Regulation by the Public Utilities
Commission Of fees for extension of
electric current service conduits to
prospective users was urged at the
frst session Of the hearing at the
Ditrict building yesterday to deter
mine whether excessive rates are
charged by the Potomac Electric

George z. Sullivan, attorney ror
the complaining residents, contend

q general rule that would lay down
a definite system of fixing rates.
Chairman Rutz. of the Public

might be done. ]. s. Barbour, attor-

as to the practicability of such a
plan.

Rosa herself took no part in the
discussion. for Il did not rreati,
matter to her whether she stayed or
went.
Misery spread desperation at last:
Evangelina's courage failed her. ano
she allowed herself to be won over.
She began her preparations by dis
guising Rosa. Gathering herbs and
berries. she made q stain with which
she colored the girls face and body.
then she sewed q bundle of leaves
into the back of Rosa's waist so
that when the latter stopped her
shoulders and walked with a stick
her appearance of deformity was
complete.
On the night before their depar-
ture Rosa Varona prayed long ana
earnestly. asking little for herself,
but much for the two black people
who had suffered SO much for her,
She prayed also that o'Reiiiy would
come before 1t was too late.

the change in her appearance only
by studying her reflection from the
