Roth was said to be implicated
in a safe robbery here on jan
uary 5, in which jewelry valued
at $1,000 was taken from the shop
of Joshua Jubb, in the 500 block
G st. N. w.
At the hearing which terminated
yesterday he was held under $4,000
bond.
Failure of any of the witnesses
brought before Commissioner Turn
age to identify Joseph Phillips. who
was brought here with Roth, led
to dismissal of the robbery charge
against him.
Phillips Rearrested
Detective Sergt. Thomas F.
Sweeney Immediately re-arrested
Phillips and held him for Detroit
police. He is wanted there for
carrying a deadly weapon.
Phillips, Roth and three other
men were arrested in Detroit while
they were in an automobile which,
the police said, contained an array
of specially constructed, finely
wrought, safe cracking tools.
Then Washington police were
notified that the mystifying rob
berry of the Jubb shop bore char
acteristics of some other ''jobs" of
which the men were accused. All
were carefully planned and showed
great skill on the part Of the
robbers.
Police here had discovered that
two men who roomed in the 1900
block Nj st. N. W., had also
leased an office across the street
from the jewelry shop shortly be-
fore the robbery
Blow Safe
Soon after that the safe was
blown with high explosive.
asbestos coverings were. used to
blanket flames which might ignite
the office before the cracksmen
accomplished their purpose.
Pictures of the men held in
Detroit were shown to Eleanor
BuncoInbe, 1s-year.old colored maid
at the NJ Street rooming house.
and to Benjamin Haymon. furni.
Iture dealer of the 500 block
louisiana Ave. N w. On their
statements Roth and Phillips were
brought here.
Roth was Identified as one of
the men who roomed at the house
anil who had rented the office
across the street from the jewelry
shop. Haymon testified he sold
him furniture to equip the office.
Neither of the witnesses, however,
could identity 4'hiliips,
Both Of the prisoners denied
everything and said they had never
been in Washington before their
arrest.

That a substantial reduction
in electric current rates will
be ordered by the Public Util-
tiles Commission at the end OF
the year looms as certainty,
particularly in view OF the
enormous rebate the Potomac
Electric Power Company will
receive for cancelled taxes on
poles, lines and conduits.
This money, approximately $780,.
600, has been collected by the as
SCISSORS office over a period Of
several years.
With the increased earnings shown
by the company the first three
months of this year, District Off
cials say # will make a reduction
practically mandatory.
Rate Under 4.8
The present rate of SO cents per
kilowatt hour would have been re-
duced, If the company shows the
same net gains during the re-
mainder of the year that 1t has
shown in the first quarter. The
figure suggested for a new light
rate is AS, but with the return OF
Nk.aIH HlNy
will fall much lower.
The cases of the other utilities
do not show such an optimistic
picture, with the exception of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company, which will more than
likely be required to reduce phone
rates by the commission.
Affairs of this company are being
scrutinized by Ralph B. Fleharty.
Peoples Counsel who has indicated
that he will go to the front for
reduction in phone tariffs, il the
apparent gains, as shown on paper
are correct.
Car Fare Boost Seen
The Capital Traction Company
Is in such shape financially and is
showing mounting losses each
month in the net income and num-
Der Of passengers actually car
ried, that an increased fare prob
ably will not only be asked for.
but more than likely granted.
1t is not believed likely that the
petition for an increase will be
made until officials of the company
have ascertained whether or not
the merger will come up before the
present session of Congress.
Nothing will be done, it is said,
that would in any way tend to
hurt the chances of the merger
going over.
All other utilities in the District
are showing, by their monthly re.
ports, indications OF healthy growth
of business, and with the exception
of the Capital Traction Company,
all are showing steady gains each
month, as compared with earnings
for the same periods last year.

Pirates, 8: Firemen 8.

The ball game Tuesday evening be-
tween the Pirates and sthe Firemen
of the Twilight league was just like
the Sunday game in that the Pirates
came from behind in the last inning
with enough scores to win. The Fire
men had the best of it all through
the game, but the Pirates got in their
bloody work in the fifth inning to
the tune of five scores, giving them
a lead of one in 9-8 game. The Fire
men scored seven runs in the second
inning and one in the fourth-inning
The Pirates got four in the third inn
ing and five in the fifth. The box
score is not available for this game.

Libby Defeats
Standpoint Team
CONTINUED nom page ~

eighth Standpoint got runners on Sec
ond and third bases, with no men out,
but Scovil struck out three batters
in succession, banking the visitors
and working himself out of hole.
The score stood at 9 to in Sanpoint' S
favor. when Libby went to bat in the
last half of the ninth inning. Then
the excitement started.
Mccarthy, first man up for Libby,
got safe to first on an error by Sand
points shortstop. Gooeslaw, batting
for Scovil, sacrificed out, Mccarthy
moving to second. Walter WOLF bunt-
ed and beat the throw to first. Kent
got safe hit to first scoring Nc
Carthy, Walter WOLF going to third.
Elmer WOLF landed a safe hit to first,
scoring Walter WOLF and tying the
score. Kent nAted to third and Ell
mer WOLF to. Second. Christie hunted
to first, scoring Kent with the win
ming run. Christie was safe on first
when Sandpoint's first Dagger dropped
the ball. However, the game ended
right there, when Kent came across
with the 10th score and the winning
run for Libby on Ohristle's bunt.
When the game ended there was only
one Libby man down" Libby fans
got a real thrill in this whirl-wind
finish and the roofing was loud and
lusty.
The Libby team will go to Sand
point next Sunday, states Manager
Peterson, for a return game.
Libby has material for an unusual
" strong team, and with little more
team practice ought to make one OF
the strongest aggregations IN this
Section. Scovil and Nelson make a
battery that is hard to beat Scovil
was a trifle wild at the first of the
game Sunday but after the fifth inn
ing had the visitors "eating out of his
hand" Nelson, as backstop, played a
wonderful game, holding everything
coming his way when it was neces-
sary to do so. Christie is making a
reputation for himself with his heavy
hitting, knocking out home run and
a three Dagger Sunday. Walter WOLF
is mighty quick on the bases and
"stole" a number of them Sunday.

was left to the girls to furnish the re-

rived about 10 o'clock safe and sound.
The rest of the morning was spent in
picking flowers, rowing on the lake
and searching around the lakes. After
dinner we wandered here and there,
went rowing, and some went in swim

had anticipated. In spite of the days

a very enjoyable time was had by all
