SPECIAL Cable to The Washington Herald.
Paris, March 2S.-Mrs. Jackson Gou-
raud, of New York. returned to Paris this
week after her search for the 'quintes-
sence of happiness" in a North African
desert She found perfect content there.
but at the same time she came perilously
near losing her like. When she threaded
her way across the sandy wastes II was
also with the object of persuading some
chiefs of the dervish tribes to come to
Paris to figure in her great 5000 prize
fete. but when she was several days be-
yond the reach of civilization her native
convoy mutinied.
She steadfastly refused to pay them the
extortionate sum they now demanded to
proceed farther. and they deserted, leav-
ing her alone with her native interpreter
without protection from the semi-savage
marauders.
Fell Into Dervi.h's Hands.
Mrs. Gouraud next fell into the hands of
a small band of which the chief was a
powerful dervish named Sango Tomo.
and was held a prisoner three days. She
attributes her eventual liberation to a
CnhTm representing Buuuna WnlCn WIS
stolen from a Hindoo temple in the Indian
hills many years ago. This charm she
has worn around her neck since she was
girl. On the fourth day Sango Tomo
espied the charm and Immediately
salaamed profoundly.
When she perceived the unexpected ef-
feet Of her mascot. Mrs. GOuraud pointed
TO a number OF snakes tattoOed on her
forearm. The muscular dervish hastily
spread a carpet on the earth and kneel-
ing down bowed his forehead TO the
ground. Within an hour the American
captive was not only released. but also
provided with an escort to the nearest
center of civilization.

the movement for increased military
activities In Russia. has been taken
by many to mean that Russia is aim

REPORTS CONFLICTING

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Conflict-
ing reports have been received here
on the situation at Mexico. One dis
patch from the city of Chihuahua
gives Villa complete victory OF the
Federal army at Torreon, and anoth-
er report from Juarez says that Villa

after receiving several kilograms from
the Mexican consulate at Ell Paso,
Texas.
"Torreon has not been captured by

Despite the fact that a number of
official kilograms addressed to the
embassy have been intercepted by the
rebels" Charge Alagara said. I'VE are
certain that Torreon has not fallen
and that the Federal garrison is not IN
any imminent danger. Reinforce
ments have reached Torreon and it is
only question of time before General
Villa and his troops will be driven out
of the suburbs"

Manufacturers Appeal to the
Commercial Club, Request
ing Investigation Into New
Scale.
CHARGE INJUS TIC E
Very Little Complaint From
Small Domestic COnsum-
ers AS Rates Really Prove
Lower for Them.

Manufacturers are not pleased with
the new rate of electricity for power
use and have complained to the Com
mercial club, asking an investigation.
Statistics showing that the new rates,
said to be cheaper, are ultimately
higher and the scale is not equitable.
The committee on public service
corporations will meet to consider
data collected by Charles w. Jordan
within a short time and probably will
propose a new scale of rates more
equitable.
Complaint has been made that
minimum charge Of seventy-five cents
per horse power for all electric mo-
tors is an injustice and the arrange
ment of charging for alternating and
direct current motors is unfair. Al
ternating current motors are charged
the meter reading and direct current
motors are charged an additional
twenty per cent over the meter read
ing.
There has been little complaint from
small domestic consumers as the new
rates have proved lower for them. A
fraction over seven cents with the dis
count was charged while the new rate
IL a flat six cents for each kilowatt,
where less than fifty are used. The
rates have been effective month and
are the same for both the city and the
Light, Heat and Power plants.

VAN|A RATE
TOO Low, SAYS REA
Railroad Head Pleads for 5
Per Cent Increase to Bring
Dividends.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-'Present
rates on the Pennsylvania railroad sys-
tenn do not yield fair return on the
amount invested, and are not an ade-
uuate return for the service rendered.
declared President Rea in advocating
q rate increase of per cent before
the interstate commerce commission
today. J. 8. Rogers, general superin-
tendent of the road, also argued for
higher rates.
Despite the utmost efforts to onset
increasing costs by the application OF
the most modern methods" said Rea,
"the return on it's investment has been
continually falling, and unless this de-
cline is arrested, it will undermine
the company's resources and cripple
it's power to satisfactorily serve the
public.
1.-THE investing public upon whom we
deepnd for securing capital, seeing the
decline in profit, regards the situation
with the same concern, and needs TIC
be assured that not only will our com.
pany, but also the other railroad com
panies secure compensation to offset
the increase in expense and enable
them to maintain the current rates OF
dividends"
President Rea pointed out that the
Pennsylvania is not excessively cap
italized, the average ration of capita
to earnings being about five to one
while on English systems it is ten
to one. In ten years, he said, from
June, 1903, to June, 1918, the Penn
sylvania property investments had in
creased $500, 100000, operating reve
nue. 100000. operating expenses

