WILL FIGHT If
RATES RAISED
BY EDISON CO.
n, United Press Leased Wire

Los ANGELES, Aug. l3.-That
any increase in rates granted to the
Southern California Edison Com
panv will meet with determined
fight was indicated today when
Attorney W. j. Carr, representing
26 cities including Los Angeles, APP
peared before the railroad commits
sior today with the request that
the company s application be denied.
In majority decision handed
down on August l, the commission
granted the Edison company 10
per cent increase effective Sept.
I, aud extending over period of
eight months ending May l, 1925.
But this decision was reseinded on
the following day when commission
ers Seavey aud Shore filed dissent
ing opinions.
Attorney Carr eontended that the
Power Company has already piled
mp an enormous surplus which il
should draw upon in this present
water power crisis.
esOur contention is that, as the
loss resulting from power short
age Is general. the burden should
be borne generally aud equitably, =
Carr declared.
Commissioners Seavev and Whit
lcsey are sitting at the rehearing
which, il was stated, may be con
clnded within ten days.

Los ANGELES, Aug. 13.-With
the states rebuttal argument ex-

ease of Charles w. Doris, charged
with Staying his wife and Henry
ID. Never, wealthy Pasadena mer-
chant, will go 10 the jury for de
cision today.
Assistant District Attorney Trieke
for the first time since the trial
disclosed yesterday in his rebuttal
the state s. theory Of the murder.
That Doris motive in Staying WAS
revenge because the $4,000 note he
hold with MEYERS signature had
been found worthless owing to an
Intervening dissolution Of partner
ship agreement, was Frieke' s de-
eiaration.
An argument on The part of At
torney Gilbert for the defense which
was devoted largely to an attack
upon Gerald Walters, 4 former dis
chal ged employee of Doris, who
owed the defendant a note for &c..
240, preceded the states rebuttal
argument.

MARX INTERVIEW
ON CONFERENCE
IS OPTIMISTIC
BY LLOYD ALLEN



LONDON, Aug. l3..-''T think the
conference viii be successful ON all
points, y Chancellor Marx of Ger
many said today in an exclusive IN
lcrvicw granted the United Press.
"This is the most important meet
ing since the treaty of Versailles
was signed,' Marx continued, land
fer the first timel repeat for the
first time-the allies are treating
us on equal terms.
The German chancellor seemed to
consider that the most important
factor in making for a successful
outcome.
IL am very glad to say he vol
urtcered, that Premier Herriot,
Notwithstanding great opposition in
certain political circles in France
aud even in his encourage, has stood
firm.
Want Peace
"The majority of the French peo.
tie want peace and quiet. -
Asked concerning the all impor-
tant Question of military evacuation
of the Ruhr, Marx said:
cit is essentnl-as far as we are
concerned--and it is closely united
with application of the experts
pla..
'We hope to sign the treaty to-
morrow, or at least by Friday morn
ilg, but this agreement issonly pre-
Emnary for future conferences be-
tween Germany and the allies sing
w."
The commercial treaty to, be con
sunmated with France, the chancel
lor said, is one of highest, import
ance, to both countries.
"If the comite des forges, which
represents the highest political fac
tor in France, is willing to come to
an agreement, the treaty will be one
of mutual reciprocity, he added.
Evades Question
Marx, however, evaded the ques-
tion of whether France would be
treated as Il most favored ma
ton He contented himself with
saying: "Germany never can grant
free entry of ore and potash into
the Ruhr, nor can she make too
great concessions in the matter of
delivering dyestuffs, etc.
The German loan, he said, will
be discussed Eat the next confer
ence' as he thinks the present con
clave will not treat the question.
Marx thinks the proposed loan to
Germany and the question of mu-
tual reduction of interallied debts
are closely combined and that the
best way to restoration and re-
in Europe would be for
the United States to relinauish
claims for sums borrowed by the
allies. ,-.,..
