Many farm is yielding al least a

These items, namely, food, fuel. and

Maltbie Denies Plea
For Edison Case Delay
Statements Untrue, Says City
Chamberlain in Letter
to Straus

CITY Chamberlain Milo r. Maltbie
sent a letter yesterday TO Oscar Straus,
chairman of the Public Service Com
mission, denying that he had asked for
an adjournment of the New York Edi-
son rate case for a few days IL order
20 look after "the interests OF his
clients in Boston" Public Service
Commissioner Travis H. Whitney had
been quoted as saying Mr.. Maltble
asked for a postponement so that he
might attend to the interests of pri-
vate clients. =,
these statements are untrue" the
Chamberlain letter reads. Il never
made such statements or any similar
ones TO any commissioner | had no
plans to 20 10 Boston"
Mr.. Maltbie explains that when he
learned the hearing had been post
poned until June 7 he asked that an
adjournment be taken, as he was seized
uled to attend a meeting Of the board
Of trustees Of the Upper Iowa Uni
versity on that date.
THE other comments made by Mr..
Whitney" the letter continues, SHOW
bias which speaks for itself. While
| was a member of the commission the
rates of the New York Edison Com
pany were reduced about S3,250,00O
per annum If the other members OF
the commission in 1914 and 1915 had
agreed with me the rates would at
that time would have been reduced by
about 81 100000 more per annum."
