from the Acme plant?' The two
policemen nodded. Montague turned
to Jean with fatherly smile,
This is Miss Jean Dunn, who
works in my office" he said. Miss
Dunn, will you please tell these
gentlemen what you did Friday aft
ernoon?"
Jean looked at the noncommittal
faces of Thomas and Hagan, felt a
little wave of nervousness, swal-
lowed hard, and then spoke:
Some one came to see Mr.. Mon
tague little after that afternoon. y
she said. and Mr.. Montague told
me that I could have the rest Of
the day off. So I started to go
home, and downstairs in the lobby
I met Mr.. Harkins. We got into his
car and drove out to a place on the
Grand River and rented a canoe. We
padded up the river for a while,
and then drifted back. 1t was get
ting on toward dusk when we got
back to the boathouSe. Then we
had dinner at a little restaurant
there, and after that Mr.. Harkins
drove me home. We got home about

She was SO obviously an intelligent

were visibly impressed.
This was last Friday?" asked
Sergeant Hagan. She hesitated
briefly, then nodded. yes" she
said.
Just to be on the safe side"
said Mr.. Montague smoothly, I've
brought in Mr.. Stout
THE nondeScript man who had
followed them into the office
looked up. Jean suddenly recog-
nized him as the owner of the
Grand River boathouse, from whom
they had rented their canoe.
Have you seen these persons be-
fore, Mr.. Stout?" asked Mr.. Mon
tague.
The boat man nodded.
Last Friday, about 3 o'clock or
a little after, they came and rented
canoe" he said They went up
river in it, and didn't get back I'M

lawyer.
The man nodded.
How far would you say your
boathouse is from that plant?"

gas is unlike electricity.
It Is found In limited fields and
cannot be generated like electricity
everywhere. One line between the
Texas fields to Minneapolis is approx
mately 1000 miles in length. Natural
gas service has been offered and
used by IS States in 1888 that did
not use 1t in 1925 and replaced manu-
factured gas in communities with a
combined population of 100000
people. The control of the gas
industry does not have to be at the
point of production, but it can be
controlled through the ownership Of
pipe lines that transport gas. Sixteen
per cent of the total production Of
gas was interstate. The four holding
companies that control this inter-
state movement are the Cities Serv-
ice, Electric Power g. Light and the
Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey,
also the Columbia Gas g. Electric.
Eleven holding companies control 76
per cent of the total pipe line mileage

Let us turn now to the natural-gas
industry. In 1888, 100000, 100000
cubic feet, with a gross revenue Of ap-
proximately $375,000,o0o, were distrib-
uted. Ten years ago the domestic ana
commercial consumers covered $780,
900 users, as compared to 7,166,000
in 1893. The rise Of domestic and
commercial consumers has been steady.
Although the domestic consumer used
but between one-fourth and one-fifth
of the total amount of gas produced,
they contributed S250,000,000 of the
$3.50, 900 900 received by the gas indus
try. 1t Is used in heating, lighting
and refrigeration. A rapid increase in
the revenue per thousand cubic feet
and the rate to domestic consumers
has been noticed.
Pipe Lines Developed Industry.
This has come about by the Ge-
velopment of large pipe lines. To

COL. A. T. WILLIAMS.
CUSTER ORDERED.
President Approves Guilty
Verdict and Sets Dis
missaI for August II.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt today approved
the court martial verdict of guilty
against Brig. Gen. Alexander E. Will
liams, former assistant quartermaster
general of the Army. and ordered him
dismissed from the service effective
August II.
Williams, who holds the permanent
rank of colonel. was found guilty on
May % Of having solicited and OBJ
tanned a loan from Frank Speicer. an
automobile tube salesman. while he
was assistant to the quartermaster
general in charge of the transporta-
ton division.
The court-martial recommended
that Williams be dismissed.
Dern Ordered Probe.
The charges were preferred as re-
suit of an investigation by the in
spector general of the Army at the
direction of Secretary Dern. They
revolved around numerous allegations
of lobbying activities in tie War De-
partment by representatives of auto
mobile and other concerns.
A native of Linden, N. c., Williams
was graduated from West Point in
1898.
Williams was found guilty of $50
licittng and obtaining loan of 50 2.500'
from Spicer in connection with War
Department contracts and of giving
false testimony by denying the loan
before a House Committee.
An Army court-martial has no dis
cretion except to recommend dismis
sal if an officer is found guilty of the
charges preferred against him.
The President has discretion in
committing any recommended SEN
tence. But. despite recommendations
by members of the court that he
exercise clemency in Williams case,
he failed to do so.
Not Eligible for Pay.
Williams is not eligible to draw re-
tired pay, which. after more than 80
years service. would have amounted
to three-fourths of his base pay of
$4,000 yearly.
In announcing the court-martial
verdict, the War Department said
Williams knew the Representative of
an automobile tire concern was at
tempting to favorably interest him in
his tube in order to secure War De-
partment contracts"
Williams was awarded the Distin-
guished Service Medal for exception
ally meritorious and distinguished
services in France and also the Silver
Star for gallantry in action against
the Spanish forces at Santiago, Cuba,
