HOPES TO RECOVER
$4,000 ROBBER GOT
Turfman Refrains From Re-
porting HoId-up-Glad to
Let Matter Drop.

In the hope Of recovering some of
the $4,000 race track winnings of
which he claims he was robbed early
Sunday morning near his stables at
Laurel, Md, F. H. Smith, Kentucky
turfman and horse owner, was leaving
with his string of horses this afternoon
for Bowie, Md, none the worse ply
sically from his encounter with two
masked highwaymen.
Meanwhile, no arrests have been
made and no clues have been discovered
that would lead to a possible arrest
of the highwaymen who are said to
have beaten and robbed Smith Of his
wallet.
Maryland State police at the Laurel
station said this morning they had not
been asked to look out for the supposed
robbers who escaped after dumping
Smith off on the road between Laurel
and Bowie. They added that they
knew nothing about the reported rob-
berry except from talk circulated in
Laurel According to them the reputed
loss has dwindled to $4,000.
Smith, however, sticks to his story Of
the attack. He said this morning that
his loss amounted to about $4,000" and
now claims that third man was in
volved with the other two This third

II didn't report the robbery to the

wouldn't do me any more harm If let

tickled to death not to be tied up in
the woods as they threatened" That
part of the road near Laurel where the
attack Is said to have taken place Is a

GAS FIRMS COSTS

FIeharty Protests Theoreti-
cal Expenditures Amount
ing to S3.621 800.

Theoretical expenditures amounting
to $3,621 800 are included in the valua-
ton claim sof the Washington and
Georgetown Gas Light Cos, it was
brought out today at the valuation hear
ing before the Public Utilities Commits
sion. This represents approximately 25
per cent of the $14,654, ,92O base of the
company's estimated cost of reproduc-
ing the gas plant.
The $3,621 800 is listed in the COM
pany's appraisal as undistributed gen.
eral costs. exclusive of land 1t is made
up Of items totaling $685. ,760 for omis-
sion and contingence, $615,240 for engi-
neering and maintenance, $l5,690 for
accident insurance and damages during
construction, $3.50 for fire insurance
during construction, $358.9l0 for perma-
nent organization during construction,
$64 $50 for taxes during construction,
$2,155, 900 for interest during construc-
ton, and $3.50 for interest on taxes
during construction.
These figures were put into the rec

Board, who made survey of the COM

concluded his testimony last week as
to tangible direct costs.
The details of how he arrived at these
items of indirect costs, which Peoples
Counsel Ralph B. Fleherty described as

Luqueer. Each item was worked out
by applying percentage OF probable"
outlay The percentage, Luqueer said,

sions and contingencies, and to cover

These items all go into the valuation
claim for rate making purposes under
the reproduction theory in use.
! tudueer,s grand total does not differ
radically from that of H. Carl Wolf,
the commissions engineer. VOLTS esti-
mate amounts to $3,192,332, but his
deductions for accrued depreciation
bring the figure down to $2,816,l15. Lu-
queer has allowed $l22,810 for deprecia-
ton, or .$253,4l0 less than Wolf, with
the result that Luqueer's final estaimte
of indirect costs after depreciation
amounts to $3,499 ,080, compared with
VOLTS S2,8l6,1l5.
The commission is considering a
recommendation of Earl v. Fisher,
executive secretary. that the hearing
be adjourned tomorrow to enable the
commission to dispose of number of

JUNK YARD BARRED

Arlington Supervisors Act
Without Waiting for For
nal Protests.

Application for permission to operate
junk yard just south of the Highway
Bridge, in Arlington County, met with
a curt refusal from the Board of
County Supervisors of Arlington County
at a meeting IN the county courthouse
this morning.
The board did not even wait to hear
the opposition to the project and voted
its refusal, after H. Bruce Green, attor-
ney for H. L. Hemminger of Washing
ton, who planned 20 erect the junk
yard, had presented the case of the ap-
Green pointed out that the site Sc
lected, up to about three months ago
had been used for junk yard without
permission from the board of super
visors, on a license approved by the
Arlington County Circuit Court. He
said that Hemminger has similar IL
cense and planned to confine his
junking activities to the field of worn
out automobiles.
He also presented the board letter
from George D. Horning, proprietor of
pawn shop just over the bridge, whose
property abuts the site of the proposed
junk yard, in which Horning stated he
has no objection to the project.
Waving aside representatives of the
opposition who arose to present their
case, Edward Duncan, chairman of the
board, said: 1--WE don't care to hear the
opposition. 1 have received large
number Of protests against the estab-
lishment of junk yard at this site and
am ready to move against permission
being granted Mr.. Hemminger."
The motion was seconded and the
board unanimously voted to withhold
the permit
Green gave notice of an appeal to the

PRESIDENT HOPES
TO AVERT DEFICIT
Counting Upon Prosperity of
Country to Prevent Treas
ury Depletion.

President Coolidge is hopeful that
existing prosperity of the country will
prevent any deficit in the Treasury
during the coming fiscal year.
The President discussed the matter
with his cabinet today and, according
to his most recent advices. business
throughout the country is generally
better today than it was at this time
year ago. He has reason to feel that
this condition will continue.
The President, while discussing the
healthy business situation, was great:J
impressed with the fact that the situa-
ton has been in no wise interfered
with by the national elections On the
contrary, he has information that de-
spite the fact that national elections
are assumed generally to affect busi-
ness, there has been an increase in buSi-
ness on the whole.
The President has been keeping in
close touch with Brig. Gen. Lord, 4 di-
recto rof the budget. with the view to
doing what is possible in the way of ad-.
ministratioh to avert possible deficit
not only during the current fiscal year
but during the year to begin July next.
Wulle DISCUSSING the subject WlCn
friends today the President was repre-
sented as pointing out that whether or
not the Government is to function on
the right side of the ledger is greatly
dependent upon business conditions. He
was very happy to know that the Gov
ernment's import, are keeping up to all
expectations, which necessarily means
revenue, and that the exports are COM
ing up to expectations. He appreciates
the fact, however, that there is no di-
rect revenue from exports, but the lat
ter indicates that the business for the
country is good and that substantial
profits will accrue to American business,
and that the Treasury will receive its
share IN the way of taxes.
AS the result of the Presidents ad-
vices relative to the business conditions,
he is therefore hopeful that the revenue
to be collected IN January, and at the
regular periods thereafter during the
year, will be sufficiently large to take
care Of possibility of a deficit, not
withStanding the reduction In taxes ef-
fected by the last Congress or the extra
items Of expense such as the Mississippi
food control. the increased rates for
carrying mail, as well as several other
such items.
