the cause, but the effect of the
II is q common belief that
the cold is caught when the chill occurs.
The rigor frequently consists of only a
transient chilliness. and it is during this
time that the individual thinks he feels
a draft which is producing his cold.

told Magistrate Harris. before whom vio-
lators of the food laws we're arraigned,
that So per cent of the "buttermllk" con-
sumed In this city is OF the manufactured

cordIng to Mr.. SINNERS, is made of skim
milk, obtained from large yestern dalrles.
This is dried and made into powder,
which Is shipped to this city 1t is then
mike with water and a small proportion
of tactic acid. The mixture makes a more
pleasing drink, SINNERS said. than the
natural buttermlk. but from Il nutritive
standpoint, II Is useless, as he asserts it
contains little OF no butterfat.
The agent also told the magistrate that
a dealer In this city, who sold the natura.
product, recently had to close his busi-
ness because his customers were taken
away by man selling the manufactured
"buttermilk."

hearing a good laugh when he presented
his evidence against Dora and Jonas
Lassansky, of 1901 South 9Th street, VINO

$500 ball for court. accused of having
rotten eggs in their possession. Accord

grabbed the bucket of eggs and ran up
another stairway with them.
With SINNERS In close pursuit, Boros-
sky Travelled to the second floor three
steps at Il time. meanwhile finging broken
eggs In all directions. The stairway and
walls were decorated with the stuff and
not more than a quart of 1t was left when
the baker finally hid 1t in a closet, but
SINNERS got this. Borossky threw away
the stuff to prevent II being tested, Sim

M'DERMOTT HURLS HAT
IN RING FOR U. S. SENATE
Willing, He Says, to Let Jersey
People Make Amend for
Error in 1910"

TRENTON. Dec. 16. - Frank McDer-
mott, OF Essex. ex-Assemblyman, who
was a candidate for the Democratic in
doresment for United States Senator
against James E. MARITIME in 1910, while
In the State House yesterday announced
that he would again enter the ring for the
senatorial toga and that ne would be in
the race to win. Mr. McDermott re-
marked that he had dropped into the cap
ttol TO refresh his memory on the fight
OF 1910 by taking q look at the petitions
filed at that time by Mr.. MARITIME.
Mr. McDermott then said:
"It is just as I remember it. 1t was
filed. you will observe. on October %.
Just 81 days prior to the holding of the
primary. OF course, my good old friend
Sam Dickinson had n kindly feeling for
the farmer-orator and he succeeded in
getting the notice required by the laws of
1907 to the county clerks in time to have
Mr.. Marines name OF the ballots. That
was going some. inasmuch as the law re-
quired that notice should be transmitted
by the Secretary of State to the county
clerks at least 20 days prior to the holding
of the primaries
"A glance at the MARITIME petition at
that time might have indicated that It
was somewhat irregular. both as TO FORM
quality of paper used and other things.
An examination of the petition would
show that a large part of the signatures
were obtained upon tissue paper. How
ever. the prospect of success at that time
was so remote that did not consider it
worth while to contest the validity of
the petition, and my modesty not only
resulted in the Hon. James f. MARITIME
winning, but being your United States
Senator for six years.
II am ready and willing at the next
primaries TO let the people of New Jer-
sey make amends for their error on that
occasion by permitting the use of my
name as a candidate Instead of one pc
tition with 1000 sgners. think by way
of innovation | will have 2l."

BRITAIN FAVORS
CHANGE OF CHIEFS
ON FRENCH FRONT
Selection of General Haig,
Hero of Mons, Enthusi-
astically Greeted
EXPECT FRENCH RECALL
Gradual Retirement of Com
manders in Preparation for
Spring Drive
LONDON. Dec. is.

LONDON, Dec. rs.
Appointment Of Sir Douglas Haig as
commander-in-chief of the British forces
In France and Belgium was received with
enthusiasm here today.
With the elevation OF sir Douglas. the
return of Field Marshal Sir John French
to command the armies in Great Britain
and the dispatch of General Sir Horace
Smith -Dorien to Africa, it is understood
that Lord Kitchener has completed the
chief steps in the greatest military shake
UP the British army has ever received.
The promotion of General Haig makes
the Scot warrior the youngest commander
in-chief I'm Europe. He will be So years
old next June. Despite the fact that he
is much younger than other European
commanders, Sir Douglas has nevertheless
been a popular hero since the retreat from
Mons, which he prevented from becoming
a rout.
FRENCH RECALL NO SURPRISE.
The recall OF Sir John. "at his own in
stance" the official announcement
says, occasioned no surprise in England
among those who nave been close observ-
ers of the military situation. Following
the war council held at Paris 1t was un-
derstood that Sir John would retire from
active field service. Certain considera-
tions made sUch a step essential
Sir Douglas Haig, previous to the pres
ent war, had won fame by his brilliant
cavalry tactics, which had caused his col
leagues to nickname him won HaiE."
His cavalry conceptions have had little
show on the west front since the early
weeks of the war. but he had adapted
himself to the conditions as they have
changed. He was promoted to full gen
eralcy in November 1914, for distinguished
conduct on the field and was praised in
dispatches by Marshal French. The lat
ter has been created a vscount.
MORE CHANGES PENDING.
Commanders who have been held re-
sponsible for the failure OF the British
offensive at Loos. in September. are TO
be transferred to less important posts.
There will be a gradual replacing of field
commanders before the expected spring
offensive.
The wave of criticism that first beat
about Lord Kitchner turned against Gem
eral French. after the British failed to
make any considerable gains in the allied
offensive of September. II was realized
that General French was about to be sup
planted. but to the last he retained the
friendship of the public, II not their con-
1dence.
