Negotiation for the purpose of pur-
chasing h propertiea of th Houttoa
Oai and Fuel company vera initiated by
the dty council Thursday when the coun-
cil by unanimous consent authorised the
mayor to appoint a committee of fire to
inquire into the value of the company's
"properties and to suggest method by
-which the purchase could be consum-
mated. The motion to inaugurate nego
tiations was made after a letter written
; by F. D. Murphy general manager of the
company had been read to the council. In
hi letter Mr. Murphy made the state-
ment that the dty should grant the com
pany an increase of rate of 6 cent
charged consumers making the rate $1.15
instead. of $1.09 as at present or take
orer the company's properties.
Mayor Oppose Increase.
At the conclusion of the reading of the
letter Mayor Holcombe speaking for him-
self said that he was opposed to any in-
crease in gas rate and would contest it.
Commissioners House Waugh and An
derson agreed with him instantly saying
that the rate was high enough and that
the special master had so fodSd in. his
report. Continuing the mayor said that
the suggestion to purchase the properties
was "not a bad ides: that he was in
favor of the city owning the gaa com
pany and the light and power company
too if it were possible." The only ques
tion he said was one of finances.
The other commissioners agreed with
him in this also and Commissioner Hal
verton after a little discussion moved
that the mayor be authorized to appoint
a committee of five to inquire into the
. matter ascertain the price and suggest
a method and terms by which the dty
could acquire the properties. .
Hons Make StatamsaL
. CotaaJisalonar Bouse said that he
could take over the operation of the gas
properties in connection with the water
supply and was satisfied that his depart
ment could handle them both even in
cluding the lighting company satisfac
torily to the public at a less rate than is
-now being charged for their services.
The report of Special Master Hunt
placed a valuation for rate making pur
poses on the gas properties of $3066000.
This valuation however is not the value
that would be placed on a purchase price
as there are several elements that enter
into a valuation for rate making purposes
that would not enter in a valuation con
sidered proper on a purchase. Mayor
Holcombe announced that he would im
mediately consider the question carefully
and name the committee in a few day.

Now Jn a sudden puff of air it stood
bravely displayed while the note of the
stirring hymn that became the battle
song of the gaunt ragamuffin of the
French revolution who tore with naked
finger at the gray wall of that infamous
Parisian dungeon that typified all their
horrors and misery and nerved the polio
at Verdun to cry to the German hordes
They shall not pass echoed and re-
echoed above the busy tramp of the dty
streets compelling all to silence by it insistent-appeal
that would not be denied.
The fall of the Bastile. One of the
most significant events of human his
tory is almost forgotten except by the
school boy boning on his history of thev
world.' It marks the apex of anger of a
people made insane through' their suf-
ferings. It is a symbol of all human mis
ery. Within its gloomy walls in Its
filthy dungeons the innocent and crimi
nal alike were thrown. It ball and cor
ridors resounded to the law of might. Sot
right Prince and pauper alike suffered
its horrors at the caprices of kings. For
centuries it was a festering sore in the
hearts of the people of France until that
day driven insane by suffering because
of a weak and vacillating King and a cruel
and heartless minister they turned and
rended it stone from stone and salted the
wreck in the tear of their woes. Upon
this altar they consecrated with their
life's Mood the solemn ties of "Liberty
Equality Fraternity."
Ost et Horror It Cam.
uut or tnese Horrors born in a mo
ment of divine aspiration interpreting
all the longings desires sacrifices mis-
ery and hopes of humanity came the
birth of that inspired battle hymn spirit
child of the brain of Roget DeLule the
chant of the marching men of Marseilles
"Ls Marseillaise." Defiance prayer
sacrifice endurance and hope are in
every note of its bars and measures. Al
luring caressing; frensied madness and
supreme immolation emanate in. its
strains. It is the world's cry to eternity
tor redressment of an human wrongs.
And so all Houston' within sight and
sound stood (till .before the . flag and
under the influence of the pulsating1 notes
wafted on the winds. Stood stilt and
consdousiy or unconsdously paid tribute
to the birthday of France.
The day was celebrated in Houston at
the Munn company's store by appropriate
ceremonies. The standard of France in
commemoration of the comradeship of
1917-18 was displayed over the dub
rooms of the American Legion. Other
places in the downtown district honored
the day by a display of the national col
ors and French flags. No formal or offi

Washington Confident
However That Participa-
tion Will Be Complete
By Leased Wire to The Houston Post
WASHINGTON July 14-Jspan has
come only half way in responding to
President Harding' invitation for her
partidpation in the proposed internation-
al conference at Washington on limita
tion of armainenta and Pacific and Far
Eastern problems which menace peace.
Responding Thursday to this govern
ment' proposal the Japanese govern
ment states that it would be delighted toj
participate in the conference on lunjts-
tion of armaments and stopped there.
Japan according to the state department
was silent on the other phrase of discus-
Lsion which is regarded by the United
States and the 'other nations to partid-
pate as of the most vital importance.
Limitation of armaments it is agreed.
must be contingent upon adjustment of
the problems of the Padfie and the Far
East If Japan is going to rebel against
consideration of these issues there may
be serious breakers ahead for the world
statesmen who are about to enter the
Washington conference with high hopes
for reducing the expensive a4)naments
of the world.
Huoltet aad Hardies. CoRfldent.
The president and Secretary Hhghes
are known however to be confident that
Japan eventually will agree to participate
in the whole program. So confident are
they that are ignoring Japan's failure
to respond to the second section of the
American invitation and it was an
nounced that the official call for the con
ference would be issued by the president
in the near future probably within two
week. Chin the last of the power to
be heard from having replied favorably
.and pnrosbnedly Thursday! ; ..
Tym state department made It dear al-
though net publishing the text of Jspan's
reply that the response did not express
sny "unwillingness" to participate in con-
sideration of the Eastern questions.
Notwithstanding the optimism of the
administration the reply from Japan is
regarded as significant in some quarters
here. But even those who believe that
Japan may insist upon stipulations or
qualifications before agreeing to partid-
pate in the whole program outlined by
the president do not think that she can
long stand out against Great Britain
France Italy and the United State.
Great Britain with the Anglo-Japanese
alliance hanging in the balance it is
recognised has a "formidable weapon of
influence over the Far Eastern nation.-
Wast No Immlgratlos Decisis.
There have been reports received here
unofficially that the Japanese statesmen
wtah to have an understaQing that there
will be no immigration dedsion at th
conierence wmcn wouid be against the
interests of Japan. Another obstacle to
prompt acceptance by Japanese of the
invitation to participate in discussion of
the Eastern issues is said to be the fact
that China although not one of the inter-
allied group haa been invited to a place
at the council table. Japan would pre-
fer it it believed that issues such as
Shantung and other questions involving
China would be considered by the big
power only.
Nothing has been done in regard to de-
tailed plans for the conference. Each
nation is to be limited in the number of
men who will actually take part in the
discUsaions but this number has not
been fixed and probably will not be until
the matter has been considered with the
nations concerned. But the motive will
be to keep the number as small a pos
sible ; probably not more than 4 or 5
from each country.
Seastt ts Bs Represented.
The " American representation is a
mstter of considerable speculation. Sec-
retary of Bute Hughes will of course
head the delegation. President Harding
i expected to name a representative of
the sesate on the delegation. Senator
Lodge a chairman of the foreign rela-
tions committee would be a logical
choice. If a democratic senator i to be
inshtded it probably will be Senator
Hitchcock ranking member of tho for-
eign' relations committee. In the view of
many observers here former Secretary
of 8tate Ellhu Root also will be asked
to become a member of the American del-
egation. Told to "Leave For Good
