BATTLE CREEK, Mich. September
30.-Speaking to an audience which
filled a huge circus tent here this after
noon, Theodore Roosevelt assailed the
administrative record of President Will
son and urged the election of Charles
z. Hughes.
When the former President entered
the tent to make his first Michigan
speech on behalf of the republican can
didate for President he was given a
wild ovation. Roosevelt swept Michi-
gan in the presidential election four
years ago.
Climbing on table on the speakers
platform, the colonel read his prepared
address. 1t was devoted almost en-
tirely to an attack on President Will
sons foreign and Mexican policies and
the latter's support of the Adamson

No Opposition Likely.

Commissioner Newman said that
whfle he was not authorised to speak
for the rest of the commission. he felt
sure there would be 80 opposition to q
combine under conditions suggested.
One OF the reasons urged in favor Of
the consolidation, 1t is said, is that
overhead charges can be reduced.
which In turn will mako possible q

served by the Georgetown Gas Company
will pay at the rate Of s5 cents per

ginning today.
Oficers Of the Washington Gas Light
Company and Of the Georgetown Gas
Company yesterday stated neither of

Statements Of Companies.
At the office Of President Weaver of
the Georgetown company the following
statement was made:
To-day is the final day for dollar gas
in Georgetown. Beginning tomorrow
the new rate of IS cents will be made
effective. The Georgetown Gas Com
pany does not intend to appeal to the
courts for injunction and does not pur-
pose to resist In any way the applica-
ton of the new rate. This company will
gas pending final determination by the
public utilities commission OF the value
Of it's plant. etc"
Howard S. Reeside, president Of the
Washington Gas Light Company. said
that company would make no effort to
resist by legal proceedings the applica-
tion of the new rate of 76 cents. at
which Congress directed its gas should
be sold. '.fhis company" he said, will
obey the law and will not ask for pos
sible relief at the hands Of the courts.
The new rate will be put into effect Oc-
tober and will remain In effect at
least until the valuation of the com
panys properties is completed and the
findings of the public utilities commits
sion are announced"
Consolidation Is Possible.
Amalsamation of tho Washington
and Georgetown Gas Light companies
may follow the action of the public

Apparently authentic Information is
to the eject that the Georgetown
company Is willing to dispose OF Its
holdings at a reasonable price. ana
that the coming together Of the COM
panies, under certain conditions, would
receive the official 20. K" of the util-
tiles commission.
When asked last night as to what
might be the attitude Of the commits
sion in the matter. Commissioner
Newman stated that, personally. he
would favor such amalgamation, pro-
vided it was based on fair valuation
and would not lead to an increase In
rates.
He stated that the commission prac-
tically has concluded with the gas COM
pany tentative valuations. and that II
the corporations wish to combine they
can facilitate matters by cooperating
with the commission In establishing
the final valuations.

tions contradicted from one to six Of
the others"
The European policy of President
Wilson. particularly in the Lusitania
case was referred to as "humiliattng
and ignoble." The Mexican record OF
the executive was called "ruinous to
Mexico, dishonorable to ourselves and
Infamous from the standpoint, of hu-
Discussing tho Adamson bill. Mr..
Roosevelt charged that President Will
son, in urging passage Of the measure
by Congress, took his orders from
that one of the parties which he most
feared"
I'VE have seen In this country few
things more discreditable to our repre-
sentatives and more ominous for the fu-
ture of the nation said Mr.. Roose-
Welt, than the spectacle Of the Presi-
dent and Congress of the United States
being required to pass a certain bill
before a certain hour at the dictation of
