STAFFORD REFUSES
PEPCO REHEAR|NG
Court Declines to Reopen
Valuation Case as Request
ed by U. S. Government.
Copr. 1926 IN. Y. World) Press Pub Co.

Justice Stafford yesterday refused
to reopen the Pepco valuation case.
This was settled, he held, in Decem-
Der, 1924. with Il consent decree by
which a $6,0OO,O0O impounded fund
was ordered divided between the COM
pany and the consumers.
The share due the public has been
returned. The case still remains on
the docket, but only for future orders
by the court, not for new decree,
Justice Stafford held.
The petition to reargue the case
was filed by the United States Gov
ernment and by Edwin w. Davis, a
private consumer of electricity. The
court lacked power to give away their
money to the company, the petition
ers claimed. The United States asked
$500 900 and Davis $39.
Company's Contention.
The company claimed that the In
terveners had no rights in the i'm
pounded fund except by virtue OF the
consent decree, as the attempted re-
ductiou in rates by the Public Utilities
Commission has never been in effect
and was permanently enjoined by the
court, leaving the old 10-cent rate
the only legal rate collectable by the
company. This would make the en-
tire impounded fund the property of
the company
Justice Stafford held that the con-
sent decree was final and that the
matter had passed out of the jurisdic-
ton of the court.
The decree" he said, 'is undoubt-
edly final. 1t provides that the case
shall be held on the docket only for
order to execute it, not to change it.
Reasons for Courts Action.
Several reasons insurmountable to
the allowance of either petition pre-.
sent themselves, but one is sufficient
That is. it is nearly two years since
the final decree was signed and filed.
I never heard of an application to in
tervene to alter such decree after
such a lapse of time, and l think no
precedent could be found in the
courts"
He intimated that if the counsel for
the United States thought the Gov
ernment was not bound by the decree
they were at liberty to take such
action as they saw fit.
But I am sure it has no right to
intervene" he added.

TAX SLASH BILL
. AWAITS 0KAY
Of MELLON
Expect Inheritance Clause
Will Bring Opposition
From Westerners.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 10
1P)-Despite agreement of Republi
cans and Democrats of the Senate
finance committee on the tax reduc
ton compromise bill, it awaited ap
proval today by the Treasury as wei
as some senator's.
Pending a study Of the exact extent
of reduction provided by the measure
Secretary Mellon is withholding defin
ite approval. He had asked that
reduction be limited to $3.50, 900, 00C
as provided in the House measure
but Chairman Smoot, of the finance
committee, estimates the bill now calls
for about $500, 000.O 600 reduction.
Repeal of the inheritance tax and
retroactive reduction on the Inherit
ance rates has caused definite indica-
tons of opposition from groups OF
Western senator's of both parties.
Overwhelming support for the meas
nrc, however, appears assured with
the compromise reached by the parties
and passage of the measure before
March Is. when first income tax in
stallments are due, is considered
likely.
The bill was in the hands of print
ers today but Chairman SmOot ex-
pressed doubt that he would be able
to present it to the Senate before
tomorrow, with consideration begin
ming near the end Of the week.

NEW YORK, June ll.-Cotton fu.
lures opened easy: July. 1895; Octo-
ber. 1856; December, 1850; January,
1850; March. 1868.
The selling movement. responsible
for the sharp break in the cotton
market yesterday afternoon, was re-
sumed at the opening today which
was easy at a decline Of to II points.
The market soon showed net losses OF
20 to % points on active positions,
October and all later deliveries max
ing new low records for the season.
Further liquidation came from tired
longs, together with Southern, local
and commission house selling on the
more optimistic view OF coming crop
~ prospects. while the bulk of the de-
mand was attributed to covering by
shorts. Combined with some price
fixing, however, 1t proved sufficient to
check the break around 1880 for July
and 1850 for October prices showing
rallies of two or three points from
the lowest at the end Of the first
hour.
Liverpool reported heavey liquida-
tion in the market there and said the
break in cotton was restricting busi-
ness in cotton goods.

Cows of the dairy herds are guarded
with constant care and are subjected
TO regular Inspections by veterinary
surgeons. Herds ARE carefully groOmed,
and their yards and barns nre kept
scrupulously clean, as are all utensils.
Milk cOndenserles are located In the
heart Of the big dairy regions to facili-
tate speedy handling, for this Is es-
sential II the milk is to be canned at
'its moment Of maturity" Canvas
covered trucks haul the milk to mar
ket, thus protecting the product from
contamination on the way. Arriving
ut the condensery, the milk goes
through tests for acldity, sediment,
flavor and butterfat content before It
Is accepted.
Experts watch the progress of the
milk through every step of Its way.
II goes Into the eyaporating machine {;
TO the homogeniZer, which breaks up
the fat globules so that the milk may
be easily dlgested by the consumer;
by way of the almost human filling
machine into sterillzcd cans then into
the sterIlIzer, where the cans are sur
rounded by steam and boiling water,
destroying any possible bacteria. In
spectors handle the product as the
last step to see that the canning job
has been perfectly done. Labelling
and packing follow. The housewife
obtains the milk as fresh and sweet as
when II came from the COW.
