KAISER UNDER STRAIN:
NERVOUS OVER EVENTS
Straddles Chairs, and Drinks Wine
While Saving Wood.
Wife Is III.

AMERONGEN, March 20 (by the
Associated Press)@The week of
strain following the events in Ger
many has apparently made a great
impression upon the mental and physi.
cal condition of the former German
emperor. His nervousness and sleep
lessness are increasing, and in trying
to conceal his emotion the ex-kaiser
behaves in a manner which seems ut
terly strange to the servants who
have cared for his wants since he
became an exile here.
Where formerly he drank only light
wines at mealtinae. the former mon
arch now calls for wine during the
intervals Of his wood saving. His
nervous habit of straddline chairs fa $
increased. The exile's anxiety is
heightened by the illness of his wife
who for a long time has been a suf-
ferer with mild attacks of heart dis
ease. These attacks REQUIRED fre-
Quently this week.
The only outings of the former
kaiserfn from the confinement of the
castle walls are sitting in sunshine
In the garden, where she lies in a re-
Ginning chair. She is under the al
most constant care of DR.. Foerstner,
Tor a long time her personal physi-
clan. He was at Amerongen during the
early days of the exile of the Hohen-
xollerns, but went back to Berlin
Or. Foerstner now has returned to
Amerongen.

tically to make the opera as Success

markable ability for an amateur. and

Owing to the fact that the present

to restrict the attendance of the stu

classes for whose accommodation the
balcony has been reserved These
classes are the last to have had close

pal. inasmuch as his illness preceded

PLEAS OF UTILITIES
COME Up THIS WEEK
Fight Expected From Public
on Request for Higher
Street Car Fares.

With a public hearing on the gas
rate scheduled for tomorrow and
hearing on the application of the
Washington Railway and Electro
Company for higher fare scheduled
to start Tuesday. the Public Utilities
Commission has a busy week ahead
of it.
Little opposition from the public
is expected when the Washing gton and
Georgetown Gas Light companies ask
the commission tomorrow to continue
the present rate of 95 cents thou
sand cubic feet until June I.
In it's petition to the commission
4 few days ago the Washington COM
pany, on behalf of itself ana the
Georgetown company. pointed 10 tne
rapid advance in the cost OF OIL used
in the manufacture of gas as the main
reason for asking that the present
rate be continued.
Not only is the oil used in making
gas high, but it is difficult to obtain
at a.. price, the company CONTENDS.
This is said to result from the tact
that the oil companies can sell their
product to better advantage ta. other
purposes than gas manufactL0
On the street car fare question
however, opposition is expected from
the public. The Washington Railway
and Electric is asking for straight
7-cent fare with a 2-cent charge lot
transfers. The Capital Traction Is
not asking for an increase, but Will
be a party to the hearing by order oi
the commission.
The Federation of Citizens Assocla-
tions has gone on record against any
further raise in fare TO the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company al
this time. =.
The action Of the commission in di'
rectine the Capital Traction Company
to come into the hearing is taken al
an indication that the commlssioI
still holds to the theory that whateVei
rate of fare is decided on must apply
alike to both roads.
The Washington Railway and Eiec
trio Company will present figures t.
the commission Tuesday to show tina
since the rate of four tickets for
quarter became effective November
the company has earned a return o.
only about $50 per cent on Its fail
value as fixed by the commission. TIT
company will point out that the com
mission has decided the railways ar
entitled to earn per cent on thei
valuations and that having allowed
that rate Of return, it is the commits
sion'S duty to grant rate of rare tina
will give it to the company.
The street car hearing Is expected
to last several days. A decision prob
ably will be reached before the middl'
of April, since the scent fare VIII
return on May l unless the commits
sion fixes a new rate in the meantime
Although the Housc District com
mittee is considering what Legislation
Congress could enact to relieve tn
financial troubles of the Washington
Railway and Electric and thereb,
make a merger Of the two road
possible, no indication has come from
the committee as to what form thl
legislation will take.
