Three speed demons, who &C

at the wheels of three Gold Cup
boats, which acknowledge no SUI
periors in their class for speed,
will begin their battle for suprem-

annual Presidents Cup Regatta
at $3.50 o'clock in the Georgetown
channel today. The final two
heats will be run tomorrow.

Company Expected to Contest
$29,000,0O0 Valuation
Decreed by P. U. c.

A 10 per cent reduction on
all telephone exchange service,
except private branch ex-
changes, effective October l,
was ordered today by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission.
Despite the order, it is not
expected that the public will
share the benefits Immediately,
as the Chesapeake & Potomac
Telephone Company undoubt-
edly will seek to restrain the
commission from putting the
order in effect by applying for
an injunction in District Su-
preme Court.
The order is based on a rate
hearing which began last June
and extended over three months.
Valuation Put at 2S,4OO,OOO
AS result of this hearing, the
commission found as facts that
the valuation of the company
was not greater than $29, 400, 900;
that under present conditions, a
6 per cent return would be rea-
sonable; that the net revenue for
1892, based on the rates estab-
liShed, will not be less than
$1,000, 900. and that for the 1888
year, will be not less than ST.
100000.
The commission also found
that the 6 per cent rate of re-
turn will enable the company to
pay all it's fixed charges, divi-
dends at the rate of Sc share
annually on all outstanding stock
and carry balance to surplus.
Claimed $36,OOO,OOO
At the hearing, attorneys for
the company claimed valuation
of more than $4,000, 600, which
is $7,000,0OO more than the value
estimated by the commission.
From this point alone. it is evil
dent the company will appeal to
the court to restrain execution of
the order.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
William A. Roberts conducted the
commissions case at the hearing.
r. A. Van, Orsdel and George

for the company.

The deputies were sent to the
picket line when a telephone call
was received from someone who
said several trucks were being
held up by the striking farmers
and that the truck drivers
wanted escorts through the
picket lines.
Four cars of deputies went to
the scene. They were not
molested as they drove through
the picket camp looking for the
trucks. When they returned to
the camp enroute back to town,
however, they were bombarded

Alice Rdum taking dictation By tele-

many business Offices noao.
Telephone dictation as means Of
expediting business routine is now
being utilized by many large COM
panies. It has been found that much
time is saved, Interruptions are pre-
vented and greater efficiency Of steno-
graphic forces is experienced.
Instead Of calling stenographers to
their offices to take shorthand dicta-
ton of Acknowledgements, short let
tiers and brief reports or memoranda,
business men and women are tele-
phoning such items to typists in a
centralized bureau. In some cases the
stenographers type as the dictator
talks; in others notes are made for
transcribing later.
Office management experts find this
practice interesting because it opens
Q new field for further efficiency pio-
neering. 1t suggests the telephones
possibilities for even more versatile
service.
Telephone dictation is now being
used successfully by the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Companies
and other Bell system companies. The
