HEARTY WELCOME GIVEN
BAND IN HAWKINSVILLE
Heavy Rain Made Program Short
But Applause Was Prolonged.

A royal welcome was given the
Dawson band when they filled an en-
gagement in Hawkinsville Friday.
Leaving the city early in the morning
the trip was made through the coun-
try, the roads being in very good con-
dition.
Two concerts were rendered in the
afternoon, one up town and another
at the ball ground The heartiest OF
applause was given them by the
Hawkinsville people following each
number. The band was transported
from place to place in large band
wagon drawn by Fordson tractor. j.
The parade at night was short, due
to several heavy showers in the after
noon, and the marching was practical
ly all on pavement. Immediately after
a delicious barbecue the band boys
left for home, leaving the 5000 klans-
men, whom they led through the
streets in the parade earlier in the eve
ming, to the enjoyment of themselves.

POSTAGE ON ALL PARCELS
New Rule of Postoffice Will Become
Effective August LIST.

The postofice department has just
announced that, beginning on August
lst, patrons who mail parcels must
guarantee return postage in event of
non-delivery, or renounce all claim to
the parcel.
The new regulation, postal officials
calculate, will reduce by one-third the
number OF parcels sent to the dead
letter office, save thousands OF dollars
for the mailing public and for the
government, and eliminate an immense
waste of time
Under the present practice approx
mately 100000 Unbelievable parcels
annually are stored for period of six
months, more or less, while the mailer
in many instances is endeavoring to
induce a prospective customer to ac-
cept the parcel.

RENT BILL RULING
HEARING GRANTED
Allowing of Right of Way to
Measure to Be Argued.
Coolidge May Act.

The House rules committee today
granted the request of Chairman
Reed of the House District commit
tee for a hearing on whether a spe-
cial rule should be granted to make
the District rent bill in order.
Representative Lampert of wiscon-
sin, chairman of the subcommittee
which conducted hearings on the
bill, and Representative Begg of Ohio
will urge the granting of special
rule. while Representative Blanton of
Texas will appear before the commit
tee TO oppose such action.
While the question of what the
House will do to get action on the
rent bill was still unanswered. 1t
was made known from the White
House that in the event no bill is
continuing the life of the Rent Com
mission, President Coolidge will use
what power he has to protect tenants
from any unfair advantage which
some landlords might take, in the
absence of rent legislation.
President Coolidge, an authorized
spokesman declared, is not clear as
to how far he can go in exercising
the police powers of the Federal Gov
ernment without the legislation that
he asked for, but II the situation here
becomes intense and profiteering in
rentals becomes too fragrant, the
Executive does not propose to sit still
and wait for the next Congress to
furnish the necessary remedy.
The President was represented by a
spokesman today to be in this frame
of mind regarding the situation al
the Capitol as to We rent-control leg
islation.

SYME'S FEE CLAIM
OPPOSED PEPCO
Consumers Should Have Say
About $4,000 Asked by
Attorney, Is View.

The Potomac Electric Power Co. to-
day Joined the Public Utilities Com
mission in asking the District Su-
preme Court to dismiss a petition of
Conrad H Syme, former counsel for
the commission and later representa-
tive of certain consumers of cleo
tricity, for the allowance of a fee of
$4,000 out of the $3,000,000 ordered
to be refunded to consumers by JUS
tice Stafford following a compromise
of the litiga ton over the valuation of
the plant of the Pepco.
While 1t has no pecuniary interest in
the consumers share of the refund the
Pepco tells the court that it has been
charged with the administration of its
distribution and should be adequately
protected from further demands on the
part of consumers if fee is to be al
lowed to Syme.
If Syme is given fee, the Pepco says,
Ii should only be done after due ad-
vertisement to the $4,000 to $4,000 con-
sumers, many of whom are not resi-
dents of the District. No decree should
be entered, 1t is stated, until such con-
sumers are brought before the court
either by process or advertisement.

is now in readiness.
Twenty governors have thus far
notified the committee here that they
would either appear personally Oh

the invitation to participate in the
