BY the Associsted Press.

NEW YORK, November S.-Prince
Obolensky and his princess. the
former Alice Muriel Astor, sailed for
England on the steamship Majestic
today almost as unobtrusively as they
entered the country few weeks ago.
1t was several days after they en-
tered the United States, a short time
after their London marriage, before
the presence of the prince and
princess in this country was generally
known. 1t became known only when
Mr.. and Mrs. Vincent Astor gave a
dinner in their honor. Incidentally,
it was Mrs. Astor who inadvertently
made known the royal couples de-
parture today. Her presence aboard
the Majestic. where she was bidding
the prince and princess bon voyage,
led newspaper men to the party. The
prince and his bride sought refuge in
their cabins.
Myron T. Herrick, American Am
bassador to France, made last
minute cancellation of his Majestic
reservation. 1t was understood he
would sail next Wednesday on the

LONDON, November S.-The gift to

ancient English manor house to be
used as hostel by American pilgrims
to Sulgrave Manor. the home of
George Washington's ancestors. brings
out of obscurity a woman once known

which closed with the reelection of
Gen. Grant and Greeley's tragic death.

woman could run for President even

which today cheerfully accepts for
women the enlarged horizon for which
she was fighting two generations

CUTIN LIGHT RATE
STILL UNCERTAIN
Further Effort to Be Made to
Compromise With Off,
ciaIs of Company.

Although further conferences may
be held this week between representa-
tives of the Public Utilities Commits
sion and the Potomac Electric Power
Company in an effort to agree upon
a. compromise electric light rate to
be made effective pending settlement
of the valuation case, the prospect of
such an agreement being arrived at
IS still dim.
The suggestion for a tentative COM
promise rate somewhere between the
l.67 cents per kilowatt hour fixed by
the commission and the 10 cents
actually collected by the company
was made by William Nick. Clayton
of the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations as means of discontihuin
1mpounding the difference between
the TWO rates.
No Definite Agreement.
Acting on Mr.. Clayton's suggestion,
Maj. w. Z. r. CoveII, assistant to the
cha. a.rman of the Utilities Commission

results of the conference have not

had not been abandoned and that fur
ther discussions might be had.
In the meantime officials of the
comm ssion are proceeding ith the
preparation of a tentative o. der rec
ommending a further reduction in the
rate of 7.67 cents. 1t is understood
the accountants will recommend j
rate of approximately cents.
Another Public Herring
When the recommendation is ready
another public hearing will be held
1t is expected that before that hear
ing is he it will be definitely known
whether a compromise rate is pos
Sibe.
If d compromise rate is not agreed
upon the company will continue to
collect the 10-cent rate and set aside
the difference between that sum and
the rate allowed by the commission
until the courts. settle the valuation
of the power companyS property,
which is the basis on which rates
must be fixed.
