DENY PHONE RATE RAISE.
Maryland Officials Refuse Petition
of C. e. P. Co.

BALTIMORE, December 2e.-The
State Public Service Commission re-
iected the plea of the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Co. for increas sed
telephone Rates throughout Maryland
and ordered the existing rates main
tanned in a decision handed down to-
day.
The commission says the company's s
proposed scale OF increased rates is
unjust and unreasonable and would
constitute an unfair burden upon the
te'"nhone users of the State.
The decision is bassed upon the
commissions finding that the Chesa-
peake x Potomac Telephone Co. is
not n separate company but is merely
an intergral part of the American
Telephone & Telegraph Co.
The present rates are continued for
two years.
Dozier A. de Vanc, general counsel
Of the telephone company, said the
company would either cut the Mary
land telephone service or appeal to
the courts. Decision as to which
course would be made later, he said.

PAY SUSPENSION
by M'CARL BLOCKED
Writ Denied Against Injunc-
ton Pending Review of
Navy Controversy.

J. Raymond McCarl, controller gem
eral of the United States, was defeat
ed today in his effort to withhold the
pay of naval officers pending review
by the Court of Appeals of the deci-
sion of Justice Hoehling of the Dis
trict Supreme Court granting an in
junction against the retention of pay
Of the officers. McCarl asked the
Court of Appeals for writ of super
sedeas, which would have the effect
of holding the Injunction in abeyance
Until the case was heard In the ap-
pellate court The Court of Appeals
denied the application.
Commander John T. Cox, Z. s. N,
brought the suit for injunction
againt Secretary of the Navy Wilbur.
Controller McCarl and Paymaster
Larkford to prevent retention of 20
per cent of his pay to reimburse the
Government fer dlsallowed payments
for dependents. Secretary wilbur
answered the suit and declared that.
while he did not agree with the ac-
ton of Controller McCarl, he had
ordered the Withholding of 20 per
cent of the officers pay as a COM
promise when McCarl wished to re-
tain the whole salary of the officer
until the supposed debt to the United
states was repaid. McCarl insisted
on his view of the law and asserted
the court had no Jurisdiction to en-
join him.
Justice Hoehling held that Congress
fixed the pay of the officers and the
controller had no authority to with
hold any part of it to offset a claim
OF the Government.

faces of Detectives Berry and Ogle of

streets, within a few yards of Juvenile
Court Building.
The chase paralyzed traffic. Berry

heading east with such speed that
one rear tire went wabbling away to

That didn't stop the tru6k k. The
driver shot more gas into the motor
and tore away on three good wheels
and one bare rim. This is where he
first opened the smoke screen. ac-
cording to the police. Through the
dense smoke, while pedestrians and
motorists stood gaping and street
cars jammed on brakes to avoid COL
lisions, went the pursuers after the
fugitives.
Passing down New York avenue to
Seventh street, the truck slowed
down just bit. Out hoped one OF
the tHn men. out hoped Ogle from

driver jumped out and disappeared
down a nearby alley. He got away.
Police think they'll get him back.
The machine was towed back to

the police there, 1t was evidently
being used the first time. The cargo
constituted 15 cases of alleged corn

900 File AdUa,1ce for World Flight
Chief, 500 for Three Others Asked

Capt Smith would equal approxi-
mately 13 years of service in the
line of captains. and would place
him among officers of the grade
whose names appear on the pro-
motion list for majorities. The
advancement in files given the
three. lieutenants approximates
four years service, and places
their names high on the list of first
lieutenants.
Secretary Weeks explained to-
day that the advancements pro-
posed for the officers and for Og-
den and Harding would be the
greatest ever given in peace time,
and would be comparable to the
promotion given Gen. Pershing in
time of war.
In addition the regular retire
ment provisions of the Army could
be set aside in the case of the six
men, and they could be retired on
their own request at any time
with the rank and pay allowance
of the next higher grade than that
held at the time.

MARYLAND SHARES
IN LIGHT RATE CUT
Nearby Suburbs, With 5000
Consumers, Benefit-Do
Not Get Refund.

The Potomac Electric Power Com
pany announced today that the re-
duction in rate for household cur
rent from 10 cents to az cents a
kilowatt hour will be extended to its
5000 consumers in nearby Maryland
suburbs as result of it's agreement
reached with the Utilities Commits
sion Saturday.
Maryland consumers, however. will
not share in the distribution of the
approximately s2,S0O,0O0. representing
the public's share of the impounded
fund which accumulated during the
seven years OF litigation. officials
explain that this Is because Maryland
was not involved in the court suit
under which the impounding fund ac-
cumuiated.
The reduced rate within the Dis
trict of Columbia will apply to all
meter readings taken in January. 1t
was said. however. that the reduc-
tion in nearby Maryland probably
would not be applicable until Feb
ruary.
Big bookkeeping Task.
As soon as the District Supreme
Court signs the decree providing for
the distribution of the impounded
pendous task of finding out how much
is coming to each individual.
One official of the company said to-
day that from rough calculations he
has made the amount to be returned
to consumers will not fall much
under 10 cents on the dollar paid
since the impCunding began in 1917.
A glimpse into the bookkeeping vault
of the power company today furnished a
vivid picture of the enormity Of the task
confronting the company in returning
the money due it's $4,000 consumers as
a result of the settlement.
Must Consult 200 Books.
There are four sets of ledgers. totaling
about 100 volumes, containing the ac-
counts since 1917.
Each of the four sets of books covers
one period of the seven years, and the
separate volumes represent geograp phical
neighborhoods and not an alphabetical
listing of customers.
1t will be necessary. therefore, for
clerks to go through all of the books
and bring together from each set the
amount of money due each individual.
But before this work is begun it
will first be necessary to write into
the ledgers the amount of impounded
money due each customer for the last
Il months.
Extra Work Involved.
In April, 1921, the commission
ordered a slight reduction in the cleo
tric light rate, which was not ratified
by the court. The company, not
knowing whether that reduction
would be made effective in the end,
set aside the necessary amount for
impoundings in a lump sum, but did
not enter the individual proportion
after each account.
1t will require about two months
to enter on the books this impound-
ing for the past 81 months before the
calculating for the entire period be-
gins
