Chicago, July 31-Panic reign
ed for a period in the vicinity of
Twenty.fifth and ThroOp streets
when a giant gas tank, sixty feet
in diameter and one hundred feet
high blew up with a terrific roar
that could be heard for miles
around, and which provoked the
belief in distant parts of the city
that an earthquake was shaking

The tank, located at a corner Of
Twenty-fifth and ThroOp streets,
gave way without warning, and in
a few minutes the entire area in
that sectionseemed to be in
flames, while gas fumes were so
strong that scores were over
come. Fighting the fire was
made more difficult for the fire
men by the gas, and masks had to
be worn, which coupled with the
intense heat, placed them at great
disadvantage.
More than dozen fires were
burning at the same time and
practically the entire city depart
ment was called out. After sew
eral hours of valiant fighting the
flames were subdued, and ambu-
lances carried the injured to their
homes or to hospitals.

Warn Colonizers
Against Going to
South Americas
BY Associated Press }

Washington, July 81 - Warming
against unofficial promoters Of coloni-
zation schemes in South America was
issued today by the commerce depart
ment, which added that such promo
ters have been particularly active in
the western states. Many Americans
going to South America as colonists
have found that they have invested
their savings in land in the remote
wilderness, the department said.
Reports have recently reached
Washington" the statement contin-
ued, concerning the unhappy plight
of number of American citizens who
have been inveigled by unreliable pro-
moters into going to South America
as colonists. Having invested their
savings in land and n passage money
they have arrived at their destination
with little or no funds, and have
found that their purchases were in re-
mote localities, without markets or
means of communication. Disillu-
stoned, they have made their way
back through the wilderness to the
coast, singly or in groups.
while South America has millions
of acres Of good public land, those
who are acquainted with the country
are of the opinion that Americans
contemplating thre as settlers should
make careful investigation of such
factors as transportation facilities,
climatic conditions, etc., before nves-
ting in any colonization scheme"

UTILITY COMP ANY
ASKS DISSOLUTION
LIGHT INJUNCTION
Case being Argued Be-
fore Judge Andrews
Today
CITY HAS GIVEN BOND|
Company Cannot Collect
But IO-Cent Rate on
Current

A motion to quash the Temporary
injunction granted the City of Palat-
ka last Friday, temporarily restrain
ing the Souther Utilities Co. from
collecting more than ten cents per Kill
owat hour for electric current, is be-
ing argued today in Orlando before
Judge C. o. Andrews, of the Circuit
Court. Thomas B. Dowda, represent
ing the city, went to Orlando last
night to represent the cAy, while W.
B. Crawford, of Orlando, of general
counsel for the Southern Utilities Co.,
is representing the movants.
Saturday a special session of the
city council was held at which time
bond in the sum of 81 900 was made
in accordance with the courts order
to protect the company in the event
the injunction-is finally vacated. This
sum is the margin of difference be-
tween the amount that would accrue
under ten cent collection and a thir-
teen cent collection. If the case went
over another month the city would be
required to put up an additional thou
sand dollars for each month.
In the opinion of some legal au-
thorities the proper thing to have
dome would have been for the consul
mers to continue paying the thirteen
cents, and to hold the extra three
cents in escrow pending final disposi-
tion of the suit, each receipt issued
by the company being good for three
cents in the event q permanent in
junction was granted.
This is the plan followed out sew
eral years ago when several railroads
of the country resisted the reduction
of passenger rates.
Under the injunction issued by
Judge Simmons in Jacksonville Fri
day the Southern Utilities cannot col
lect thirteen cents for it's current.
However, bills computed on the thir-
teen cents for shrdlu emf eta shrdlui
teen cent basis have already been
mailed out. Attorneys state, how
ever, that consumers are not forced
to pay this amount, and that every
time the ompany accepts such pay
ment il will be in contempt of court.
