MAKING 10
PER CENT
Rapid Transit Co., Under
Liberal Valuation, Earn
ing Big Profits

The Washington Rapid Transit
Co. has been making at least 10
per cent on liberal valuation
figure since the beginning Of this
year, it was disclosed today.
While other utilities in the Dis
trict Of Columbia are allowed a
return of slightly more than z
per cent, the bus line has been
receiving a profit nearly three
times that of the other utilities,
with a fare ranging from Is to
40 per cent in excess of the
charges of the two street car
companies.
Up TO Utilities Board
Disclosure of the profits enjoyed
by the bus company places the is
sue squarely before the Uub.ic IT'LL
tiles Commission for that body to
fix valuation and profits in other
utilities operating in the District.
This high return Of the Wash
ington Rapid Transit Company Is
based on figures which are cousid-
cred by utilities experts as conser-
vative. The valuation placed on the
property of the bus concern is held
to be liberal and in all probability
higher than would be allowed by
the Public Utilities Commission If
that body were to make a survey
OF the bus company.
No valuation has yet been placed
on the Washington Rapid Transit
Company by the commission for the
purpose of fixing a fair RETURN
IucOme For Past Seven Months.
Records of 4he income of the
company submitted to the Public
Utilities Commission each month
show that for the first six months
ot this year the net corporate in
come, by which the percentage of
return is estimated, totaled $42, 1857.
The July report showed a deficit of
$1,82O.98, which is said not to be
unusual for midsummer carrier
business. Deducting the deficit,
the net corporate income for the
first seven months of 1925 is still
Sal, 074.99.
Allowing the company the month
Of deficit to estimate an annual
income, the not return is still
at least twice what would be al
lowed by an official valuation.
Hams Valuation, $S83,785
At a recent meeting William F.
Ham. president of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company
an admitted public utilities expert,
gave the transit company a total
valuation of $383,785. In this be
included 12h per cent for "gOing
value" Estimating a return on
the income for February, March,
April and May, Mr.. Ham showed
the utilities comm ssion that the
bus company for these four months
made 8 per cent on valuation
of $1,377, 900, or slightly more than
38 per cent on the valuation
which he gave the concern.

SHIPPING STRIKE
IMPERILS ISLANDERS

SYDNEY, N. S. W.. Aug. "a
One consequence Of the Australian
shipping strike is the danger OF
famine to a number OF South Sea
islands.
These islands depend on Australia
for supplies of food, which are
generally received in small consign-
Inents, because the island climates
are unsuited to long storage, thus
the cancellation Of only a few trips
is important. ~
The islands chiefly concerned
are the Solomons. the New Heb

Carl c. Magee
Ry InternatIonel SCI servlee

EAST Las. VEGAS, n M. Aug.
20. Carl @. Magee, newspap er
editor, who several months D
gained nationwide notoriety in
q New Mexico criminal libel case,
is lodged in jail this morning after
shooting and killing John B. Las
sitter, an employee in a local hotel,
last night.
The shooting, according to eye
witnesses, resulted from a fist
fight between Magee and former
District Judge David j. Leahy, in
whose court Magee was sentenced
to six months imprisonment.
Judge Started Fight
According to witnesses, former
Judge Leahy walked into the hotel
lobby where Magee was in CONVEX
sation with friends and began pun
melting him. After he had been
Knocked to the floor by Leahy
Magee drew his revolver and fired
two shots. One of the bullets struck
Lassiter and the other wounded
Leahy in the arm. Magee was
taken into custody by Sheriff Lor-
EMO Delagado, of San Miguel
county, and lodged in jail. No
charge as yet has been placed
against him.
Magee is the editor of the New
Mexico State Tribune at Albu-
querque and former editor of the
Albuquerque Morning Journal, and
in the 1924 Democratic primary
convention was a candidate for the
United States Senate.
During the famous Teapot Dome
investigation Magee gained con-
siderable publicity through his tes-
timony.
In 1923 Magee was hailed before
Judge Leahy after an alleged crimi-
nal attack in an editorial against
former Chief Justice j. w. Parker,
of the supreme court. Six months
Imprisonment was imposed on Ma
gee for this offense, but he was
pardoned by Governor James F.
Hinkle, then chief executive of
the State.
In July, 1924, Judge Leahy hailed
the Albuquerque editor before his
court because he criticized the
courts action In connection with
his criminal libel case and SEN
fenced him to three months i'm
prisonment for contempt of court.
At this trial, Magee in answer to
a question declared that this is no
court"
Preliminary investigation by the
district attorneys office is under
way, and a statement from District
Ottorney Truder declared that a
charge OF manslaughter would be
filed against Magee.
