WILL ALSO
TAKE Up
LIGHT
RATE
Figures on Financial Status
of Utilities Prepared-Pub-
lie Hearings Probable.

The possibility of a reduction
in street car fares and the rates
charged for electricity in Wash
ington, will be considered next
week at the meeting of the
Public Utilities Commission, Maj.
]. Franklin Bell, Engineer Com
missioner, said today.
Figures showing the financial
condition Of every public utility
in the District have been pre-
pared by Walter C. Allen, execu-
tive secretary of the commission,
and will be placed before the
meeting to be studied.
PepcO Is PrOspering.
1t appeared likely today that a
public hearing would be ordered
next week. to consider a reduction
of rates of the Potomac Electric
Power Company. This corporation
during 1928 earned a return Of S.S7
per cent, an increase of 80 per
cent over 1922. The percentage re-
turn of this company for 1923 was
greater than the return of any
other utility in Washington.
If the Commissioners decide to
order a public hearing to consider
street car rates, the question of
separate rates of fares on the lines
of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company and the Capital
Traction Company will be taken up.
Major Bell said today he was in
terested in the separate fare pro-
posal and would like information
as to the effect it would have ON
the two railway companies here If
1t were ordered by the Commission.
He said he was also anxious to
know whether two fares might aid
in bringing about a merger of the
two companies.
Two Hearings Listed.
Two hearings are now on the Com
missions schedule. One is on the
petition of the Washington Rapid
Transit Company for an increase in
face from to 10 cents, and the
other on a reduction in rates of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company. Both hearings will be
held this month.
No hearing on the question Of
rates of the Washington and George
town Gas Light Companies is likely
at this time inasmuch as only re-
Gently the Commission ordered a
lowering of rates of these COM
panies.

liver four quarts to an exclusive
apartment house in Mt. Pleasant.
When Abramson. with his nephew
Benjamin Abramson. twenty-five
arrived at the apartment house,
they were placed under arrest.
Sergeant McQuade and Lieuten.
ant Davis took the keys to the
tailor shop, which is located at
1904 Connecticut avenue north
west. There they found, it is al
legged the case of gin. When they
searched Abramson's residence, the
vice squad said they discovered
the thirty gallons Of wine, brandy
and other varieties Of intoxicants.
Wife and Daughter Faint.
Mrs. Abramson, wife Of the ar
rested man, and his nineteen-year'
old daughter, tainted. the police
said, while the search was in prog

following their revival they learned
Of the arrest.

SOC|E TIES
BACK Of
PLEA
DIsrespect to Wilson Memory
Urged as Sufficient for
Recall.

With protests and demands
for the recall Of DR.. Otto Wied-
feldt, acting German ambassa-
dor, arriving at the State De-
partment from all parts of the
country, leaders of national pa
triotic organizations III Washing
ton today planned to ask Presi-
dent Coolidge to cause the re-
moval of the envoy.
Flag Incident Stressed.
Complaint is made because Weld
feldt refused to lower the embassy
flag in respect to the late Woodrow
Wilson, and half-staffed the banner
on the afternoon Of the funeral only
after vigorous protest had been
made by the American Legion.
Representatives of the legion, the
eracy and the Daughters of the
American Revolution planned to pre-
sent their request to the President
today. A conference among the
leaders Of the various organizations
in the forenoon resulted in post:
ponement of the proposed visit to
the White House until early next
week.
1t was thought that the delega-
tion should be Of impressive pro-
portions and responses from organi-
cation officers who are now out Of
the city are expected. The original
plan was that the delegation gather
In Franklin Square shortly before
noon and march TO the White
House.
Recall Is Demanded.
District Commander Paul J. Nc
Gahan is in charge of the Ameri-
can Legion activities. He made
protest to the embassy, in the name
Of his organization, on Wednesday,
resulting in the belated recognition
of the late War President.
Mrs. James H. Boggs, of the
Rockingham apartments, is repre-
eenting the United Daughters of
the Confederacy which, at meeting
yesterday, adopted resolution call
ing upon the President to ask Wied-
feldt's removal and to give him "as
much time as the President deems
necessary to leave this country,
never to return" in me interest
that "our country, our flag and
our citizens shall be respected"
Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, presi.
dent general Of the D. A. r., in
tends to delegate some other off
cial of the organization to go to
the White House.
It was said at the State Depart.
ment todDy that a great number of
protests against Wiedfeldt's action
In connection with the Wilson fu.
neral, have been received.
When the embassy was first
asked why 1t did not lower the flag
on learning Of the former Presi.
dents death, Wiedfeldt sent out
word that Wilson was regarded as
Q private citizen," and therefore
his death was not entitled to such
recognition.

WILSON LIVES THROUGH
LEAGUE, DECLARES RABBI

Characterizing Woodrow Wilson
as. the schoolmaster in the White
House who interpreted America to
her own people and to the world,
DIR. Abram Simon told the Wash.
ington Hebrew congregation at the
Eighth Street Timple last night
that Wilson was not dead.
1.-THE League Of Nations still lives
and it's influence and morals have
spread to all corners of the earth" !"
he declared. 1T is like the voice
of Wilson speakingg to the earth
and whether we like It or net, the
stable condition of Europe is due
to the League of Nations"
Declaring that time alone would
prove the greatness of the former
President, DR.. Simon likened him
to a great mountain whose great
ness could be observed only from q
distant view and not ct the base.
