ESEDON, July 26.-Now that the
Prince of Wales has become proficient
pilot it will not be surprising if he does
considerable solo flying in the near fu-
ture, a prospect which causes uneasi-
ness in some quarters. 1t is understood
that he has already flown alone in his
own machine.
Prince George also. according to to-
days Daily Telegraph, has really done
solo flying, for although he was accom-
panied by one of Wales pilots, dual
controls were removed so that Prince
George would have sole control of the
machine.
The airplane is now the Prince OF
Wales chief medium of travel when his
engagements are at any appreciable
distance from London. He landed at
Birmingham Friday en- route to Car
narvon, being advised by the air min
iStry that the weather ahead was un-
safe. He has adopted an original and
colorful type of air toys. one of his suits

NO RELIEF IN SIGHT
FROM LOCAL HEAT
ThundershoWers May Give
Capital Temporary Respite
Tomorrow Afternoon.

Searching wide over the weather map
of the country and the seas beyond,
Forecaster Charles L. Mitchell of the
United States Weather Bureau can find
no cool air on the way to Washington,
so today, as he has done for the past
fortnight, he predicts that Washington
will continue to swelter for the next
SO hours at least.
Only one ray of hope for break in
the temperature is held by the Weather
Bureau Thundershowers for tomor-
row afternoon are included in the gen.
eral forecast for the northeastern por-
ton of the Country, with the Capital
hanging on the somewhat ragged edge
of this area.
Possibly the showers will come to-
morrow afternoon to bring temporary
relief" Mr.. Michel states, but he
adds: "Thun6ershowers are the most
difficult things in this whole weather.
forecasting business to pin down to a
time and place, and while il is prac-
tically certain they'll visit sections north
of Washington, 1t is not so certain
here"
If they do come, the forecaster states,
they'll bring only temporary relief.
Rainfall of this sort, he points out, can
ture, and 1t will get hot again after
the effect of the rainfall has been dis
sipated.
For this afternoon and tomorrow aft
ernoon, barring the aforementioned
showers, the Weather Bureau expects
the mercury to climb into the COS, with
drops to around 10 or rs tonight and
tomorrow night.
Burnt Mills Dam Rises.
The Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission was able to shut down its
pumping plant at the Burnt Mills Reser-
voir last night and supply water to
nearby Maryland from the District
mains.
This was accomplished by consider
ably greater intake through the con-
nection between the two systems at
Chevy Chase than formerly had been
possible.
As result, the water level in the res
ervoir rose inches from S o'clock yes
terday evening to o'clock this morn
ing. Robert B. Morse. chief engineer of
the commission, said today, however,
that the extra water stored up in the
reservoir during the night probably will
be used today
The commission was able to take an
increased quantity of water through
the Chevy Chase connection by reduce
ing the pressure in its mains to the low
est point compatible with public safety,
thus allowing the water to flow from
the District into Maryland. Almost
half million gallons of water were
taken through this connection and a
like amount at the Rhode Island ave-
nue. connection.
Odicials of the commission said that
a tendency to disregard the recently
promulgated regulations prohibiting
sprinkling was manifest in several COM
munitieS last night, but that the Of
tenders desisted when warned.

Villaneuva, former commercial at
tache of the Venezuelan legation In
Paris, vanished last week His absence
was reported on July II. when it was

funds of individuals.
The young banker, who has a wife
and child, was said to have written let

ing them he intended to commit sui

The bank officials, answering in
quiries regarding reports that there
we're discrepancies in the bank accounts,
said Villanueva had used none of the

Subsequently the bank itself swore
out warrant for Villanueva's arrest.
The irregularities, it later was stated,
were all in accounts of persons who
had intrusted him with their funds.
Villanueva was one of the officers
empowered to sign documents, securities
and other papers for the bank. He is
a Venezuelan, but no longer is covered
by diplomatic immunity, having for
some months been off the roster of the
Venezuelan legation. He is the son of
a former charge d'affaires of Venezuela.

not been seen since July z, until giving
himself up today to the court which
the Department of Justice had assigned

AMERICANS LOSE
DOUBLESTOFRENCH
AIlison-van Ryn Fall Before
CoChet- Brugnon, 6-3, rs,

