KING URGES GUT
IN POWER RATE

Benefits to be derived by resi-
dents Of the District through
lowered rates proposed by the
Potomac Electric Power Company
should not be delayed because Of
the public hearing to be held be-
ginning the last Of the month
regarding the disposition Of the
surplus earnings Of the company.
This is the view Of Harry King,
chairman Of the public utilities
committee Of the Washington
Chamber Of Commerce, as ex-
pressed in q letter to the District
Public Utilities Commission yester-
day.
Members Of the committee have
taken the stand that the public
hearing and accompanying in.
veStigations may drag on inde-
finitely and, If the question Of
lowered rates is combined with
the hearing on the use of
surplus, local consumers Of elec-
tricity will be needleSsly deprived
Of benefits Of reduced cost Of

MARKET IS SAD
On LAST YULE

There Is all the color and
hustle Of the usual Christmas
crowds milling about in and
around Center Market today, but
there is q real regret in the
hearts Of dealers and customers
alike-this is to be the last
Yuletide rush.
After being the gathering place
for thousands Of WaShingtonianS
selecting their holiday feaSts for
1875 celebrations Of Christmas,
the market, which was opened
for the first time in 1904, is to
sacrificed for a new Government
building.
Many Linger Today
There has always been a
Christmas atmosphere about the
old building that is to be found
nowhere else.
Many Of those shopping there
today did not leave as soon after
completing their purchases as
has formerly been customary.
They continued to move among
the stalls, taking a last look at
the festive scene they have en-
joyed since childhood-remember-
ing that their great-grandmothers
may have wandered through the
same aisleS more than q century
ago.
Dealers are Sad
The leaders are sad, too. Some
inherited their business and have
grOwn up and lived most Of their
lives in the building, making
friends Of their neighborS. They
are to be separated after this
year, and no longer viii they look
across the aisleS as they lock up
on Christmas Eve and shout q
hearty Merry Christmas"
The market will remain open
until midnight New Years Eve.
Then every dealer will close his
stand for the last time and wish
his neighbor "Eappy New Year"
But it won't be as happy as the
past, with Center Market gone.

EDWARDS AS :
WITNESS
Convicted Smith officer Has
Year Dropped From Sem
tenCe; Goes to Lorton Friday

John H. Edwards, jr., former
=. H. Smith Company vice presi
dent, who was sentenced to q
three-year prison term for his
part in a conspiracy to Cmbezzle
$5,000,00O Of the company's funds,
will probably appear as a Gov
ernment witness in coming trials
Of former company officials.
Edwards was still quartered at
the District jail today and will
be transported to Lorton (VaO
Reformatory on Friday.
Changes His Attitude
The probability Of Edwal ds' ap-
pearance as a Government wit
ness arose at yesterdays proceed
ingS when Nugent Dodds, prosecu-
tion counsel, evidenced complete
change of the attitude Of the
Government wards Edwards
throughout the four-week trial.
The 28-year-old prisoner has
had several conferences with Mr..
Dodds and agents Of the Depart
ment Of Justice within the past
few days.
Although the prosecutor main
tainS a strict silence on the re-
suit of these conferences, Sensa-
tional surprises are expected
within the immediate future. ,
May Take the Stand
It is held likely that Edwards
may testify against q. Bryan
Pitts, SO, who faces trial in the
near future on a charge Of en-
bezzlement Of Smith Company
funds.
Pitts and C. Albert Anadale, 80,
were convicted with Edwards last
week. Pitts was sentsnced to
serve a 14-year term yesterday
and Anadale was ordered to serve
o 9-year term.
Edwards may also appear for
the prosecution in the coming
trial Of Pitts, Anadale, Repre-
sentative Fred Zihlman. Of Mary
land, Daniel r. Crissinger and
former officials Of the company,
on a charge Of using the mails
to defraud. Edwards was also
indicted in this case.
Immediately after a four-year
sentence was pronounced on Ed
wards he was taken to a room
on the basement floor Of the
court. Later, his term was reduced
by one year.
