Following the increase Of the price
Of gas by tho Consolidated Gas Com
pany in Manhattan from SL2o TO $3.50,
subject to a future rebate of the diff
ference between the new rate and so
cents II ordered by the higher courts,
the Brooklyn Union Gas Company In
Brooklyn gave notice that it would
coon increase the existing rate in that
borough. The exact amount Of the
Increase was not announced, but the
abatement Of President James II.
Jourdan was taken 70 mean it would
be about the same as that adopted by
the Consolidated Company on the
ruling of United States District Judge
Learned Hand.
Mr.. Jourdan said the Federal Spe-
cial Master, Col. L. c. Graham, was
expected to file a final report within
a few days respecting the proper
priee for Brooklyn Union Gas. His
tentative report, Mr.. JOurdan said,
showed the present cost OF produc-
ton and manufacture was over S.lS
per thousand cubic feet, without any
return on the company's Investment
The Consolidated Gas Company to-
day filed the new tariff calling for a
SkSO rate for gas. made possible by
the decision OF Judge Hand. The
company also filed a copy of the
court order, which restraints the com
mission from interfering with the
new rate.
Tho gas company. according to its
counsel, William l.. Ransom. will
present a plan that will throw the
new burden more heavily on the small
Cnnsuuer even than a straight $3.50
rata and will relieve the load OF
largo consumers. The new plan will
cut the actual price of gas to $l.2S
Der 1000 cubic feet but will provide
for a so-cent service or meter charge
per meter.
Just what would be the effect Of the
6O-cent monthly service charge on diff
ferent classes OF consumers was not
explained by the gas company. Statis-
ticians who have specialized in gas in
yeshgations said to-day that no de-
pendable classification Of consumers
rated by the amount of gas consumed
per month is available.
There are about 100000 individual
consumers in the Consolidated systom,
Of which from 20 to 80 per cent may
be rated in the class consuming less
than 5000 feet per month. OF this
roughly half are in the 1.OoO-toot class

Ever since the overthrow Of Russian
Czardom there have been stories of
the smuggling OF the Russian Crown
jewels into the United States to be
converted into cash for the Soviet
leaders. The first Of these stories led
to nothing, but recently Mr.. Rush re-
ceived an anonymous letter that

back, gasping, pale, at what he saw.
He quickly recovered himself and
seized the surgeon. who speaks no
English and who seemed bewudered.
Lazarus telephoned Deputy Sur

armed guard to take possession Of
the box and its contents. It was re-
moved to the Barge once and to-

Swatting the ball at a great clip,
Cobb is leading the winter league
batters with an average Of .429.
But the big surprise of the first

league is the work of Willie Kamm,
third baseman for the Seals. Kamm
is pressing Cobb with q mark of .597.
Rogers Hornsby, leading hitter of

HOWARD RoUTS SHAW
ON CAMPUS CRIDIRON

Howard's last game on the home
gridiron ended in score of "a to in
favor OF Howard. The victory WIS
earned, for every score was the result
of a severe struggle with the Shaw
fighters. These Southerners presented
the stiffest argument exhibited on the
local field this season. The first score
was made In the first quarter when
Payne crossed the viCtor's goal after
a mixture Of line plays and completed
forward pass.
Very shortly after this score was
registered another was made. Howurd
had advanced the ball to Shaw's
10.yard line 'and was there held for
downs. Maury attempted to punt out
of danger, but Holton blocked the
kick and recovered the ball back o.
the goal line.
In this same quarter II. williams
gave the Howard supporters the scare
of the year when he got loose for a
45-yard run around the end and was
not smothered until he had reached
Howard's 10.yard line. Contee per-
formed this valiant deed.
The second half contained many
thills, but no scores until the fourth
quarter when Donaghv made n 45.yard
run off end with an exhibition OF
perfect Interference. After two sue
coss,Fe gains by Contee of six yards
each, Payne was sent across with the
third touchdown for Howard. After
every touchdown Brooks kicked goals
for additional points.
