joke on George Carr in case the lat.
ter's winning streak kept up after he
returned to the game The cards con-
tlnued to fall into Carr's hands, and
rye suddenly pushed his chair back
and levelled the revolver.
George CarS, you've been cheatingl"
ne cried in melodramatic tones and
pulled the trigger.
To his horror a report followed and
Carr tell with a bullet hole in his

arrested on charge of homicide. The
Shurick boy was held as witness
and detectives awaited the return of
Dr.. and Mrs. Shurick to inquire into
the ownership OF the revolver.

$l.O8 Rate Needed
For Profit on Gas.
Official Testihes
Hearing on Finances of
Brooklyn Company
Is Opened

The Public Service Commission yes-
terday began a public hearing to in
quire into the financial condition of
the Brooklyn Borough Gas Company,
with view to opposing the announced
intention of the company to raise the
gas rate in the Coney Island district
from 95 cents to s1.25. The recent de-
cision of Charles E. Hughes, acting as
referee in the case, apparently gives
the company the privilege of fixing its
own rate. This opinion, however, will
be strenuously combated by the Public
Service Commission and the city au-
thorities, and the matter taken to the
courts if necessary.
Miss Mary E. Dillon, assistant gen
erai manager of the gas company, was
the first witness called. She said that
the extraordinary demand made last
winter because of the extreme cold had
made it impossible for the company to
maintain full efficiency without loss
She gave figures to show that any rate
less than 95 cents was not profitable
She discussed the increased cost of
that to cover operating expenses, bond
ed indebtedness and insurance the COM
pany would have to charge $1.08 a
thousand. 1t would not be possible to
make any profit on a lower rate, she
contended. She thought the rate ought
to be at least s1.10.
On cross-examination Miss Dillon
said that S125.OOO on deposit from con-
srmers was habitually used in the
business of the company This fund
was practically used as working capi-
tai, she added, yet it was a liability on
the books. The collections from the
gas consumers provided the rest of the
working capital, she said.
The witness said that in 1913, when
the 95-cent rate was ordered it seemed
fair, reasonable rate. Since 1916,
however, it had been impossible to earn
a fair return on the company's invest
ment, she contended. The S1.25 rate
had not yet been put into force, the
witness testified, because Mr. Hughes's 8
decision had not been recorded. The
hearing was adjourned until Tuesday
at 2:30 D. M

NEW YORK, September 29.--Tre-

day by Domicio Da CANA. Brazilian

declared while speaking at the unfurl-
ing of the Brazilian flag at the altar
Of liberty to aid the fourth Liberty

Many OF our men are lighting in the

hope Of the nation is that some day not
fair away, the flag of Brazil will be
unfurled beside those of the allies in
some action that will be decisive in
this fight for liberty.
"Of course will not speak about the
Liberty loan. You know your duty.
duty that must be in the heart of
every American citizen.
II was drafted to aid I'm the dedca-
ton OF the Altar OF Liberty. That is
one of the means of gathering the SEN
timent of America around that common
purpose that is to win the war. And
you are winning the war"
