CHICAGO GAS SUIT.
Review of Deoiaion Sought to Be Ob
tained in the Action.
Chicago, May 12. Collusion on
the part of the complainant in the
75-cent gas case in order to mnkt
the United States circuit court take
jurisdiction of a question which it
already had refused to consider is
charged in an answer filed in the
federal circuit court by the city of
Chicago to the bill of Darius Q,
Mills, a stockholder in the Peo
ple's Gas Light' & Coke Company.
Mills' case was filed after. Judge
Grosseup decided that he liad no
jurisdiction to pass upon the power
of the city to regulate the price of
gas when that question was pre
ented in a suit by the gas company.
He ruled in this case, however,
that the gas company has no con
tract to charge a uniform price of
$1 for gas in Chicago, and his tie-
;ision was affirmed.
When Mills filed his bill the city
interposed a demurrer, but Judga
Crosscup took jurisdiction on the
ground that Mills is a resident of
California and a diversity of citi
zenship existed. He decided -that
the right to regulate the price of
gas is vested in the state and not in
the city, and the answer just filed
is a step toward securing a review
of his decision.

getting it was to starve the pig one day and feed
