The explanation OF this remarkable
arrangement is not hard to find. 1t
IL all spread out on the records Of the
Public Utilities Commission, which,
incidentally, has directed the two
companies to show cause why the ar
rangement should not be broken up.
The Potomac Electric Power Com
pany has outstanding $4,000 shares OF
capital stock OF par. value Of So
100000. OF these $4,000 shares the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company owns all but eleven, which
are distributed among directors of
the power company to give the latter
concern legal corporate personality.
and 1850 sh:res held by the United

On June %, 1905. about the time of the
merger of the Potomac Light and Pow
er Company and the United States
Electric Lighting Company under the
corporate name of the present Potomac
Electric Power Company. the latter
concern and the Washington Railway
and Electric Company. both of whose
officers and directors are practically
Identical. entered into an agreement
whereby the railway company was to
get current from the power company.
In view of what Is actually the case
today. the terms of this agreement are
interesting. They provide that the
Railway company. at its option,
shall have the preferential right TO
receive from the power company so
much of the electrical energy sup
piled (as) may be nCcueu Oy

charges so much per kilowatt hour, and
others 80 much per car mile.
And the per car mile rates OCCASION

however. the rate of IL cents Cor, in
terms of dollars, sO.0lD, per klowatt

railway of Washington, and applying
that rate to the $3.50. .oS6 kilowatt hours
which the Washington Railway and
Electric Company takes yearly from tho
Potomac Electric Power Company. the
latter, instead of receiving slI2. pa IS "A

pany gross revenue Of $S36. .9SS 95.

Fair Rate For Current.
That this profit. which we must as
sumo is figured on fair rate for the
current inasmuch as it is the rate
which the Washington Railway and
Electric Company charges its own sub
sdiary. and which the terms of We

tomac Electric Power Company and
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company would seem to justify. could
be distributed toward reduction OF
electric rates is apparent from the fact
that this S2t.4t627. which the power
company does not now get. represents.
roughly speaking. about SO per cent OF
the present total net operating income
of the power company.
The companies at the hearing in Au-
gust did not, as we have shown. dis
pute the figures OF the StatiStiCian OF
the commission. Nor did they dispute
the fact that the present arrangement
between them is at variance with the
original agreement. Admitting that the
agreement was valid and binding they

RHEUMATISM

The exact cause OF rheumatism ia un.

to be due to an excess OF uric acid In the
blood. 1t may be also said with equal
truth that no Lemedy has been found
which is a specific in all cases. In fact
the literature of rheumatism shows that
there are but few drugs which have not
been givena trial. In the bands OF one
observer we 1nd that certain drug has
been used with the utmost satisfaction:
others have found the same remedy to
be a great disappointment. All physi.
clans however agree that every method
