POLISH-FINNISH
PACT INDICATED
Arrival Of Minister At
Riga Taken To Prove
Secret Treaty

RIGA, Oct. IA Thursday (By
Associated Press) Political discus
sion has been excited throughout the
Baltic states by the arrival here Of
Rudolph Holski, head of the Polish
peace mission, which reached pre-
iiminary peace agreement with Rus
sia last week. His arrival is looked
on as in confirmation of reports that
Finland and Poland had made a Sc
cret agreement that neither would
complete separate peace with the
Bolsheviki until the two countries
should reach perfect understand
ing and lay the foundation for a Bal
tic union, in which the two countries
would be the backbone.
Letvia, Esthonia and Lithuanla
being smaller than Finland and Po-
land, have regarded them with sus-
picion and Poland's aggressive ac-
ton against Luthnia has added to
this distrust.

The Russians are not over-anxious to
become the central authoritative tri-
bunal of the Third Communist In

uuish that privilege to some other
country, declared M. Zinovieff, an
emisarry of the Soviet government
to the Indenendent Socialists con-

here toni~ht. He suggested France
as that country.
M. Zinovieff preceded his statement
by announcing that the central COM
mittee of the Third Internationale
had authorized him to state that it
was prepared to enter into negotia-
tion with German comrades" The
announcement created a sensation
and brought the warning factions in
the convention to their feet. A pc

ProLeaguers Cali Harding Other Foes
City Winner In Ruling Of
Railroad Commission On
Emergency Power Service

1920, but expected to supply its own
power.
The company did not however
disconnect its service, having been
under date of Jan. %, 1920, advis-
ed by the City Engineer as follows
'The city is desirous of retain
ing connected service between your
power plant and the water work
pumping plant until such time
necessary changes in the equipment
of the water plant can be made to
operate by steam or otherwise.
"We propose to continue to OPP
crate our plant as at present, but
would like to be in position to Sc
cure electric power from you in the
interim should the occasion arise,
as of a few days ago"
A standby service was thus insti-
tuted and has continued.
The applicant and the City have
been unable to agree upon charge
therefor and as a result the appli-
cation under consideration.
This Commission has heretofore
prescribed a schedule of power rates
for applicant. No schedule, however,
for standby or breakdown serv-
ice has been applied for or prescrib-
ed. In our opinion it is not with
in our power to prescribe retro-ac-
tive rates, at least without agree
ment of parties in the matter.
1t is within our power to prescribe
rates for the future.
The service rendered by appli-
cant is and has been valuable and
very essential to the safety and well
fare of the city and its inhabitants.
The Company has had to keep at
the demand of the City, as the rec
ord shows, valuable and somewhat
extensive machinery and equipment.
Considering all the circumstances
attending, it is
Ordered: That effective on and
after October II, 1920, until further
order of this Commission, Americus
Lighting company be and is hereby
authorized to charge the City of Am
ericus for the standby" or "break-
down" service described in the pc
tition, the maximum sum of one dol
lar and eleven cents ($1.11) per
month per XIV demand connected
plus energy charges for any current
delivered upon call as follows:
For the first 5000 XVIII per month
So % per XVIII. For the next 5000
XVIII per month $500. For the
next 10000 XVIII per month SLIT
per XVIII. For the next 10000 K
VIII per month $1.55 per XVIII.
Discount: Bills based upon the
foregoing rates are subject to dis
count of ten (10) per cent of total
thereof, when paid on or before the
the 10th day of the month.

SAYS MOTLEY ARRAY

COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 15.-(By
Associated Press. Vigorous ar.
raignment of the forces he declared
were in the opposition ranks was
made here last night by Gov. Cox,
speaking at the capital in his home
state campaign.
That Senator Harding, his Repub-
lican opponent, has behind him "the
most motley array of questionable
groups and influences that ever were
behind a candidate-an array that
no survey brings the crimson blush
of humiliation to an American" was
asserted by the Democratic rresi-
Dental candidate.
Characterizing h various
groups names as "parties," Governor
Cox asserted that among Senator
Harding's supporters were the fol

"The reactionary party"
"The pro-German party whose
members opposed our successful
prosecution of the war"

portant coal industry will be para
lived. This decision was reached

GAS RATE RAISE
ALLOWED MACON
ONLY TEMPORARY
Commission Declines To
Grant Full Increase
Asked

MACON, Oct. 15.-In passing
down an order granting an increase
in the schedule of rates by the Ma
con Gas company, the state railroad
commission so worded the order as
to make it plain that charges which
it is now allowing for public service,
based upon the existing costs and
conditions, are in reality only tenn
porary authorizations, and are to be
revised by the commission when
conditions and costs of materials
have changed.
Manager L. A. Magraw, Of the
Macon Gas company has called at
tention to the fact that the increase
granted is forty cents a thousand
feet instead of fifty cents, as pre-
viously reported. The former rate
was $1.45, and the new rate is S1.85,
with ten per cent off if bills are paid
before the tenth of each month,
whic hmakes an increase of 40 cents
a thousand feet.
The Macon company asked for an
increase 70 1926 per 1000 feet

OF Melville Comedians

After hearing one of the most en-
tertaining programs yet given, the
members of the Kiwanis club. at its
regular luncheon today, accepted
with thanks an invitation to be the
guests with their wives and sweet
hearts of Victor Canares, represent
ing Melville's Comedians, at their

The contentious of the city of
Americus, as put forward at the re-
cent hearing before the Georgia
Railroad commission in Atlanta in
the controversy between the city
and the Americas Lighting company
on the rate to be charged for stand
by electric service at the city pump
ing plant, are upheld in a decision
just handed down by the commission,
copies of which have been received
here The commission rules that it
has no authority to fix retroactive
rates, that is, to declare how much
should be charged for service al
ready rendered and which is in dis
pute, but states that its authority is
limited to fixing rates for future SER
vice. 1t then proceeds to fix a rate
of Sill per XVIII demand service
per month. This is reduction from
a rate of $1.50 asked by the Light
ing company, in addition to which
certain other charges were contended
for. Inasmuch as the power de-
mand is 200 XVIII per month, the
city will be required to pay 1888 per
month for connection without the
use of power against $3.50 asked by
the comnany. The ruling sets out
scale of charges for current con-
summed in case the service is actual
ly used.
1nasmuch as the ruling does not
settle the controversy between the
city and company regarding pay for
several months of standby service
already had. none of which has been
paid for, it is said by representatives
of the city now to be up to the Light
ing company to either come to a vol
untary agreement on price with rep
resentatives of the city or resort to
the courts to award the amount they
think they are entitled to.
The Ruling.

In Re: Application of Americus

M Through Typographical error in

stated that the increase granted the
company in gas rates in April was
from $1.00 per 1000 feet to $1.7O

amounting to 10 cents per 1000
