Evening World Contention for
Change Borne Out by At
torney for Cmpany.
Prices to Consumer Would Be
Reduced if 22-Candle Stan
dard Is Abandoned.
By Sophie Irene Loeb.
'J'hiit New York City need not
rny $1.50 per thousand feet or
an such exorbitant gum for gas,
us is now being charged pending
tin' .Supremo Court decision, is
evident In the light of The Even
ing World's Investigation.
By changing the gas standard
f om a 22-candlo power to a Brit
ish thermal unit standard, which
ii. o- not impair the efficiency, a
drop in prices could be secured,
and dmibtless all the court cases
eliminated.
As explained in these columns,
the gas oil is one of the chief clo
nic nf- tnut goes to making tho
'"gf puce of gas. To inaKo t' o
letont requirement of U2-c.mdlo
newer, winch includes an approv-im-iie
average of I'.oQ H. T, U
ri .Uir a about 4 1-10 gallons of
gas oil per thousand cubic feet.
To make, say, a 32S British thei
niJT un i gas would require only
three gallons of gas oil.
The Consolidated (Jus System
mono lost your used 140,000,000
gallons of gas oil to fhako 37,000.
ooo.ouo reet of gas, approximately.
This would mean a saving of
over $5,000,000 in gas oil alone,
at tho present rate of 12 1-4 cents
imr gallon, which the Consoli
dated is now paying.
As Is generally known, the
price of the gas oil has dropped
since this contract was made by
the Consolidated Company for gas
oil, but the gas corporations have
one way out of this contract, and
could avail themselves of a
cheaper gas oil.
How?
In tho frame way suggested tiy
Tho Kvenlng World changing
toe standard of gnu from candle
power leipilicmrnt to Hritish
thermal unit measurement.
According to the statement of
William L. Hansom, Counsel for
the Consolidated Gas Company,
made only last month, tho fol
lowing slgnillcant statement
gives assurance that It could be
done :
"Th Consolidated Gas Com
pany has made but a six months'
i
contract at 12' 'z cents for 70,000,
000 gallons with a provision that
if the New York authorities adopt
, B. T. U. standard, that this
would be immediately reflected
in a reduction in the contract
quantity of oil that the fjas com
pany need be bound to take.
"Thus, if the 525 B. T. U.
standard were at once adapted,
such as Connecticut, Massachu
setts and Philadelphia now enjoy,
at least a gallon less of oil per
thousand cubic feet of gas would
ba required and this would be
nearly 12 cents saving from the
present figure of $1.50."
Another significant statement
made by Mr. Hansom about the
name tune, showing that rcdue
f ns eun he made and that this
high contract can be changed If
now standards mo adopted, is us
follows:
"At the piesent time a late of
t.30 will do no more than pay
actual operating expenses and a
return of nut more than 7 per
cent, on the actual investment at
computed by the court.
The rate at present fixed by
the company will, accordingly, be
$150. This rate will be dec-reuse
when and as the operat
ing costs decline. The company
frankly doeH not expect to de
. .-ease the rates of pay to Its cm
o'oyees. If the cost of gas oil,
generator coal and gas coal
comes down, decrease In this rate
will be promptly made."
The counsel for the corporation
t plaius the making of this 12 1-4
cents per gallon contract as fol
' lows:
"Counsel for rome of the de
fendants have tried In tho public
pies-s to fasten responsibility for
t'us increased cost of gas upon
tills company's present contract
for gas oil, which is at the rate
of 12 1-4 cents per gallon.
"This explanation does not ex
plain. In 1920. down to the mid
dle of December, this company
paid only 7.1 cents per gallon for
Its gas oil. whereas other com
panies were paying 12 1-2 cents
to 15 cents per gallon."
But the counsel adds:
"The company has said many
times on the record in court, and
now repeats: It does not wish to
pay more for gas oil than is
necessary to secure nood quality
and certainty of supply."

