GIANT SMOKE RING IN
SKY LAID TO ENGINE

The .ystery of a giant smoke
ring, in size about twice that of a
circus ring, which floated lazily
over the Capital and disappeared
in the vicinity Of Washington mon
ument late yesterday afternoon was
explained today by railway workers
at Union Station.
Appearance Of the ring, about
] 900 feet up, coupled with the
Khan convention. caused speculation
as to whether or not 1t was part
of the Klan celebration. Today,
however. 1t was explained that To-
connective. blowing smoke rings was
responsible. Because OF the airs
caImness the rings were waited
away like those blown by pipe OF
cigar smoker.

SHROUDS HURTS
IN SILENCE

There lies in Emergency Hos
pital today q youth who maintains
silence regarding the strange cir
cumstances surrounding his injury
yesterday afternoon.
The youth. is Robert D. Sanford,
10, of New York City, who. the
police claim, was enroute from his
home to the Hargrave Military
School, Chatham, Va. when his
automobile turned over, on Con-
necticut Avenue, Chevy Chase.
The accident is thought to have
happened at 1870 in the afternoon
IN one of the busiest boulevards
in the city. yet the boy was not
found until 1870 last night, wand
ering In a dazed condition at Con-
necticut Avenue and Military Road
Northwest.
The police report stated that he
was discovered by Policeman Jere-
miah Mills, of the Fourteenth pre-.
cinct, and taken to Georgetown
Hospital, when in reality he was
taken to Emergency. The police
report also states that, at the time
of the accident, he was accompanied
by Robert M. Wilson, II. of Brook
lyn, N. Y, and Francis Finley, 1924
@ st. n. W., but none can explain
why Sanford was forsaken by his
companions and allowed to wander
aimlessly for six hours.
Sanford refuses TO divulge any in
formation concerning the accident.
He was at first thought to have
been suffering from amnesia, but
at the hospital today 1t was stated
that his mind is clear. A blow on
tho head is responsible for the con-
dition in which he was found yes
terday.

have the District Commissioners
adopt a regulation which would
compel dealers in meats and other
perishabIe foodstuffs to cover their
produce with dust-proof and fly
proof show cases.
When Doctor Fowler first sub
mitted his proposed regulation sev.
eral months ago the city heads
decided that 1t was too stringent

study the regulat ions OF other
cities and re-draft his recommends.
ton.
Vigorous opposition was voiced
at public hearings by representa-
-tives of market men.
Daniel r. Garges, secretary to
the Commissioners, has been In
structed to tell Doctor Fowler that
the old regulation, providing that
revolving fans be installed for pro-
lection against contamination and
that the temperature around the
produce shall be kept at a low
degree, will stand.

}l1PH0NE RATE REDUCTION HEARING Cut Short
RIGHT To HEAR
ARGUMENTS IS
CHALLENGED

The Public Utilities Commission
was stopped in its tracks" today
at the public hearing in the District
building on a proposed reduction
OF the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company.
George p. Hoover, counsel for
the telephone company, was the
only witness.
He called. attention to the action
of the commission in 1920, when
the application for increased rates
was being considered. The Com
missioners then decided that, In
view OF an Injunction issued by the
District Supreme Court preventing
a change in rates pending decision
in an appeal, authority to hear ar
guments for AN increase must be
delayed pending q modification of
the injunction.
Hoover's argument caught the
commission unawares and prevented
further arguments, for or against
the proposed decrease In rates.
All Others Silenced
Neither William Mex Clayton,
chairman of the Utilities COMMITTEES
OF the Federation OF Citizens AS.
sociations; Corporation Counsel
Francis Fl. Stephens or Major w. r.
r. Covell, utilities assistant to the
engineer Commissioner, had an op.
portunity to outline the lengthy
arguments prepared.
Instead, at the suggestion OF
Engineer Commissioner J. Franklin.
Bell. chairman OF the commission.
Corporation Counsel Stephens will
take the question of the legality
OF the proceeding raised by Hoover
under advisement for report at an
early date.
Complete Inquiry Urged
Hoover pointed out that Stephens
advised the Commission in the
Pepco case that it was unable to
proceed in rate-makink cases when
1T had previously been enjoined
without first obtaining q modifica-
ton Of the Injunction.
1T is indicated that any applica-
ton for a modification of the in
junction by the Commission will be
bitterly fought in the courts by
the telephone company.
After the hearing Clayton said
that the outcome only furthered
his opinion that o complete in
auiry should be made to ascertain,
IL possible. who was running local
utilities, the courts or. the Conn
mission. He declared that few
agreements have ever been reached
on the Commissioners orders with
out lengthy delays through legal
channels.

D.G.HELPLESS IN
MILK BOOST

The District Commissioners will
be powerless to prevent the proposed
increase in the price Of milk in
washington, Corporation Counsel
stephens said today.
"There is no part OF the District
code which authorizes the Commits
sioners TO proceed against any mer-
chant who is supposed to be charg-
ing higher prices for his produce
than are considered fair, Stephens
said.
According to the Corporation
Counsel, some sections Of the old
common law, regulating the prices
charged for bread and other COM
modities, might be invoked. but
this is not probable.
