Both AL Reichman and Chester Miles
of Eastern, especially the former, are
regarded as likely to break the 800
yard standard Of 2 minutes 2 3-5 sec
onds, made by Monroe Sheehan Of Tech
in 1917. Reichman, who was second,
and Miles, who was third. were pound
ing at the heels of Plat Bullard. victor
in the half in the &c" Club games in
minutes is seconds.
Frank Miles of Eastern, who ran the
mile in minutes 402s seconds for
the only new record made in last years
meet, Is given q chance Of bettering his
mark Friday, and his brother Chester
also may make q bid for the mark.
Frank was second to Plat Bullard in
the mile run in the &c" Club games,
which was run in 4:41H, but Is thought
capable of doing better. Whether he
can better his mark, though, Is ques-
tionable.
Two Eastern hurdlers are regarded
as possible record -smashers in the 120-
yard high and 220-yard low hurdles.
They are Everett and Slye, both high

NEW PITTS QUIZ
IS FORECAST
Times staff Photo

A Grand Jury investigation Of
documents introduced by the de-
fense in the recent $5,000,000 en-
bezzlement conspiracy trial Of G.
Bryan Pitts, C. Elbert Anadale
and John n. Edwards, jr., former
F.. H. Smith Company officials,
appears virtually certain.
The documents were introduced
when Pitts occupied the witness
stand for two days. He claimed
his ownership Of all stock in
three corporations, each Of which
had credit of several hundred
thousand dollars on the Smith
Company books, gave him the
right to draw funds from the
company. ....
In each instance when Pitts
testified to a withdrawal of the
coFnpany's funds an authorization
for the withdrawal and a receipt
were produced. Some of these
were signed by Pitts and some
by Emory L. Coblentz, president
of the Central Trust Company,
Of Frederick, Md, who was an Of
ficer in the corporations Pitts
claimed he purchased.
Nugent Dodds, prosecution
counsel, attacked these authorize
tions and receipts as spurious
documents in his final argument
to the jury.
Edwards, the 28-year.old former
vice president Of the Smith Com
pany, qualified for admission to
the District Reformatory at
Lorton, Va, where he will serve
his three-year sentence. He will
go to uorton Monday. He prob
ably will do clerical work.

Z AIS To SAVE
DRINKERS
Staff Photo

The two ais, who are expected
to save many drinkers Of illegal
alcohol from death or blindness,
will make their first bow to the
public the first Of the year.
They are alcotate and aldehol.
and they are the Governments
latest solution Of the perplexing
problem Of making the third al.
alcohol, undrinkable, but not
deadly.
Comes from Coast
Alcotate comes from California,
and Is derived by cracking crude
petroleum. It's chemical nature
comprises aldehydes, sulphur
compounds, and many other
things. The Government expects
to buy about 100000 gallons of
this at about SO cents a gallon,
to stop the bathtub gin-makerS
from carrying on their favorite
indoor sport.
Aldehol is an oxidized kerosene
and is manufactured in several
Eastern refineries. It is the dis
covery Of DR.. j. H. James, Of the
Carnegie Institute of Technology.
Smell and Taste Bad
The two ais have a very dis
agreeable smell and q worse taste.
And they have the virtue Of such
a distillation point, that, no mat
ter how often the diStiller runs
them through the coils, they will
always linger with the alcohol.
Neither will prove deadly, but
he who would drink such a mix.
ture will find it very unpleasant.
So, the bootleggers are going to
have to locate a new source of
alcohol or. the price will go up
sharply.

Inventive Genius Undoing

Alas for inventive genius! 1t

1t was revealed today, merely be-
cause the youth showed too much
budding inventiveness. And in.
stead of getting Nobel prize or
something he "got the air."

dentally discovered his contrap
tions.
Wires His Room
The you lgster was taking a
course in electricity, a course all
midShipmen must take. He de-
cided to put it to practical pur-
poses. First he wired his room
so that instead of having to get
up and close his window these
cold mornings when reveille
sounded, he merely touched a
button and the window closed.

