however, and he abandoned the effort.
In the store with the proprietor and

Electric Company contends that the
Interstate Commerce Commission is
charged with the duty of fixing rules
of depreciation for the railway com
pany, but that the local commissions
jurisdiction over depreciation is not
at issue in the case of the power COM
pany.
Mr. Allen told the commission that
the per cent reduction in electric light
rates ordered last April has not made an
ings. possibly because Of increased
business.
At no time, said the secretary, has
the company's return been lower than
Z per cent since the valuation was an
nounced in 1917.
When Mr.. Ham took the stand fol-
lowing the presentation OF the COM
missions case by Allen, he declared that
upon no reasonable basis can present
rates be reduced" The existing rate
schedule, he added. is unrea sonably low
in comparison with other cities of
100000 or more inha abitants.
The president of the company read
a list OF rates In other cities, showing
that in ffty-four municipalities electric
light rates are higher than in Wash
ington.
MIR. Ham also took occasion to pro-
test against the commissions policy
or fixing fractional rates. such as
7.67 cents p.. kilowatt hour. He
the company thousands of dollars an
nually for additional clerical labor,
which is rejected in the cost of doing
business. and therefore falls even
tually upon the consumer.
The compaly'S written answer to
the commissions inquiry looking to
reduction in rates, read. in part,
as follows:
The respondent respect

ton in present rates. but, rather. that

force and on file with the commits
sion, subject to the order of the
court. be continued Until such time
as said appeal of the commission in
the valuation case has been deter
mined by the Supreme Court of the
United States"
Mr.. Ham objected to the theory of
the commission that accrued depre-
, citation should be deducted from fair
value for rate-makinS purposes. when
that depreciation money is invested in
| the property.
| After Mr.. Ham had expressed sur
! prise that the commission should ad-
/ vance such a theory. Col. Keller said
! he would like to have the attorneys
or the power company call to his at

that commission has not the au-

Passing on from the question of
depreciation. Mr.. Ham argued that
! the commission should not reduce
rates al this time because the power
company will have to finance an

BANDITS GET $129
IN FIVE HOLD-UPS

Five hold-ups here last night netted
bandits, who are still at large, $129.5O.
Three of the hold-ups were of mer-
| chants who were getting ready to
close their places of business, and the
perpetrators were masked behind
vari-colored paints.
The bandits were helped in their
escape by the failure of a telephone
operator to promptly answer a fash
ing signal of a customer in one of
the stores who was inside a tele-
phone booth. and also by a collision
of two automobiles. in one of which
was policeman pursuing the ban

by the masked men, about II o'clock.
They preceded their demand for cash
by request for cigars.

daughter of the merchant, was in the
store with her father when the trio

entered. She was backed against a
wall and guarded by one of the armed
bandits. Her father begged that his
daughter be spared, and was told
nothing would happen to her il no
outcry we're made.
Aaronoff told the police he made no
outcry, being willing to lose every
thing he had to save his child. Father
and daughter remained quiet while

ing an automobile. in which they ap-
peared at the Aaronoff store, the trio
drove to the store Of Samuel Zirker-
man, 614 Tennessee avenue northeast.
Don't be in a hurry" the merchant
was told, a gun pointed at him, and In
the next breath he was told to stick
'em up"
While one man saw that the. mer-
chant did nothing to attract attention
of others in the house or passersby,
his companions rified the cash draw
er, leaving after warning Zirkerman
that his head would be shot off If he
made an outcry.

The trio then drove to the store of
Vincent Marino, 164 Tennessee ave-
nue. northeast, where pistols were
brought into action. The merchant
and his wife were going over the
business OF the day when the three
men appeared. The wife made an ef-
fort to protect the money by starting
a struggle with one of the men, but a
threat to end her life suggested the
advisability Of abandoning her effort.
