Twill find the answer in petition filed
before the public utilities commission
yesterday by Stedman & Soelke, at
: torneys for the league.
:, Every woman who wants more
electric service in her house, but
Z stops because the cost is high, should
know that the Commonwealth Edi-
son Co. charges just about twice as
much as the law says they can
charge" said Johnson.
g For cooking and washing, there
sis nothing more handy and labor
Saving about the house than electric
current and modern machines. There
is only one reason the price OF cleo
trio current is not cheaper and that
is because Samuel insult and the
Commonwealth Edison Co. have COR
snered the market, got monopoly
and are selling electric current at
nearly twice what it's worth, allow
ing them per cent interest on their
actual investment"
The petition filed yesterday says
net valuation of the c. E. & Co. is
-$23, 100000. Earnings on this last
year were $2,905, 098. This is too
much. And it's more than the util-
tiles law says they have right to,
the petition recites. Instead of 3d.
.905,098, it should have been 81, &c.

financial expense.
The company collected SIC, 100000
from Chicago people for electrical en-
ergy alone. On this gross profits
were 70 per cent, it is stated, and
therefore the rates of the company
are unjust, unreasonable, unlawful,
and a violation of the state utilities
act"
"The charge of 10 cents per kilo-
watt hour could be split in two and
there would still be profits running
into the millions for Mr.. insult and
the bankers and financiers associated
with him." said Seymour Stedman.
"Why should the housekeepers of
Chicago pay 10 cents an hour for
electric current when the Common
wealth Edison Co. sells the same sort
of current to the surface and elevated
lines for cents an hour? OF course,
the distribution cost to the surface
and elevated lines is lower and there
is less wiring and other apparatus
needed. But that won't cover the
difference between cents and 10
cents.
"The fact that Samuel insult is
head of the elevated roads collateral
trust at the same time he is head of
the Edison Co. partly explains the
game.
eff the people of Chicago owned
the whole electrical system and sold
current at cost, l believe the cost
would be much under 5 cents per xii
owat hour and perhaps close to 2
cents an hour"
The petition asks that the utilities
commission reduce the rates.

The Game of Gossip.

The Game of Gossip.
During the concluding days of the
voyage Elsa had her meals served on
deck. She kept Martha with her con-
,tinually, promenaded only early In the
morning and at night while the other
passengers we're at dinner This left
a clear deck. She walked quickly, her
arm in Martha's, literally propelling
her along, never spoke unless spoken
to, and then answered in monosy1-
tables. Her thoughts flew to a thou
sand and one things. futilely and vain
ly, in the endeavor to shut out the
portrait Of the broken man. What was
he doing, Of what was he thinking,
where would he go and what would he
do? She hated night which, no longer
offering sleep, provided nothing in lieu
of it, and compelled her to remain in
the stuffy cabin. She was afraid.
Early Wednesday morning she
passed Craig and Mallow; but the two
had wit enough to step aside for her
and to speak only with their eyes. She
filled Craig with unadulterated fear.
Mallow dragged along the gambler
whenever he found chance to see
Elsa at close range.
There's a woman. Cad! that beach
comber has taste"
II tell you to look out for her"
Craig warned again. Fl know what I'm
talking about"
Mallow whistled. "Oho! You prob

Craig nodded afhrmatively.
Thought so. Even Yokohama bar
maid will fight shy of boozer. I'm
going to meet her when we get to
Singapore, or my names not Mallow."
Craig laughed with malice ct hope
you will. It will take some of the brag
out of you. Say, let's go aft and hunt

his tricks. Among these was one
that the bird rarely could be made to

despised this act, as it entailed the put

ionged Indefinitely, Rajah put two
beads on the thread and tossed it
aside. The Lascars jabbered, the
Cinnamon grinned, and the chief en-
gineer's assistant swore approvingly.
The parrot shrilled and Waddled back
to his cage.
Fine business for whole mani"
Warrington looked up to meet the
cynical eyes of Mallow. He took cut
his Guilty and fired it. Otherwise he
did not move nor let his gaze sWerve.
Mallow, towering above him, could
scarcely resist the temptation to stir
his enemy with the toe of his boot. His
hatred for Warrington was not wholly
due to his brutal treatment of him.
Mallow always took pleasure in domi-
mating those under him by fear. War
rington had done his work we'll He
had always recognized Mallow as his
employer, but in no other capacity; he
had never offered to smoke a pipe

been no indication of weakness in
spirit.
