"The unusual showing of tlte Publv Service Company," said E. J. Larkin, local district manager, "was *nade despite depression in business conditions generally and despite a major reduction made during the year in rates for electrical service. This reduction saved customer? of the company $928,000 during 1930. Had it not been for this reduction, the Public Service Company's rate of grops earnings would have been three times the average for the electric light and power business of the country." According to figures recently released by the National Electric Light Association, consumption of electricity by the average residential customer increased during the year from an annual rate of 500 kilowatt-hours to 550 kilowatt-hours. The average consumption for the Public Service Company's household customers rose from 534 kilowatt-hours to 585 kiloj watt hours. | The company has also made consid- ; erable progress in the electrification | cf farms, the report shows.

A substantial increase in the company's gas business also is revealed in the report. Despite the noticeable slack in homebuilding activity, 350 house heating customers were added to the company's mains during 1930. In spite of a decided falling off in industrial gas business generally, the total gas sales for the past year probably will exceed those for the previous year by nearly two per cent, says ths report.

Detroit.--Theodore Murdodr, bent and crippled, and appearing much older than his fltjyjyeafa, achieved his ambition wberaUigoty H. Frederick, chief assistanj^jpted States attorney, signed q warrant charging him with counterfeiting. It ended months of miserable toll for him writing with twisted fingers. He smiled contentedly as he was led to a cell in the county Jail. Murdock was arrested by George n. Boos, secret sen-ice operative, in his room in a hotel after a mysterious telephone call to secrej service head quarters. The caller had said a "dan gerous" counterfeiter might be arrest ed in the hotel. Boos was heavily armed when he flung open the door and found Murdock. With wide smiles, Murdock said he was a counterfeiter with a record and had actaal molds for coins in the rooms. He produced the molds and Boos reluctantly assisted him to a taxi and brought him to Frederick's office. _ There he confessed that he waft sentenced from Toledo in 1918 to ten years In Atlanta penitentiary for COUMterfeitlbg. Prison life broke down his health and he was paroled in 1924. Unable to gain a livelihood he first conceived «the idea of spending the remainder of his life In a prison about two years ago, .he told Frederick. He could not make up his mind to take the step, however, until a few months ago. Then all efforts to get sent to Jail were futile. After trying to aster state institutions unsuccessfully, he told Frederick, he decided to violate a federal law, easiest means he knew, he said, was to violate the postal laws by sending obscene letters through the malls. He sent several letters to the district at torney's office, but no attention was paid to him. Writing the letters was painful, and in despair over their failure he turned to an almost ftfgftiissible task for a man in his condition--the manufacture of molds for coins. Somehow he Accomplished the task. He finished the mfilds and then called the secret service headquarters. After telling his story. Murdock waited anxiousIJr* for Frederick's decision. Smiles lit his face when Frederick decided there was a technical violation of the counterfeiting laws and recommended -a warrant Famous Elm's Grandsog Will Be Transplanted Cambridge, Mass.--A "grandson" of the 'famous Washington elm, under which Gen. George Washington assumed command of the Continental army, soon will be thriving in historic soil here. The Washington elm Itself, long a local landmark, was cut down several years ago after Its great age had made it a hazard to motorists and pe destrlans. In 1896, however, one Arthur J. Collins, while a Harvard student, took n slip of the historic elm and planted it on the campus of the University of Washington. A "grandson" sprig, taken from that slip, had now attained l^a height of 16 feet, and the Cambridge park board has accepted the offer of the far western university to transplant the young elm near the spot where the original elm stood.
