Federal Court Holds $1
Gas Rate Confiscatory
Kings County Lighting Com.
pany Granted Injunction
Against Authorities

Judge Charles M. Hough. in an opin-
ion filed yesterday in the United States
Court, granted the Kings County Light
ing Company an injunction restraining
the authorities from enforcing the 80
cent and 81 gas rate.
Although the court did not fix any
rate, 1t gave the company the right TO
charge more than 81 per 1000 cubic
feet for its gas, with the understanding
that If 1t sought to collect an inequit-
able rate it would vacate its own in
junction. The company has asserted
that the present cost of manufacture
and distribution of gas is $1.20 per
thousand cubic feet.
After considering Special Master
Gordon Auchincloss's report and making
unimportant notifications, Judge
Hough accepted it and said in his
opinion, as pointed out in the hearing,
it cost the company more than the rats
allowed to make and distribute gas be-
cause of the great demand for coal and
the high price of gasoline. and that the
80cent and 81 gas rates were confis-
catOry.

Modishly Gowned Slayer
Pushes Her Way Gently

Pistol Fired S Times
Soldier Leads Scores in
Chase Along Tooth ST.;
Police Send Out an Alarm

Pushing her way gently through the
morning rush-hour throngs at 1O6tf
Street and Second Avenue yesterday
modishly gowned young woman
slipped quietly up behind Frank Ruco-
lano. an electrical engineer, pressed .
revolver to the base Of his brain and
fired. His body fell and rolled over
into the gutter.
While scores looked on, the young
woman gazed at her victim for mo-
ment and then walked over and fired
four more bullets into the body. Each
bullet lodged in vital spot.
Reaching into a gold mesh bag, the
slayer withdrew lace handkerchief
wiped the smoke and powder stains
from her fingers and in we'll modu-
lated voice said "That is DONE"
Crowd Joins in Chase
AS she turned away, completely ig-
noring a crowd, Jose Miller, a soldier
attached to Company C, 18th Infantry
Hoboken, made grab for her arm.
Politely disengaging his hand, she
turned sharply and started east along
106th Street. Scarcely had she gone a
block, however, when Miller started
after her. AS he approached, she sud-
denly stopped and slapped him vigor-
ously on the face. There was a
struggle.
Carmcllo Majestia, who lives at 1853
East 1O6th Street, attempted to as
sst the soldier, but the young woman
wrenched herself free and ran down
the street.
AS if awakening from a trance the
crowd joined in the chase. With scores
yelling at her heels, the woman turned
the corner into First Avenue and dis
appeared into the hallway of a tene-
ment house
No Trace of Fugitive
By this time half dozen policemen
had come up. The house and others
were searched from basement to roof,
but no trace of the fugitive was
found. An emergency call was sent in
and detectives, aided by reserves from
the East 1O4th Street station, respond
ed. A systematic search of the entire
block was made.
Two witnesses to the shooting, whose
names were withheld by the police,
said she was the common-law wife of
Rucolano and the mother of Mis- three
children. Police records disclosed
that Mrs. Rucolano, of 1926 East
105th Street, where Rucolano lived
with his mother, had frequently COM
planned to the police that her husband
was cruel to her and had even
abandoned her. She had been advised
to make complaint in the Domestic
Relations Court and had declined to
do So
Later general police alarm was
sent broadcast for Mrs. Rucolano's ar
rest.

According to papers filed in the Su-

Joseph C. Cooper, its former president,
for an accounting, the corporation was
very much of Cooper family affair.
1t is alleged that Robert L. Cooper,
nineteen-year-old son of the defend
ant and vice-president of the exchange,
received $4,000 year, and that Frank
Cooper, sixteen-year-old son, re-
ceived $1,000 a year.
The officers of the exchange were
chosen in 1916. 1t also is alleged that

Starrell, according to the police, had
several hundred dollars in his pockets
He was locked up at Peekskill for ex-
animation. He is employed on the
estate of Charles Starbuck, near Gro
ton.
AS to actual clews to the identity of
the burglar who stole the jewelry of
Mrs. Clarence G. Chapman and Mrs
Charles E. Danforth at the Sleepy
morning the police and private detec-
tives were about as much at loss last
night as they had been directly after
the theft.
Employees Are Questioned
They spent the day examining the
premises, interrogating the employees
and searching their rooms and belong
ings. The result tended merely to con-
firm them in their original opinion that
the burglary was an outside job. Moth
ing suspicious was found among the
possessions of any of the employees
and their answers threw no light on
the burglary beyond showing, as the
detectives quite naturally Suspected,
that some of the night shift were not
on the alert all night
A thorough examination Of the mas
sive pillars supporting the front porch
roof disclosed shoe nail scratches and
grass stains and certain digital
smudges devoid of linear pattern.
which convinced the detectives that
the porch-climber wore gloves. Fur
ther evidence that he had gained en-
trance to the rooms of the Chapmans
and the Danforths from outside the
al h y
bits of grass and gravel on the floor of
the rooms which evidently had stuck
to the burglars shoes.
William j. Burns, whose detectives
are working on the case, is of the opin-
ion that there we're two burglars,
though he would not say what the basis
of his reasoning was. They were men
with some knowledge Of the interior ar
rangement of the clubhouse, he said,
and men who were so nervous or in
such a hurry that they attempted to
make no thorough search, but merely
picked up what came to hand.
Theater Watched for Thief
Their haste or their natural mean
ness, Mr.. Burns said, impelled the
burglars to steal articles which could
be of no conceivable value to them,
such as q list of private telephone
numbers, duplicate receipt for an
English draft, the key to Mr.. Dan
forth's Office and six tickets for a
matinee at the Morosco Theater.
Mr.. Burns said that some detectives
enjoyed the show there yesterday
meantime keeping a fruitless watch on
the six seats which Mr.. and Mrs. Chap
man and some friends had expected to
occupy, but which remained empty
throughout the performance.
Mr.. Danforth said the burglars had
stolen from him an overcoat the like
of which has not been made since the
war.
II wish they would wear that over
coat, since they took it, he said "My
tailor tells me that nothing of the
same material has been made since the
war. 1t is an English coat and a fine
one. They also took four suits of
mine, leaving me only an old suit and
a dress suit and they picked out all

2 ounces red pepper. Then add 2

not exceed 120 degrees. The meat
should be several feet from the
fire and smoked until the desired

smoke house, the time may be two

cooler room, the smoking process
may be carried on for several
weeks. After smoking the meat
should be put in "a dalk place
