HAS TREMENDOUS TASK
IN GATHERING UP MINES
q. S. Navy Finds Problem ir
Sweeping North Sea of $4,000
Highly Sensitive Explosives.

LONDON. September 5 Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).-The
American Navy is having tre-
mendous task in sweeping the North
sea of the $4,000 electrical and highly
sensitive mines they planted there.
Explosion by electricity is the method
now employed. Some were sunk very
deep-as deep as a submarine could
go.
Each mine was fitted with antennae
suspended by floats. SO that the huge
field was not only charged with mines,
but had also become a mass of sensi-
tive feelers to explode them. Should
a submarine come in contact with
an antennae the mine at a short dis
tance away at the end of the antennae
would explode.
The problem has been to explode
the mines far enough away from the
sweeper to insure safety and also
to forestall the danger of the ex-
plosion of a mine at a safe distance.

About seventy five vessels are en-

O. I. Yellott, formerly connected
with the public service commission of
Maryland, outlined to the local util-
tiles commission yesterday afternoon
a number of big improvements, which.
he said, the Washington Railway and
Electric Company must undertake in
the near future.
To make these improvements, he
said, the company will have to get a
large amount of new capital and it
cannot attract this capital without a
higher rate OF return on investments.
No speculator, the witness con-
tinued, would put money in the COM
pany to make these improvements,
which leaves the company to depend
type of investor is to be attracted, Mr..
Yellott stated, the rate of return must
be higher than the present rate Of 6
per cent
Among the improvements which he
said would soon have to be made and
which will require the new capital.
he mentioned new rolling stock. paw
ing of tracks, additional facilities
for power distribution, new and
larger barns and to rebuild the Eek
ington barn, which was damaged by
fire several months ago.
When members of the commission
questioned the witness as to their
right to grant one company a higher
rate of return than another, Mr.
Yellott replied that he believed a COM
pany should be allowed as much re-
turn as it needed in order to live and
that if one company in Washington
required more to live than another
company, IT should be allowed more.
