ating a French army officer.
Madam Storeh who is known as the

their apprehension advisable. They
were halted at Key West and returned
here, where they continued under sur
yeilliance.
The other two suspects are known
!! as Madame Elizabeth Charlotte Nix
and Count Robert de Clairmont.
Count de Clairmont, the authorities
said, frequently was seen in the COM

"Nay. nay! For she said nay Shall

The temptation was terrific to ask
why she had given that order, but King
resisted it; and presently it occurred
to the Pathan that his own theories on
the subject might be Of interest.
"She will use thee for reward" he
said. ''He who shall win and keep her
favor may have his hurts dressed and
his belly dosed. Her enemies may rot"
"DOes she call the mullah Muham-
mad Amin enemy?" King asked him.
"Nay, she never mentions him by
name."

be the necessity for general increase in rates If
service to be extended to meet the increased
demands of wartime activities.

mnstration will interest itself street railway

portion Of the secretary's letter is as follows
Feb. Is. 1918.
Dear Mr. President
beg to hand you herewith several memoranda
and letters relating to street railway and other
local public utilities furnishing light heat. and
power. which have been asked to bring to your
attention by a committee representing public utili
ty interests
These papers indicate the existence OF genuine
apprehension regarding the adequacy. under pres
ent conditions. of the services and rates Of local
public utilities. The view is expressed that in
creased wages and the high cost OF essential ma
terias and supplies have affected them they
have affected everybody else, and that united eff
fort will be necessary in order to meet alike the
public requirements for service and the corporate f.
nancal needs upon which that service depends.
