N.S0.-Mrs. Finley j. Shepard

was noted for her various phil
anthropies, died at the age of 70
at her Roxbury summer home to-

PLAN TO MILK
VIRGINIA power
FIRM CHARGED
Citizens Committee to
Fight Associated Gas

Anew and far more bitter power
fight than northern Virginia has
seen in the past loomed today as
q group of interested citizens
Joined hands for a showdown with
the Associated Gas g. Electric
Company, of New York, which
they declare is now making plans
for another attempt to milk" the
Virginia Public Service Company.
Members of this citizens com
mittee, which includes many attor-
neys and prominent residents of
Arlington and Alexandria, Va,
said today they have information
that the New York holding COM
pany is preparing to drain the cof-
fers of the Virginia Public Service
Company by compelling it to en-
large its Alexandria power produc-
tion facilities.
INDIRECT APPROACH
Associated Gas and Electric
controls the Virginia utility
through ownership of its common
stock. the citizens group points
out, and since the State corpora
tion commission has prohibited
the parent concern from taking
common stock dividends from the
Virginia company until 1910, it
hopes to tap the same resources
indirectly by enlarging the Alex
andria plant through company
owned building and engineering
companies at excessive cost.
To support their contentious,
the committee points to a letter
sent stockholders recently, telling
them that dividends on the 6 and
z per cent preferred stock had
been omitted and that the funds
would be used to enlarge produc-
tion facilities.
WOULD BUY POWER
Members of the committee said
they realized the possible need for
additional power in the rapid
growing Observation-Disclosures area,
but proposed instead of enlarging
production facilities that the par
ent holding corporation permit the
Virginia company to buy its
needed power from the Potomac
Edison Company of Millville, w.
Va.
Power already being brought
into Alexandria by tielineS from
Richmond and Charlottesville
could be brought from the Mill
vile, w. Va, site through con-
struction of tieline approximate
ly so miles in length. While this
would cost several hundred thou
sand dollars. it would be only
about one-fifth Of the proposed
plant expenditure.
F. A. Silcox, chief Of U. s. For
estry Service, speaking for the
committee, said today:
I'VE expect to leave no stone
unturned to defeat this New
York outfit in this unfair move"
PLENTY OF LEGAL TALENT
Identified with the group are
Col. Charles Beatty Moore, Will
liam A. F.. Stephenson, special as
sistant to Public Works Admins
traitor Harold Ickes; VILLA m
Cloth, John Locke Green and
Emery N. Hosmer, Arlington

NEW YORK, Nov 26.-One New York City hotel offers accommoda- tion insurance, without cost, to 1859 Worlds fair visitors.
 Any visitor to the fair will be as- sured of free meals and lodging in the event that any failure in trans portation facilities, due to road washouts, etc, make it necessary for the visitor to stay over in New York longer than originally intended.
