 Montgomery, September 27. Special. )-Governor Kilby's message warning the legisla- ture that receipts of the state treasury cannot bear the pro- posed appropriations now pending in bills before the leg islature and the defeat by the house of Representative Ben- ner's amendment to the general transportation act which would have retained the prefereni f rates on raw material to ( r~ tain industries throughout ha state featured the ninth da, cf the special session of the le s- lature Monday.
 Governor I<iIby delivered to asc
 two houses messngc in which he
 declared that he would be for ,a
 to withhold his approval fl eus
 many appropriation bills, nIth6Ffssn
 some may he for worthy purpGs~S,
 because the condition of the trs is-
 ury will not permit their payment
 and that many appropriations nJ.

 provnI of the governor remain a,r-
 paid.
 In issuing the warning. Governor Kllby took eoGnizance of appropriation bilts totaling, according to estimates, almost two million dollars. He said the state is now out of debt and does not owe any floating obligations, but that appro- priations made by the legislature last year will be about one million dollars greater during the fiscal year beginning October and increases in receipts will no more than cover these increases.
 We will be fortunate if the condition of the treasury warrants release" said the message referring to contingent ap- propriations already made. These con- tingent funds will be available only as the result of the most economical aud efficient conduct of every department of the government. The passage and ap- proval of additional appropriation bills would inevitably bring enbarrassmenttt to our financial condition. which has re- gently become quite satisfactory

Fitzgerald, stated that France was one of the most loyal friends of the American Legion. Cheering started and cries for Francis E.

England, BeA- gium and the Rhine.
 Just before adjournment was taken, the national commander asked that any civil war veterans who were members of the legion come forward. M. w. Woods of Idaho was given a seat on the stage. He was wounded twice during the civil war. The other civil war vet cram attending the convention was Dr.. Winfield Thompson of California, who was at committee meeting.

8O-Cent Gas Rate
Declared Invalid
By Gilbert Report
Final Findings of Special
Master, Submitted to Fed
eral Judge Mayer, Hold
the Charge Confiscatory

New York's 80-cent gas rate /. de-
clared to be confscatory and uncon-
stltutional in the final report filed yes
terday with Federal Judge julius M.
Mayer. by A. S. Gilbert, special master,
appointed to take testimony in the suit
OF the Consolidated Gas Company of
New York against the Public Service
Commission for the 1st District. The
report. largely cnfirmatory of one Mr..
Gilbert filed several weeks ago, was
made after he reviewed the testimony
submitted by both parties to the stit,
which covers 10000 pages dealing with
costs OF production ano distribution Of
gas since the act of 1906 was passed.
Mr.. Gilbert holds that "the total cost
OF the gas delivered by the Consoli-
dated Gas Company is at least s2.13
cents thousand cubic feet, from which
should be deducted sos cents for mis-
cellaneous revenue, making the net cost
OF gas delivered to the consumer 1918
cents thousand cubic feet.
The testimony, according to the spe
claI master. shows that "the average
se.llng price Of gas. including that sold
to the City of New York at Is cents a
thousand cubic feet, to be 1921 cents
thousand cubic feet, showing net
profit to the company, as of September.
1919, of not more than 473 cents a
thousand cubic feet of gas sold"
Ihe special master contrasts this
earning for 1000 cubic feet with a a
working capital of s3,9O0,OOO based on
l9,000,O00,000 feet of sales, bringing the
invested capital Of the company up to
$74,S54,551, upon which, he says. the
company is entitled "to fair return"
Taking into consideration all of the
factors which the courts have indicated
as entering into the determination of
upon capital employed in supplying gas
to the public" says his report, Il am
Of the opinion that this Complainant
the Consolidated Gas Company of
New York; is entitled to receive a re-

Man i'm 'sFOrum Follies''
First Time i'm History
Clubwomen ON Tuesday Night
Will Jump Rope and Enjoy
LOllypops i'm Annual Skit

Coming, the Forum Follies. More
foolish than ever. See Miss Boswell as
Carmen, and Mrs. John Frances Yawger
as Little Eva Jane. Special attraction
"a Mani"
This announcement sent a thrill
through the women's club world yes
terday. The Forum Follies are famous
in clubdom as hilarious occasion on
which the most stately club presidents
jump rope and suck lollypops, and all
the jokes of the season are served up
in a skit prepared by the august presi-
dent of the Forum, Miss Helen Varick
Boswell. But the Follies never included
a man before. The hero who has
broken through this tradition is Franz
Armbruster, who "got away with it" by
promising to sing collection of songs
by American women composers.
Miss Boswell wrote both skits for
this years program. In the first.
"Great Moments from Grand Operas"
the herones of the operas come to life
and tell what they really think about
love and clothes and politics. In the
second skit, "Training the Children"
the club grandmas decide to adopt an
orphan and try to teach it old-fashioned
accomplishments with disastrous re-
suits.
The performance will take place on
Tuesday morning at the Rivoli. The
proceeds will be devoted to the clubs
philanthropic fund.
