Long, representing the Louisiana Public Service commission, oil the petition of the Southwestern lias and tElectric company, requesting higher tariffs for both industrial and domestic consumption in Shreveport. The announcement of the commissioner segregated the two issues, industrial and domestic gas rates. The opinion of Commissioner Long follows: "The gas case is now, as I view the question, settled down to a controversy, (if any there exists), between the manufacturing and industrial corporations and the gas companies. So far these corporations have said nothing.

It has been clearly admitted by the gas companies that they can transport gas into the city of Shreveport at a price below twenty-five cents per thousand. Such being the case, I am compelled to adopt the position of some of Shreveport's leading citizens who are backed by the City of Bossier and the laboring people of Shreveport that, if there is any rate raise, it should be borne by the corporations who have heretofore enjoyed an immensely low rate. some point just within the city limits and released.

Before Shakespeare's time Henry the Eighth was taking property belonging to Catholics in England. The pope had refused to give him the divorce he wanted, A little later Catholics were burned, hanged snd hunted in England, and to say "Papist" was like saying "mad dog," only worse. Later the burning and hanging stopped, but a Catholic could not be a member of parliament.

Even to this day no member of the British royal family could legally marry a Catholic. But on Thursday King George telegraphed to the pope: "I thank your holiness for the warm message which afforded me sincero gratification." The pope had congratulated the king on giving freedom to Ireland. (Br Catrereal Bervlee.) Washington, Jan. 13. Four features of the day's deliberations of the armaments conference aland out tonight.

The fight now narrows down to whether there shall or shall Pot be a raise on the gas used by the manufacturing concerns. So far, not one of these companies has protested against the rate raise. It is op to them to present their case if they can offset the testimony heretofore given. If the rate is raised, it will not be imposed upon the people who have been and are now paying an admittedly adequate rate. "Our accountant snd the advisory committee have as yet only begun their work.

What their findings and testimony will be is a matter on which I cannot, at this time, speculate But, regardless of what may be shown, it is clear from testimony thus far adduced that there can be no justifiable rate raise on the general householder." The greater portion of the day was devoted to hearing of witnesses for companies supplying the Southwestern with gss and which have been cited to appear in the case. Mr. Curtis Testifies. A. G.

Curtis, general manager of the Shreveport and Caddo divisions of the Southwestern Gas and Electric company, took the stand in support of the gas rate raise petition when the hearing reconvened at 3 o'clock. He stated that his company had drilled 170 wells, of which about thirty are now producing. The maximum peak load of the gas supply, he said, varies with the weather, and other circumstances which at times cannot be anticipated. To meet the demand of all customers, he said, it is necessary to have immediately available a supply of gas and a transportation and distribution system equal to th peak suppjy, although this system is semi-idle most of the yeer. The peak of the gas supply might be compared to the peak of the treet car service, with the exception that weather is the chief factor in determining the gas supply ipeak, and its changes cannot be definitely anticipated, he said.

Defending the proposed new rate classification, he declared that in effect at present unfair in some particulars. He pointed out that under the present schedule, a email industry pays less for it gas than does a residence using the same amount, declaring that under the schedule asked this would be equalized. Mr. Curtis said that the company planned expenditure of $300,000 on its equipment during the next two years. This was described as "deferred maintenance," and would not, it was claimed, add anything to the company's revenue.

Geologist On Stand. Hopper, a geologist, placed on the stand by the Southwestern company, said that the Caddo and Cedar Grove field wer "practically depleted" and that the Elm Grove and Bethany fields, the only known supply available, would be exhausted probably in five and a half or six years.

13. The soldier bonus bill will not be made a part of the allied debt refunding bill, Chairman McCumber of the-senate finance committee said tonight after series of conferences had been held between senate leaders to discus the desirability of merging the two, and it had ibecome known at the White House that President Harding did not look with favor upon the suggestion that they be combined. The foreign debt bill, Senator 'McCumber said, would be taken up by the 'finance committee Monday, in the hope it would be put in shape at that time for reporting to the senate. It was the intention, he said, to eliminate' some of the features to which the treasury department has objected and which resulted in the measure being held in committee for several weeks. These Include provisions for semiannual payment of interest and that the Interest rate shall not be less than 5 per cent.

Although the merger plan was originally received favorably by a number of senate leaders, the president was said to regard it as impractical and his view was reflected in further conferences today between senate leaders. The president's objection to the merger wes said by callers at the White House today, to be based on his desire for the assurance that provision definitely would be made for payment of the bonus. So far as the refunding bill is concerned, he is said to belter that the refunding process should be developed to insure returns from the allied loans, before steps were taken to pledge the soldier bonus. He was represented, however, as not hostile to the suggestion thet the interest or principal o'f the allied loans be used for paying the bonus, once they were available and it was stated that also would not oppose a sales tax for the purpose of paying th bonus, if congress should decide on thet plan. The president, however, was said to regard as impractical a suggestion that more than 1300,000.000 in the hands of the alien property custodian be used for bonus payments.

Henry Ford's offer for purchase and lease of the government's nitrate and water power projects at Muscle Shoals, will be referred to congress for final decision, it was announced today at the conclusion of conferences between government officials and Mr. Ford.

Accompanying the Ford proposal, when it is transmitted, Secretary Weeks said, probably will be the two offers received from Frederick Enstrum of Wilmington, N. and C. C. Tinkler of San Francisco. The decision to refer the three offers to the legislative branch of th government, it was stated, was reached after consideration on the question by officials lasting over a period of more than six months.

Under the law regarding disposition of real estate owned by the federal government, it was said, the department officers lacked authority to take final action and were compelled to refer the Muscle Shoals offer to con-gross for its consideration. Actual transmission of the proposals was not expected to take place for at least two weeks. It was explained that the Ford proposal first would be drafted in contract form by law officers of the war department and be submitted to Mr. Ford before his signature was submitted to congrefrs. While the legal departments are working on the contract form, it was stated Secretary Weeks would prepare a report for Congress, detailing what "contents" he believed its members should have for iheir information.

Explaining the action taken by the conference, Secretary Weeks said he was disappointed in that Mr. Ford declined to agree to certain modifications of Tils plans which were held desirable by his conferees. On of these wss known to be that affecting the reduction of the 100-ysar iease period.
