UANvILLE LIGHT COMPANY
SUED FOR HOTEL FIRE

A $4,000 damage suit against tho
Danville Electric Light Company for
losses sustained when the Gilcher hotel
was burned three years ago was taken
up in the Circuit Court at Danville.
Moore Brothers, who operated the
hotel, Lovitch, whose store was des-
troyed and T. o. Miller, who also los:
his store are the plaintiffs, contending
that the building was ignited by the
electric wires. The company denies
this allegation, but declares that even
il the fire did start in this way that it
had nothing to do with wiring and
maintaining the wires in the GilcheT
hotel, but merely furnished electricity
to the establishment over the wires
that had been installed by the hotel
owners.

FOOD QUESTIONS
OCCUPY CABINET

Washington. April 24.-Food condi-
tions in several of the entente nations
have been reported as critical and as
result President Wilson and his ad-
visers at today's cabinet meeting con-
centrated their attention upon what is
being done to increase the food sup
ply Of the United States and provide
additional ships to carry produce to
Europe.
Realizing that it will take time to
make more plentiful American har-
vests, the immediate object Of the gov
ernment will be to prevent waste and
systematic distribution and exporta-
tion of foodstuffs SO that the best pos
sible use can be made Of supplies al
ready on hand.
The entire weight of the administra-
ton Is to be thrown behind the recon-
mendations of Secretary Houston to
congress to strengthen the government
machinery for controlling the food sit
uation. The administration desires to
be in position to direct the flow of
surplus food to the friendly nations
where 1t Is most needed.

who has just returned from a study of
the big fish in Florida waters. to which
he went on special mission from

some varieties furnished filets as
delicious as swordfsh steak
He studied four species and declares
that the fact that they are not valued
as food fishes seems to be due entirely
to prejudice.

new EARNING MARK
SET BY j. S. STEEL
More Money Made in Quar-
ter Than in Full Year in
Some Instances.

New York, April 24.--All previous
high records in the history of the
United States Steel corr Grafton, both
as to earnings and dividends, We're
surpassed in the first quarterly report
for the current year issued today
Earnings were $1l3,121,O1S. more
than the corporation has earned in a
full year in some instances, and an
extra dividend of 3 per cent was de-
clared on the common stock, in ad-
dition to the regular quarterly dividend
of IA per cent on that issue and IA
per cent on the preferred. The dis
bursement on the common amounts to
more than $al.6O2,OOO.
The per cent extra is an increa sc
of IA per cent over the extra dividen
declared in the previous quarter and
an increase of . per cent over those
Of the second and third quarters OF
last year. 1t makes up, with about
per cent to spare, for the deferred div
idends on the common stock during
the period between the fourth quarter
of 1914 and the same quarter of 1915
when poor earnings caused a complete
suspension of disbursements on thu
common stock.
Three months earnings are an in.
crease of $7,152,67l over the fina
quarter of last year and net income o
! $103,33O194 represents a gain of ST.,
00s,5s4. The surplus for the quarte
| was $69, 9,S369S1, which is only a sligh
| increase because of the extra sum re-
quired to pay the enlarged common
dividend.
On the basis of these figures earn
ings on the common stock were a
the annual rate of about $12 per share
