By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 1S.-Gsn. Charles
G. Dawes, American Ambassador 10

down pipe commented tersely on various
subjects.
About Chicago:
Chicago doesn't need any defense.

About Chicago crime and his taxing

Just watch it grow"
About the naval treaty:

be. The delegates at the conference

town Gas Light Co., which is wholly
owned by the Washington company.
This bill has come up for action five
times in the Senate and each time it
has gone over by request either Of Sen
ator Howell, Republican, of Nebraska,
or OF Senator La Toilette. Republican,
of Wisconsin.
The opinion at the District Building
Is that If the bill does not pass, there
will be nothing before the commission
to consider. Assuming that it passes,
then the commission must hold pub
lie hearing before adopting any changed
"ates. This will probably be a some
what lengthy proceeding, and If any
lowered rates are put into effect, they
are not expected until late Fall.
An intensive study Of the actual effect
OF the new schedule of gas rates was
started today by Peoples Counsel Rich
n1ond B. Keech In preparation for the
public hearing.
Keech's first move was to ask the
utilities commission for all data relat-
ing to rates and consumption which will
be helpful in his study. He specifically
requested figures showing the amount
OF gas consumed by gas consumers and
tables showing q division of customers
accordlng to the quantity Of gas con-
sumed.
keech has made only a cursory ex-
animation Of the new schedule and
declined to express his views as to
the probable effect on the bills of gas
consumers pending completion Of the
study he has undertaken. He indicated,
however, that he particularly did not
look with favor at this time on the
nxed tn charge for meters as proposed in
The fixed service charge is puzzling
keech. 1t would be an innovation in
washington, he said. and its introduc-
tlon probably would not meet with the
approval OF the consumers. Moreover
ne believes the so cents proposed by the
gas company Is higher than reasonable
IN tnat 1t probably would be in excess
OF the cost OF the meters plus the main
tenance and inspection overhead. If the
service charge is approved, he said, it
should be based only on the actual cost
OF the meters and the maintenance and
inspection overhead.
Meters, according to Keech, cost
ABOUT So. Their life Is considerable
longer than five years. Assuming that
tne meter would be replaced at the end
OF nve years, he declared, the gas COM
pany would have recovered under the so
cents service charge, total Of $36. In
spection and maintenance would prob
ably absorb some of this return, he ex-
planned, but 1t would not likely amount
to S2S, which would be the balance
after the cost of the meter Is deducted.
The service charge is one of the fac
tors in the new schedule which Keech
proposes to 60 into thoroughly. He ex-
poets to have figures to present to the
commission at the hearing showing ex-
actly the effect of the service charge on
the bills Of the consumers, as we'll as It's
effect on the income Of the gas COM

NEW YORK, June 18.-The liner
President Roosevelt of the United
States Lines went aground in the mud
and silt Of Robbins Reef, in New York
Harbor, this morning, but tugs pulled
her loose in less than two hours and
she continued to her pier. In the maze

her nose into the reef, which lies about
3 miles south of the lower tip of Man
haitian, at 1908 am. She was floated
at 1855 am
On board the liner, inbound from
Southampton and Cherbourg, were 252
Gold Star Mothers, mostly from the
Pacific Coast, returning from a pilgrim
age to the battlefields of France. Capt.
Theodore van Beck was in command.
