President Ham Thinks Reten-
ton of Present Price for
Electricity Necessary.

The Potomac Electric Power Com
pany will not voluntarily consent to a
reduction in the rates for electricity after
September /. William F. Ham. president
of the company. indicated today. Mr..
Ham was not in a position to state def
nitely what rates the company would
ask for at the public hearing to be held
at the District building at 80 o'clock
Monday. July Is. Asked if the company
would seek to have the present rates
continued. the president said
We will not be able to ask for less
than the existing rates"
Present Rate for Homes.
At the present time the private homes
of the city are paying 10 cents per kilo-
watt hour for current. The legal rate
fixed by the commission Is y. cents.
The remaining I y cents goes into n
separate fund to be held. pending set
tlement Of the company's valuation by
the higher courts.
The power company's valuation is
now before the Court of Appeals. 1t
is generally conceded that the sutt
will go to the United States Supreme
Court, regardless of who wins in the
appellate tribunal.
II the highest court sustains the
value placed on the company's prop
erty by the Utilities Commission the
money which has been collected in
excess of the eight-and-ah half-cent
rate will be returned to the users Of
current. If the company wins it will
keep the impounded fund. Nearly So
OOO, 900 has accumulated in this fund
since the valuation suit began several
years ago.
Fixes Date Of Hearing.
In the past the Utilities Commission
has waited until the receipt of petit
ton from the various companies be-
fore fixing the dates for public hear
ings. This time, however, the COM
mission has announced without re-
ceiving applications from the corpo-
rations that the rates for gas. cleo
tricity. telephone and street car serv-
ice will be inquired into before the
end of July. Mr.. Ham said today he
has construed this to mean that the
commission is instituting the investi-
CATION and that the power company
will not have to state it's position
until the date of the hearing:
The telephone company Will hle a
petition within a few days asking for
continuation of it's existing rates.
This was announced in The Star sew
eral days ago.
The gas company also will file a
petition within a week or ten days.
The company is considering the pos
sibility of asking for a voluntary re-
duction in its rate per thousand cubic
feet for gas.

Prostrations in New York.

NEW YORK, July 4.-Terrific heat.
coupled with oppressive humidity, yes
terday caused several heat prostra-
tions and drove the greater part of
the city's population to the beaches.
The weather bureau reported a tenn
perature of 81 degrees, which con-
tinued from after 9 until 6 o'clock,
while the humidity hovered between
so and 55.
Police estimates placed the attend
ance of three Long Island beaches at
nearly 100000. At Coney Island.
after every available waterfront
bathhouse was filled. the crowds
stormed the pools until the police
were called out to restore order. 1t
was estimated that 100000 of the 400,-
900 visitors went into the ocean. The
police reported 106 lost children dur
ing the afternoon.

END OF HOT WAVE
NOT YET IN SIGHT
Slight Hope Held, However,
That Relief Will Soon
Come.

Going into its third week. no relief
was expected from the heat wave to-
day or tonight by the weather bureau.
Tomorrow, the weather man said, he
might be able to hold out a little hope.
as the forecast calls for partly cloudy
weather with thundershowers then.
From his optimistic tone of voice. 1t
would seem that the local forecaster
has something up his sleeve" but he
resolutely refused to go further in the
matter until tomorrow.
A general prediction calls for a
break in the heat wave In the north
Atlantic states, the upper lake region
and the Ohio valley.
The District may come in on this. as
the central Atlantic states border on
the northern. and the drop in tenn
perature may ooZe over.

LITTLE ROCK
 NEWS LETTER

Little Rock,-Al,h ,hough man. kind is prone to complain of hard times and an inability to raise money for any purpose, it is daily demonstrated that when they are forced to do so, there are few who fail. The people al so naturally complain against the payment of taxes and there is probably no tax system in the world, however light the bur- den imposed, which meets with proper approval.
 All ol which is introductory to the statement that there has been a most remarkable increase in the amount of taxes paid the Federal Government by the people of Arkansas during the last few years in 1897 when II. l.. Remmel was collector of internal revenue for the state, the total amount of taxes col lectcd was $30,000 for the year, consisting chiefly of tax on the sale of liquor. The Spanish American war came on with it's debt, which had, to be borne by the people and this increased the Federal tax in Arkansas to a. bout $400,000 a year which was considered a very large sum.
 But it was scarcely a beglnn- ing. The people of Arkansas had not yet learned what is 1t to pay taxes. They did not know their full capacity. Little did they dream at the time that within few years they would be pay ing more than 30 times as huch annually as they did ill 1899. The World War taught our peo- pie many things, among which is the ability to give liberally, if not willingly, and to support humanitarian movements and a. gencies with their treasure. But one of the greatest lessons of the war is that the war incurred tremendous debts which must be paid and the people must pay them. For the year 1920, the people of Arkansas paid in round numbers, $15,000,000 through the office of the U. s. Collector of Internal Revenue. The old llq- uor tax has l ong since been thrown into the discard, but oth- CT taxes have taken it's place, chief among which as revenue

GOVERNOR REFUSES
 PRYOR ACQUISITION

Governor McRae yesterday re fused to honor a Missouri re- quisition for Luke E. Pryor, a West Point farmer, who S charged in St. Louis with frau du'ently obtaining S55,00O from E. Mason Roberts of St. Louis in deal involving stock trans fers in the American Automobile and Supply Company of St. Louis.
 The governor said that the matter was one to be handled in the civil courts and that after the money question had been settled, he will take up the re- qulsition again, if it is desired.
 It was said that Pryor rep nssented to Roberts that his ear- nings from the stock disposed of amounted to $3,0O0 a month, but that his farming interests needed his attention and that he preferred to dispose of the stoM Roberts, 1t was said, gave Pryor $4O,000 in notes and $15, ,0O0 equity in farm. The hearing was held before the governor some time ago.
