house was told frankly by one of his friends that the financial world did not esteem him very highly as q fnancier, his reply was, What is d fnancier?' He regarded it as something that was worthy of esteem that he had created and developed one of the greatest of American industries In the time of his grievous business trial, he nevertheless Was convinced that sooner or later his would justify the abounding laith which he had in them
 The report which was made by the directors of the Westinghouse company, on Tuesday of this week, reflects not only Mir. Westinghouse plans, but also the highly competent manner in which those who, after his death two years ago, succeeded him in the management have conducted an industry which on March 31, 1916, represented $S2, ,G0O00O of assets and $56,00O,O00 of capital stock These figures are exclusive of those which represent the New England Vest inghouse company
 There are several details in the West inghouse report which have caused much comment. The publication of the report in all It's details has been spoken of as
 reflecting the new spirit of publicity. This publicity makes it possible to learn that notwithstanding the large amount of war orders the corporation put upon it's books it has been occupied with heavy manufacturing, apparently to meet domestic demands. This serves to prove the truth of the statement which has of late been made by those who should know that notwithstanding the great amount of war orders Ameri- can industries have received they are  facture of commodities which are not classed with war orders.

 TOLERANCE IS ENDED
 "The government of the United States, in view of the improper meth ods employed by the British and French authorities in interrupting mails passing between the United States and other neutral countries and between the United States and the enemies of Great Britain, can no long CT tolerate the wrongs which citizens of the United States have suffered and continue to suffer through these meth ods.
 To submit to a lawless practice of this character would open the door to re- peated violations of international law by the belligerent powers on the ground of milit;rv necessity of which the violator would be the sole judge. Manifestly a neutral nation cannot permit it's rights on the high seas to be permitted or de- nied arbitrarily by the government of a waring nation The rights of neutrals are as sacred as the rights of belliger- ents, and must be as strictly ob- served.
 The government of the United States, confident in the regard for international law and the rights of neutrals, which the British and French governments

Some hint of this was given recently
 in the annual report of the United States Steel corporation. Occupied as, the cor. poration is, practically to the ent of it's vast capacity, neverthelessS nly a small part, almost none, of it's output represents directly war orders.

Reason for Raise.
The commission holds the opinion
that an increase in rates is required
by the company to provide for its
fixed charges, and that temporary
schedule be operative during the time
the commission engineers are making
an appraisement of the used and use
full property of the gas company for
the purpose of providing the commits
sion basis for establishing perma-
nent gas rate schedule.
The commission also holds that the
company is now entitled to earn inter-
est on it's investment in the old arti-
fetal gas plant, which must be held in
readiness to serve at all times. This
plant will be included as part of the
company's used and useful property
when the appraisement is made.
The commission yesterday afternoon
authorized the establishment of pref
erential electric power rate for the
Richmond municipal plant. which was
petitioned for some time ago, and
which is similar to the preferential
rate authorized for the Light, Heat and
Power company over a year ago.

ACCIDENT VICTIM
IS UNCONSCIOUS
after "a HOURS

Mrs. Henry Robe 643 South E street,
one OF the seven victims of a runaway
accident yesterday, after a funeral,
was still in an unconscious condition
at o'clock this afternoon and her
condition is admitted to be very criti-
cal. 1t is believed she is suffering
from a brain hemorrhage. Her skull
was not fractured as at first believed
Mrs. Robe jumped from the carriage
while the team was running at full
speed and alighted upon her head.
Edward Hiatt, South Fifth street,
who attempted to stop the team and
was knocked down, trampled and run
over by two wheels, was not as seri-
ously injured as first believed, his
his physician said today. A rib on his
left side was fractured and he receiv-
ed numerous bruises on the left side of
his body, especially over his hip.
Mrs. John Englebert, 80 South
Third street, who also jumped from
the carriage is confined to her home
with sprained wrist, very bad cut
eye and painful bruises The three
other women who were in the carriage
have practically recovered from the
slight injuries they received.
An insurance agency which holds
the casualty policy of HATS employ
er. John Schallenburg, a plastering
contractor, was today trying to dis
cover whether Hiatt can receive COM
pensation under the terms of the COM
peHsation law. He was engaged in
his employers business at the time of
the runaway but of course his effort
to stop the frightened te. n was a
voluntary action on his part 1t is
said, however, that VIII Schallenburg,
who was on wagon with Hiatt, told
Hiatt to try and stop the team. The in
surance agency does not believe this
order given Hiatt by Will Schallen-
burg would make John Schallenburg
responsible for the injuries received
by his employee.
