LIGHTING REVENUE
CUT BY PROHIBITION
Potomac Company Claims New Law
Will Cause $I50,000 Loss.

Denying that the Public Utilities
Commission could proceed with the
rate hearing pending the appeal from
the valuation by the company. counsel
for the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany yesterday moved that the hear
ings to determine a fair rate to be
charged for electric current In this
city be postponed till the courts have
taken action in this matter.
Counsel also stated that the public
utilities act provided for appeal to the
courts from any decision of the COM
mission and served notice on the COM
mission that he was dissatisfied with
the order of the commission in the
valuation proceedings according to law
and that he would appeal therefrom.
The company claims that the figures
upon which the valuation is based are
erroneous, and on that ground asks a
postponement till the court decides
upon the validity of the valuation.
The company further contends that
the commission must include the cost
of franchises which the utilities act
requires to be determined.
The advance OF coal, labor and other
necessary items entering into the gen.
Grafton OF electric current had made
such advances in the past year that
the earnings would be greatly reduced.
The company claims that in the
year following the prohibition of liquor
in the District the revenues will be
reduced by nearly $15O,OO0. On the
other hand, the Utilities Commission
announces that the earnings of the
company in 1916 were more than $780,
eco in excess of what is believed to be
a fair rate of return. Questioned on
this point. high official of the Poto-
mac Electric Power Company declared
that until the items of the alleged in
crease had been checked over. tha
company would not admit this earn

SECOND REGIMENT BAND I,
BENEFIT CONCERT SUCCESS

Bismarckers will long remember the
strains of sweet music from thes29 in:
struments which compose the Second
infantry band, N. D. N. G., and which
under the direction of H. C. Bachman
gave it's first formal concert in the
capital city Saturday evening in the
Auditorium. 1E-&s' -
The members, in full uniform OF
their regiment, made a splendid ap'
pearance, and all were impressed by
the fine quality Of men which go to
make up this organization. Just be-
fore the curtain went up male quar-
tet, composed Of Private Harmon, Ma
jor C: E. Hunt, Lieut.. Orchard and
Lieut. Frame, sang, Farewell, My
Loved One,"' and ahey were followed
by d selection from the band. The
curtain was raised at the opening
strains of Meacham's march, "Amerl-
can Patrol" The singing and band
number seemed to send a current Of
patriotism through the audience.
The wonderful playing of this Or
ganization Of soldier-men, which has
only been rehearsing for three weeks,
was not lost on the representative
audience. The solo and ensemble work
exceeded all expectations. Many splen-
did climaxes were noted. Director
Bachman conducted with master
hand and got splendid results from his
men. It would be hard to say what
numbers the auditors liked best, as a
deafening applause followed each Sc
lection Rossini's overture, 'Semira-
mide," was one of the big numbers,
and was given with excellent finish.
Lampe's Uncle Toms Cabin" was an
other great favorite.
The male quartet was big hit.
For the first number they sang Parks
Until the Dawn. and the applause
was so great that they had to respond
to two encores. Even two encOres
were not enough for the audience,
and they were repeatedly called back,
only to come and acknowledge the
applause by bows. The other special
number was the solo by Miss Bayliss,
who sand Novelties keep the Home
Fires Burning" She also responded
to an encore.
Rev. George Buzzelle Of st. Georges
Episcopal church gave a most interest
ing and entertaining talk. He paid a
high compliment to our soldiers and
gave them a short message to be re-
membered when in the heat of battle.
The concert was one of the most
successful given here for some time,
and too much praise cannot be given
to the boys of the Second regiment
band and its director.
