CONSOLIDATED GAS
DIVIDENDS 8 P. c.
Increase Was Predicted in
Wall Street After L. S.
Supreme Court Decision.

Directors of the Consolidated Gas
Company to-day ordered that the
dividend of the company be placed
on an s per cent annual basis. Since
the spring of 1915. tho company has
been paying dividends at the rate Of
Z per cent. Annually
For the year which ended with the
close of last September the company
showed deficit as a result Of its own
operations of little short Of $4,000,
900. But it drew upon the surplus
earnings of the Edison, all of whose
stock it owns, and continued its per
cent. rate.
In March of this year the United
States Supreme Court declared the
S0-cent gas law Conhscatory, and it
was everywhere predicted in the fl
nancial district that as a result of
this decision shareholders would re-
ceive large income on their invest
ment

BURGLAR TRIO CUT
WIRE, TAKE $4,000,
SMOKE, THREATEN
TWo-Hour Visit in Samuel
SObel'S Great Neck Home
Nets Costly Jewels.

Three masked men of youthful ap-
pearance entered the home of Samuel
Sobel, Manhattan business man. on
Cedar Drive, Great Neck. L. l., about
o'clock this morning, cut the tele-
phone wires and robbed Mr.. and Mrs.
Sobel and Mrs. A. Wald, mother of
Mrs. Sobel, OF $4,000 in jewelry.
Each of the men carried flash
light and a revolver, two had black
jacks and one a piece of lead pipe.
Mrs. Wald was aroused by tinkle
of the telephone, which the authori-
ties believe was caused by the cutting
of the wires, and went to answer the
call. She was met at the door of her
bedroom by two OF the bandits, who
turned their flashlights on her and
warned her not to scream.
The electric lights were turned on,
and the bandits were Joined by the
third. They forced Mrs. Wald to
take them to the bedroom of Mr. and
Mrs. Sobel, who were then aroused.
Mr.. Sobel was ordered to get out of
bed, and to stand against the wall.
One of the bandits had a black mask
and the other two had white ones.
They took a diamond ring valued at
81, 900 and a diamond studded watch
valued at 81 900 from Mrs. Wald !:
two rings valued at $500 and $500
from Mrs. Sobel, as she sat up in bed,
and watch and gold pencil from So
bel.
Mr.. Sobel was ordered to open a
wall safe and did so. but there was
nothing in 1t. Mrs. Sobel was asked
where her bonds were, and said they
were in safe deposit in New York.
The bandits then asked Mr.. Sobel for
his cash, but he didn't have anything
except some small change.
The bandits remained in the house
for two hours, continuing a converse
ton with their victims and terroriz-
ing them with threats of violence.
One of the bandits took Mr.. Sobel' $
cigarette case and smoked his cigar
cites. They continued their search
for valuables and finally withdrew.
"Wc're not from Great Neck" one
of the bandits announced. $50 don't
look for us around here. We're
strangers. We were tipped off TO do
this job."
After they had gone, escaping
through the window which they had
forced, Mr. Sobel dressed and went
out to notify the police. County
Detective Miller, Fingerprint Expert
Hanson, Constable Anderson and
Deputy Sheriff Burns began an in
vestigatiOn.

$4,000 Silverware Stolen.

The watch towers and high walls
surrounding tho exclusive colony OF
Tuxedo Park, N. j., proved no bar TO
burglars on last Friday night, when
the homo Of Stanley G. Mortimer was
entered while the family was in the
house and robbed of $1,000 worth of
silverware. The theft was discovered
on Saturday morning when the butler
went to look for the tableware for the
morning meal.
In the absence of Chief of Police
Gilmore Bush the details OF the rob-
berry have been refused by his assist
ants, and Mr.. Mortimer declines 10

cups won by him are among the ar
ticles taken. Tuxedo Park. with its
big wall and towers guarded by armed

BATTLES WITH RATS
WHO CAME TOPREY
ON HIS BABY SON
George Kuhn Scores in West
Hoboken After Fierce En-
counter With Swarm.
KILLED ONE WHO BIT.
This Offender Had Attacked
Child and Returned With
Others All Big as Cats.

