Promises Lower Rate With Cheaper Oil Supply Due Aug. 1 The Public Service Commission. which William A. Prendergast is the chairman, will in the near future consider, for the purpose of fixing hearing dates, the new schedule of the New York and Queens Ots Com- pany, increasing its rate from II. Jo to 11.60 perl.000 cubicfeet.The.com- pany yesterday filed the new rate with the commission announcing that it pi 0p08ed to put it inlo offwt on but promised to 1'edUC It Oil Aug.

1, when a cut in the cost of gas oil is expected. The company sup plies gas to the Third Ward of Queens. The present rate of $1.25 plus a service charge of 75 cents a month, the company's statement said, had been fixed last November when gas oil cost the corporation 7 cents a gallon, and was calculated to give the concern a yield equivalent to a flat rate of $1.50 per l.tlOU feet. The present cost of oil, the corporation asserted, was 12.25 cents per gallon. Four to 4'4 gallons arc required for each 1,000 cubic feet of gas so that according to the company's figures the boost In oil is adding from 21 to 23 cents a 1,000 cubic, feet to the cost of gas.

The company's statement con tinues: "There has not been any offsetting decrease in the cost of other commodities or in the wages paid for labor. On the contrary, taxes and cer tain other unit costs have increased since last November. During the four months ended April 30, 1920, the company's net actual operating expenses. aside from any return on any of the company's actual investment In the property used in the public service, amounted to $1.50.6 for every 1,000 cubic feet of gas sold. The present rate, which is $1.25, plus a service charge of 75 cents a month, revenue equivalent to a flat rate of $1.47 per 1,500.

"We shall lower the rate asked just as soon and just as far as decreases In our operating costs permit. We shall do this despite the heavy losses incurred under the inadequate rate. After Aug. 1 we expect to get gas oil at 6 cents a gallon. That will reduce, as indicated, our manufacturing cost substantially.

On Aug. 1 we shall reduce the rate now fixed to the full extent permitted by the reduced cost of gas oil and other operating costs prevailing at the time."

A table and a few chairs were the only properties, but an understanding of stage mechanics was evidenced in the skillful handling of the plays, which were well constructed.

and Mrs. James K. Maloney, both seriously ill from nervous strain at their home. 1 S. Elliot today.

But yesterday the doctor was able to bring halm to another heartbroken family, when in the course of the tireless search for his own boy he accidentally stumbled upon the whereabout of another. Two weeks ago the 18-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Campbell of 40 Throop ave. disappeared from home, leaving his mother and father nearly crazed with grief.

No was left unturned whichmight lead to his recovery, as Mrs. Campbell's health was threatened by the strain. Till yesterday the search was unavailing. Yesterday Dr. Maloney.

still on the search for his son, got special permission to look over the roster of recent enlistments in Navy Recruiting headquarters at 48 4th ave. An application blank on which was written the name Wilfred Richard Campbell attracted bis attention. The age was given as 18 years, and although Dr. Maloney's boy is only 16. he believed that he may have given an older age, ho as to make him eligible for the Navy.

What stabbed him to the heart was the statement that both his father and mother were dead, but thai his sole guardian was a brother by the name of Norwood Gerald Campbell, living at 41)0 Throop ave. The boy gave his ad dress as the McKcmsie Hotel and Tillary sts. Skeptic, but determined to Fulton ow upi every clue, Lr. Maloney visited the Kenzie Hotel and found out that a Wilfred Richard Campbell hail been there, but that he had left for the Navy two days before. 'I he description given; at ttie hotel of the boy appearance did not tally with that of Horace Maloney, tne doctors son.

"Hut I have a son who has been gone for over two weeks, and I would give the world to find him." Dr. Maloney realized then that Wilfred Richard Campbell was not a name used by hjs own son. "Madam, 1 can bring you good news about your son," the doctor said. "Hi is in splendid hands. 1 wish I were sure that my own son was as safe as Tour boy Wilfred.

Your boy has en listed in the Navy." Ml aiolll mill explained the similarity of their posi tion. Mrs. Campbell's gratitude knew no bounds. "I certainly feel sympathy for the Maloney family." she told an L'aglc representative today. "If boys only realized the suffering they caused their parents, they never would run away."

Me was remanded for sentence to June 30.

Assistant Attorney Wallace K. Collins, who conducted the prosecution for the Government, said after the trial that he will use both Feuer and, if possible, Jacques, In a Grand Jury investigation which he will Inaugurate in few days and the objective of which will be a number of important officials in the Erie Railroad. According to Collins, Jacques, who received about half the proceeds' the harbor thefts, was acting on instructions from superiors who themselves benefited most from the transactions. This investigation will go thoroughly into the Question of the relation of the railroads and railroad i oniciais to the thefts lrom the railroad barges and boats, and is expected to result in startling revelations. Both Collins and Judge Chatrleld made it very plain to Jacques that he will be leniently dealt with by the Government if he agrees to di- vulge information on the witness stand, connecting the men "higher i up" with the thefts.

When, before sentence was imposed, Jacques at torney asked for a light sentence on the ground that the only evidence of his connection Willi the ermsnlrnev came from testimony bv two convicts. the Court said: "Of course iinvthincr is nnsuihlo nith Keuer and Chapman, and their testimony may he onlv another in the list of their crimes, but Jaques has not satisfactorily explained his relations to nil this, nnd If he wants to do so by telling the whole truth. I'm sure I the Government will be glad to assist him. Meanwhile I must impose sen- tenee." To the same effect Collins said that i if Jacques wnnls to help the Gov- eminent the Government will be glad to help him.

LaGuar-dia, president of the Board of Aldermen, to the members of the Damascus Lodge 8ii7, K. A. last night at their lodge rooms in the Masonic Temple, Clermont and Lafayette aves.

There should De some way of making bel ligerent countries stop this arming, and when it is entirely stopped, then, and then only, will there come to the world the peace and prosperity that it should have." Speaking on immigration, the Major continued: "I personally am against Hie new proposed Immigration laws In that they show discrimination and do not give the country the typo of people lluit is needed. There is at present an overabundance of clerks and factory workers, I admit, but there, is and always will be a short- ige ot laborers.
