that such q course would be advanta-
reo1is TO the public and the utility con-
Germ. and that the arrangement would
be tust and reasonable, and in accord
with the purposes of the public utility
act. The court, therefore, Is not nee

there would be removed from the Pic
t1lre the so-called consent decree. and
the two old causes of action on which
the decree was based.
In view Of the substantial period
Of time which has elapsed since the
matters involved in the before-men-
toned suits were contaminated, a con-
tinuAtion Of them Is impracticable. In
short, the adoption Of the bilateral ar
raneement mentioned would mean a
preservation of the thing which has
Injured, IN the opinion Of some, to both
the public and the utility, and at the
same time return TO the commission,
If it ever has been removed, its func-
ton as q rate-making body, thus rem
dering the commission able to adjust
rates, when need therefor be found
without being hampered by having To
go to court, with its incidental delay.
will not remove, in my opinion, the
most serious objection TO the present
situation in that 1t would, under the
construction placed by your body, con-
tinue you impotent, situation which
is to my mind clearly not contemplated
by the public utility act.
Further, a mere modification Of the
consent decree would possibly put the
commission in the anomalous position
In which 1t found itself on December
81, 1880, Of declaring that the rate of
return realized by the company was ex-
ceSsive and unreasonable, but under
your construction Of the consent de-
cree unable TO do anything about it.
Likewise, 10 modify the decree, would
of course, do nothing TO remedy the
situation and would, in effect, be a re-
saddling of itself with an obstacle
which would prevent 1t from giving To
the public that which the act intended
namely, Just, reasonable and non-dis-
criminatory rates. In fact, the COM
mission would be even in a worse posi-
ton under modification OF the decree
for the reason that II would then be-
come its own, rather than an inherited
obstruction
II the commission believes that my
understanding OF the conference Is not
in all particulars accurate, and that
the power company could reasonably
have gotten the impression chat IL
purpose was merely to seek a modifica-
ton Of the present terms of the consent
decree. l would appreciate 1t II tbs
commission would take steps TO acQuain
the company with the fact that I an
opposed TO such @ course. Or II thG
commission prefer. advise me so that
may acquaint the company with m,
view. The purpose of what has gont
before is To prevent any possible mis-
understanding as TO my position"

uscripts was pirated by the comedi-
ans film corporation.
The suit was filed two years ago

manuscript to the comedian on his
studio March 8, 1919, and that the
story was accepted for examination,
but was later rejected

Chaplin and his film corporation

Circus" and that the comedy was
based in major parts upon her Or
iginal manuscript as submitted to
them in 1919. She alleged her
ideas were original with her and
that Chaplin and his studio had

stroyed.
Several persons were injured here
when houses collapsed in the poorer
districts of the city. Telegraphic re-
ports from points as far distant as
Merida. capital of Yucatan, in the
extreme southeastern section of the
country, indicated that a strong
quake was felt throughout most OF
the republic.
The disturbance was felt at Tam
pico, where several railroad cars
we're thrown into collision. Mate
rial damage was light
The quake disrupted Mexico Citys
electric light system, throwing the
entire city into darkness.
