Commission Moves to
Avert Gas Raise Here

Action was taken by the Public
Service Commission yesterday to pre-
vent what it termed an attempt by the
New York gas companies to increase
at once throughout the city the pres
ent S0-cent rate on gas to 81 or SIPS.
Judge William l.. Ransom, counsel
for the commission, announced that he
had obtained from the Appellate Di-
vision of the Supreme Court at Sara
toga perm isson to intervene in a suit
brought by the Municipal Gas Com
rany, of Albany. In this suit the AL
bany company, armed with tempo
rary injunction, seeks to restrain the
state and city authorities from enforc-
ing the 81 gas rate, which prevails in
Albany.
Companies here, Judge Ransom stat
ed, are awaiting a decision in this
case upon which to base future action.

SURGICAL DRESSINGS For sew.
eral weeks we have been hearing
there was to be a change in the max
ing of surgical dressings. The new
instructions arrived last Saturday
and are already being taught under
the direction of our efficient Gauze
Room Supervisor, Mrs Jenkins.
Under these new instructions the
muslin bandages which our Eastern
Star Unit have been making are to
be discontinued for the present We
splendid enthusiasm and cooperation
will be directed to some other part
of our work. The Red Cross must
meet the expected "spring drive" OF
the Germans just as squarely as the
Allies themselves. The output OF
our work-rooms will be the munitions
with which the organization will wage
its Great defensive.
From this on until the termination
of the war the Red Cross must meet
greater demands than ever before.
Its activities must not lessen for a
moment: rather it must speed up as
never before.<
Don't stop knitting.
Don't stop sewing.
Don't stop making dressings.

Died-At his residence 2449 CATH
ness street, Denver, Friday, March
15, 1918, James H. Hampton, at the
age of 55 years.
Mr.. Hampton, for many years a
residence of this county, was born
in Cornwall, England, and came to
this state and county while yet this
great commonwealth was in its in
fancy, with the bloom of vigor and
health manteling his youthful brow.
He came as thousands of others had
done before, to carve from the bow
els of the rugged cliffs a competence
that would enable him and his fam
lily comfort while travelling adown
the shady side of life, and in this
he was quite successful. He was en-
dowed with that characteristic that
enables one to hold a lasting friend
ship when once formed, and there
fore his friends became legion. About
three years ago he removed to Den
yer where he has since resided. Be-
side his many friends he leaves to
mourn his death is a widow, one son,
Richard Hampton of Nevada, and
one daughter, Mrs. Paul Blight, of
