Claim Recognition by United States.

ATHENS. October 2O.-The afternoon
newspapers publish a letter said to
have been sent by the American consul
at Saloniki to NJ. Politis, foreign min
lister of the provisional government es-
tabIished by former Premier Venizelos,
expressing the sincere hope of being
able to continue with the de facto gov
ernment the cordial relations always
heretofore existing between the au-
thorities and this consulate"
The adherents of NJ. Venizelos claim
that this constitutes recognition of the
provisional government by the United
States. The American minister, Gar
rett Droppers. denies that any consul
has been authorized to do more than
cultivate essential relations with the de
facto authorities in Mytilene and Crete,
as well as Saloniki

Duty Owed to Public.

"a public utility corporation owes a
duty to the public which must be per-
formed. 1t cannot refuse to perform
this duty. A street car company can
not refuse to operate it's cars before
6 O'Clock in the morning or after II
o'clock at night because it may not be
profitable TO do SO, but must furnish a
service to meet the public demand
without regard to whether it is profit
able or not. This is the great distinc-
tion between public utility and
private corporation.
1.-The public utilities commission was
not created by Congress for the pur-
pose of exercising an arbitrary juris-
diction over the utilities of the District
for doing justice to both the public
and the utility companies. and this is
the spirit which actuates the commits
sion.'
Illustrates His Remarks.
Commissioner Kutz spoke of the
operations of the engineer department
of the District government, illustrating
his remarks with about seventy five
lantern slides.
/ At it's annual election last night the

Cuiin, vice president. j. E. Herberle,

years. r. Fl. Dalgleish. the retiring

Reservists Out of Hand.

Extremely turbulent conditions in
Athens on Wednesday night are re-
ported in dispatch from Reuters cor
respondent at the Greek capital, sent
that evening. Greek reservists have
taken the law in their own hands de-
spite the presence of strong entente
detachments Of marines who are given
virtually no assistance by the Greek
authorities in maintaining order, the
dispatch declares.
Tonight" the message reads. 1t Is
evident that the reservists are out OF
hand, for despite the fact that strong
cavalry forces are escorting the French
and Greek marines and soldiers spread
about everywhere. the reservists, as
sembled in groups. have taken the law
into their own hands, and the Greek
forces for the maintenance of order
do not dispose of them.
"The chief Of the French police con-
troll has informed the editors Of the
anti-venizelos press the French will
exercise a newspaper censorship and
that newspapers printing anti-entente
articles run the risk of suspension.
The foregoing. although bringing the
news of developments in Athens only
up to Wednesday night, is the latest
report to be received on the situation
there.
