Yearly Gas Bill.
Up 9 Millions,

Consolidated Disputes Esti-

More Under New Rate
Higher Tariff Is Filed

The Consolidated Gas Company flec
with the Public Service Commission
Yesterday new tariff fixing the price
of gas to consumers at $3.50 per thou.
sand feet.
Public Service Commissioner Barrett
was served with copy Of the Federal
Court order continuing the injunction
OF last August restraining the commits
sion from enforcing the statutory rate
Corporation Counsel OBrien said
that he was not optimistic over the
possibilities OF a taxpayers suit in
bringing about 8 lower rate than the
one fixed by the company after the rul-
ing by Judge Hand.
Mr.. o'Brien said that the company
would receive about s21, 100000 more
per year than when the rate was 50
cents, on the basis that the company
sold about 3o,000.ooo,o00 feet of gas q
YEAR. This. he said, would mean abou,
S9.ooo,o00 more than the company
woula receive under the S12o rate.
These figures were challenged by the
Consolidated Company, one of whose
Mr.. O'Brien's figures are wrong
lhe company sells about 10000 900 .OOC
5eet instead o. 10000 600 900. and this
means additional gross receipts o!
S6,OoO,ooo more than under the Sl.2I
rate, and not S9,o00,o0O more, as Mr.
O'Brien says"
The Consolidated people were caught
mapping In one respect, somewhat move
IN Its character. They began yester-
day with large force of machinists
and helpers the changing of the COG
wheels IN 100000 coin meter machines
so as to take advantage quickly of the
new rate. The present coin meters are
adjusted TO the Sl.20 rate in order ia
get what Is coming to them under the
new rate the company must change the
mechanism OF the machines so that
less gas Will flow through for given
com than formerly. Il will take two
months to make the change in these
machines, and until the changes are
made the users can get gas at the
old price
James H. Jourdan, president Of the
Brooklyn, Union Gas Company. said
yesterday that an increase in gas rates
in Brooklyn is possible within q short
time, although he has done nothing
eoout the new rate. 1t is regarded as
probable that the Brooklyn rate will
be like the Manhattan one, approx
mately S1.50 per thousand feet, He
SAID tnat for time the company was
permitted to charge 81 cents thou
sand feet, II cents being impounded
Then further increase to S110 was
allowed, with 80 cents impounded

Mrs. Boone also called the West
Forty seventh Street police station, and
Patrolman Utter was sent to the home.
When he arrived Bess had escaped to
the roof of the house. Patrolman Ult-
ger drew his nightstick and went
slowly UP the attic stairs and to the
roof. He saw Bcss lying at full
length near the edge of tho roof and
believed that the cat was dead.
Unsuspecting, the patroman an
preached the cat and nudged her with
his foot In twinklng the cat took
on one OF its reserved lives and sank
its sharp teeth in the patrolman's leg.
Then it flew at the patrolmans bare
hands and succeeded in drawing blood
twice. Patrolman Ultzer backed off a
step or two and brought his night
stick into play. The cat loosened its
hold and retreated.
Taking aim. the patrolman let his
nightstick fly. A nearby skylight
crashed. Bess licked her chops. Then
the .patrolman picked up an empty
whisky case. This time his aim was
true. The box fell squarely over the
cat.
Making an improvised cage out of the
box, Patrolnian Utter took his prisoner
back into the station house, where the
Health Department was notified of the
capture.

from this source.

is an unwilling passenger on
our little boat.
She came on board at Jack
sonville in December, from a
dark, dingy bird shop of an old
friend. who, seeing her bite and
twist the thick wires of her
cage, evidently fearing she
might escape and fly away, took
the precaution of clipping one
Of her long pretty wings, SO that
she could not fly with her one
wing.
Today the doctor on board
took pretty Polly out of her
cage and let her walk around,
and, but for that clipped wing,
she would have flown off upon
the waters and perished before
she could have reached the
shores of the gulf.
Some of us have drawbacks,
like clipped wings. Let us be
thankful to be hindered from
flying off to what might be de-

ITALY PEEVED AT
BEING RANKED IN
THE SECOND CLASS
Payment Of Expenses of League
Of Nations Made Basis Of
Classifying the Members

Rome. Sept. g Much indignation
has been aroused in Italy by the pro-
posal that. in determining the eA
pcnsas oi the League of Nations, Italy
shou Il be assigned to the second cate
CORY.
Tho Italian national pride has beer:
hurt by the suggestion and columns
have appeared in the press protest
ing against the idea CT RELOCATING the
country to position inferior to other
great powers. According TO the sug-
gestion. Great Britain and France
would be placed in the first category
while Italy and Japan would occupy
the second. The price OF being regis
t red in the first category is 2.300,0r0
francs year while those of the see
ond pay but l.6Ou,oo0 lraacs year,
The Epoca gave expression to its
feelings in this manner:
The affair is exceptionally uE-
pleasant Italy which has so poteni!y
contributed to the victory cannot see
herself assigned to the see nd cate
CORY, as people who spend little are
assigned to Il restaurant OF the second
c.aSS.
Then, too, the fact that most Of the
organization and secre;aryships OF
,he League are in the hands of the
British constitutes another source of
complaint 1t is pointed out that the
secretarat Of the league consists of
10 members, Of whom 80 me Eng

more than Il dozen.

CONDITION OF
ESKIMOS TO BE-
INVESTIGATED
Expedition VIII Try To Learn
Something of Living Condi-
tons of That Race

Halifax. n. S, Sept. Problems
of dietetics, nutrition and sex among
the Eskimos will be studied by al
expedition to be sent out next May
by the school of hygiene of Johns
Hopkins University. The plans were
outlined here by DR.. Victor e. Levine
professor Of biochemistry and nut
ton at the Creighton School of Medi
cine, Omaha, who visited Halifax ear
ly this month on his way to Battle
HarbOr. Labrador.
Dir. Levine said that lie had been
sent as an advance guard to go with
party from Battle Harbor into the
Eskimo country for a preliminary sur
vey, particularly with regard 10 eli
matte conditions. He said that the
main expedition next year would be
solely one of scientific research and
that it was planned to penetrate parts
OF the Eskimo region hitherto unvis-
tied by white people.
The Eskimos, he said, are the heal
fealthiest people in the world when
not contaminated by white people.
Because of this fact the members of
the expedition hope that they may
discover some new theory of health
as put into practice by the dwellers in
the northland.
Or Levine and his party will return
in November, 1922. The main, expe-
dtion will spend next summer and
part of the winter of 1923 among the
Eskimos
