LIGHT COMPANY IGNORES RATES
 NAMED BY CITY
Bills Consumers of Electricity at Rates Higher than
 Authorized Ones.

Disregardng the scale of rates for electric current as established in City Ordinance No. 1S6, known as the light ordinance" the Alaska Electric Light & Power Company to- day mailed out it's regular monthly statements billing consumers at it's own scale, which is higher than that established by the city. The ordi- nance prohibits not only the collec- tion of rates higher than carried therein. but also the payment by ritlzens of higher rates than the maximum named.
 Mayor R. E. Robertson, whose at tention was called to the matter, said today that he believed the bills were mailed out as matter of intention of fighting the ordinance in the courts He said the company would probably go before the local district court in the immediate fu- ture and ask for an injunction to prevent the enforcement of the light ordinance. He added: Until the company does take some such action, however, it is a violation of the or dinance for citizens to pay the high CT rates.' He said that payment at the rates specified in the ordinance would be proper and he would ad- wise that payment be rendered on that basis pending some court order to thec contrary.
 Apparently. he said, the company's action in billing consumers al the rate it named itself. is the first step in an effort to. upset the city or dinance.

steamer Classic and transported on a
gun carriage to the st. V%incent's hos

Irish pipers played a lament, while
officers of the Dublin brigade acted as
pail bearers. Dense crowds gathered
hours before the appointed time, and
on all sides poignant grief was dis
played as the cortege passed. Hun
dreds of Dublin guards formed an es-

procession of bare headed men and
women followed. The coffin was
placed on the same catafalque on
which had rested the body Of Arthur

The wreck took place about a mile
east of Gary, while the train, not car

a speed estimated at more than 30
miles an hour in an effort to make up
lost time.
When the heavy engine struck the
rail from which the spikes had been
removed, 1t ploughed along on the ties
for some distance and then turned
completely over. The two enginemen
were dead when removed from the

COLLINS TIES Up MIL
LIONS FROM De VALERA
American Banks Barred From Paying
Over to Rebel Leader Any of
Gift Subscriptions

New York.-A temporary injunction
restraining banks in which are deposit
ed moneys collected for the Irish re-
publican cause from releasing them to
Eamonn De Valera or any of his agents
was signed by Supreme Court Justice
Burr, on application of attorneys rep
~resenting Michael Collins and other Of
ficers of the Irish free state forces.
1t was announced that approximately
$2,3OO,0O0 was tied up by the order.
Service of complaint on De Valera and
the other defendants was ordered to be
made through the insertion of adver-
tisements in papers in England and
Ireland. Most of the funds involved
are said to be deposited with the
Guaranty Trust company and the Har-
rison National bank of New York.
The main contention for an ~injunc-
ton raised was that Ireland now Is a
nation that De Valera is against the
and that he is not entitled to the
money.
If De Valera or his forces were
granted the present funds in American
banks, the free state representatives
contend, 1t would be devoted to the
carrying on of further revolution
against the present government and
prolonging of needless and unjustifi-
able civil war in a country which has
expressed by the ballot its preference
for the Irish free state form of gov
eminent.
