TELEPHONE SITUATION

The Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company have before
the Corporation Commission of
The State of Virginia petition
asking that it be allowed to adj
vance the rates and tolls for tel
cplione service not only over the
prc-war rates, but over the rates
which obtained during the period
the telephone service was handl-
cd by the postmaster general for
the government.
The company allcge that dur
ing the year 1918, it did not
earn its interest or dividend
charges in fact, did not earn
enough to pay its operating ex-
pcnscs, and that even the in
creased rates fixed by the post
masler-gencral on May /, 1919,
does not assure it adequate rev
enue.
1t therefore asks; That ii be
allowed to collect telephone rem
tails IN advance monthly--that it
be permitted to increase the
monthly rental for each telc-
phone SOC montll-that the
toll charges practically as they
now exist may remain in effect

which brought the subject before the

Senator Robinson took up in detail

HAWKER DECLARES
ANE R|CAN FLIGHT
NOT A CAME ONE.
British Flyer Who Failed De-
preCiateS Work Of Ameri-
cans Who Succeeded; Re-
marks Received in Silence,
LsY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL .sAsso wrsEl


London, May rs (by The Associated
Press) speaking at a luncheon given
by the Daily Mail today in his and
Lieutenant Commander Grieves hon
or, Harry G. Hawker deprecated the
organization which had won for the
United States the honor of first cross
ing of the Atlantic by heavier than
air machine. He declared it was not
a serious attempt, with a ship sta
toned at every twenty yards"
Hawker continued:
IF you put a ship every fifty miles
it shows you have no fight in your
motor
This remark was met with abso-
Lutte silence by those at the luncheon,
numbering between 250 and 800, near
ly all of whom were British. A few
minutes before they had cheered
heartily the statement that the Am
orican navy aviators had been success
full in reaching Europe.
Hawker disclosed that Saturday
night, Immediately preceding his start
he and Raynham had agreed that un-
less the wind changed they would
start Sunday for flight by way of
the Azores and Portugal The wind
Veered slightly Saturday night, enough
TO give Hawker and Grieve the chance
to start from their airdrome; but it
was unfavorable for Raynham.
He declared that although tho
weather was unfavorable, the success
of the Americans in reaching the
Azores induced him to start.
ANY Englishman here" he added,
would have done the same thing UNI
der the same circumstances"
Lieutenant Commander Grieve said
he was very nervous over his naviga
ton abilities when he started. but
soon ascertained that the navigation
of an airplane was the same as of
ship. There were no difficulties until
the clouds precluded the taking of
