neither for nor against the prisoner.
Sheriff Ethelbert Byran then told Of
the boys possession OF a Boy Scout
knife with stains, apparently blood
spots. The knife has been sent to a
chemist for analysis. The Justice re-
marked that he had been told the
wounds in the girls body were much
deeper than this knife could make. Carl
Vogt counsel for the prisoner. said that
as the county and town authorities had
found no real evidence young Kluxen

youngster was serious but apparently
not frightened. The Justices conclusion
was that there was no specific evidence.
He also said he had been Informed that
there were others who might be reason

If che would go into the woods with him.
THAT was an entirely different boy.

OF the State Public Service Commission
advocated the consolidation of all the
gas companies of Greater New York.
Admitting he had not had opportunity
20 study the Prendergast plan in detail.
Mr.. OBrien commented on the advan-
tp ges claimed by Chairman Prendergast
for the idea and took occasion at the
same time 10 critlcise the policy Of the
Public Service Commission in its deal
ing with tho Individual gas companies
lie said In part:
The query came to my mind. why
does not the Public Service Commission.
with it's ample powers. effect all of these
results now. to-day. and not next. year
or Ia some year yet to come? Why are
the gas companies at the present time
allowed TO charge extortlonate prices for
gas in the face Of evidence in the record
before the Public Service Commission
and I'm the face of the generally. con-
ceded falling prices of labor and ma
teriai?
"why do not Chairman Prendergast
and his colleagues on the Miller Public
Service Commission issue an order for
bidding the New York and Queens Com
pany from imposing illegally a service
charge?
why have Chairman Prendergast and
his Miller associates abandoned partici-
patton as defendants with the city and
the Attorney-G General In the various lit
igations now pending which are de-
signed to sweep aside the statutory
rates for gas?
'T would suggest TO the Public Ser.
vice Commission that they devote thei,
attention TO the real business before
them; see that the consumers of gas
get a square deal with Justice to all In.
terests concerned, and leave the so
called constructive programme to those
who spend the summer at Chautauqua
