W. R. & F. CO. TAKES
BOND CASE To court
Asks that Public Utilities Commission
Be Compelled to Authorize
Issue of $34I, 900.

Alleging IL is being Disseminated
against by the Public Utilities Commits
sion. the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company yesterday appealed to the
District Supreme Court to compel the
commission to authorize a bond issue Of
$4,000. Through Attorneys S. r. Owen
and John s. Barbour, the company sets
forth that the Public Utilities Commits
sion refused to permit bond issue that
was necessary to cover certain improve
ments ordered by the commission.
The company asserts that its charter
gives it the right to issue bonds to any
amount not in excess OF the amount to
be spent for the improvements. and 1t
questions the discretionary power Of the
commission to interfere with that right
The bill states that the reason given by
the commission for refusing the issue
was that it had not completed a valuI-
ton of the company's property. They
point out. however, that the company
has no means of knowing when, If ever.
the valuation will be completed.
The question Of the present capitaliza-
ton of the company could not be con-
sdered in this case. says the company.
because all of its outstanding stocks and
bonds were issued and applied under act
of Congress June >. 1900. before the crea-
ton of the Public Utilities Commission.
The company contends that the commits
sion cannot lawfully affect or disturb the
existing capitalization fixed with the
sanction of Congress.

germany FAR FROM
GOAL, SAYS TEUT0N
Professor of Munich Asserts Final
Victory Is Not Yet in
Sight.
BY G.. r. STEWARD.

Rotterdam. July 2o-Despite official
edicts that no one must discuss the prob
able outcome of the war. DR.. Sismund
Gunther, professor of Munich, and a
member of the chamber of deputies.
writing in the Berlin Nossische Zeitung,
SAYS:
Every sirfsible person must admit that
there can be no question at this moment
as to the end of this fearful struggle
and those in authority should speak a
strong word on this subject.
We are still very far from the attain
ment of our hopes. which must be real
lied before We can begin to discuss the
terms of peace. Our splendid troops
have gained victories in all the theaters
of war, but gigantic tasks still lie be-
fore us. Germany looks forward with
confidence to the future, but the victory
that brings the end in sight has not
yet been obtained.
"A couple of aristocrats make I'M
qualified attacks on our imperial chan
cellor because he does not act sharply
enough in German interests toward
neutral people, while some pacifist
elements act as though they were
ready. for the sake of peace, to ask
the enemy if he will gractiously enter
into negotiations. Consequently. there
is confusion from one end of the coun-
try to the other.
IF we wish to be strong to the
end, there must be an end to all of
this talk Those who seem to regard
it as sport to divide the skin of the
bear before it is shot had better hold
their tongues"
The reference to the couple of aris-
tocrats" is directed to Admiral Won
Tirpitz and Count Won Reventlow.

SOUTH'S ATTITUDE ON
COTTON TOLD WILSON
Senator Bankhead Says British Inter-
ference with Shipments Will Cause
Deplorable Conditions.

The attitude of the South toward Brit
ish interference with cotton shipments to
Germany. Austria and other nations of
Europe was placed before President Will
son yesterday by Senator Bankhead, of
Alabama.
Senator Bankhead declared that the
South now had surplus Of 3, 900. 900 bales
of cotton on its hands, and stated that
next years crop probably would total
l.. 10000 bales. The surplus would oper-
ate to so reduce the price Of the staple,
he stated. that conditions in the South
the coming winter would be worse than
they We're last winter
Although President Wilson did not give
Senator Bankhead any assurance that a
note will be sent to Great Britain i'm
mediately on the subject OF trade inter-
ference, it is the general understanding
in Washington that such a communica-
ton will issue from the State Depart
ment shortly after the German tension
is relieved.

ON NAVAL BOARD

SELECTIONS BY DANIELS

ventors Named by Scientific
Societies.
SELECTIONS BY DANIELS

1t became known yesterday that Alex
ander Graham Bell, Orville Wright and
others who have distinguished themselves
In various fields Of science are assured
OF membership on the Naval Advisory
Board OF Inventions and De- ,opment II
they should fail of nomination by the
scientific bodies that Secretary Daniels
has invited to make up the personnel of
the board.
An informal announcement to this ef-
feet was made by Secretary Daniels as a
result OF a suggestion that II he adhered
strictly to the selections of scientific
bodies, some OF the men he Is most
anxious to have serve the department on
the board, might fail to be chosen for
membership. Secretary Daniels made It
plain that the Advisory Board would in
clude such men as Mr.. Bell and Mr..
Wright. even IL they were not named by
the scientific bodies Of which they are
members.
Will BE Large Body.
1t is apparent that the Advisory Board
will be a much larger body than was
originally contemplated. When the Sec
rotary OF the Navy originally announced
his purpose to assemble such a board
he stated that it would be made
up of nine. ten or eleven members. Sec
the heads of eight scientific socities in
wiling each to name two members. It is
known that like invitations are to be for
warded to other organizations not in
Guided in the list made public. This
means that the board will be composed
of at least sixteen members. with the ad
dition of Thomas A. Edison, who will be
chairman. and in all probability a num-
Der OF others representing various
branches of science.
Fear Is expressed by some naval Of
ficials that good deal of difficulty may
attend the task of choosing members for
the Advisory Board. especially II the
made by the various scien-
tific societies should arise antagonisms in
these organizations. In this event, it is
suggested. Mr.. Daniels might be forced to
make the selections himself, regardless
Of recommendations made by the scien-
tific societies.

The strikers are nearly all foreigners
Polaks, Slavs and Italians-and are not

leaders say they will not return to work
until their demands. which approximate
1o-per-cent increase, are granted.
The Standard Oil officials are equally
determined. They announced that the
plant could remain closed for several
months and still meet the requirements
of the market due to the curtailment of
demand caused by the European war.
