Three Years to Make Pay
ments to Patrons.

Preparation of an order directing

phone Co. TO it's subscribers who are
entitled to a refund under the com.
promise agreement on rates entered
into by the company and the Public
Utilities Commission was started to.
day in the Offices of the commission.
The order will be issued just as
soon as the District Supreme Court
approves a joint application of the
company and the commission with
drawing the valuation and rate case
which has been in litigation for the
past two years.
The impounded fund ranges be-
tween $4,000 and $150,000, according
to the commissions calculations. The
commission, 1t is understood, plans to
give the company three years In which
to complete it's distribution, the same
limitation granted the Potomac Eiec-
trio Power Co. for returning to the
public a share Of the fund it i'm
pounded. The company Is expected to
begin distribution of the impounded
fund soon after the formal order is
issued by the commission, but it may
take some time. 1t was pointed out,
to locate some former subscribers en-
titled to share of the impounded
fund who have either left Washington
or discontinued telephone service. The
company will be directed to make
every effort to locate these persons.
The refunds will be effected in the
case of present subscribers by means
of credit on bills instead of cash pay
ments. Checks will be made to for
mer subscribers when they are located.
The amount of the refund win amount
to about $3.50 to the individual SUBJ
scriber who has paid for unlimited
service from June 10, 1925. This rep
resents the difference between the SIS
rate charged by the company and the
new rate of $4.75, which Is retroactive
to June 10, 1925, under the compro-
mise agreement.
The refund to subscribers on the
limited service lines will vary accord
ing to the number of messages used,
as the lower rates for this type of
service were effected by an increase
from 35 to 40 local calls month
without any change in the $3.50 rate.
Ralph B. Fleharty, peoples counsel
before the commission, has completed
the draft of an application for with
drawal of the valuation and rate case
from litigation, and is expected to
present it In the District Supreme
Court Monday.

u. s. WATCHES OIL
! AND GAS SITUATION
Government May Adopt Pol
icy of Conservation to
Block Exploitation.

The Federal Government is keeping
close eye on the gasoline and oil
situation with view to conservation
of the supply, it was said yesterday
at the White House, and while In
terested in the prevention of explolta-
ton of both products it intends to
take no part in price fixing.
On behalf of President Coolidge. 1t
was said, however. that the Govern
ment is ready to do anything 1t can
to prevent illegal combinations which
might unduly increase the price OF
oil or gasoline.
The President. it was said, believes
that the primary concern of the Gov
ernment in the oil situation is the
problem of conservation.
His views were elected by inquiries
regarding the Governments attitude
toward the announced intention of
oil producers in the Oklahoma Semi
mole field to artificially restrict pro-
duction.
1t is the Presidents opinion that
low oil and gasoline prices are re-
suit of increased supplies, but he be-
lieves that the question of prices is
not one with which the Government
can deal, except indirectly.
1t was recalled at the White House
that q year ago, when complaints
We're made against the high price Of
gasoline, the President asked the Fed-
eral Trade Commission and the De-
partment of Justice to look into the,
situation.
The Oil Conservation Board APP.
pointed some time ago by the Presi-
dent has been considering the ques-
ton of conservation and the preven-
ton of exploitation, but it has reach
ed no decision.

daughter of Sir James and Lady
Beattie of st. Andrews, Scotland, and
London, and her American-born hus-
band, Capt. Harold Spencer. became
known today with the filing of a Su-
preme Court motion for change of
venue from Wisconsin to this city.
1t was learned that Capt. Spencer
has brought suit for divorce against
the former Miss Isabella Beattie, al

and misconduct with William Mac
Queen. MacQueen lately resided in
Valparaiso, Chile, and is former lieu
tenant of the Royal Field Artillery
and at one time was in the British
Army intelligence service.
Termed Boy Bridegroom"
Spencer filed his suit in Appleton,
Wis, his boyhood home, in April. His
wife's attorney yesterday filed mo-
tion in Supreme Court here to enjoin
her husband from prosecuting his ac-
ton in Wisconsin, on the ground that
Capt. and Mrs. Spencer are residents
of New York State.
Spencer was known Is years ago as
the "boy bridegroom" of the previous
ly thrice-married Mrs. Amanda Cham
bers-L -Lloyd-P Perry -Ballantine, 42-year-
old widow of George Ballantine, ia
nous sportsman.
Spencer had just resigned from the
Naval Academy at Annapolis in 1911
and was en- route to Europe when he
met Mrs. Ballantine, who was his first
wife. They were married in Cairo,
Egypt, about month after their
meeting. Spencer gained wide pub
licity as a result of quarrel in
New York hotel on their return to
this country, in which, it was report
ed, he bombarded his wife with crul-
lers. A reconciliation followed, but
later they were divorced.
Married i'm London.
Spencer and his second wife, the
former Miss Beattie, were married in
London April IS, 1918. He alleges in
his complaint against her that on his
wedding anniversary last month he
returned from trip abroad and
