CITIZENS TO DECIDE
ATTITUDE ON RATES
Public Utility Committees to
Make Known Stand on
Applications.

The public utility committees Of all
the citizens associations will meet
within a week or ten days to decide
their stand on the applications for
continuation of the present rates for
gas, electricity and street car fare.
William McC. Clayton, as chairman
of the utility committee of the Fed !
GRAFTON of Citizens Associations, will
call the conference. The plan of hav-
ing joint conference of the utility
heads Of all the organizations was
tried out prior to the last street car
hearing and resulted in united
stand against further increases in
fare
Although the Potomac Electric
Power Company. Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company and the
two gas companies are not seeking
increases at this time. the belief pre-
vailed last night that the utility com
mittees at the forthcoming confer
ence will decide to fight for some re-
ductions in rates.
VIII Ask Five-Cent Fare.
Mr.. Clayton already has made
known his intention to ask that the
Capital Traction Company be put
back to five-cent fare, with two
Genus LOT transfers. ana the w. X. q r..
to seven cents with four tokens for
rs cents.
Officials of the Capital Traction
Company admit that they could get
along with less than the present rate
of four tokens for 80 cents, but say
the company could not make a fair
return on the five-cent fare
The Capital Traction Company has
not yet announced what attitude it
will take before the commission next
month on the question of continuing
the present rate of fare, and interest
is keen on this phase of the situation.
Will Ask Gas Reduction.
It is expected the citizens associa-
tions following the proposed confer
ence will ask the commission to make
a reduction in the rate of $1.32 per
thousand cubic feet for gas sold to
private homes.
1t was made clear at the District
building a few days ago that the
will insist upon as strong
a showing of the need for continuing
the present utility rates as If the
were seeking increases.
Interest is not SO keen among the
citizens in the petition of the power
company for continuation of present
rates for current as 1t is in the rates
for gas and street car service.

Dalton told Draper that he took the
bonds because his salary was too
small: that he had asked for raise
and 1t had been refused him. He said
he was sorry that he had taken the
bonds and that lit does not pay"
Il was getting only SIS a month,
Dalton told Constable Draper. Il had

Peace Between Panama and Costa
Rica Is Foremost Thought,

Faced with the seriousness of the
situation. officials of the State DEPART.
ment began last night consideration
of steps to take in case it should be
between Panama and Costa Rica.
Official confirmation that President
Porras of Panama had gone SO far
as to sign declaration Of war was
yet lacking and from Costa Rica nc
information had been received, not
withstanding an inquiry to the Amer
lean legation.
Measures Net Deterninea.
Just what measures will be adopted
had not been determined and will
not be, 1t was said, until all the facts
are officially communicated to the
department. 1t was admitted, how
ever, that despite the awkward pre-
dicament presented in laying out any
course on the eve Of a change OF
administration. some decisive action
will be necessary il the two coun-
tries should engage in hostilities

department was prepared to issue II
IL should be necessary. 1t was re.
garded as probable that identical
messages would be sent to botl
capitals.
The information received by the
department continued last night to be
essentially the same as that con-
tanned in press dispatches.
Absence of information from the
Costa Rican capital caused govern.
ment officials here to believe it DOS
sible that the Importance Of the raid
by the Costa Ricans into the disputed
Coro district had been exaggerated
and that it might not have had gov.
ernment sanction.
Diplomatic Situation.
Diplomatically the situation pre.
sented was regarded by officials here
as far from simple. Coto is q part
of the strip of territory whose
sovereignty was determined By Chiel
Justice White, acting as an arbitei

able difficulty. Every available rife
has been issued to the volunteer
forces and national police, who have
been sent forward to Coto and Bocas
del Toro.
The belief is strongly held in Off.
cial circles that the United States
government is in duty bound to fur
nish Panaman forces with necessary
arms. since the country disarfned AFT
er completion Of the Panama canal
treaty, and has since been in a de-
fenseless condition. The dual nature
Of the obligations OF both republics
under the treaty is advanced as an
additional argument, especially in the
belief generally held that Costa Rica
is counting upon the support Of the
recently formed Union OF Central
American Republics.
The Panaman government is urging
upon the Canal Zone authorities and
the United States legation here the adj
visibility Of recommending that the
United States War Department ia
sue the necessary war materials. and
has expressed confidence that such
recommendation will be forwarded to
Washington. The United States le-
cation is still without instructions
from Washington.