ROLAND GARROS STADIUM, Au-
teuil, France. July 26.-The French
team of Henri Cochet and Jacques
Brugnon scored surprising victory over
the American combination of Wilmer
Allison and John Van Ryn in NE
doubles play today of the challenge
round of the Davis Cup. The scores
were 6-3, rs, 1-6, 60.
The highly favored American young
sters, victors over the French In the
challenge round last year and cham
pions at Wimbledon this season, were
no match for Cochet's smashing attack
and the superb serving of the veteran
Brugnon
The French paraded through the first
set, found a bit sitter opposition in
the second as Wilmer Allison steadied
somewhat after an cratic start, and
then dropped the third set when Brug-
non weakened. After a 10-minute rest,
Cochet and Brugnon came back to
smash the American opposition with
ease.
The victory all but removes any hope
the United States had of lifting the
cup, lost to France in 1927. The
French now lead in matches 2 to /.
with the final pair of singles scheduled
for tomorrow
President Doumergue of France, ar
rived at the stadium during the pre-
liminaries. He stood before the Davis
Cup, placed on pedestal near one
end of the courts and shook hands
with the members of both teams, who
lined up before the cup.
French Start Strong.
The French combination sailed away
to fine start in the first set. Cochet,
victor over George Lott in the singles
yesterday, won his service after deuce
in the first game and the Frenchmen
broke through Van Ryn's delivery to
lead 20 in games. Brugnon then add
ed his own service to the win column
and the count stood 80 for the French.
A superb tennis battle developed as
Allison, serving strongly, won the first
game for the United States team.
Cochet faltered in his delivery and the
young Americans broke through to
make it "a against them in games.
Van Ryn captured his service and the
count stood 3-3, after some of the fast
est tennis ever seen on these courts.
The six games were played in nine
minutes.
Once the score was tleo az S-3, the
Frenchmen rallied, attacked fiercely
and ran off the next three games to
take the opening set, 6-3.
Cochet and Burgnon played as Ii they
realized that to win at all they must
win quickly. In the last three games
Cochet's smashing attack overwhelmed
the American youngsters and the
Frenchmen concentrated on Allison eff
fectively. The Texan made many errors
as the pace grew hot.

Peoples Counsel Keech Files
Petition to Be Taken
Up Monday.
1914 LAST APPRAISAL
FOR EITHER COMPANY
Move Is Result of Justice Bailey's
Tare.Raise Opinion Citing Utih.
ties Group Authority.

Peoples Counsel Richmond B. Keech
today filed with the Public Utilities
Commission a petition for revaluation
of the street car companies. The petit
ton will be taken up by the commission
at its regular semi-monthly meeting
Monday afternoon.
The petition was the direct outcome
of the action of justice Jennings Bailey,
District Supreme Court, in raising the
street car fare in Washington to 10 cents.
No valuation of either concern has
been undertaken since 1914. The court
held that on the showing the COM
panies made, the Capital Traction Co.. S
valuation was not less than 25.728, 683,
on which it was earning return of
3.57 per cent; the valuation of the
Washington Railway g. Electric Co. was
given In the opinion as SIG, 21O 1893 .33,
on which that company was earning a
return of 4.73 per cent.
These valuations were arrived at by
taking the commissions original valua-
ton, adding the net value of additions
and betterments to date and subtract
ing the value of retirements and aban-
the court said: ut appears that the
commission has under consideration a
motion for revaluation. / do not think
that this court should act upon such a
motion primarily, unless 1t be necessary
for a determination of the matter be-
fore 1t, and I do not think it is neces-
sary that the commission should order
a revaluatioh, as 1t unquestionably has
the power to do. It would have the
power also to pass upon the reason
ableness of the rate of fare fixed by
fixed by such retaliation"
Gives Reasons for Move.
Mr.. Keech used these words of the
judges opinion in support of his argu-
ment for the revaluation. Many other
reasons are submitted. Summarized,
they are as follows:
"a There has been no physical in
ventory of the properties of the COM
panies and their subsidiaries since 1914.
(2) Since that inventory and the
valuation following it, many radical
changes have taken place in prices and
equipment, as well as method and in
struments used for putting trackage
and other equipment and parts into
place and operation.
of the two railway systems have been
abandoned or replaced without any
very exact accounting as to which of
the equipment is new and which Is old.
"a Adding to the valuation fixed
after the inventory of 1914, the value
of additions and betterments results in
an excessive valuation; the reconstruct
ton of individual units is higher than
that of the system as whole.
(5) Much of the trackage, car barns

since passed the duration of their esti-
mated lives and ought to have dis
