WILL FIX HEARING DATE.
Utilities Commission to Meet This
Afternoon,

The Public Utilities Commission
will meet this afternoon to fix the
date for a public hearing on the
latest application of the Washington
Rapid Transit Co. for a straight 10
cent fare on its bus line
Although the commission earlier In
the year turned down several re-
quests for such an increase, the COM
pany will contend at this hearing
that continued operation at the pres
ent rate has strengthened its
claim that 10 cent straight fare is
necessary. The date for the hearing
probably will be some time during
the last week of November
1t is not expected that the COM
mission will take any further steps
at today's meeting in the electric
light rate case. The tentative new
schedule of the electric rate, on which
a public hearing soon will be held is
not yet ready for publication by the
commission.

gineer regiments are almost COM
pleted. and the other five at least
preparing to organize. Only one Of
the four National Guard cavalry di-
visions has as yet organized its en-

Restriction on Federal recognition
of additional guard units has been the
only reason for delay IN completing

COLORED ARTISTS PLAY.
Olyve Jeter and Felix F. Weir
Well Received.

Weir, violinist, colored musicians.
gave the first in series of recitals
at the Lincoln Theater yesterday aft
ernoon.
Olyve Jeter has a fine touch and
shows evidence of sound technical
training. Her ability to infuse dra-
matte coloring into her interpreta-
tions made the rather simple melody
of "Barcarolle," "a work by the noted
colored composer, Nathaniel Dett, a
feature of the program. She also
played Chopin's "Etude, opus 90. No
T.; Cyril ScOtt's Lotus Land "Harle-
quin," by Harvey Worthington
Loomis. and Leschetizky's Inter
mezZo in Octaves." She proved a gifted
aCcompanist in her work assisting
the violinist in his numbers
Felix Weir showed consider rable
feeling and tone-coior in Kreisler's
Caprice Niennois" and "Tambourin
Chinois" and the ever popular "Hu-
moresque" of Dvorak's. He did not
seem sufficiently sure of his double
stopping to make Sarasate's Spanish
Dance and SChuberts Ave Maria"
effective as the other numbers The
program opened with the first move
ment of MoZart's Concerto in E fiat"
for violin.

matte interests of it's 12,S13 inhab-
itants. 1t was also pointed out by
him that such honors are usually
granted to persons who disting guish
themselves by their benefcence to-
ward the republic.
Secretary Gosi also reminded the
correspondent that San Marines hon
ors are not for sale, but suggested
that donations by foreigners OF NOR
al character amounting, for instance.
to $500 to San Marino charity or pub
lie works, might be so appreciated
that the grand council would be dis
posed to consider bestowing high
honors upon the donors.
Two Orders Granted.
The republic grants two orders
the Knighthood of San Marino and
the Order of St. Agatha. The former
is in recognition of political and
charitable services; the latter is for
artistic and scientific contributions.
The knighthood has four grades cor
responding to the muniticence Of the
service rendered.
San Marino, which has been an in
dependent republic for nearly 900
years, is situated on the peak OF a
rocky mountain near Rimini and is
Inhabited by stonecutters, shepherds
and vegetable gardeners. They are
