British Guwdsmen Start

LONDON, Feb. %. - British
guardsmen are beginning to grow

THIS WAY. MIR. RICHARD.

We joyously call the attention Of
Mr., TEX RICHARD, promoter of
pugilistic bouts, to the record of Mr..
HENRY DARNEILLE who, a few
days ago, with some assistance from
brother and friend, cleaned up the
whole town of Capitol Heights, Md,
and even then, according to his own
version, was "just fooling," having
no thought of real" fight.
Mr.. Darneille and his assistants
are acclaimed by Washington den
lists, who will be engaged for some
time in replacing the teeth broken
from the mouths of bystanders.
We do not wish to see Mr.. Richard
overlook anything which will promote
his financial prospects. He is now
looking around for a match for MON
steur Carpenter and also one for
Monsieur Dempsey, A man Who Is
able, in half dozen rounds, to clean
up an entire town. leaving teeth,

wake ought to be able to give a
good accounting with either CArpen-
tier or Dempsey.
Which brings us to the fact that

PROFITS To
Be PROBED
Commission, Urged to Extend
Present Tariff, Will Sift
company's Earnings.

The Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Comnany today petitioned
the Public Utilities for permission
to continue the present high rates
for telephone service.
DECLARES RETURN UNJUST.
The petition declares that the COM
[ pany, even under the present rates,
is earning a return on its invest
ments, which is not proporuonate to
| capital involved
The attitude of the commission in
dicates that the telephone company
will experience difficulty in putting
through this rate continuance. The
commission is not the least bit in
clned to keep up high rates for serv-
lee for any utility corporation.
! During the past year, the petition
states, the company's total revenues
reached s4,SS5, 1858, and it's expenses
of operation were $4,224,4s3.26, leav-
ing q balance of s660.973.5S.
Certain adjustments during the past
year reduced the earnings of the COM
pany to 1921 ,644.12.
According to the petition. this
! profit represents return below per
cent on the Investment The com
peny contends this rate of return is
much lower than that nxed as rea-
J sonable by numerous regulatory
bodies of high authority. and much
lower than the commission itself has
,declared just and reasonable.
BOARD TO PROBE EARNINGS.
When the company appears before
the Commission an exhaustive in
CURRY will be made. The Commission
will lay special stress on the A per
cent paid out OF the gross earnings
to the parent company. the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company.
Inquiry will also be made into cost
of keeping up Monroe Courts, where
operators are housed The company
is spending more than 100000 a year
at Monroe.
In a recent statement A e. Berry,
president of the local company de-
clared that failure to Keep UP Mon
roe Courts would result in telephone
service going far below the standard
1--WE have been unable to secure
