NEW PEKING THREAT.

LONDON, May 26 A1.--Press dis
patches today indicated that the Ma
tionalists had launched a threat against
Peking from new quarter.
A Peking dispatch to the Daily Mail
quoted Chinese sources as saying the
Nationalii5ts had captured Kalgan, about
i25 miles northwest Of the capital. and
that the Northern troops were retreat
ing rapidly.
This was regarded as new threat
TO Peking since Northern and Southern
(Nationalist) troops were being aligned
along a. front about 100 miles south Of
Peking and extending more than 100
miles.
Chinese farmers also brought reports
70 Peking that the Northerners were
occupying a last line Of defense around
Nankow Pass, about 25 miles north Of
Peking on the railroad TO Kalgan. This
was taken to indicate that the North
erners feared that the Nationalist
having occupied Kalgan would push
down the railroad toward the capital

FIeharty Also Is Cautioned
Against Prejudicing Peoples
interests in Case.
PUBLIC UTILITIES HEAD
DENIES He MADE REMARKS
Declared to Have Said That Com
mission Had Decided in Advance
for Higher Rates.

Chairman Gibson of the special sub
committee of the House District COM
mittee which has for several years been
making systematic study of the NUM-
cipal administration today lectured
John w. ChildresS, chairman of the
Public Utilities Commission, and the
peoples counsel, Ralph B. Fleharty
warning them against prejudicing the
peoples interests by giving interviews
to the effect that the commission may
grant higher rates on street car fares.
Mr., ChildreSs was summoned before
the Gibson subcommittee and asked to
explain newspaper reports to the erect
that the Commissioners are ready to
grant a higher rate of fare to the
Capital Traction Co. when 1t requests
such increase.
Denies Statement.
Representative Gibson told Mr..
Chiidress that such reported interview
has been brought to the committees
attention in which MIR. Childress was
quoted as saying that members of the
Public Utilities Commission and at
taches had decided in advance that
higher rates would be allowed.
Mr.. Childress denied that he had
ever made such statement and told
the subcommittee that he would be a
fool" to prejudice a case by any such
statement. He claimed that the news
papers had miSquoted him.
Asked directly by Chairman Gibson
If he had given such an interview, Mr..
ChildreSs explained that he had dis
cuSsed with reporters the decision OF
the court in the Potomac Electric
Power Co. case, allowing 7ia per cent
return on the valuation, and had pointed
out TO the reporters that the court had
ordered the Public Utilities Commission
TO recognize a valuation of $26,000.000
for the Capital Traction Co.
II did not say we would have to do
this. OF have to do that" said Mr..
Ch!ldress. ~ am not fool enough to
prejudice the case In that way"
Mr.. Gibson emphasized that 1t would
be extremely unfortunate for the COM
mission to prejudice the peoples case
as the newspaper interview indicated
has been done. Mr.. Childress agreed
with Chairman Gibson. He said he
has frequently been misquoted.
Mr.. Gibson pointed out that Mr..
ChildresS' position Is one 10 protect the
public. He subsequently called the
peoples counsel to the witness chair
and gave him similar advice.
Chlldress' Statement.
In the statement of Mr.. ChiidreSs, In
the interview published Thursday, the
public utility chairman Is quoted as
follows:
"The Potomac Electric Power Co. Is
permitted by the courts to earn ia per
cent. Should the Capital Traction Co
insist on the same return, see no way
for US to prevent 1t. Should we fix
a lower rate the company could claim
that 1t Is confiscatory. and the commits
sion probably would face court order
compelling 1t to grant rate sufficient
TO earn q fair return"

MAIL PILOT KILLED
IN VIRGINIA CRASH
James R. Reid'S Plane Goes
Over 10-F0ot Bank in
Forced Landing.

Forced to make landing a short
time after he had taken off from Rich
mond for Washington at 1928 o'clock
this morning, Pilot James r. Reid Of
the New York-Atlanta overnight air
mail route was instantly killed when
his plane. travelling at high speed on
the ground Immediately after 1t had
been successfully brought to earth,
plunged over q 10-foot embankment
near the Mechanicsville turnpike, ac-
cording to Associated Press dispatches
received here.
Today's fatal accident was the Sec
ond on the mail route between Rich
mond and Washington III a period Of
SO hours, Pilot Z. j. Morrissey having
been killed early Tuesday morning
shortly after taking OF for the Capital.
Morrissey was the reserve pilot at Rich
nicflo. tlae transfer point on the New
York-Atlanta airway, and Reid sue
ceeded to the vacancy caused by that
fatal crash.
Fog HaIts Treat.
Reds duties called for flying the
mail either to New York or Atlanta
from Richmond in the event that planes
from either point we're delayed He
took the air on schedule time this
morning with the mail that had been
brought up from Atlanta when the
southbound plane, piloted by Verne e.
Treat, was unable TO get TO the Virginia
capital owing to dense fog along the
route between here and the Rappahan-
mock River.
Treat arrived at Boiling Field last
night and left 10 minutes late, or at
II :65 pm, for the last leg of his run
between New York and Richmond,
When he reached the Rappahannock
he found conditions so thick 1t was i'm
possible to get through. Treat already
had experienced a close call In night
fog flying a few hours before Morrissey
was killed, when he was unable To get
through the blanket of mist that COW
cred Washington. and he had to slip
through q hole In the clouds over
Sykesville. Md. He succeeded In get
ting to earth. but the plane received
slight damage.
So Treat turned back, arriving at
Boiling Field at ! am. His mail was
rushed to Union Station and trained"
for the South. The mail from Atlanta
reached Richmond about 20 minutes
later, and as conditions there had
cleared up, Reid asked TO be permitted
to take the Northbound mail on to
New York.
Instructed to Turn Back.
According to Pitcairn Aviation, Inc,
contractors OF the route. Reid was told
he could make the attempt, but was
instructed TO turn back In case he en-
countered fog.
'Reid took off for Washington on
scheduled time," said statement by
the operators OF the route. but for
some reason, Pitcairn ofiicials believe
that It may have been motor trouble.
for there was no fog. Reid was forced
10 land.
He dropped two flares. but was too
low for them 10 light and he was forced
TO come down with only his landing
lights to guide him He therefore did
not see an embRnkment at the end OF
the field and rolled over II while stiil
travelling at high speed, The plane
was wrecked and Reid was killed In
stantly. The time was 1858 ON the
clock In the plane, which presumably
stopped at the time of the accident.
