ANSWER NOT READY
Presidents Reply Why He Recognized
Carran1a Was Due Today.

Washington, Jan. 19.-After a con-
ference with President Wilson early
today, Senator Stone, chairman of the
senate foreign relations committee,
found that the Mexican information
called for by Senator Falls resolution
was not ready for the committee
meeting today
Senator Stone said he intended to
ask the committe to pass on the nom
ination of Henry p. Fletcher, as am
bassador to Mexico. so that it might
come before the senate, but he would
not try for confirmation until the in
formation requested by the Fall reSo-
luton was received.
Democratic leaders of the senate
hoped for a favorable report on the
Fletcher nomination Immediately, al
though it was admitted that owing to
Republican opposition no progress
could be made on the confirmation
pending the receipt of the presidents
answer to Senator Falls resolution.
State department officials were
busy today assembling the informa-
ton in the hope of finishing it in
time for it's presentation by the presi-
dent to the committee. Before doing
so the president was to go over the
data carefully. The data includes
among other things a record of out
RACES against Americans in Mexico
since Madero's overthrow, correspond
ence between the state department
and its representatives there and re-
suits of the investigation of the story
that the Americans killed at Santa
Ysab had been granted safe conduct
by CarranZa authorities.

ON PUBLIC UTILITIES
Profit Reward of Good Management
kiersted Tells Kansas Engineers.

Manhattan, Kan, Jan. 19.-Profit
should be regarded as the reward of
good mana cement in making rates for
pubic service properties, according to
w Kiersted, of Liberty, Mo-, who
spoke before the annual meeting of
the Kansas Engineering society here
today Mr.. Kiersted, who is rccog-
nized as an authority in this section,
took as his subject Value OF Public
Service Properties and discussed pub
lie utilities from a point o. view of
economies, laying stress on the hu.
man factor in questions relating TO
value in rate making, contending that
rate fixing bodies too frequently over
look this factor in purely technical in
Yestigations of such questions.
"A relation exists between value
in use and value in exchange" he
said. Both labor and capital should
receive adequate compensation. Yet
a replacement return is indispensable
to unlimited life Of property, and in
fixing r,ltcs that feature should be
taken into consideration.
Wages, supplies, rent, taxes. inter-
est, replacement and profit all repre-
Sert expense of production to be con-
sidered and all determine the use
value of the service and the property
through which the service is ron
dered
In rate making the question of val
ne cannot arise until after the rates
have been predicated upon a definite
rate making base and this base is
related TO cost, or Investment, rather
than to the present value of the prop-
erty. Consideration Of the work of the
service rendered to the buyer, under
the monopolistic conditions, the mini
mum service rate as measured by
margina! utility and the maximum
rate to certain large consumers all are
factors in rate ma king. Another thing,
the value IN use to both the seller
and the buyer is measured by the
economic expense of production"
Mr.. Kiersted also discussed the
exchange value" of a public utility,
pointing out that by exchange value
he meant the value recognized in the
purchase OF sale of a public service
company or of the service rendered
by the utility

REFUGEES REACH N. Y.
Greek Liner Brings 800 Serbian Sol

New York, Jan. 19.-The Greek
liner Vasilles Constantinos arrived
here today from Athens with 800 Ser
bian soldier refugees and their fami
lies on board. AS soon as the liner
reached quarantine twenty of the
Serbians were taken off and sent to
the quarantine hospital. The quar-
antine physicians later announced
that the twenty persons removed were
afflicted with vermin of the type that
carries typhus and would be kept
under observation.
Most of the refugees were said to be
reservists who were living in this
country at the outbreak of the war
and were summoned back to the col
ors. There were also on board seven
members of the University of Column
bias Red Cross service who were re-
turning from Serbia.
