RIDE 'SALESMANSHIP'

Buffee Says Public Must Be

- take rides or leave them has passed.
In the opinion OF L. G. Buffee OF Kan

dress on that theme to-day at the clos
ing session Of the convention of the
American Railway Association here.
He said competition has made necessary

Is up to the railway executives TO mike
the public buy rides.

ALLOWS MORE THAN
81 FOR GAS IN KINGS
Masters Report Upholds Com
pany's Plea That soc. and ST
Rates Are Confiscatory.
APPROVAL BY U. s. COURT
Injunction Is Granted Re-
straining Authorities From
Enforcing Old Prices

Judge John NJ. Hough in the United
States District Court yesterday con-
firmed the essential features of a re-
port by Gordon Auchincloss. special
master in. the litigation instituted by
the Kings County Lighting Company, to
have the State rate laws declared con-
fiscatory and Unconstitutional. BY the
report the company received the power
to charge more than 81 for a thousand
cubic feet of gas.
Judge Hough granted an injunction
restraining the authorities from enforc-
ing the SO cent law or the 81 law. The
court did not fix rate. but gave to
the company power to charge more than
so cents. Room was left in the judg-
ment for any modification that might
be necessary or that might be prompted
by changed conditions. Either the
Kings County Lighting Company or the
Public Service Commission may make
an application for revision upward or
downward of the rate yet to be fixed.
Under the order issued last June by
the Federal Court the company has
been charging 95 cents thousand cubic
feet and part of this sum has been re-
tanned in custody of the court for re-
endorsement in the event OF a decision
in favor of lower rate.
Judge Hough pointed out that hear
ings had shown that 1t costs the COM
pany more than the statutory rate to
make and distribute gas.
The contention OF the Public Service
Commission that the company could
resort to coking could not be consd-
cred. he said, because the plant was not
equipped for making gas by that
method.

TWO HATCH BOYS
GO TO STEPMOTHER
Court SO Decides After Their
Mother Refuses to Agree to
Joint Custody.

Both the mother and the stepnother
of Charles Jordan Hatch, 1o. and Milton
Ford Hatch, 10. sons of the late Charles
! W. Hatch. an automobile manufacturer
OF St. Adams, Queens, appeared yes
! terday before Justice Callaghan In the
Supreme Court. Brooklyn, to plead for
| the custody OF the boys. who have
/ been living with their stepmother. Mrs.
/ Hazel Hatch since the death OF their
/ father in August Al first Justice
Callaghan decided 10 give the boys to
! the two women Jointly. but when the
mother. Mrs Eula Jordan Hatch OF
Cleveland refused to accept the court 5
decree. Justice Hatch told her she was
not a proper person to care for them
and awarded them to the stepmother.
! Mrs Eula Jordan Hatch was divorced
| by the father OF the boys In Ohio. He
| married again five months later, This
was two years ago. At the time Of the
| divorce according to attorneys for Mrs.
T.iia Jordan Hatch, the CUSTODY OF the
boys was awarded to the mother. but
they were living with the father wnen
he died. After that Mrs. Hazel Hatch
, the second wife. continued to care for
them. and both boys said yesterday
that they wanted to remain with her
! she reluSeu 10 give them uP NhSu thSH
| mother demanded them. and the matter
! was taken to court.
Justice Callaghan conferred with both
women separately and then announced
his decision The second Mrs. Hatch,
who is wealthy. was to send the boys TO
| the Peekski,l Military Academy. where
she and their mother were to see them
| on alternate visiting days. Dsring the
| Christmas and Easter holidays the boys
were TO divide their time between their
mother and Their stepmothcr. During
the summer Justice Callaghan ruled. the
/ boys were TO be sent to q camp and both
| women were 10 have equal visiting privf-
Z, lege. The mother was at first inclined
! TO accept the decision of the court. but
after comforting with her lawyer he told
/ Justice Callaghan that the ruling was
not satisfactory and would not be ac-
| ccpted.
| Mrs. Eula Jordan Hatchs attorney
said he would appeal the decision at
once to higher court
1T Is absurd" he said. ito think that
a mother can be deprived OF her chill
dren Just because she has not plenty OF
money"
Earlier In the day the second Mrs
Hatch admitted that Hatch had asked
her to marry him before he had sued
his first wife for divorce, the divorce
being asked for on the ground or
glect of home.
