WASHINGTON, March Shipments

The proclamation was issued in &C
cordancc with joint resolution an
proved January 81, 1922, by Congress,
which provided that whenever the
President finds that in any American
country, or in any country in which
the United States exercises cItraterri-

Supreme Court Denies
Review Of Craig's Case

The United States Supreme Court
Yesterday refused to intervene at this
time in the contempt proceedings
against Comptroller Charles L. Craig,
according to reports received yester-
dav from Washington. The city Off
cial's application for a writ of Ger
tiorari to have the highest tribunal
review the ruling of the Circuit Court
of Appeals here, declaring that an ap-
neal could lie from Judge Martin T.
Manton's dismissal of the case, was de-
MED. This removes the last obstacle
to a hearing of the case before the
Circuit Court this spring.
Comptroller Craig WAS sentenced to
a term Of sixty days in the Essex
County Jail, Newark, by United States
District Judge Mayer, who held that q
letter the Comptroller addressed to
Public Service Commissioner Lewis
Nixon, under date of October E, 1919,
constituted contempt Of court Circuit
Judge Manton, sitting in the district
court, subsequently granted writ of
habeas corpus and discharged Comp
troller Craig, but the Circuit Court
of Appeals took jurisdiction, and it is
from that action Comptroller Craig
sought to appeal. The letter in ques-
ton referred to the Comptroller's de-
sire to have an additional receiver or
co-receiver appointed for the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company.

Court Decision Sends
Gas Stocks Soaring

In Wall Street yesterday the effect of
the Supreme Courts decision in the
Consolidated Gas case was seen in a
spectacular rise in the shares of this
company, Brooklyn Union Gas and Peo-
pies Gas, which operates in Chicago.
About the time the decision was an
nounced multiplying the 80-cent gas law,
Consolidated Gas was selling near 81.
The price in q few minutes jumped to
par and in the afternoon, under the in
huence of steady buying orders, scared
to 1862 and finally closed at 106, net
advance of 7A points over Saturday S
last sale.
Brooklyn Union Gas was even more
spectacular in the extent of its rise,
closing the market session at IS, d
net climb of II points. This company
has case before the Supreme Court
similar to that of the Consolidated Gas
Company and it is believed that this
case will he dismissed, as the same
questions are involved. 1t is estimated
that the company has impounded S.
100000 representing gas charges in ex-
cess of the S0-cent rate.
At the close of 1921 it was esti-
mated that the Consolidated Gas Com
pany had impounded S12,500,00o in cx-
cess of the S0-cent rate and that, in ad-
diton, all subsidiary companies on that
date had imaounded S7500,0 900. 1t is
understood that this money will be
largely expended on additions and i'm
prOvementS to plants.

The people of this city arc sick and

menting on the bill. "rhcy also are
tired and disgusted over the attitude Of
the subsidized press, which is abusing

Cortelyou Says Ruling
Is Rebuke to Critics
Sees -4ugury OF Justice for Cor
porations; O'Brien Declares
EHy WI Keen Up the Fight

George b. Cortc]you, president of
the Consolidated Gas Company, de-
clared that the 8O-cent gas decision
given by the Supreme Court was most
gratifying to the trustees and officers
of the company.
For the last three years this com
pany and its subsidiaries have been
subjected to unsparing attack and
systematic misrepresentation on the
part Of the public law officers who
sought to prevent the establishment
of adequate rates." said Mr.. Cortelyou.
"Thc most vindictive efforts were made
to create public prejudice, confuse the
issue, mislead our customers, and in
timldatc every ono who suggested
justice for this company. Even the
Federal judges of this district were
vigorously and unscrupupously crti-
clzed for daring to find the facts and
award substantial Justice To all this
hostile campaign the unanimous dc
csion of the highest court comes as
an emphatic and fitting rebuke. The
decision is of nationwide importance
as All augury of Justice and fair deal
ing for public utilities and their in
vestors
Predicts Reasonable Regulation
"It probably win mark the end of
efforts to fix gas rates rigidly in re-
sponse to political clamor, and will
lead to an era of impartial reasonable
regulation according to the facts and
the law. Every essential contention
of this company is sustained
unanimously by the highest court. The
statement Of the Corporation Counsel
yesterday is Of the same character as
his previous statements, unanimously
repudiated by the nations great
court. His allegations now are as
false and specious az they have al
ways been, and as the Supreme Court
has unanimously found them to be-"
Corporation Counsel John p. O'Brien
said that he had not yet read the de-
cislon and could not discuss it in de-
tail, but that he had been advised of
its substance by telephone from Wash

