months work on this problem I think
we will be successful in the end in
getting the $1O,OOO,OOO refund. The
overcharges to the city itself will
more than pay the expenses of this
litigation and, besides, permanently
reduce the rates to the people"
Yesterday committee of judges,
consisting of Jesse Baldwin, Chas.
Walker and Frederick Smith, took
the case away from Judge Gibbons
because the administration of the
business of the court deemed it adj
visable."

MAKES MOVE. TOWARD GIVING
MILLIONS IN GAS COIN BACK
TO CHICAGO USERS

TO CHICAGO USERS
Atty Donald Richberg sees a $10,-
100000 rebate to the people of Chi
cago by the gas company. He told
the special aldermanic committee on
gas litigation this morning of the
great victory the city had won in get
ting the gas case out of Judge Glib
bons' court and was instructed by
them to push the case with all posi-
BILE speed. The $10,00O,00O is over
charges.
This afternoon he will file an ap-
pearance before Judge Smith and
tomorrow will appear to ask to have
Judge Gibbons order which sent the
case to master in chancery vacated.
If this is done it will nullify the re-
port of the master in chancery upon
which Judge Gibbons denied the
city the right of impounding the
$1O,O00,0O0 alleged overcharge and
the opening the companies books for
investigation.
The committee also decided to ask
the officials Of the gas company to
appear before them tomorrow morn
ing to explain the references made
by them in letter to the council in
which they asked to have the suit
stopped so that new rates could be
made.
A request for $1SO,OOO appropria-
ton in the new budget to press the
suit and to make the investigation,
if it were allowed, was granted by
the committee.
THE city is in no place to make
new rates." Richberg said. You
should first have information on how
the gas company has been operated
for the past five years.
1.-The whole effort of the city should
be directed to open the books of the
company. When you have the infor-
nation these books contain then is
the time you should make new rates.

WILSON PREPAREDNESS PLAN
MEETS STRONG OPPOSITION

Washington, Jan. Sunless ma
terially modified, President Wilson's
preparedness plan is beaten. This is
the opinion, authoritatively learned
today, of the administration itself.
Detection of Senator Kern, senate
Democratic leader, from the forces
working for the great army and
navy program outlined by the presi-
dent in his message to congress was
the final proof to the White House
that it's plans will not carry. Kern's
decision that he cannot support the
program became known today. That
the people of Indiana are opposed is
Kern's chief reason, it is said.
This leaves the preparedness pro-
gram unsupported by. the leaders in
both houses. Kitchin, house majority
leader, has held off from the first,
but Kern, warm Wilson admirer. has
been expected to. lead the admins
tration's senate fight.
The wave of sentiment for a great
preparedness program, which a few
weeks ago was sweeping the coun-
try, has reached its crest, some adj
ministration leaders think. Today
President Wilson is receiving many
discouraging reports. The opposition
centers upon Sec'y Garrison's army
plan. The people back home" don't
like it, many congressman report.

DETROIT TO GET PITCHER ERICKSON
 OF COAST LEAGUE

New York, Aug. 9.-Eric Erickson, the young right handler, whom John McGraw tried out in the fall of 1914 and the spring of 1915 and who has been pitching good ball for the San Francisco club of the Pacific Coast league, will revert to the Detroit Ti- gers at the end of the coast season. President Navin of the Detroit club recently notified Harry Wolverton,, the manager of the Seals, that the Tigers would exercise their right to Erickson and fled Oldham, the southpaw, at the end of the season.
 Erickson is a strapping big right handler who displayed lots of stuff but little knowledge of how to use it when McGraw was looking him over. After trying him out at Marlin in 1915 Me- Graw released Erickson to Rochester Eric was one of the players John Gan- gel took with him in the jump to the Brookfeds.
 Erickson has had trouble with his arm recently, but according to Vol verton has overcome many of the faults Le displayed while being looked over by McGraw and is now ripe for the big leagues. -I~

OFFER S5l),0O() TO
 WILLARD ID MEET WEINERT IN WEST

New York, Aug. 9.--And now comes Harry Pollok, director of the business destinies of Freddie Welsh lightweight champion, and of Charles Weinert, a heavyweight championship hopeful, and declares himself thus:
 "The Hundred Million Dollar Ath- 1etic club, which is staging the Welsh White championship contest at Col orado Springs on Labor Day, is al- ready after another big attraction. Yesterday I received the following wire from Eddie Pitts. matchmaker.
 "We are prepared to offer Willard $5O,OOO to box Weinert for the heavy weight championship. What are your terms? Answer immediately
 "This looks as if Weinert's persist ent efforts for a crack at the heavy weight title are to be realized. Wein- ert is recognized as the leading con- tender for Willards laurels. and has found it impossible to get such men as Fulton, Moran, Morris, Dillon. or Coffey to meet him."
 Pollok thinks the proposition has numerous characteristics of attrac- tiveness. Meanwhile Willard calmly pursues peaceful pursuits with cir- GUS.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1s1z--Jacik Geyer defeated Frank Moran in rounds at San Francisco.
 This little statistic is one of several of . similar kind which make it diffi-
 cult te understand why Moran was ever seriously considered as a conten- der for the heavyweight honors. Gey- CT, the Denver heavyweight, never got anything like the publicity that the Pittsburgher has received, and yet he
 a4et only defeated Moran, but he also whipped Gunbeat Smith, knocking him eut ia rounds, at about the same time that Smith defeated Moran. Jim Sav- age and Tony Ross also bested the widely advertised Smoky City pugilist.
 Yet for ali these defeats it was Moran who rot the chance to meet Jack John- son in Paris two years ago. Moran's beut with Jack Dillon was but another
 pro0k that Moran, although he has his points, is net to bs considered among e9e ta1-netchers of the heavyweight
