ALBANY, Sept. 24.-The Legislature
to-day passed the Gibbs bill giving the
Public Service Commission power to

bill was passed without debate in both
houses and is assured approval by Gov

The measure contains the features
Of the Gibbs bill in the original form,
excepting that it does not make the

respect to the issue on rate increases
which became effective since last De-

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 24.-The poit-
lcal situation in Michoacar and Aguas-
c"ilentcs, where quarrels between the
several aspirants for the Governorship
have prccipitated disorders, may neces.
state military intervention by the Fed
eral government.
General Mugica, a close friend of
Carranza. seized the government Offices
IN Mlchoacan yesterday. A group of
his partisans attacked the residence of
Garcia de Leon, the opposing cand-
date, and street fighting followed which
had to be put down by Federal troops
at the point of the bayonet.
General I.azaro Cardenas, provisional
Governor appointed By President de la
Huerta, was unable to conciliatc the
contending factions and asked to be
relieved Of his post. His request was
granted. but he remains as military
commander of the district under strict
instructions from General P. Elias
Gales, Minister Of War, to keep out
of political squabbles
Acting Minister of the Interior Lugo,
when called before the Chamber of
deputies to report on conditions in
Mlchoacan, said he believed everything
possible had been done and that the
Department of War had been instruct
ed to use such force as necessary to
maintain order, pending the decision
of the Supreme Court on the legality
of the elections. Lugo expressed the
belief that the trouble arose out of
the inability of General Cardenas to
remain neutral and the fact that he
had indicated to one faction in the con-
trovcrsy that he regarded its stand as
correct.
The situation in Aguascaientes so
far has been orderly, but the Difficult
ties over the elections are not yet roned
out Five candidates claim the Govern
orship and each is supported by a
group of partisans. Officials here be-
lieve that the dispute will be settled
without bloodshed.

Prices OF Grain Fall in
LOaUer Food Cost Driue
" heat Values in Chicago Mar
ket Drop ~ Sd Gents; Corn
and Oats at LOtUesf Leuels

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-Big breaks in
the price of wheat took place to-day,
largely as result of agitation for a
general cut in food cost. The smash
of values in wheat amounted to as
mach as 12M cents a bushcl, and the
market closed in a semi -demoralized
condition, December delivery at S225
to $2.2512 and March $2.15 to $2.16.
Heretofore wheat has been advanc-
ing, despite setbacks in the price of
other grain. The chief reason ascribed
for such strength was huge sales Of
wheat for export to Europe. To-day,
however, the stimulus of export busi-
ness appeared to have lost it's inhu-
ence, and especially near the end Of
the day the wheat market tumbled
wildly downward.
In sympathy with the weakness of
wheat, other grain markets also gave
way, and both corn and oats fell to the
lowest price levels yet for the 1920
crop.