Mayor Hylan, and those associated
with him." said Mr.. O'Brien, "will fight
all the more vigorously to have fair
and reasonable rates. The responsible
lty Is now up to the Public Service
Commission for the establishment Of
fair rates. 1t was given sweeping
powels M this respect in the Knight
Alder bill last year, and the public
will hold the commission responsible.
The fight for the consumer has lust
| begun"
Chairman William A. Prendergast
of the Public Service Commission, de-
clared that the decision would clarifv
the gas situation
Will Clarity Situation
"1f the decision is as it has beer
reported to me-" he said, at will
clarity the situation and enable the
commission to proceed unhampered by
argument to the effect that we are
bound by what was the statutory rate
OF eighty cents. It is earnestly to be
hoped, now that the highest court it
the land has spoken. that the City OF
New York will be prepared to look at
the question of gas rates in the light
OF the Supreme Courts decision"

to increase the proportion of special
interest bearing accounts carried by
state banks tnat may be loaned on
real estate. He said to-day that the
State superintendent of Banks had
given his approval to the measure, that
the Assembly Committee on Banks had
reported favorably on it, and that it
probably would be passed by the AS
sembly this week and, later, by the
Senate
In order 10 prevent competition with
savings banks, now the chief lenders
on real estate, Nh Mastick provided
III his bill that the measure should
apply only to state banks in towns and
villages which had no savings banks
1t is possible, he thinks, that, the bill
if it becomes law, would tend to re-
lieve conditions in New York City by
stimulating building in suburban dis
tricts
Certain state banks" he said. "are
permitted to lend not to exceed 25 pei
cent Of their total assets on real es.
tate. Savings banks are permitted tc
lend not to exceed 65 per cent of THEN
total assets on real estate. State
banks are permitted to take special
interest bearing deposits in the nature
of savings accounts subject to a notice
of withdrawal Of a specified number OF
days, no fixed number being prescribed
The notice of Withdrawal for deposits
in savings banks is generally sixty
days. Savings banks are averse tc
lending much of their funds outside
Of their immediate communities.
at seems as if it would help the
housing situation in many communi-
ties if their banks could lend more
than they are permitted to do at pres
ent on real estate. if they could do sc
under proper restrictions and without
competing directly with savings banks
The bill introduced, therefore, pre-
scrbes that state banks in cities and
villages, where there arc no savings
banks-which state banks maintain g
special interest bearing depart ment
subject to withdrawal notice Of not
less than sixty days-may lend not tc
exceed so per cent of the amount or
deposit in the special interest depart
ment instead of 25 per cent of their
total assets on real estate.
"There are about siXty-five banks ir
the state which could take advantage
of this provision and many Of these
have larger sums on deposit in the
special interest department than they
have in the checking department
These latter banks could, therefore, in
crease their loans on real estate with
out risk and to the advantage of theil
immediate communities. 1t Is esti
mated that by this means several mil
lions of dollars more could be released
for the building of homes than coult
be loaned by the banks under the ex
listing law"

rather plantively says that his plans
for scrapping useless car lines are con-
demned while those of the Transit
Commission meet with ecstatic ap-
proval.'
"The only so-caled constructive, or
at least specific, plan / have heard the
Mayor give out WAS contained in his
speech of acceptance of the mayoralty
nomination. In this he proposed rip

ut seems proper to add that VIC do
not intend by anything said herein
to intimate what would have been a
reasonable rate for the sale of gas
under the circumstances disclosed
The S0-ccnt rate was confiscatory; the
S1.25 maximum imposed by the court
during a specified period as condition
to tho injunction was a limitation in
favor of the consumers"