SCHOOL DELAYS.
SCORED BY
SIMMONS
FiVe-Year Building Program
Failure Causes Congestion,
Representative Ma aintainS

Another blast at District Off
cials for delay in the school
construction program Is being pre-
pared by Representative Robert
G. Simmons (R.) Of Nebraska,
chairman of the District appro-
priations subcommittee.
His point Of attack will be
the alleged failure Of the Board
of Education and the office Of
Municipal Architect Harris to
keep up with the five-year build
ing program for the local schools
and the increase Of congestion
in school rooms during the past
year, despite the liberal appro-
priations which have been granted
by Congress for new school con-
struction in the city.
Simmons Seeks Data
Representative Simmons has
called upon Superintendent Of
Schools Ballou and Municipal
Architect Harris for data relating
to the extent the school conStruc-
ton program has fallen behind.
and will make public all the facts
in a statement to be issued by
him in the next few days.
When hearings on the District
bill open before the House Ap-
proriationS Committee on January
S, the entire local school situation
will be given a further airing.
REPRESENTATIVES Simmons Is con-
vinced that the Board Of Educa-
ton and the District Commission
ers have failed to coordinate their
efforts and to speed up" much
needed school construction, de.
spite repeated appeals from Con-
gresS in the past three years to
do so.
Will Ask Showdown
In advance of his retirement
as chairman Of the District
appropriations subcommittee, Rep
resentative Simmons Is planning
Showdown" on this school is
sue, which has been a thorn in
his flesh ever since the new con-
struction program was adopted.
District officials have not been
backward in answering congress
sional criticism in the past, re.
vealing that the comparatively
small personnel of craftsmen and
designers in the Municipal Archi-
tect's office has been responsible
for much of the trouble. The dit.
ffculties ncountered in obtaining
proper sites for new Schoolhouses
have also been blamed for the
hardness and differences Of
opinion within the Board Of Edu-
cation as to how the building
program should be developed
have also worked for delay.

RUSHES
POWER COST
SCHEDULE
TWo-day Sessions Expected
to Reach a Decision on City
Demands for Reductions

The Public Utilities Commis-
sion today completed plans for
speeding UP the public hearing
on proposed rate reductions for
electric current in 1881 in order
that the rates may become effec-
tive within the shortest possible
time following the close Of the
hearing.
Harleigh H. Hartman, vice
chairman Of the Public Utilities
Commission, said today that the
opening session has been called
for 9:30 o'clock Tuesday morning
and it is likely that q night ses-
sion will be held that night. He
expects the hearing to conclude
the following day.
Keech Asks Hearing
The hearing was called at the
insistence Of Richmond b. Keech,
Peoples Counsel, and William
NICK. Clayton, chairman Of the
public utilities committee CT the
Federation of Citizens Association.
They contend that the reduction
from ~ cents per kilowatt hour
to "a per kilowatt hour for
residential lighting which the
Potomac Electric Power Company
proposes, is not sufficient and
additional items in the net in
come of the company should have
been used to apply in the reduc-
ton.
with the hearing limited to
two days, the new rates will go
into effect during the first few
days in January. Heretofore the
reduced rates became effective
on January / and the delay
caused by the hearing mil cause
but a slight loss to consumers.
viii Study Decree
In addition to the proposed
reductions for 1881, the commits
sion will consider the consent
decree signed by the District
Supreme court, under which re-
ductionS have been made Tor
the past six years.
Maj. w. E. r. Covell. former
assistant engineer commissioner,
who took an active part in con.
ferences between the Public Util-
itieS Commission and the power
company which led to the draft
ing of the decree, is expected to
appear at the hearing.
. The consent decree enters into
the present case Keech holds that
the commission should place a
new Interpretation on the decree
in applying new rates. The decree
provides that the company may
keep all of the earnings over a
712 per cent return on its invest
ment but half Of that sum must
be applied to reductions the fol-
lowing year.
Keech holds that the company
is applying $S30,O0O to a reduc-
ton in rates and that the aver
age increase in business to the
company has been 13 per cent
since the decree was signed.
