ENGINEER HITS
insult DEFENSE
OF THERM PLAN
Evansville Succeeding With
Cubic Foot Measurement
of Natural Gas.

Arguments of Robert M. Feustel,
~. Wayne, insults Indiana chief
tam, tavoring retention of the
tnerm system of gas billing, we're
handicapped somewhat today by a
witness who preceded him on the
stand at the continued hearing be-
lore public service commissioners.
Inc witness was William J. Gun
Jher, commission ace in the therm
PROBE ordered by the regulatory
pody Since testifying last week,
Cunther had made a trip to Evans
vile. Today's testimony dealt with
his fin lings there.
Feustels contention is that It is
unjust both to Consumer and pro-
oucer to measure natural gas by
the cubic foot method.
But Gunther found that Evans
vile offered the one laboratory
where natural gas is being meter
lied under the old cubic foot meth
od and the rates which formerly
applied to artificial gas are being
retained, with only temporary in
jury to revenues.
Overcoming Difficulties
He told Of the eleven-month ex-
perience Of this experiment carried
on by the Southern Indiana Gas
and Electric Company, a nonlInsull
utility.
Cubic foot consumption had
dropped about 301 per cent with
the natural gas, but at least 5 per
cent of this drop he attributed to
loss of customers due to the de-
preston.
Much Of the other loss he attrib-
uted to the adjustment period re-
quired TO get appliances to function
properly on the natural gas with it's
higher heat units. He cited the
fact that 10000 stove pilot lights
failed to function and lost $4,000
for the company.
Termed Scientific Method
J Conclusions arrived at by the
commission witness was that in
creased usage of natural gas will
bring the cubic foot total. to about
the same with artificial gas and
there will be little or no loss to
the company.
The Southern Indiana Gas and
Electric Company lost about $11 900
on the switch from artificial to
natural gas, but is not clamoring
for adoption of the therm system
OF measurement, he testified.
Feustel defended the therm as the
scientific way to measure actual
heat consumption and pass on
savings in natural gas to the con-
sumner.
Commissioner Howell Ellis is pre-
siding in the case. 1t appears the
therm is slated to lose.

boat, Killing Racer-one
Craft in Flames.

The Wild plunge Of q wave-tossed
Presidents Cup racer. which cost the
life Of William Freitag, veteran New
Jersey. boatman, brought to q tragic
climax yesterday afternoon on the
Anacostia River two days OF the most
spectacular marine racing competition
Of the year.
The afternoon was damned with
thrills for throngs estimated by police
st more than $4,000 which crowded
vantage points along the shores Of the
stream.
Only a few moments before Freitag's
fatal plunge, one Of the racers pulled
on the course in flames, while the pi-
lots wife, at the wheel Of another
racer, dashed by him to win second
place.
In one OF the races following the
fatal accident further loss of life was
averted by q margin Of inches, when
o tiny cupboard racer capsized, rolling
over like foot ball in front Of half
dozen other racers, and was struck
and completely run over by a second
boat. The pilot, Al J. Nagel, wildwood,

was thrown clear a split second before
the boat of H. A. Grimes Of Washing

Freitag's death cast a pail over the
crowds and his fellow pilots, and re-
suited In cancellation Of the third heat
of the race for the Presidents Cup,
which was awarded to Fl Largarto,

has refused to give any intimation as

The department is Of the opinion
that its jurisdiction ends when 1t has
presented to the grand jury criminal
evidence gathered in the inquiry and to

even Of intimidation Of children by
pouring gasoline on their clothes and
