Finds Hijii Charge Needless The commission in its decision says it was a wlso provision, in the public service law that contemplated "three years' repose," following orders for utility companies' rates and service, and that tho evidence as to the finan cial condition and prospective revenues submitted by tho company in tho light of prevailing circumstances is "not sufficient to convince tho commission of the necessity of th increuse prayed for, nor of the justness or reasonable ness of the proposal to advance the applicant's rates above those which were in effect prior to the period of federal control." It is said that the company has, with pther utilities, suffered from increased casta and there is no disposition to deny "just and reasonable support," bu.t that it does not appear that the company would be injured by returning to the state commission established rates of iqn. Expects No Higher Costs After saying that the figures sub mitted by the company as the result of wartime operations are as yet Incon clusive in determining the reasonable ness of the rates the decision says it would not "be warranted in basing a conclusion upon the conjecture that higher costs of operation and scrvlco than those which have already been rtached will be tho experience of this company.

If Attorney General Falmer, fore seeing the inevitable, had called into consultation twenty or thirty of the leading food administrators of the coun try and obtained the benefit of their advice and experience, with the prom ise of their assistance fn controlling profiteers, the situation today would not be where it is. Instead, it was taken for granted by (he authorities in Washington that state food administrators and other members ol the Hoover organization would leap into the breach, reorganize their scat tered legions, and handle the food sit uation in peace, as it had been handled in war. Hut even under this assump tion the attorney general's office made a miscue.

The controlling thought must he thai the plan cannot be a success. The situntion has descended from the high plans of patriotism to (lie dead level of politics: an idea that was sug gested bv Jay Cooke, former adminis trator for Philadelphia, in his tele gram from liar Harbor last August, declining to enter into the M'hcnic. The feeling I find js that, the war being over nnd virtually all restrictions on food control being removed, with prices advancing ami the people impatiently demanding relief, the administration undertook to throw a sop to Cerberus, and the amendment to the wartime food control act was decided upon. Politics Behind the Scenes If the old food administration could be reorganized nnd put to work, some thing1 might be accomplished. If the plan ended in failure, as it was bound to do, then the disaster could be laid at the door of the food administration for its failure to function with the government clever polities and a sublimated case of "passing the buck."

Column 'll.ree World-Famed Military Genius Is Shot for Aiding Villa Rebellion FACED ACCUSERS PROUDLY By the Associated Press Chihuahua City. Mexico. Nov. 2li. -General Felipe Angeles, revolutionist and world -famed military genius, was executed by a Carranza firing scpiad at 0:35 a. m. today, inside the barracks of a cavalry regiment. The gray-haired veteran died as he had lived, without visible emotion or fear, in the presence of many specta tors. General Angeles, who was A'illa's right-hand man, was condemned by four Carranza generals constituting n court -martial, in the Teatro dc Los Hcros ("Theatre of the Heroes). Ho was im mediately taken from the building through a rear entrance to await execu tion. An appeal was made to a Federal District Court. It was rejected for lack of jurisdiction nnd the case was taken to the Supreme Court at Mexico City on n habeas corpus plea. This appeal apparently was turned down also and President Carranza refused to in tervene, although having tho power of pardon Angeles Defies Accusers The trial was tho most sensational ever held in Chihuahua City. General Angeles, who had been decorated by the Trench Government for services in tho world war, faced his accusers with a smiling face antl openly expressed op position to Carranza. The proceedings lasted from early Monday morning to lale last night, with the exception of very short re cesses. The theatre was opened to the public and w-ns filled to overflowing with per sons of nil degree, anxious to watch the famous leader tried. Excitement was high during tho trial and federal offi cials feared attempts would be made to rescue Angejes nnd his followers. Heavily armed guards surrounded the buildings nnd were plared nbout the theatre and on the stage At times persons in Ihn audience halt ed the proceedings with pleas for clem encj. Many hundred women were present, among these a coterie of social ieaders, who several times interrupted the court to plead for Angeles.
