it was reliably learned today.
At the present time the commission
only permits the company to keep
1.6 cents per kilowatt hour, but the
| users Of electricity are now. and have
during the period of litigation, con-
tinued to pay the old 10-cent rate.
Would Keep 10-Cent Rate.
If the companys estimate Of its
valuation is finally sustained 1t would
get the benefit of the full 10 cents,
but. according to authoritive infor-
nation obtained today, the rate would
not go higher than that.
| When asked today what they

tertained by the commission for a
| conference to bring about a COM
promise on the valuation. officials of
! the power company stated that they
see no legal obstacle to such a step.
Study Court Opinion.
! The company, these officers stated,
/ is anxious to cooperate with the COM
mission and would attend any meet
| ing called by the commission with a
| view to arriving at final valuation.
| Two members of the commission,
it is known, are giving serious
| thought today to the possibilities Of
a settlement of the litigation, but
| sions until they have studied care

| Supreme Court, in which 1t sent the
valuation case back to the Court of
Appeals for want of jurisdiction.
May Work Out Compromise.
| One District official said today that
| the action Of the United States Su-
| preme Court means that some in
crease in the original value placed on
| the property must now be made in
accordance with the verdict of the
| District Court of Appeals. If this be
! true, he said. 1t would be a most de-
/ sirable step IL the commission and
| the company could agree between
| themselves what the value should be
and have that agreement ratified by
| the District Supreme Court.
If such a settlement cannot be ar

| of those familiar with the case that
year or two more of litigation may

| One Of the factors that will bring

WELCOME IN ANAToL1A.
Press Sees Friendly Era With q. S.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 12.-Most
of the Anatolian newspapers welcome
the Chester project for the economical
development of Turkey on the ground
that it will help to establish friendly
relations with the United States, the
only country which has no political or
tmperialistfc aims in the near east"
Initial Project Modified.
Admiral Chester's initial project
has been greatly modified, and from
building railroads in Anatolia it now
undertakes 20 reconstruct virtually
the whole economic and social life of
Turkey. According to Clayton Ken
nedy, representative of the Chester
group, the concern promised the ma
1ionalist government to build rail
ways and towns. introduce the cleo

Angora on Washington Lines.
The towns will be a reproduction of
the small American towns, while An
CORA will be a reproduction Of Wash
tngton in miniature. At first the
Chester group will confine it's activi-
ties to finding financial support for
building a network Of more than
2,000 miles Of railways connecting the
eastern villages of Anatolia with the
Aegean and Black Seas.
The project seems very daring de-
manding an investment of several
hundred million dollars in an eastern
country ruling itself and keeping ex-
ecutIve power in it's own hands. Such
a government has little chance of
success in a nation where 9S per cent
Of the inhabitants are illiterate. On
account Of this many Turks are some
what skeptica1 as to the possibility
of Americans investing many mil
lions. The regions through which
the railway concessions are given are
believed to be rich in minerals

Should the situation in Turkey be-
come stabilized after peace is signed
the Chester project on a less ambitious
scale might have a chance of success,

coal and coke exported-this is the
way the Germans summarize the out
standing results of the occupation of
the Ruhr, which began exactly three
months ago. They declare that the

would have amounted TO 100000
tons of coal and coke.
Semi-official quarters here have is
sued a list giving the names, ad-
dresses and occupations and the dates
of the deaths of forty-eight Germans
who have been killed.
Twenty-Five of those killed are
given as laborers, thirteen as officials
and the remainder merchants, manu-
facturers and pensioners, and two
women. The ages range from eight
to seventy years.
The press censorship. the Germans
say. makes it impossible for them to
specify accurately how many CEN

imposed and how many billions of
marks in stolen money, conf1scated re-

PARIS. April 1e.-Important nego-
tiations have been begun between
France and Great Britain looking to-
ward the possible reconstruction OF
the entente on the reparations ques-
ton. Count Saint Aulaire, French
ambassador to London, has just re-
turned to his post with verbal in
structions from Premier Poincare to
inform Premier Bonar Law that
France is wiling to discuss the re-
ductioR Of the reparations total and

but not otherwise. :,
! Promises Not to Go.
Under no conditions will France
agree to evacuate the Ruhr district
upon a mere renewal of promises by
Germany. When Germany actually
begins to pay France and Belgium
will progressively, and in proportion
to the payments received. evacuate
both the Ruhr and the Rhincland, but
it is nevertheless the intention of
France to maintain a mission of en-
gineers and a nucleus OF troops in
Essen until the last payments are re-
ceived. The engineers would watch
the working of the German Industries
to prevent reparations frauds 2nd the
troops would be to provide a frame
work for renewal of the military oc-
cupation in case of another German
default.
This information is from the best
possible French source. 1t should be
added, however, that the inner
French circles are not optimistic over
the outcome of the new Franc Brit
ish conversations. 1t is feared that
the Bonar Law government will feel
unable to agree to the French insist
erce upon prolonged occupation Of
Essen.
