report was current here today that
twenty-slx Black and Tan policemen
were killed in the violent 1ghting In
County Cork yesterday. Dublin Castle

ment on casualties.
Late advices from the field OF battle
reveal that two engagements we're
fought and that large detachment
OF crown forces had a narrow escape
from capture due to the superior
knowledge o fthe district by the Sim
Feiners.
The second action developed while
reinforcements OF soldiers and police
were being rushed up to the vicinity
OF Ballyvourney, where the first en-
gaRement occurred.
The reinforcements were deployed
In an effort to block the retreat OF
the Republicans. This resulted In n
two-hour running fight amidst the
treacherous bogs that dot that section
OF the country. BY evening the COM
batants had worked nearly 20 Mill

GASRATESTAY
Lighting Company Petitions
Utilities Board-Hearing Is
Set for March II.

Consumers of gas in Washington
will continue to pay 81 ,32 per thou

ties Commissioners decide in favor
Of a petition filed today with them
by the Washington Gas Light Com
pany.
MAY RETURN TO OLD RATE.
If the commission does not act ia
vorably on the petition, tho rate will
go back to the old rate Of 95 cents
per cubic feet.
The Washington Gas Light Com
pany In it's petition asks that the
rate OF $1.32 be continued from
March IS to September 1s. The fact
that the rate goes into effect during
the middle Of the month Is because
the meter readings are made as of
that date.
Coal, oil and labor, which are the
expense factors in the making Of gas,
the commission Is told, show no signs
OF getting cheaper, and therefore the
company asks that the present rates
be continued at least until next fall,
when things may adjust themselves
to a lower price level.
The commission fixed March IL for
hearing on the petition OF the COM
pany.
In the petition the company admits
that 1t is earning 5.s6 per cent on the
fair valuation of it's property. The
petition includes a request that the
prices ask ed be applied to the George
town Gas Light Company also.

"the prices OF these commodities at
this time are not fixed and uncer-
tainty exists as to what they will be
during the period for which the COM
pany asks an extension of the exist
ing selling rates. The cost Of anthra-
cite coal. the prices that the gas COM
pany has paid UP to this time are the
highest ever paid. and these prices
still continue.
New contracts, II possible, will be
entered into after April /, but great

gas company viii be able to make
any contract for anthracite coal with
water delivery. The prices that have
been obtained from the various coal
| companies for deliveries after April 1
do not show any reduction in the
present prices now being paid by the
gas companies.
From the best information which
the company has been able to obtain,
II believes that the average price
which II will have to pay for oil
during the period from May 81, 1921.
to the meter readings In September.
1921, should be estimated at not less
than 10 cents per gallon. The aver
age cost Of oil used during the cal
cndar year, 1920. was 1902 cents
per gallon; and the average cost of
oil used from June 1, 1920, to jan
uary 81, 1921, Is 1855 per gallon,
and the average cost of oil for the
year ending May 81, 1921 (eight
months actual and four months es-
timated), is 11.34 per gallon

Commerce and the other by the Wash

Following the meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce, a resolution
was adopted declaring that the men,
bers were 'unalterably opposed to
any such attempt" DR.. Crafts at
tended the meeting. and for more
than an hour was on the witness
stand. He was frequently interrupted

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Feb. 26.
-President-elect Harding brought
his southern vacation to close to-
day. After more than a month of
golfng and fishing and Cabinet
making, the Harding trunks were
being packed for moving to Wash
ington.
DENNY PRINCIPAL VISITOR.
The Harding party will leave st.
Augustine tomorrow night. going first
to Marion to give the "home folks" a
last glimpse OF the President-elect
and Mrs. Harding. A day and a night
will be spent In ''the old home town
before moving on for the inaugural
ceremonies and four years in Wash
ington.
Mr.. Harding leaves Florida with
four members Of his Cabinet already
designated, and an excellent prospect
Of there being five before the hour OF
departure arrives. The President
elects principal engagement today
was a conference with Edwin DENLY,
of Michigan, who is considered a GER
tainty for the Secretaryship OF the
Navy. Mr.. DENLY arrived here last
night 1t is-Axpectedythat before he
leaves his s.sppointment mt to- the. naval
portfolio win be finally confirmed.
Mr.. Harding requested DENLY to
come to Florida to go over with him
certain phases of the naval problem.
1t is the first meeting between the
two, and the conference was described
as a "get together meeting between
the President-elect and his future
naval chief. Mr.. Harding Is par
ticularly interested in the Far East
ern problem with which DENLY Is
familiar, owing to his ten years spent
in the Chinese customs service.
DAVIS NOT LABOR'S CHOICE.
Although the President-elect has
seen At so far to officially confirm
only four members Of his Cabinet
Hughes, Daugherty, Hoover, and Wal
lace-every indication here points to
the final nomination of the Cabinet as
1t was tentatively selected few days
ago.
The one position about which un-
certainty is still felt is the Labor post.
James ]. Davis, of Pennsylvania and
the nomination, but there was moth
ing today to indicate that his appoint
ment is certain.
The President has received
from the American Federation OF
Labor telegram urging the appoint
ment of a man purely labor in his
tendencies. This was interpreted here
as a protest against the possible ap-
pointment OF Davis, inasmuch as labor
leaders have raised the issue that
Davis has been out of labor's active
ranks SO long that his appointment
does not come under the head of a
labor concession.
The representations of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor chiefs but
barely concealed their espousal OF the
cause of James Duncan, of Massachu-
setts, one of their vice presidents,
who worked diligently during the
campaign for Harding and Coolidge.
Indications here point to the labor
post as being one of the last to be
filled and announced. 1t Is not be-
lieved that definite announcement
on this place will be forthcoming un-
til March f.

To the Voters of Fort Worth:

We address you on the behalf of bigger and better
cty-a safer place in which to live place where hu
man life will be healthier and happier, because these
cannot come to any community which is infected with
lawessness and infested with law breakers We have no
desire to speak i'll of any candidate in the coming cleo
ton for the office of Police and Fire Commissioner
but only to present to you the reasons which have
prompted us to support the candidacy of John Alder
man for that position
John Alderman is native of Fort Worth; his every
impulse and ambition is cenered in it's welfare, in its
schools, its churches its Streets its prosperity the
sancty of its obligations the integrity of the admin
istration of it's affairs and the economy in such
administration as good business man would apply to
his own personal enterprise
Again. John Alderman, has been for years and is
Deputy United States Marshal faithfully perform
ing every duty of that office thus giving assurance,
both of his efficiency and sincerity if called by the
tiers to the place he seeks. We understand that of
Mr. Adermans opponents is a man who has had no ex-
perience whatever peace officer Three of the can
didates for Police and Fire Commissioner are now or
have been members of the Fort Worth Police force and
we respectfully and without heat, suggest that what
Fort Worth needs much more than anything else,
is reorganization and regeneration of the Police De-
partment-new men, vigorous men, outstanding men,
men in day time and men in the night time men in
every relation OF life who would to wink at crime
or share in its profits John Alderman has never been
in any way connected with the Fort Worth Police De-
partment and in opinion, is the who will &C
complsh these needed changes
This statement is made in no spirit of partisanshp,
but as an appeal to your judgment and reason and we
ask that you give it your earnest consideration.
