Business.

A weak stock market to-day. in
which nearly all issues dropped be-
low yesterdays lowest prices, was
Influenced by several causes. The
principal reasons were the report that
President Wilson is to persist in his
efforts to bring about peace, the be-
ginning of the Congressional investi-
cation into tho alleged leak" Of the
Presidents peace message. and the
fact that the public absolutely re-
fused TO go into tho market at all.
This threw the trading into the
hands OF the professionals and they
moved with extreme caution. Tho

HIGHER GAS RATE
AIM Of FIGHT ON
8O-CENT RULING
Brooklyn Borough Company
Makes Announcement -
Others to Follow Lead.
LONG DELAY IN SIGHT.
Attorney General Gets Referee
for Injunction Proceeding
Companies to Appeal.

Brooklyn gas companies are leading
the way in a general attack on so
cent gas laws. with the boldly an
nounced intention Of raising prices
higher than before.
Meanwhile every technical device of
law and court procedure Is being used
TO delay the so-cent law passed last
spring from being put intc effect
against the Kings County Lighting
Company and the Brooklyn Borough
Gas Company. operating in the Thir-
tieth and Thirty-first Wards of Brook
iyn.
Both OF those companies arc charg-
ing tho old rate OF 95 cents under
cover Of q temporary injunction In the
Kings County Company case, but the
excess Of is cents per thousand cubic
feet paid by each customer is being
impounded by order Of court pending
Anal decision.
Tired OF the apparent game of
dodge and delay practised by the
companies In not pushing their action
to test the law. the Attorney Gen.
eral OF the State recently applied for
appointment OF referee 10 begin
taking testimony and hasten along
proceedings. Justice Greenbaum. in
Supreme Court yesterday. granted an
order. but to-day counsel for the
Kings County Company gave infor-
NAL notice that they intend appeal
ing from this decision 10 a higher
court.
II this plan OF stalling along on
every technical objection continues. Il
will be possible to stave of for
months trial OF the main Issue. The
merely preliminary question of an
pointing a referee can be carried I'm
to higher courts for prolonged delay.
The gas companies are making their
fight this time in State courts instead
OF Federal courts. as was done in tho
original eighty cent gas case brought
by the Consolidated Company ten
years ago. The United States SUI
preme Court laid down the rule that
a rate must be tried out first to see
whether Il is confscatory before COM
panies can get Federal courts to stop
II. The State courts. however, are
more lenlent and are permitting the
Brooklyn companies to block the law
before it is actually tried out.
A circular letter was issued TO day
by the Brooklyn Borough Gas Com
pany to It's stockholders explaining
the fight II Is making against the
so cent law, saying:
with this law your company has
omitted to comply and 1t has begun
suit to annul the law because the
rate Is conflscatory. We believe the
courts will be convinced that the
Legislature made a mistake.
"As soon as the suit Is decided We
shall then ask the Public Service Com
mission 70 allow us to increase the rate
to be charged for gas sold to price
commensurate with the increased cost
Of manufacture and distribution"

PAPER
CALLS ON GERMANS
TO EVACUATE FRANCE.

AMSTERDAM. Jan. b.-Signincauce
was attached 70 passage by Austro-
German censors to-day of a quota
ton from the Vienna newspaper Ar
bitter Zeitung asking the government
to discover II the Entente would
be ready TO negotiate peace after an
evacuation by Teutonic troops in the
west; and II so. that the evacuation
be mace Immediately"
Tho newspaper asserts the Entents's
reply "is a peace note-if rightly un-
derstood." q.
Significance attached to this des-
patch arises from the fact that Brit
ish sources have all along maintained
IL Germany was in earnest about
peace. she should evacuate Belgium
and that part of France she now oc-
cupies as a preliminary to peace dis
cussiOn.

Garrett asked IL Wood had any in

Representative Chipperfield Of
Illinois objected at this point to

general wrangle. which resulted in
Henry ceasing to interrogate, fol-

Representative Chipperfield then
asked Representative Wood " Baruch

Wood said, 'that he contributed 3s5, 900
to the Democratic National Com

Again wrang1ing broke out afresh.
Democrats objected and Republicans
contended that Baruch's contribution
was a very material fact In the In
