BLOCK GAS co.
STOCK SALE AT
LESS THAN PAR
Public Service Commission
Rules Against Any
Lower Price.

Under no circumstances" shall
the Citizens Gas Company sell its
100000 five and half per cent
preferred stock issue at less than
par That was the ruling today of
the Public Service Commission.
Authority was given the utility to
issue and sell the stock, but the re-
striction requiring that par or bet
ter be received for it was made en-
phatic.
The company intends to use the
issue in retiring the present 81 ,000,-
600 issue, bearing z per cent.
BaSing its order on the fact that
it learned at a hearing Thursday
That investment security brokers
were willing to pay more than par
for the issue, the commissions ac-
ton rendered null a tentative con-
tract by which the utility had agreed
to sell the issue to the Union Trust
Company at 81.
The order stipulated that the gas
company receive sealed bids from
all persons desiring to make offers
for purchase of the securities" and
that it report to the commission all
bids received, specifying in particu-
lar the bids of any persons or per-
sons, company or companies, which
may be accepted"
The order becomes effective upon
payment to the commission of 81. 500
the fee for issuance of the secur-
tiles.
Commissioner Howell Ellis con-
Quoted Thursdays hearing, when
Gavin L. Payne and Newton Todd
local investment brokers. complained
vigorously that they had not been
given chance in the bidding and
offered to post $4,000 as a guaran-
tee that they would bid par or high
er if sealed competitive bids were
entertained.
Apparent effort of the gas COM
pany to keep Payne out of the bid
ding generally was interpreted as a
continuation Of the utility's fight to
keep out of the hands of the H. w.
BylleSby e. Co., eastern utility op-
orators.
Payne had acted as their agents.
it was said, in previous efforts to
obtain controlling interest in the
gas companys common stock.

CONFESSION IN
SACK MURDER
is EXPECTED
Doctor GriIIed "a Hours
Asks to See EStranged
Wife; Promises Story

Pu United Press
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 81
Authorities today hoped for an
early confession as to the murder
of Mrs. Amelia Appleby. widow OF
a Chicago inventor.
Their hope was based on the
statement of DR.. Charles Mcmillan,
81. who after twenty-four hours of
continuous questioning said he
would have a different story to
tell if they first permitted him to
see his sstranged wife. The re-
quest is to be granted today.
IN the face of evidence consid-
cred by authorities as convincing
proof of his guilt" DR.. Mcmillan
steadfaStly repeated:
II did not kill her. ! did not
kill her"
Taken to the spot on a lonely road
near San Sernando where Mrs.
Applebys body was found. sewed
up in a canvas sack. Mcmillan
looked around carefully and said:
II know nothing about this place
or how she died"
Promises Different Story
He was, shown a pair Of shoes
which had belonged to Mrs. Apple
by and which were found in his
apartment. He was told that Mrs.
Appleby's body when found, was
without shoes. He was shown a pair
of the woman's gloves.
He was questioned about the
woman's will which he had drawn
up and which left her entire estate
to him. He was shown his own
shoes and other clothing which bore
bloodStains.
To all of these he merely shook his
head and repeated:
II did not kill her"
But. finally, according to authori-
ties, he appealed almost frantically
for chance to see his estranged
wife. asserting that after the inter-
view he would have a different
story to tell"
And so authorities decided to grant
the request some time today in hope
a confession will follow.
Message From Florida
Late last night police received a
message from Sebring, Fla, which
read; please hold body of Mrs.
Appleby and all personal property
until the arrival of Thomas S.
West" 1t was signed, "T. S. West"
1t is not known here who West may
DE or what connection he may have
With Mrs. Appleby or Mcmillan.
Neighbors of Mrs. Appleby, who
declared she had disappeared Dec.
%, said the doctor and woman had
lived in the same house here for
some time. A violent quarrel was
said by the neighbors to have pre-
coded her disappearance.
