OPERATIONS OP THE GAS TRUST Legislative Committee Digs for Facts 1 About Its Capital. ! NEW YORK. March 31. Apparent dis crepancies of 511.000,000 In the amount of profits and f $13,000,000 in the total amount of investments In the statements submitted by the Consolidated Gas Com pany formed features of the second day of the Inquiry by the legislative com mittee conducting the gas Investigation m New York. On behalf of the com pany It was said that another statement would be presented shortly, showing what disposal had been made of th 511.000,000 profits. On account of the absence of R. A. Carter, secretary of the company, due to illness, no Axplanatlon was offered y the defense of the $13,000,000, beyond the statement of counsel that It was at tributed to the difference between the priee of properties acquired and their present actual value. B. A. Whiteley, assistant treasurer of the company, was recalled and asked to explain why certain increases In the company's capital stock were made. "Whiteley explained that the additional capital was used in acquiring several independent gas and electric companies in various ?arts of the city. It developed, however, that nearly $11,000,000 profits realized on the sale of stock was not accounted for in the state ment. "What "became of the balance?" asked Mr. Hughes, counsel for the com mittee. "The statement submitted is what 1 sup posed" you wanted." replied the witness. He promised to get another, which would show what disposition was made of the 511,000.000 profits. The witness afterward stated that the discrepancies in the ac counts were -apparently due to the fact that the properties were purchased at. a higher price than "appeared in .the com pany's statement. In the process of an Inquiry as to the dividends paid by the constituent com jwinies of the Consolidated Gas Company, Mr. Whiteley said one paid 9 per cent since 1301 and another an average of 13 per cent in the last three years.
