The company desires the commission to authorize the rate increase it has petitioned for without using a plant valuation as a basis for rate making. "The city will vigorously attempt to prevent the Light, Heat and Power company from dragging before the commission any plea that the rates they have petitioned for are justifiable be cause of the loss of business the company is to sustain by the city taking over the company's electric service unit," said President Bavis of the board of public works, today. "It will be pointed out to the com mission that in making out its order for the sale of the company's electric plant to the city, and in establishing the purchase price of this plant, the commission set forth the fact that in determining the purchase price of the plant in question it took into consideration the losses t3 company would sustain in re-organizing its gas utility business upon a profitable basis, after being deprived of its electric service business, and that such loss is provided for in the price fixed for the company's electric plant."

submarine

EXPLOSION (ILLS TWO J NEW YORK. July 15. A fatal ex plosion occurred this afternoon on the United States submarine E-2 while she was in dry dock at the Brooklyn navy- yard.' An hour after the explosion it was stated that two men were known to be dead, but that the death list might go to eight or more.. Nine men were injured, some of them so badly it was feared they would die. The injured were rushed to tne naval hospital. Following the explosion the submarine was filled with fumes from the batteries. The commandant of the navy yard organized a rescue squad to carry on the work. . The fnmes in the submarine increased to such a volume that rescue work had to be suspended until they could be cleared, which accounted for the confusion as to the exact number of fatalities. A later dispatch from Admiral Usher said that two meu had been rescued from the E-2 and rushed to the hospital. Both were injured, it was said. PROMINENT FARMER EXPIRES AT EATON EATON, O., Jan. 15.

WOMAN DRAWS FINE Reducing the charge to asi and battery but believing that she had no intention of killing her son, the jury found Mrs. Anna Bush, Fountain City, mother of thirteen children, guilty, and she was fined $25 and costs and sixty days in jail.

COURT CLEARS

MANY TRIALS FROMOCKET Clerk Reports Action on Seventy-five Criminal Cases During: 1915 Divorces Decrease in Number. "Business was rushing" In circuit court during 1915 as shown by the annual report of the clerk. More criminal cases were filed than during a similar period for many years. More than twice the number of case disposed of in 1914 were brought 1o issue and judgment rendered during 1915. Seventy-five criminal cases were disposed of during the year compared with 36 in 1914. There' were 29 commitments for felonies and 31 for misdemeanors compared with 16 and 5 commitments, respectively, in 1914. There' were four convictions for violation of the liquor laws. The number of divorces fell off compared with 1914. During 1915, 71 unhappy couples were granted a legal separation while in 1914 this number reached 92. As usual, cruel and inhuman treatment on the part of the husband leads the list of complaints. Fifty-six divorces were granted to the wife as plaintiff and 15 to the busband. Thirty-six divorces were denied which is nine more than the number refused in 1914. That the foreigners in Richmond are comparatively "good citizens" Is the conclusion reached from the fact that out of the 71 convictions in circuit court for felonies, only three of this number were foreigners. Nine convictions w ere colored men and women. Petit larceny heads the list of felonies and gambling oeads the list of misdemeanors. During 1915. ten persons were naturalized. Italy and Germany head the list of the nationalities. During 1914. 115 Italians declared their intentions of becoming United States citizens but only three took out final papers this year.
