ity to Direct Repayment
of Charges Over 80 Cents

Judge Tierney, in the Supreme Court
yesterday, denied the application of
Corporation Counsel O'Brien for an
order directing the Kings County
Lighting Company to make immediate
distribution among it's customers from
the 100000 trust fund set aside to
assure a rebate to gas users in case
the 80 cent rate was sustained by the
courts. The Kings County company
has been charging 95 cents thousand
cubic feet and has been depositing
the extra Is cents with the Empire
Trust Company.
also on the application of the Corpora
ton Counsel, issued an order direct
ing the Kings County Lighting Com
pany to file with the court list of
customers who have paid the excess
rate and the amount due. The Supreme
Court and the Appellate Division have
upheld the 80-cent rate, denying the
application of the gas company for
permission to charge 50 cents. The
higher court also directed the refund.
In his decision, Justice Tierney,
said: "The Corporation Counsel asks
me to direct that the lighting COM
pany pay back in cash to the con-
sumers the amounts paid by them in
excess of the charge fixed by statute

to make such direction. If the CON
sumers are entitled to be refunded
these amounts, they have their own
right to recover the same. My author
ity is limited to making such further
order as to the security deposited
under the order CT the court as may
be proper"

Justice Pendleton, the gas company

Justice Tierney points out that in view
Of the fact that the fund is now in
the form of securities, it would be

Irish vote was also indicated when Sec
retary Daniels appeared before the
Senate sub committee investigating
the Navy's part in the war. He pro-
duced every scrap of evidence showing
that the President was not satisfied
with what the British were doing. In
particular, he made public the Pres-
dents address to the fleet and the
Presidents cablcgram to Admiral Sims
The President took the British to task
very severely in each instance
There is a general feeling here that
this information was given to the pub
lie as an answer to the charges the
President is pro-British because Of his
insistence the league.
Leaders of the Irish movement in
this country have been pressing the
House Foreign Affairs Committee for
some time to act on the Irish resolu-
tions, three of which are before the
committee. The one they want adopted
was presented by Repre- sentative
Mason, of Illinois. The text of the
resolution follows:
"Resolved, that the people Of Ireland
bJ ballot in orderly election, having
established an independent republic of
President the propriety of acting upon
the principle of national self -determi-
nation and according official recogni-
tion to that republic and to it's duly
elected government.
"We assure the President that we
but await his act to make the neces-
sary appropriation for the diplomatic
and consular service to the Republic" :"
Republican leaders had no objec-
tlon to passing resolutions of sympa-
thy for Ireland, but they drew the line
at asking the President to recognize
the new republic. They were willing
long as they could make Republican
votes without causing international
friction.
Pressure became so strong that a
meeting of the committee to consider
the resolution was called Chairman
Porter and other Republicans decided
to get Secretary Colby before the
committee. 1t is understood they ex-
pected him to ask that the resolution
be srhothered because of the possibil-
lty of melting trouble with Great
Britain. But Secretary Colby declined
to put himself on record publicly, ex-
own best judgment.
Chairman Porter declined at first at
to-day's meeting to read the letter, but
when several Democratic members in
sisted he read it. With the Colby let
ter and private assurances from him
that the Administration is willing for
the resolution to be adopted the Dem
ocrats have decided to force the issue.
They are going to- try to show the
Irish voters that the Administration
and not the Republican party, is the
friend of the Irish. An effort to force
a vote on the Mason resolution was
blocked to-day by adjournment until

ALBANY, May 21.-There were 914
cases of intoxcation before magls-
tratcs in New York City during the
first three months of this year. accord
ing to statistical statement issued
to-day by the New York State Proba
tion Commission. For the correspond
ing period last year the total was
1914.
The statement declares "prohibition
IS reducing crime in this state,'' and
offers statistics compiled by Charles
L.. Chute, secretary of the commission,
to support this declaration.
The statement continues: "Authen-
tic figures from seventeen of the larger
city and county courts in this state
Tor the first three months of this wear,
during which constitutional prohib;
tion has been in effect, showed that
DO, lab offenders of all ages were ar
raigned in these courts. For the same
period last year $685. offenders were
brought before the same courts, show
ing decrease Of 1892, or "a per
cent"
According to the statement, the
greatest decrease has been in cases of
public intoxication, but, it adds, "there
has been a decrease in other offenses
as we'll"
"In the Buffalo City Court the aver
age number of offenders tried monthly
has for many years exceeded two
thousand. During the first three
months of 1919 1854 criminals were
tried. This year only 2,417 offenders
were brought before the court in three
months. The number of intoxication
cases for this period was only 583, as
compared with 1904 the same period
last year.
"In Utica arraignments decreased
for the three months period from 722
last year to 1858 this year. Only forty
eight cases of intoxication were
brought before the court for the first
three months this year, as compared
with 226 last year
=" In the city of Elmira, which had
prohibition through local option vote
during 1919, arrests for intoxication
mum bered 394, as compared with / ,O98
during 1918, when the city was wet
"The commission finds that, whereas
the decrease in court arraignments in
the courts surveyed was "a per cent,
the decrease in the number placed on
probation was only 26 per cent. This
indicates that the probation system is
being used in q larger percentage of
cases"
