GAS CASE TAKEN FROM JUDGE GIBBONS
CHICAGO MAY GET BACK TEN MILLIONS

as a rebate on their inflated gas bills
for the past five years. Richberg also
wants the company's books opened.
He is so sure of obtaining this priv
lege from the court he has asked the
city to include in the budget an
amount to be expended in an inves-
tigation of the books and a corps of
engineers to analyze the figures
brought in by the accountants.
The gas committee of the council
is satisfied the way things are going.
They told Richberg to go ahead and
decided to call in this morning
officials of the company to explain a
portion of their letter to the coun-
Gil in which the company cried for
quits. 1t offered to start making the
rates all over if the city would only
leave them and their $10,OOO,000
alone.

AlRlLY GLAD DANCERS KEEP
FORD PARTY FROM PARTY

Copenhagen, Jan. 6. = Because
some airily clad classic" dancers
were on the program, Ford peace
party will not attend reception ar
ranged by local society of Esperan-
fists, it was announced today.
Had the matter been put to a vote,
the invitation probably would have
been accepted by an overwhelming
majority. But the Rev. Jenkin Lloyd
Jones and other members of the
steering committee decided classic
dances not strictly symbolical of the
movement for peace.

peace conference is nearly complete.
Sven Lange, novelist; Olaf Forch-
hammer, president of Copenhagen
Peace society, and Commodore
Blume, Arctic explorer, are the most
prominent personages.

denies from the bedside of his sick
sister in Philadelphia that he con-
scented to the city's legislation against
the gas company being taken from
his court. He has sent letter to cir
cult court judges defying them to
take it away from him and saying he
would readily assent to the reassign-
ment if he thought the gas consum-
ers would be benefited by the change.
Many months ago Atty Donald
Richberg, representing the city, ask
ed Judge Gibbons to change the case
from the superior to the circuit court,
saying that it was chancery mat,
ter, not one of law. Gibbons refused
to do this. He sent the case to
master in chancery, where the COM
pany's books were brought out and
partIy opened. Upon the masters re-
mort he denied the city the right of
impounding $10,000,000 oVercharges
of the company and the whole open
ing of the company's book that the
real manufacturing cost qf the price
of gas could be obtained for a fair
rate making.
Then Richberg asked the circuit
court Judge to take the case. He
called Judge Gibbons conduct "a
scandal in the administration of JUS
time" So 'in the interests of Justice
he asked the case to be transferred.
1t was.
For the first time in the history of
the court a case has been taken away
from a Judge who has announced his
desire to handle it.
Gibbons is not expected back for
several days and this morning Rich
berg appears before Judge Frederick
Smith to ask to have Judge Gibbons
order, which sent the suit to mas
ter in chancery, vacated. If this is
done the ruling based on the masters
report will be void and the city can
start all over again in its attempt to

ut is also true that there are men
now, a great many men in the bellig-
erent countries who are growing rich
out of the sale of the materials needed

somebody has got to make money out

such prices available for hogs the

years ago started suit for half Of the
estate OF Winfield Scott Stratton. late
multimlll!onalre mining king, was
thrown out OF court by County Judge
w. =. Kinney at the conclusion OF
several days of evidence. He declared
his decision that the claimant was not
the widow OF Stratton, according to
the testimony given by witnesses.
Ills specific findings were:
That from Dec. q, 1873, to Jan. 2,
1874, Stratton was In or near Colo.
RADIO Springs, and not In Texas, where
Mrs. Chellew claims he was.
That A. n. Poor. first husband OF
Mrs. Chellew, died IN 1875, and that
therefore the claimant was Mrs. Poor
at the time she claims TO have mar.
ried Stratton:
That the claimant was not married
to Stratton Jan l. 1874, In Texas, as
set forth In her complaint.

suit as far as his court Is concerned
