CONSTANT DISMISSED
II Matter e C:.;.e15 ". the Eeisra7e
Power c..

-. decision ma been rendered d!
the Public Utilities Commission dis
missing the complain. Of Z. a. Bean
and others versus the Belsra az
Power Co Th4 complaints alleged
that the rates Of the respondent com
pary both for water and electricity
were unreasonable. Cnjus, and dis
crI!aira.ory. that tie electric rates
collected wers in excess OF those
named in the schedule d rates flied
with the commission. that the cleo
tric service was intermittent and in
adequate and that the respondent
COMPANY arbitrarily refused 10 ex-
tend its service The decision says
in part:
The allegation against the water
rates are abandoned. The only wit
nesses who testified relative 70 the
! quality OF the electric service said
| that it was good. The testimony in
regard to extension Of service was
! incomplete and unsatisfactory, and
this alteration was rot seriously
pressed in the final stages Of the
hearing. The Undisputed testimony
shows that the plant now carries a
lad to its full capacity during the
busy season, and nothing in the case
would justify an order for substan-
tial additional capital investment.
This leaves only the charges that
the electric rates are unreasonable
and discriminatory and that the
schedule rates arc not observed II
making and collecting charges for
the service.
"Manifestly. the present rates do
not produce an excessive return. We
have examined the same evidence to
learn whether the gross revenue
chargeable under those rates to eth
er class of consumers is excessive.
We ind that 3744.s0 Of the above
amount is payable by yearly custom
ers. and Sl.s2s.s0 by summer Gus
toners. The lamp count shows the
amount to be s2.7s per lamp per
year. average. TO yearly customers.
and $1.02 to summer customers
These averages are so much below
the respective classes that no modifi-
cation in the manner of allocatinS
the cost would be likely to show that
either class was paying its full part
of the entire maximum reasonable
cost of the service.
NO real complaint was made Of
the present method Of grading the
charges according to the number of
lamps used. Counsel for the COM
plainants presented slightly modi-
fed plan in his brief, and il has the
advantage of greater simplicity. Bit
no sufficient reason is shown for re-
constructing the present schedule if
it does not result in excessive or I'M
reasonably discriminatory charges.
We are not entirely satisfied with
the reasons given by the respondent
for charging five cents per lamp
above the next lower step for all
lamps above 100: but the Belgrade
Hotel Company is the only customer
seriously effected by il. but this GUS
toner is not complaining. The

CHINESE ENDS LIFE
IN HIS LONELY ROOM
Many "Pidgins" Waited Hin,
Before End.

The slant eyed. sandal shod Mongo-
lians OF Chinatown sadly wagged their
heads in the tumbledown, rickety Joss
houses Of Pel1 and Doyers streets yes
terday, when another Of their folk went
to the Seven Judges.
A policeman from the Elizabeth street
station. smashing in a stout door on the
second floor Of t5 Mott street, found
Hun Max. 80. stretched dead on the floor.
In some mysterious way he had stran-
gled himself to death. For three days
no lay dead In his room. The strange
feature of the death OF Hun Max Is that
many "pidglns'' visited him nightly UP
to three days ago. and none since
knocked at his door.
"Sure, it's nothing for a Chinaman ia
be found dead down here" said Lieut.
Horrigan OF the Elizabeth street station
around the corner from Mott |strest
"They die by the dozens. Only the
other day one kicked of Tho reason Ia
