Doctor W. T. Merrill, Of the United
States Veterans Hospital, No. A.,
at West Roxbury, Massachusetts,.
He was notified yesterday afternoon
that his daughter was missing and
believed drowned. He is expected
at the Academy sometime today.
Miss Merrill had been at the Naval
Academy Hospital less than two
months, transferred from q naval
hospital at New Haven, Conn.
A little more than six months
ago, Lieutenant William Sheppard
Bryan Claude, U. s. NJ, and Miss
Harriet Kent Green, daughter OF
Nicholas H. Green, q former State
attorney for Anne Arundel county,
Maryland. were drowned In the
Severn when their canoe overturned.

changes are estimated to slash rev.
enues, $4,000 q year.
The telephone case is similar to
that of the Potomac Electric Power
Company which was in litigation
for more than seven years and
caused impounding OF $6,OOO,OO0.
In 1917. the commission estab-
lished q new valuation for the. cleo
tric company and reduced electric
current rates from 10 to cents a
kilowatt hour.
An injunction restraining en-
forcement Of the new rates was
obtained by the company on she
ground that, the rate revision was
based on an erroneous valuation
and was confiscatory, unfair and
unreasonable.
IN granting a restraining order,
the court ordered continuance Of
the 1O-cent rate with the condition
that the company lmpound cents
until final disposition Of the case.
Justice Gould, Of the District Su-
preme Court, after more than g
years deliberation, put his Q. K.
on the cOmnnisSi0n's valuation.
which was in effect an approval OF
the scent rate. In the Court
Of Appeals to which tribunal the
company took the case, Gould's
decision was reversed. This court
said the valuation was erroneous,
and ordered 1t revised.
Meanwhile, the commission made
several changes in the scent rate,
going up as high as SIS cents, and
finally coming down to 7.6 cents.
Impounding of the difference be.
tween the 1O-cent rate and the COM
missions rate continued.
Dissatisfied with the appeals
courts decision, the commission
went to the United States Supreme
Court. Here the case was thrown
out, the court denying jurisdiction.
It then went back tol the appeals
court. The Court Of Appeals then
directed the Supreme Court OF the
District to establish q new valua-
ton In accordance with Its decision.
After seven years Of court action
an agreement was finally reached
between the electric company and
tn Commission and the case was
settled.
BY this agreement the 1mpounded
fund OF more than $4,000, 900 was
divided equally between the COM
pany and $4,000 electric consumers;
q new rate Of rs cents kilowatt
hour, effective January 1. last, was
ordered and the valuation OF the
electric corGoany was increased by
several million dollars.

DAYTON, Tenn, May 28.--auitc
q rnmbling OF dissatisfaction Is
heard among the majority OF citi-
zens here over the entrance of
Clarence Darrow and Dudley Ma
lone into the Scopes anti-evolutiOn
case on account OF their reported
"antagonistic religious beliefs" Ru-
NOR further has It that Martin Lit
Teton, noted New York attorney,
would be asked to aid Professor
Scopes at his trial July 10.
Doctor John R. Neal, leading de-
tense counsel, stated this morning
he was aware Of the objection
raised by some of the Daytonians
to the appearance in the case OF two
nationally known attorneys.
They object to Darrow because
they claim he Is an atheist. They
also think Malone is a Roman
Catholic and for this reason not
acceptable" said Doctor Neal.
"I told such as made protest to
me that Professor Scopes il en-
titled under the law to employ any
attorneys he wanted or accept the
services offered by any voluntarily.

Lieutenant Selby, regarded as one
of the best surgeons at the Naval
Academy, probably will be buried
in Arlington.
His home was IN Atlanta where
he was reared by q sister, Mrs.
Charles r. Whitner, after the death
Of his father and mother. Mrs.
Whitner is understood to be en-
route to Washington. Lieutenant
SeIby is also survived by a sister
who lives In Birmingham and an
other residing in Charlotte.
No one saw the couple depart,
but It Is believed they put out
about o'clock.

Lieutenant Selby is q surgeon and
where Miss Merrill is assigned, re-

out in q canoe that night.
Friends Of Lieutenant Selby re-

that he was going to take his
canoe out. They did not tell any
one they were going together.
Missed His Operation.
The search for the couple was
not begun until yesterday morning,
nearly twelve hours after the
couple are believed to have
drowned.
Their absence was not discovered
until morning. Lieutenant Selby
was due to perform an operation.
When he did not appear, an orderly
was sent to the home. He reported
the surgeon had not been In quar-

earlier search would have been
started IL Mrs. Selby had been
home. She would have reported
her husbands disappearance imme-
diately.

Kraus, and his daughter, Miss

Battling Ward and Danny Nunes
will form the top spo, on the I'm

night, according to announcement
made last Friday. Nunes took the
decision from Joe German here two
weeks ago, in clever battle, the
kind that most Of the local fight
fans like to see.
Ward will be remembered for his
fight with Young Bello here during
the summer. That fight was a dis
appointment, as neither Bello nor
Ward was able to open up during
the 10 rounds because of the heat.
Ward came here with splendid rep
utation, but as he was not able to
get along, he didn't look so good.
However, any man who can knock
out Georgia Goodrich, is battler
and Ward has done that little stunt
just twice.
The boys should put Oh the best

beat out the popularity Of the semi
final between Tony Escalante and

of the ring, has been considered a
"natural for the past three weeks.
Esealante took decision over
Johnny AcManus, which many
thought should have been the other

since been pulling for Monroy- Es-

were hurt in the fracas with Nc

pect a great battle.
Monroy proved himself clever, and

work cut out for him on Friday

that.
