8 Counts Against
New Schedule

A petition for a rehearing be-
fore the state public service COM
of the citys demand for
a reduction in rates of the Mich
igan Consolidated Gas Company
was filed in Lansing today by
Prosecutor William +. Bowling.
In his appeal from the new rate
schedule approved by the CurnHT1S-
sion last week. Prosecutor Dow
ling charged that the new ADJUST
ments in gas rates. which reduced
rates for some gas users while
raising them for others, was
against the weight of the COM
missions own findings.
Prosecutor Bowling listed the
following eight reasons why a re-
hearing should be ordered:
THE commission refuses to
Il consider cross petition by
Wayne County in which redHc-
tion Of rates was asked.
O-The commission refused 10
- make any report on the
findings of the present rate
base (before the new order was
issgedl- on the probable revenue
! yielded: the reasonable and
! proper costs and expenses on the
rendition of the service and the
proper rate of return TO be
allowed.
0-The new order is unreason-
- ableA unlawful and arbitrary
in that it purports to be predi-
Gated on previous and outdated
and obsolete findings of the
commission.
THAT the commission in re-
Il lying on its findings of Nov.
Is. 1910, acted unreasonably and
arbitrarily in that was not en-
titled 10 do so in the absence or
evidence showing unchanged
conditions; that, in fact. the
evidence showed substantial
changes in conditions.
That the commission unrea-
- sonably. unlawfully and ar
bitrarily purported to rely on its
/ findings of Nov. -. 1910. but
arbitrarily neglected 10 enforce
and apply the said findings in
the substantial instances and
occasions when they operated
against the interest OF the gas
company. (Dowling points out
that it is the contention of the
city that he gas company, Ivy
h wing expensive standby
equipment TO be used in case
of emergencies when the supply
Of natural gas is cut off. is de-
priving gas users of the benefits
of the lower rates which natural
gas should bring.)

FINDINGs SOL ENFORCED

That the commission further
" neglected to enforce against
the company its own previous
findings and has allowed the

counting and collection expense

THE commission fixed rates
upon a Nolumctric basis IN
q wholly unreasonable and arbi-
trary manner which permits the
gas company 10 pump through

of gaseous substance regardless
of us heating effectiveness or
calorihc value.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Mar.
3-Babe Dahlgren's sale to the
Boston Bees suddenly gives John
Jeter Joseph Sturm q position Of
importance in the Yankees
camp.
Johnny Sturm is at the mo-
ment the only out-and -out candi-
date for the first basing job.
But those closest to the situa-
ton doubt that Sturm, 25-year-
old son of a German emigrant,
will be at LOU Gehrig's old sta
ton when the first shot is fired,
or for any length of time thereaf-
ter.
Sturm has the physical advan-
tage a left-hander enjoys at the
post and fields well neough, but
does not hit the long ball de-
manded of q Yankee first sack
err. Ellsworth Dahlgren hit the
long ball, but didn't hit it often
enough.
With Gerald Priddy and Phil
Rizzuto, who established a doub-
lie play record in Kansas City
with 1885,. making a determined
bid to remain q second base COM
bination, Joe Gordon is left free
for duty elsewhere, and don't be
surprised if the flying Oregonian
winds up at first base.

His tonsils removed, and poi
son out of his system, Red Rolfe

mite signs of the illness which
