EASY DIVORCE HIT
BY CHICAGO JUDGE
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, November 22-An edict
against easy divorce was pronounced
today by Judge Marcus A. Kavanaugh,
dean Of Chicago jurists, as he took
over his assignment as judge Of the
Divorce Court.
I'm hearing divorce cases I am 60
ing to make 1t a rule that the cause
must be proved, and residence here
established. Chicago should not have
her good name tarnished by fioaters
drifting into the city and pretending
residence to which they are not en-
titled"
"One Of the main reasons for the
throbbing unrest which lies behind
most separations IS want of g. home"
said the judge. There. are few di-
vorces among people who own their
homes.
To-day the strongest recollection
children have of their home is the
picture Of a moving van on May 1.
Three-fourths of the defendants in
criminal courts come from broken
homes, caused by death, desertion or
divorce"

hours of anxiety and peril, the sea
abated and the Aldworth got under

'PLAN VALUATION
|. OF GAS COMPANIES
Utilities Commission to Ask
$4,000 to Carry on Work.
Higher Rate Likely.

The Public Utilities Commission
will ask Congress at the forthcoming
session to appropriate $4,000 with
which to make an expert valuation
of the physical properties Of the
Washington Gas Light and George
town Gas Light companies, it was
learned today at the District Building.
The companies some time ago asked
the commission TO revalue their prop
erty, but the request was denied be-
cause of the lack of funds to employ
experts. Unless Congress grants the
appropriation. it was said, the COM
mission probably will make its own
valuation without the aid Of outside
experts on valuation.
The last valuation was MADE in
May, 1917, as of December 81, 1916.
At that time the valuation of the
Washington Gas Light Co. was placed
at $9,O97,S73, and the Georgetown
company at $829,000, making total
Of $9,926,873. Since that time the
companies have made number OF
extensions in their service and other
improvements which have added to
the valuation, according to attaches
Of the commission.
Higher Rates Foreseen.
A higher valuation probably will re-
suit In a slight increase in gas rates,
officials Of the commission point out.
A move toward higher gas rates was
made about a month ago, when the
board of directors of the washington
Gas Light Co. arbitrarily raised the
depreciation rate from 9 to IL cents.
This increase. If allowed, would add
approximately $160,000 a year to the
operating expenses OF the company,
accountants of the commission have
figured. and would provide the COM
pany with a sound argument for high
er gas rates.
The commission, however, through
it's executive secretary, Earl V. Fisher,
officially advised the company today
that II had erred" in increasing the
depreciation accrual, and that the 12-
cent rate would not be approved until
after an investigation determines that
it is justified.
The Public Utilities Commission
has given consideration to your let
ter dated October 80, 1926, wherein the
information is submitted that the
board OF directors Of your company
passed a resolution increasing the de-
probation accrual from to II cents
per THOUSAND cubic feet Of gas sold" !"
said the commissions letter.
Rules Company Erred.
"The commission is of the opinion
that your company erred in arbitra-
r-ily increasing the monthly set-up for
maintenance and general amortization
without first making formal applica-
ton TO this body.
THE commission stated in the last
paragraph of the second page Of its
order No. 37S, dated May 80, 1920.
that at that time it believed that no
injustice would be done your company
IL the accrual was made on the basis
of cents per 1000 cubic feet Of gas
sold. The commission believes that
the findings and opinions expressed
in this order are to be considered to-
gether.
You are therefore directed to mike
application to this commission for au-
thority to change the rate of accrual
for maintenance and general amorti-
zation and are directed to make no
change whatsoever in the rate until
such authority has been granted"

PRESIDENT WANTS
R|VERL|NESPUSHED
Urges Development as Fast
as Money Can Be Obtained.
Hoover Explains Plan.
By the Associated Press.

ST. LOUIS, November 22.-Presi-
dent Coolidge wants development Of
the Mississippi waterways for trans.
portatton purposes to go on as rapidly
as financial resources will permit. he
says In letter read today at the
convention Of the Mississippi Valley
Association.
The letter follows:
Much to my regret 1 find It impos
sible to accept your invitation to make
an address at the eighth annual con.
vention Of the Mississippi Valley AS.
sociation, to be held in st. Louis the
latter part Of this month. I cannot
refrain, however, from sending word
to emphasize my interest in the princi.
pal matter to be considered.
In my MESA ges to Congress have
expressed my opinion that the deyeI.
opment Of the waterways Of the Miss
iss1pp1 for transportation purposes Is
OF great importance to a large section
Of our country. I want this work TO
go on as rapidly as our financial re.
sources Will permit. To that end had
an additional item Of $10,0OO,000 put
into the present budget.
Association Great Aid.
Your association can be most help
full in crystallizing public sentiment
and In considering and suggesting the
best ways In which your waterways
may be improved so as to furnish the
maximum Of service to your people
and to the Nation at large"
A broader national policy toward
the development of the country's in.
land waterways and it's water re-.
sources generally. is now in course
Of PRONUNCIATION.
This was disclosed in a prepared
address today by Secretary Hoover,
here as the principal speaker of the
association program.
After sketching the possibilities
offered by creation Of a 12,OOO-mile
water transportation system through
the heart of the country by the
utilization of the Mississippi system,
the Great Lakes, and the projected
canal to the Atlantic, he touched upon
the controversies involving the latter
project with a plea for the exxpendi.
ture "of money on cement and steel.
rather than upon courts and political
agitation"
$120,000,000 More Needed.
Mr.. Hoover stressed that waterway
improvement tldu 10 D6 IAkcn uD as q
whole, because disconnected though
improved segments merely put up a
mo thoroughfare" sign against barges
and vessels fit to serve modern needs.
Engineering structures to maintain
the desireu levels of the Great Lakes
he declared to be entirely possible and
he estimated that unified program
for completing the opening Of the
Mississippi system would cost $780,.
100000 more than already has been
appropriated and could be attained
within five years.
Benefits to the whole Nation would
come, he asserted, in many ways, one
better distribution of population, since
relief from freight burdens would
check the tendency Of people to leave
the interior for the seaboard.
These are not new channels that
we have suddenly discovered" he said.
"On our rivers the nacket boats were
the pioneers of Western transporta.
ton. Our Great Lakes have become a