George Kuhn, No. $40 Ann Street,
West Hoboken, had a battle with q
swarm of giant rats, which invaded a
room in his home in the early hours
to-day to attack his five weeks old
baby boy. About II o'clock last night
Mr.. Kuhn and his wife were aroused
by the screams CT little George, who
was sleeping in baby carriage at the
side of their bed.
AS Kuhn leaped out of bed he saw
rat as big as n cat spring to the
floor from the carriage. The child
was bleeding profusely from bites in
the head and face. The rodent scam
pered and the father phoned for the
doctor in great haste.
THAT rat will be back" said the
doctor after treating the child. You d
better sit up ard watch for him."
And Kuhn kept vigil with broom
stick until near dawn when the rat
returned, accompanied by half a
dozen of his fellows. Mr.. Kuhn wanted
the particular rat that bit his kiddie,
and he recognized him by the blood
on his face and whiskers. He
swooped down on him and the rodent
jumped at him.
Swish went the broomstick and the
rat tumbled into a corner. Some OF
the other rodents made for the baby
carriage from which George had been
removed and others made for Kuhn.
He whaled around with the broom,
scattering them right and left, and
kept after the particular one that had
bitten little George. lie reversed the
broom and banged right and left with
the stick, returning to his attack upon
the first intruder. He jabbed him
into O. corner with the end of the
handle, jabbed and jabbed while the
rodent filled the air with his squeaks
Mrs. Kuhn didn't dare go to his
aid, fearful to leave the child for q
moment. But Kuhn proved equal &c
the occasion. He had taken the pre-
caution to put his shoes-on and they
helped a great deal in the fight. The
only rodent killed was the one that
bit the child, but Mr.. Kuhn declared
that the others went away limping
when they beat it for their holes
And he said they were all as big as
cats.
Kuhn took the dead rat to the
Board OF Health and demanded to
know il he were not entitled to some
protection at the hands of his land
lord. This is the third case Of the
kind that has happened in the neigh
borhood in two weeks. Two girl
babies were bitten in Jersey City
within that time. Mr.. Kuhn was as
sured there was no danger from the
bites.

In other words, the process would
be this: The workmen would return To
work and ask that their seniority
rights be restored. Naturally, tho
railroads to be consistent would refuse
to grant the request. This would inn
mediately become dispute within tho
meaning OF the Transportation Act.
and the Labor Board would get juris-
diction over the matter.
If the Labor Board should subse-
quently decide that the seniority
question had arisen after the present
strike began and was not really an
issue before that, and II the board
should grant the restoration OF senior
ity rights. without making the de-
cision precedent for future cases.
all of which would have to stand on
their own bottom, tho railroads
would be bound to accept the findings
of the Labor Board.
Unfortunately. some of the de-
Cisions OF the board have not been
respected in the past by the railroads,
but there is every reason to believe
that President Harding will make an
effort to enhance the prestige of the
board by securing even at this late
date obedience to the boards de-
cision on the part of tho railroads.
Mr.. Harding has tried TO man
oeuVre the situation without attempt
ing to influence the Labor Board
actions, but occasions for guidance
have arisen which have a direct
bearing on the settlement of the rail
strike, and the President Is using his
powers of persuasion to bring about
compromise which will ostensibly
he the action of the Labor Board but
really the policy of the Administra-
tlon.
Mr.. Cuyler, who represents the 1iS
rail executives who operate America S
railroads, has job ON his hands try
Ing to reconcile the various view
points of Eastern and Western roads,
but the impression after he left the
White House was that the situation
had reached a point where Mr.. Guy
lcr's leadership was essential 10 a
settlement.
AS for the coal strike, the Pres.-
dent feels that he will have better
chance to tackle that situation again.

rail strike is brought TO a peaceful

John l.. Lcwiss published state
ment that he is ready for n Joint
conference" Is regarded as significant,
for he did not limit the conference 10
specific sections or require that all
operators be represented. lie made
no limitations. The Administration
finds itself more or less faugued from
previous efforts TO do something
through a conference with miners and
operators, but the situation has grown
acute since the disputants were on the
White House carpet, and the belief
prevails that a change OF attitude and
compromising disposition now may
be apparent. where no symptoms OF

POSTAL WORKERS T..
u ORDER GREW FAST

WASHINGTON, Sept. ga ma
tion-wide oranization was launched
q little over year ago, the men,
ership of which could be counted on
the fingers of an armiess man.
Today this organization, the We'll
fare Bureau of Post Office Depart
nlent, boasts of a membership ex-
ceeding 125,000 persons and it is still
growing.
The idea for such a bureau was
conceived by officials of the Post
Office Department when they were
seeing methods for improving con-
ditions in the post offices through
out the country and lettering the
working relations of postal en-
ployes. It was decided to have rep
resentative councils in the various
post offices.
Since the inception of the idea
there have sprung up in post offices
S96 councils. There are three kinds
of councils-local councils in first
and second-class post offices, central
councils and county souncils. County
councils take in members of the
staffs of third and fourth-class post
offices and rural free delivery car
riers..
OF the first-class offices 431 have
welfare councils, and there are 235
second-class offices organized. There
are twenty central councils. Further
reports of organization of employees
are being received by officials daily
Post office department officials
are unanimous in declaring that the
new councils have been an import
ant feature of the postal service.
They have co-operated with the
postmasters in suggesting improve
ments in the service and they have
suggested improvements in working
conditions of the employees in the
many offices.

Gliding that washbowls and individual
