the fact that he looked on baseball
as a game and a baseball job as

tailed monthly accounts on property
additions, became known late yesterday
Wnen Ord Preston. president of the
washington Gas Light Co., called on
commissioner Harleigh H Hartman to
complain that strict obedience would
cost the company $4,000 additional a

enforced, Mr.. Hartman held.
Commission Dissatisfied.
The commission, on a preliminary ex-
animation of company accounts, be-
came dissatisfied with the bookkeeping
affecting additions to capital account
by way of installations. new buildings,
purchases Of equipment and the like.
In many cases it was difficult to deter
mine from the books whether the out

additions, and added into the valuation,
on which fair rate is allowed to be
earned. or whether they should Be

Mr.. Hartman said today that the new

DEMONSTRATING true bill.
Yesterday James turned up at head
quarters, following his arrest in Mont
gomery County in connection with the
mysterious disappearance Of an auto
mobile.
Admits Real Identity.
At first the prisoner stoutly insisted
he was not James John Cooper" at
all. George Green was the name, James
vowed But when he faced the marshals,
who had reason to recall him, James
admitted his real identity.
There is quite bit of mystery about
James. most of which clouds his de-
parture-the deputy marshals know
about his return.
Although James talks freely about
how he left the lookup at the District
Courthouse, his explanations are so
diverse, they do not satisfy the deputy
marshals.
Not Missed for Two Weeks.
The fact remains that James left,
and no one saw him 60. AS a matter
of record, James was not missed for
two weeks. and then only when his
lawyer informed the deputy marshals
that James would appear for trial
June II.
You bet he will" replied the mar
shals: then they found James was more
or less Of free agent.
But James didn't appear because. as
he explained yesterday, a girl friend
had advised him such course would
not react for his best interests"
Anyhow, the deputy marshalS say
James will be present when the clerk
calls his name at the opening Of the
Fall term.
James thinks 50, too, the marshals
say.
