for the north, where lies the game
country they seek. A strong body
guard Of natives will accompany the
party.
According to plans, the Roosevelts'
wives will meet them upon their re-
turn through a pass in the Hima-
layas, in northern India. 1t had been
a part of the plan that they should
accompany their husbands and spend
the Summer in northern India, but
the idea was abandoned because of
Mrs. Kermit Roosevelts baby which
was considered too young to be left
behind for that length Of time
Passports Granted.
British passports have been obtain

departure through the passes north

The Chinese government has also

party will be able to return this year

An investigation of the poisoning OF
Cunningham, a 24-year-old mschinist

have been informed of the deaths after
short illnesses of FIVE members of his
family in the last six years.
Cunningham is in a hospital here His
organs were filled with arsenic, Dr.
Thomas A. Carter of the hospital staff
reported to the coroner. He was first
stricken six weeks ago after eating
lunch at work, but recovered after
two weeks and returned to work.

mothers sole support, it was said.
Mrs. Cunningham suffered a ner-

PRAISED BY GERMANS.

BERLIN, April 11.-Commenting on
the resignation OF NJ. Herriot as pre-
mier of France, Vorwaerts says that,
despite his weakness and readiness to
follow bad advisers" he deserves the
appreciation of all friends of democracy
and peace.
The return of Poincare or Mile
rand at the present time seems un-
thinkable," the paper adds, but the
election of Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg would constitute means to
return them to power within a few
weeks. If enough fools can be found
in Germany to choose a man who is
looked upon by the world as the in
carnation of militarism, a wave of
nattonalistic passion would be un-
loosed in France which would sweep
away the peaceful elements"
Die Zeit, organ of Foreign Minis
ter Stresemann, ascribes the fall of
NJ Herriot to the opposition of church
circles and the catastrophical devel-
opment of the franc, for which he is
rot responsible"

TELEPHONE RATE
HEARING IS CALLED
Reduction May Not Follow
Lower Valuation, Utilities
Commission Announces.

The Public Utilities Commission an
nounced today that it will hold a
hearing in the board room of the Dis
trict Building at 10 o'clock on April
% to determine whether telephone
rates should be reduced as a result
of the new value just placed on the
property of the Chesapeake & Poto-
mac Telephone Co.
The commission announced yester-
day that it has fixed the fair value
of the telephone property at SIS, 576,-
956, which, officials of the commission
say, is about 100000 less than it
would have been under the old sys-
tenn of determining the valuation.
Reduction Not Sure.
While this decision gives the COM
mission a slightly lower rate base,
officials explain that it does not auto
matically follow that there will be a
reduction.
The fixing of valuation is merely
the first step in the determination of
rates. The deciding factors in passing
on the reasonableness of present rates
are the various items of operating
expense, and they are not touched
upon in fixing the valuation.
in the forthcoming rate hearing is
whether the allowance in operating
expenses for depreciation should be
curtailed.
Rate Hearing to Come.
officials of the telephone company
have decided not to discuss the new
valuation at this time, in view Of the
fact that a rate hearing is to follow
They take the view that the fixing of
the valuation is only one part of the
proc eding, and that they should
withhold judgment until the rate
question is settled.
The company argued for a valuation
of S25, 100000. or about $6.400,000 more
than the commission allowed. One
Of the biggest cuts made by the COM
mission was in the subtraction OF S4,-
100000 for depreciation. The company
estimated that the depreciation exist
ing in the property was only $500, 600

MERCHANTS WANT
ONE-H0UR PARKING
Believe This Satisfactory,
With Strict Enforcement,
Columbus Tells EIdridge.

Retention in the new traffic code of
the present one-hour parking limit
for the congested section was recon-
mended to Director OF Traffic Eldridge
today by Charles J. Columbus, secre-
turers' Association.
Mr.. Columbus told Mr.. Eldridge the
merchants favor the one-hour limit
enforcement
The merchants, Mr.. Columbus said,
are opposed to the suggestion that
parking be entirely prohibited be-
tween and $3.50 in the morning and
from to in the afternoon, as a
means of eliminating the all-day
parker.
They believe, he said, that a uni
form allowance of one hour through
out the day would be reasonable and
will prove satisfactory If strictly ad-
hered to.
The merchants recommended to Mr..
Eldridge that in the new code the
one-hour parking limit apply to the
area bounded by B, X, Sixth and
Nineteenth streets, which extends
further westward than the present
consested zone.
Mr.. Columbus also told Mr.. Eldridge
the merchants are opposed to cne-
way streets, except in such short
blocks as D street between Tenth and
Eleventh streets where trafic nat
urally flows in one direction.
The advisory committee represent
ing various organizations, that Is as
sisting the traffic director in framing
the new code, has passed on practi
cally all the principal questions ex
cept parking, and that will be dis
cussed between now and Monday
night.
Mr. Eldridge then will prepare a
draft of the revised regulations and
submit them to the Commissioners
for approval. They will take effect
May 3.
The traffic director does not expect
to be able to establish any of the
arterial highways as early as May 8.
Tkirty-MiIe Speed Limit.
Ten days ago it was reported the
speed limit might be made 35 miles
an hour on certain outlying stretches
of arterial highways. Mr. Eldridge
said today that present indication
are the speed limit will not exceed
80 miles at any point In the District.
The present plan is to have gen.
eral speed limit for passenger cars
of % miles an hour except on arterial
highways and on outlying roads
And wherever a greater speed than
% miles is to be allowed there will
be signs showing where the increased
speed starts and where it ends.
The new speeds for trucks probably
will be Is miles an hour for solid
tire trucks and 1s miles an hour for
