COMMISSION IS JUBILANT OVER BALTZELL EDICT Decisions on Utilities Are Along Lines Approved by State Group. Public service commissioners are happy over the decision in favor of the commission’s orders handed down Wednesday by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzefl. Praising Judge Baltzell for his decision, Frank T. Singleton, chairman of the commission and by virtue of his position spokesman for the group, today said: “The public service commission has had its day in court. “Three of our orders have been approved. Judge Baltzell sustained |the principal findings of Commissioner Calvin Mclntosh in the Steuben County telephone company case, where the petitioners had sought to charge to operating expenses attorneys’ fees, engineers’ fees, and accounting fees, all incurred by the utility in attempting to obtain higher rates than were fair. “The extra expenses were to be charged to operating costs, which were to be paid by patrons in the form of increased rates. Commission Is Sustained “Judge Baltzell’s allowance of these fees was less than half of that claimed by petitioners and was very little more than the sum allowed by the commission. Therefore, this feature of the commission’s policy ,was in principle sustained by the Federal Court. “The commission was sustained particularly in the Royal Center telephone case, order for which was prepared by Commissioner Harvey Harmon. “In this case the commission declared itself to believe that the patrons of the utility should not be required to pay for service more than that service is worth. “The finding here was that the existing rates of the Royal Center [Telephone Company were as high as they should be, because the service rendered by it to its patrons was such that a rate increase would require patrons to pay more than the service rendered is worth. Under Utilities’ Claim “In the Vincennes water case, Judge Baltzell upheld the fair value found by the commission in an order prepared by Commissioner Howell Ellis. The value was declared by the commission to be $725,000, while the utility claimed it to be $1,400,000. “This was a wide difference and the commission believes that the price paid by the owners for the common stock of this utility only a short time before its petition for an Increase in rates was filed was one evidence of fair value. “Judge Baltzell, according to his

decision, evidently believed the same thing. “This case involved the matter of fair value of utility property for rate-making purposes, which is the principal basis for all contention in determining schedules of rates. “There has been a tendency to seek maximum rates because of the high cost of materials entering into construction of public utilities, and owners believe these costs favorable for seeking high rates for service. “Judge Baltzell’s decree in these three cases,” Singleton said, “defines the issues clearly and is particularly pleasing to the commission and seems to confirm its position in its effort to define fair value.

DRYS NOMINATE PARTY LEADERS AMIDJISORBER Hoover’s Defect, Proposal of Smith’s Name Cause Parley Revolts. Bu United Press CHICAGO, July 13.—Scenes of disorder, during which personal fights were narrowly averted, marked the final session of the National Prohibition party convention here, as William F. Varney, Rockville Center, L. 1., was selected as the presidential nominee of the party. Placing of the name of A1 Smith, “Wet” Democratic candidate, in nomination, a revolt led by J. B. Hammond, Des Moines, lowa, and a second revolt as the balloting began, preceded the nomination. James A. Edgerton, Alexandria, Va., was nominated for the vice presidency over Frank Regan, Rockford, 111. Edgerton received 68 votes and Regan, 29. Varney’s selection came on the second ballot. With sixty-one ballots needed for election he received fifty-three on the first ballot. Herbert Hoover received 42, Aaron S. Watkins, Waynesville, Ohio, 16, and Smith 2. On the second ballot Varney received 66 votes and Hoover 45. The party, however, left the way open to indorse Hoover by the adoption of a resolution empowering the national committee to replace its nominees with others and also to bar prohibition candidates for presidential electors in any States where such a campaign will aid Governor Smith. Varney’s nomination came at the end of a day of dispute. The first disagreement between delegates came early in the day when Clinton Howard, Rochester, N. Y., presented a resolution proposing that the party refrain from nomination and call upon Hoover to declare himself for prohibition. The second demonstration of discord started when James M. Templeton, Cary, N. C., nominated Governor Smith. ‘ Delegates rushed through the aisles and threats of fighting, without fulfillment, were heard on all sides. The last serious revolt came just before the balloting, when twenty delegates left the hall, protesting the insistence on the indorsement, of Hoover. Other delegates followed and more threats of blows were heard, but none was struck. Finally all delegates returned and balloting began. The convention closed after both