John Knight, one of the plumbers
serving a term in the penitentiary
to ue the Hettrick "code of practice"

from Justice On vegan In the Su

Justice Ciavegan said that the con

act of the Atorney General In con
stituting himself as a Magistrate to
conduct an examination before trial
nt which Knight did not have tho

grounds for the appeal, though he Is
I doubtful of Its success. Tho action

said, Involved tho question as to
whether Knight's rights wero in

but to grant the certificate, he said,

once offered to settle their troublrs
privately. It was about two yiars
ogn. and one version Is that he was
w Ulng to pay her $1,500 n mon li
and to settle one-third of Ins prop- ,
erty on the children.
Mrs Hfokrs In reported to 'uo
been willing to have n separation
but not a dl voice, but was iinw ilinR 1
t agree to tho amount of mom y
specified. Martin W. Littleton, Mrs
Stokes's counsel, Is author ty foi iho
rtiitcment thut Mr. Stokes has now
arranged to leave a $10,000,000 estlue
to young "Waddle," his son by n pio-
vious inarrlugo. Mr. Htokcs said of
the attempted settlement:
"I offered her everything money,
Iho custody of our two children I
wunlcd to havo her suu mo for dl
virce, u secret proceeding, to spuro
her from all this publicity, llut she
tricked me."
Krom Mrs. Slokes's camp the story
goes that she was given twenty-four,
hours' notice tu ugreo to suo her bus-1
hand for a divorce. In return ho
i.irercd to continue the present nll-
ninny of $1,500 a month, grant her
I he custody of tho children and pro-
i
ht for their cniu.
Hcluctunt at llrst to discuss what
clcserlbed as an "abortlvu tit-
mpt," Mr. Littleton mid of .Mis.
tokes part in tne negoiiaiions.
lu-Kn urn ut-t sliortly after the nilll-
um.iiie's charges were revealed pub
licly. What follows is Ills story of
the affair:
Ilefore the suit camo to tllal Ml'
Stokes, through his lawyers, au
thorized a seiii-ti r conferences to
determine the most feiusiblo manner
of clouding the dltllcultlcs of tho
SUikeses from tho general public. Mr.
Stokes's lawyers urged the wlfo o
Institute divorce proceedings uulell.
Finally, after da of dispute, the
millionaire uttered Ills ultimatum if
agreement to this proponal In twenty
four hours.
"Mrs. Htokes does not believe In
divorce and told mo so," said Mr.
Littleton. "That twenty-four hours'
notice did not disturb her and her
answer ns an emphatic 'No!'
"Mr. Stokes was an uncertain fig
ure In tho settlement proceedings.
Wo did not know Just where he stood i
und that notice of his antagonized
Mis. Stokes. Her demand was that!
ho issue a signed stntemcnt to tho
public retracting hiB charges. Then (
she would consider nn amicable set
tlement." I
When the negotiations reached th s
stage they were dropped by common
raiwnnl. Mr Htokes gathered his
evidence. Mrs. Stokes hers, und their
loprrsenianves ciumi'ii iut un wijuii,.
"Katlier than give up my children
i to him, I would have them die, al
though I love them more man any
thing else on ennth."
Francis Wellman, counsel for M.
Stokes, deser.bed the proposed settle
ment as "liberal," although ho woulu
not disclose the exact aiimuni orierrii
"All this publicity could have been Av..ntll) lltl(l ivorl Street. Ilrooklyn,
avoided, nnd my client dcsl-cd to,A"m"-
avoid it." Haul Mr. Wellman, "If Mrs. 1 ami trlod to forco Mrs. .lennlo I'ow-
Ktnkon had not refused our offer. It
was purely a question of money with
her. My client was anxious not to
subject her to the ordeal of tho op" n
court, and the attendant publicity,
lint Mrs. Stokes was obdurate."
Replying to this, Mr. Littleton said
money did not enter Into Mrs. Stokes's
rejection of the olfcr. He continued:
"Mrs. Stokes has enough to live on
sunplv in HinviT, and .she is nut a
woman addicted tb luxury. Sho did
w.int to piiivulc for her children."
Mr Stokes has placid his real es-tali-
