tor in a duM encounter with fate,
Lyall Bruno, thirty, a settler, today
is recovering from the effects of ex-
posture which he suffered Monday
night when he plunged through soft

the water after o struggle lasting
half an hour.
Meanwhile, an Indian boy named
Kahdub, attracted by the light CT

Bruno, tparalyzed from exposure,
could neither move nor talk. The

Bruno was given a dry set of cloth
ing in the form of bear and moose

Gas Measuring
,Wranggle Ends
With a Poem
Corporation Counsel's7'hrcat
to Quit Hearings Causes
Prendergast TO Recall
''Slaves of Arrogance"
British System Favored
City Sticks to 22 Candle
Power Light Unit Against
Proposed Heas Uni.

The Public Service Commission CON
oluded yesterday the taking of tcst
mony on the question of whether or
not the system Of measuring gas in
New York City should be changed from
the present 22-candle power method
to the British thermal unit system.
Corporation Counsel John P. OBren
furnished his last kick in the hearings
by serving notice Oh the commission
that the city would withdraw from
participating in any OF the gas hear
ings before the commi sson unle ss that
body reversed its rulings to qualify
the testimony Of city witnesses and to
provide for investigation of the gas
companies by city employees.
"Mr. O'Bricns latest cfusion,' said
Chairman William A. Prendergast,
reminds me of the old English poem:
THE slave of arrogance and pride
He has no hearing on the prudent side.
His Oft repeated quirks. he still repeats
Ne" raised objections with new quibblcs
Until, sinking in the quicksand he defends
He dies disputlns. aud the contest ends"
Mr.. O'Brien and the city authorities
nave taken stand against any change
from the present candle power method
of measuring the gas. Mr.. Prender-
gast had read into the record yesterday
letters from James B. limerick, Of the
RldgeWood Community Council. and
Jabez f. Cunningham, Of the City Par
Lament of Community Councils, writ
ter last October. approving of the es-
adjustment of the British thermal
unit system of measurement. They
changed their attitude, according to
the commissioners and have been sup
porting Corporation Counsel O'Brien
IN his contentious, without making any
explanation Of their change of mind.
The commission began the hearings
last February and experts from vari-
Gus parts of the country and New York
were called as witnesses. They were
unanimously in favor of the substitu-
uon of the British thermal unit sys-
tenn, pointing out that this city is the
only one in the United States which
has not adopted that System. The tes-
tmony also showed that the consumers
would not only be benefited by the
change by receiving q lower gas rate,
but that fully 90 per cent Of the gas
consumers in greater New York use
gas Tor heating purposes instead OF
illuminating purposes. The 22-candle
power standard is an eliminating gas
and the British thermal unit system is
heating standard
committee representing the gas
companies. the Merchants Association
and the large industrial users of gas
submitted joint report to the com
mission during the hearings advocat-
ing the change to the British thermal
unit system and suggesting schedule
of "block' OF graduating rates for
large industrial users Of gas instead
OF the present fat rate system Under
tins report not only the large user, but
the small consumer as we'll, will re-
celVe reduction IN rates with the
adoption cf the British thermal unit
system. Chairman Prendergast will
review a. the testimony submitted in
the case before rendering a decision.