CHARGE
AGAINST 0. STORER
Keller Says Muncie Loan
Man Acted Within the
Law

Investigation conducted by Prosecu-
tor Keller on the alleged loan shark"
business Of Oliver W. Storer, presi-
dent of the Muncie Banking company,
proved that the Muncie man was oper-
ating within the law. The charges
which were filed by Charles Smith, an
aged man, were dismissed a few days
ago.
At the time the case was brought
to the open it was claimed that Storer
had charged Smith 5000 interest for
S35 loan for one year. The matter
was taken up with Attorney General
HOnan and Mr.. StOrer of the Muncie
company, received a letter saying that
Mr.. Honan was of the opinion that
the act passed by the last legislature,
known as the loan shark act" does
not apply to banks, trust companies
or building associations.
A second letter from Secretary of
State O'Brien says that banks are ex-
cluded from the ''loan shark act" At
the time the case was filed there was
intense feeling against the operations
Of the Muncie banker - it was
thought he was violating The law in
making loans.
Prosecutor Keller, however, found
that the charges against Mr. Storer
were without grounds and the case
was dismissed. At one time the pros
ecutor desired a thorough probe OF
the business of the Home Loan com
pany, but when it was found that the
Muncie banker was not violating the
laws he called off the investigation.

victory of the Mats was largely due
to the work of Steinkamp, pitcher Of

factor in the win. Yedding did the

battery that was too much for the
Founders, with the result that the
Americans held the heavy end of a
34-13 score at the end of the affair.

CHARGE OF MURDER
FACED BY BREWER

FORT WAYNE. Ind, April I'll.
J. Bruce, colored, head waiter at the
Anthony hotel, who was shot by A. c.
Trentman, the Chicago man and Fort
WAYNE brewer, died this morning in
A hospital from q bullet wound in the
abdomen.
Trentman will be arraigned before
the city Judge some time today, and
the charge of assault and battery with
intent to kill now standing against him
changed to murder in the first de-
gree.
An ante-mortem statement was Sc
cured from Bruce. Trentman's bond
for $4,000 was withdrawn and
charge of first degree murder placed
against him shortly before noon. He
has been in Jail ever since the shoot
ing. although he himself or any one
of his numerous relatives could have
put I'D cash bond. He has been kept
in confinement, however, as his rela-
tives contend that he is insane and
unfit to be at large.
A large corps of doctors are al
ready engaged in preparing an insan-
ity defense.
Trentman spends his time in Jail
playing cards and reading papers. He
was deeply affected when informed OF
his victims death. He declared that
his recollection of the trouble is very
hazy, and he attributes his crime to
drink.
Senator Fleming, his brother-in-law,
has been summoned from New York.
Public sentiment is very strong against
Trentman, as the shooting was un-
provoked. Bruce was an educated en-

HOW TO LOWER FARE
ON TRANSPORTATION

Many persons know schemes to low
er their railroad fare bills. One OF
these-to purchase tickets to several
intermediate points when travelling
long distances-is common. But 1t is
also inconvenient.
So the committee on steam railroads
OF the Commercial club would save
Richmond this trouble in trip to Chi
cago. The rate from here to Chicago
is SIS on either railroad. However. by
purchasing a s.55 ticket to New Castle
and a 1896 ticket to Chicago from
there and vice versa returning, $1.OO
a round trip can be saved.
The committee will meet soon to ar
range with the railroad company a
system of rates preventing this incon
venience If possible, straight $4.5C
one-way rate to Chicago will be Sc
cured. There are similar instances
shown in travel in other directions
from Richmond which will be adjusted
If possible.
