FAIL TO FIND TWO
MEXICAN ASSA|LANTS

A countrywide search for two Next
cans who Saturday night inflicted a
minor gunshot wound on Margarita
Munos after holding up the parents on
a lonely stretch of road eight miles
ncrth of Tempe, was without result
yesterday.
Deputy Sheriffs Jim Troutman and
al Dewitt. visited more than half
dozen camps on the southside yester-
day in an effort to apprehend the as
sailants. Inability of any member of
the Munos family to furnish them with
a good description of the two men,
however, handicapped the officers.
The girl is suffering from a flesh
wound on the ankle, caused when one

ADJUSTMENTS
WHY GROW OLD?" IS
RIOT Of LAUGHS At
THE ELKS THEkTER

1t has been a long time since an
audience at the Elks theater laughed
as hard as it did last night when the
Brandon Stock company presented the
comedy, "Why Grow Old" with must
cal interpretations by members of the
company and the chorus. 1t can be
described only as a riot, for the fun
began at the first curtain and did not
let up until the very last minute.
An interesting feature of the new
bill last night was the appearance OF
Miss Marie Rich, the new leading
woman. Miss Rich made a splendid
first impression, having a good singing
voice, pleasing personality and did her
share in keeping the fun going. She
is a distinct addition to the company.
why Grow Old' is a ridiculous
mix-up caused by a wonderful elixir of
youth which the professor" in the
person of Ed Redmond, is supposed to
have discovered. What the professor
and his young friend, a clerk, who is
George Banta, thinks the elixir does is
sufficient to furnish fast and furious
fun which does not lessen, but in
creases as the play progresses. AS the
professor, Ed Redmond, as usual, is a
world of fun.

tory. besides singing one song, Just

GAS PETITION TO
HANG FIRE WHILE
AGREEMENT WORKS

The petition filed by the city OF
Memphis against the Memphis Gas
and Electric company before the
state utilities commission at Nash
vile some time ago will remain in
statu quo pending the outcome of the
new agreement made Saturday be-
tween the city and the company.
The petition filed by Walter p.
Armstrong, city attorney, sought to
have the state commission enter an
order compelling the gas and cleo
trio company to furnish full and
proper service to the consumers Of
gas and electricity. The gas COM
pany filed an answer to this petition
and had not an agreement been
reached, the matter would have been
set for hearing before the commits
sion.
Discussing the matter Tuesday,
Mr.. Armstrong said that the petit
ton would not be withdrawn nor
would it be dismissed but would re-
main open and in the event of a
cessation or the working agreement
between the city and the gas COM
pany, in accordance with the order
entered by the utilities commission
Saturday, the petition could then be
taken up.
The increased rates granted to the
gas company by the state commits
sion in agreement with the city will
become effective Oct. 20, and will
continue in force and effect so long
as the operation of the gas and cleo
trio plants, expenditure of moneys
and rendition of service meets with
the approval of F. G. Proutt, local
representative Of the state commits
sion.
1t is pointed out, however that
even with the increased rates Mem
phis is furnished with gas and cleo
tricity at cheaper rate than many
other cities. Allentown Pa, for in
stance pays IL cents per X. w. H.,
while the increased rate at Mem
phis provides for cents for the
smallest user.
Statistics gathered from other cities
develop the fact that both gas and
electricity in Memphis are below the
rates charged elsewhere.
