PROMINANT MEMBER OF PUBLIC
SERVICE COMMISSION IN
CITY YESTERDAY
Commission Powerless to Act on Gas
Rates at Present Time ? Manu
facturer6' Company Takes
An Impossible Position
Judge E. P. Morgan, on? of the
members of the Public Service Com
mission. was in the city yesterday on
business connected with the Public
Service Commission. .Residents ot
ATetz, Marion couuty. have made ap
plication to require the B. & O. K. K.
to improve the depot facilities anti
t heir train service. Judge Morgan was
here to take evidence as to the nec
essity for this improvement.
Judge Morzan was appointed to the
Public Service Commission about a
year ago. and has given to the com
mission a great deal of vfrv valu
able time and hard work. Before be
coming a member of the commission
be was judge of the Intermediate
Court of Marion county, and was one
of the most popular officials in that 1
county.
"li seems that it is impossible for j
the Public Service Commission to do j
anything relative to the gas rates at i
the present time, largely on account 1
of the position taken by the Manu- j
facturers' Light & Heat Company. I
? While I have no desire to impugn the j
! motives of any one, it seems to me |
rhat the attorneys or offfFlcials of that j
company do not want to have an ad- j
justment of the gas rates, so mucb I
| as they want to influence the crim- J
jinal case now pending In the Kanaw-J
i ha county court. The Firbltc Service j
I Commission has intimated very j
i strongly that It is willing to have a :
| rehearing of the gas rates if the gas !
! company so desires, and it is ?willing
1 ;o facilitate an understanding between !
; the gas company and Its customers
| if they so desire, but so far all sug
j sestions of this kind have met with j
| an unfavorable response. I think I
I can say without violating any con
: fidenc-G or propriety that the mem- (
j bers of the commislon realize gen^r
'ally that the manufacturing conditions ;
j have widely changed during the past j
' two years, and the rates which might i
| have seemed adequate two years ago
?
;
In all fiduciary matters it is
safer to trust to the joint re
sponsibility of an organization
like this, than to that of any
single individual.

'may not be adequaate new. In view of
j the shortage of gas last year, it was
j of course the earnest desire of all
! concerned that whatever steps were
necessary to increase the gas supply
should be taken, and members of tho
Public Service Commission will be
[very glad If they can be of any ser
vice in insuring an increase in the
gas supply "at satisfactory rates."
Judge Morgan left for Charleston
! last evening.

FORMER GOVERNOR OF STATS I
CLAIMS REPUBLICAN PROS
PECTS ARE BRIGHT.
Declares Opposition in the Southern;
Section of West Virginia Is
Disappearing Rapidly.
"Huahos will be elected beyond any
ivasomibhi doubt," .?aid former Gov.
George Wesley Atkinson to an Intel
ligencer representative yesterday aft
ernoon, upon his arrival at the Me
Luri- hotel from central counties
where he has been "stumping" on
behalf of l he Republican ticket 1n
West Virginia. "I feel sure that Mr.
Hughes will carry West Virginia aDd
1 expect that Robinson will be our
next governor, although there has
been some opposition in the southern
part of the slate," he contlnue.d.
"1 find harmony in the state and
national tickets except, in several of
the counties in the extreme southern
part of West Virginia, but I am
pleased to lenrn that conditions there
:ire improving to a great degree," the
former governor further said. Gov.
Atkinson has been conducting an active
campaign during the past few week*,
and despite his age still retains the
excellent gift of oratory that made
him famous in his earlier years.
Governor Atkinson is a former resi
dent of this city, and was the recipient
of a cordial reception upon his ar
rival. When g.sked regarding the con
stitutional amendment granting the
right of suffrage to the women of
West Virginia, Governor Atkinson
said: "I am going to vote for it. I
do not see any sense of prolonging It,
it is sure to come some day."
