CITIZENS MAY HEAR
| PHONE OFFICIALS
Federation Talks of Having
Special Session Devoted to
Rate Question.

| Officials Of the Chesapeake and Poto-
mac Telephone Company may be invited
to special meeting of the Federation
Of Citizens Associations to explain why
they believe telephone rates should be
| increased at this time,
w. b. Westlake. president of the
federation. Is discussing with members
of the organization the ACCESSIBILITY of
| calling a special meeting for that pur-
pose. The federation held similar
meeting some time ago on the street car
problem. to which the officials of the
two railway companies were invited.
Mr.. CInyton's Successor.
Mr.. Westlake has not decided on the
man ne VIII name as chairman Of the
public utilities committee OF the fedora
ton to succeed William Nick. Clayton,
who resigned last week after years of
diligent service
Mr.. Westlake will enteavor to name
the chairman before the telephone hear
ing opens on May 6. SO that the new
utilities director can represent the citi-
zens at that hearing
Forty-fve thousand letters were
sent out by the telephone company to
its subscribers today. reciting the
facts on which the company bases
its request for higher rates. With
each letter was pamphlet showing
the financial condition of the COM
pany.
The company tells its patrons that
since 1916 wages of employees have
advanced IS per cent and since 1914
materials used in the telephone bust
ness have gone up 80 per cent
The company sets forth in the
pamphlet that. while some utilities
are permitted to earn return Of
per cent on valuation, it has asked
the utilities commission for rates that
will result only in a return of AIS
per cent on the fair value of the
property.
Telephone subscribers are told that
without proper revenue the company
cannot make the extensive additions
to the service necessary in fast
growing community. In explanation
of this claim the telephone company
states:
For every hundred net gain in
telephones in Washington there are
approximately 400 new telephones in
stalled and 800 discontinued Sup
pose the company stopped taking new
subscribers. The discontinuance
would result in such a diminution of
the total telephones in the system as
TO seriously impair the value Of the
service to the subscriber. To meet
these demands requires constant use
of new capital, and yet it is an obli-
cation which the company cannot
ignore"

EPSON Downs, Eng, June 30.-The

its hundred and fifty years with an at

course to standing capacity n popu-

racing was only an incident in the
celebration of the annual festival.
My lord and my lady. the barmaid
and the coster-mcncer, and all classes
of Britons between. were there, hob

other lands-Amcricans. Frenchmen,
Belgians, Italians, Russians. Czecho-

low green hills and hedged-in fields

day, apparently u~nconcerned about
the Derby contest.
The pilgrimage to the downs be-

unbroken tide of strange equipages
flowed into EPSON over all roads.
Luxurious limousincs crawled along
crowded ways IN the wake OF two
wheeled donkey carts. and the. cara
vans were checkered with the pictures.
que turn-outs popular before motor
driven vehicles limited their useful

the Irish jauntins car. the dog cart.

dust in motor-driven wheel chairs.

the later arrivals were forced by the
congestion to park their vehicles and
withdrawing with them their lunch

whiskey, Of which there was a large
and carefully conserved supply.
The %picnickers who campcd on the
course overnight hastily pitched tents,
or ramshackle leantos, made tea and
served luncheons. Many slept in the
open. and down in EPSON a train of
cars was commandeered to house tho

countryside was Enthusiastically illum-

Even when the king and the queen
and attendant nobility appeared there
was only a ripple Of applause, con-
sisting chiefly of perfunctory "Hear,

%rancious cries of the tipsters and the
hoarse jargon of the bookmakera
could be heard.
Few persons except those in the
stands saw the races, and these dis
played no excitement. beyond calling
out 'thy're off" or making premature
