OPINIONS GIVEN
ON CURRENT SALE
BY LIGHT PLANT

w. N. JOHNSON. president Of the
johnson Automobile Sheet Metal
Works-Your letter of Feb. IL, regard
ing conditions of our local hight and
power plant received, and in answer
to the first paragraph will say that
we think that il the plant is not de-
irving sufficient revenue from power
and light to set aside at least o 10 per
cent depreciation fund and then rate
should be increased or operation ex-
penses decreased ! should consider
that for a plant of this kind with the
machinery and buildings, 10 per cent
would be fair depreciation charge I
think 1t is very essential that new
units be installed for the protection
of customers. am not at all in favor
of entering into any contract with. any
independent company.
s. j.. BEEBE. general manager
Beebe Glove company-We wish to
acknowledge your letter Of the 18th,
and as we are not familiar with con.
dftions have no suggestions to make
other than that we do not think that
the light plant should supply current
to anybody but our own citizens. How
ever II it Il a proven fact that addf
tionaf machinery should be purchased
we would go on record to say that It
b the proper thing to do and do Inn
mediately.
H. BRUBAKER OF the Richmond
Furniture Manufacturing company
believe the city should increase rates
and set aside . proper depreciation
fund. Ten per cent b a fair amount
for depreciation. Contracts for sup
pHing current to outside consumers
should not be taken on.

TXIHEN Grant left the White House,
w freed from public care for the
first time In Is years. his uppermost
wish was to visit his daughter, Mrs.
Nellie Sart0ris, in England. where he
was surprised by the public welcome
that greeted his arrival. He was "puz-
zled to find himself parsonage" said
james Russell Lowell. But his politi-
cal friends we're quick to see In his
triumphs abroad chance to restore
their own prestige at home, and they
urged him on until he had completed
tour Of the world. which remains,
perhaps. uneQualed in brilliance. AS
he went his way from London to
Tokyo, emperors and kings honored
him.
Coming home after a three years
absence, he weakly yielded to the
politicians who we're using his name
In a desperate adventure to regain
power for the "Stalwart" faction Of
the Republican party. But the unwrit-
ten law against third term was vim
dicated in his defeat in the Republican
convention Of 1880.
Failing the White House. he was
tempted by a 'young Napoleon Of

York and to become a partner in

When he became president 1t was
Grants misfortune to know no one ex'
cept his associates in the war. The
self-respecting among them kept away
from him. But the self-seekers and

shadow on his family circle itself.

Der of the cabinet was impeached for
squalid transactions. but by accepting
his resignation Grant let him dodge
the conviction.
A liberal section of distinguished
Republicans revolted against Grants
election to a second term, but they
were mostly leaders without follow
ers. The popular revolt did not come
until the panic Of 1873 had plunged
the country Into six years OF hard
times, and a tidal wave In the elec-
ton Of 1874 swept the Democrats
into control Of the house.

Baptists Urge Change in
Treaty.Making Councils
Convention President Requests
That Professionalism Have
Hearing on Issues

BUFFALO,, June 23.-The part the
Baptist Church must take in recon
struction, both in the Old and New
Worlds, was the predominant subject
at the opening here to-day of the
thirteenth annual session of the North
ern Baptist Convention.
President Delos c. Shull, of Sioux
City, in his annual address, recon-
mended adequate representation Of
Prote stantism at treaty making coun-
ellis.
"All rights to enter nations are given
by treaties" said President Shull.
Every great religious body of the
world except the Protestant, has been
represented at treaty making councils
for hundreds Of years. My recon
mendation is that if we do not CON
tinue with the intcr-c church works
movement, that we should at this con-
ventlon arrange to ask all Evangelical
Protestant churches to sent rcpresen-
tatlves to meeting to organize a cor
porate body or council, which shall see
to it that Professionalism shall have
a hearing on every treaty that affects
the religious life of any creature"

Gem and Toilet Boxes
OF 1850 B. C.. on View

Two unusual restorations have been
placed on view at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art-a jewel box and a
toilet box belonging to the period Of
about 1850 B. c.
The fragments of these boxes were
found in the tomb of an Egyptian
princess along with jewelry and toilet
vases which are supposed to have been
in them originally.
Other contributions to this depart
ment on exhibition consist of material
recently received from Egypt in the
first shipment to arrive since the war.
They represent part of the results of
the excavations of the museum s
Egyptian expedition during the years
1915-19.
There also was placed on exhibition
an altar piece from the Church of San

Public utilities companies in this
city breathed easier yesterday on re-
ceipt of information that the govern
ment would take action to supply them
with coal. Thus the danger of stop

and lighting and heating service is re-
moved.
Deputy Commissioner Morgan T
Donnelly and Secretary James B.
Walker, of the Public Service Com
mission, who went to Washington to
ask aid, telephoned Commissioner AL
fred II. Barrett that the Interstate
Commerce Commission had assured
them that the public service corpora
tions of New York would be supplied
commission will exercise the authority
to route cars and control shipments
conferred on it by the new transpor-
tation act, in way designed to bcne-
fit New York.
The reassuring information came
when officials of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company announced that they
had but two days supply of coal on
hand. Interborough officials said their
supply would last only about ten days
Recent orders of the Interstate
commerce commission allOcatlng to
New England industries large per-
centage of the coal output of the coun-
try threatened serious interference
with export commerce, shipping men
here said. According to representa
tivcs of large lines, the bunker situa-
ton already is serious, and any fur
ther curtailment will restrict move
nent of steamers.
At meeting yesterday between J.
". Howe Commissioner Of the Tide
water Coal Exchange Inc, and repre-
scntatives Of rail lines it was deter
mined that Mr.. Howe, as agent for the
Interstate Commerce Commission
should issue permits for all shipments
from the mines to the tidewater points
of New York, Philadelphia and Baltl-
more. Permits also must be obtained
from Mr.. Howe OF his deputies to put
coal aboard steamers.
Under the present emergency ruling
coal for export is practically prohi ID
tied, and it has been decided that
bunker coal for all ships foreign bound
IS to be considered in the same light
as export coal. The ruling will apply
to American as we'll as foreign flag
ships. The restrictions give right of
way to movement Of coal by water to
New England points, and what is now

was so improved this morning that her

The former empress suffered Sc
