CAPPER INQUIRY
MAY BROADEN
SCOPE TODAY -
D. C. Tax Assessor to Be
Asked for Data; Landlords
And Tenants Questioned

The wide scope Of the inves-
tigation by Senate District
subcommittee of the "rental
conditions in Washington, ex-
tending even to alley dwell
ings, will be determined def
nitely at an executive session
of the inquiry group this
afternoon.
This meeting follows an initial
hearing conducted late yesterday
when a half dozen witnesses, in
cluding tenants and landlords,
presented the 1.-TWO sides" Of the
controversy. The hearing lasted
three hours.
Brinkman Slated
Oscar H. Brinkman, former Dis
trict committee clerk and investi'
gator several years ago for the
Blaine subcommittee inquiring into
the real estate mortgage situa-
ton here, has virtually been picked
as attorney-ingestigator for the
current probe.
indicative of the intention Of
the subcommittee to make a
through inquiry was adoption of
q motion by Senator King CD Of
Utah to summon william P. Rich
ards. District tax assessor who is
to prepare data covering the as
sessments on apartment houses,
and also estimates of their pres
ent real worth.
King said data covering as
essments on private houses where
roomerS are taken in also are de-
sired.
Copeland for Alley Quiz
This information from the as
SCISSOR is to guide the committee
in determining whether landlords
are getting exorbitant returns on
their investments.
Decision to investigate rents in
inhabited alleys was prompted by
Senator Copeland CD of New
York after j. C. Holden and R.
A. Ellis, officers of the Better
Citizens Bureau, a negro organ
ization, had testified concerning
squalid conditions in alleys here.
Fulton r, Gordon, large real es-
tate operator, and Mrs. George w.
Levy, owner of an apartment
house, gave the landlords side.
High Costs Cited
They told of the decline in the
real estate business here, the
costs of financing property, and
steadily decreasing return on in
vestments, this return now being
only 3 or 4 per cent. If forced
further to reduce rents, they
agreed, they would have to sacri-
flee their properties.
Several tenants from widely
separated sections of the city
complained that despite reduc-
tions in their income rents have
not come down and they cannot
stand the present scale. Chair
man Arthur Capper said he had
more than 1000 complaints from
tenants.

COURT DECISION SLASEES ELECTRIC RATES
Alley Home Rentals Face Probe BY Senate Group
Veteran Arrested,
Friendly Act,
Glad of 1t

Policeman M. M. Deakins,
station clerk at the Eleventh
Precinct, last night locked up
Joseph Phelan, 33-year-old
veteran from Camp Marks, but
there were no hard feelings
about it today. In fact; Phelan
gives Deakins full credit for
saving him $696.61.
Last night the veteran came
into the station and turned
that sum over to DeakinS, ask
ing him to take care of it.
Phelan had just received the
money as a loan on his bonus.
A half hour later the veteran
came back feeling somewhat
hilarious, and asked for the
money. Deakins locked him
up. This morning Phelan was
profuse in his thanks, saying
he probably would have run
through it," or a large part of
it, had he not been restrained.
He left for home today with
all his money.

DECISION
CUTS RATES ON
CURRENT
1924 Decree Abrogated by
Luhring; New Scale
To Be Adopted

The Public Utilities Commits
sion today won it's fight against
the Potomac Electric Power
Company to junk the method
of fixing electric rates used
since 1924 and adopt a new
scale reducing the company's
rate of return.
The victory came in a decision
handed down by Justice Oscar R.
Luhring in the District Supreme
Court. The case was on appeal
by the company from an order of
the commission issued year ago
setting up the new scale for rates.
Commissioner Riley E. Elgen,
Of the utilities body, estimated
that electric consumers will bene-
fit to the tune of more than
100000 annually as a result of
the new scale approved by the
court.
Material Saving
He stated that for the year end.
ing last June 80 under the new
scale a total of $837.701 would be
available for rate reduction while
under the 1924 consent decree
scale only $5O5,O61 would be avail
able.
In its appeal from the commits
sion's orders, the company con.
tended that the 1924 consent de-
cree was perpetual and the scale
for fixing rates embraced in it
could not be abrogated. The
court sustains the company's con-
tention but under the organic act
Of the Public Utilities Commission
it had a right to abrogate the
decree.
The scale set up in the 1924 de-
cree gave the company a 712 per
cent return on a rate basis Of
32,500,000, plus net additions and
betterments. It provided that
one-half of the excess profits
would be used for rate reductions.
The New Scale
The new scale as set up in the
decision of Justice Luhring pro-
vides:
"If the amount earned is
above 7 per cent and less than
per cent of the rate base.
rates for the following IL
months based upon the busi-
ness done during the IL
months in which such excess
occurred shall be adjusted so
that the gross receipts of the
company shall be reduced by
.OnehaIf of such excess; if the
amount of the returns is in
excess of 8 per cent and less
than 9 Eer cent an additional
amount of three fOurths of the
said excess above 8 per cent
shall be used for the reduction
of rates; if the amount earned
is in excess of 8 per cent
further additional amount of
five-sixths of the excess above
per cent shall be used in like
manner for the reduction of
rates."

VETERAN'S s GUN
MAY BRING
LAW TEST.
Secondhand Dealer Is Said
to Have Sold Weapon
Without Legality

Alleged sale of a pistol to a
veteran of the bonus expedi-
tionary force may lead to
prosecution of a proprietor of
a secondhand shop on Seventh
Street Northwest, as the first
case under a new law to, re-
strict sale Of weapons here.
The law tookleffect July s.
The veteran, Scott Johnson,
colored, 81, is held for investiga-
ton at the Eleventh precinct.
Johnson bought an automatic
pistol yesterday. following his re-
ceipt of bonus loan money under
the new law abolishing the two
year period of the first bonus
loan law.
Threatened Another
At Camp Marks last night the
veteran threatened to shoot an
other man, police say, and when
a report was received a search
was made for him.
Station Clerk M. M. Deakins
saw johnson passing the station
house in a taxicab and recognized
him from a description police
had given.
Deakins ran out, got into his
own car. and pursued the cab,
oVertaking it at Eleventh and M
Streets southeast.
Johnson was intoxicated, police
say. He made two attempts to
hang himself after he was placed
in a cell, following which police
took his shirt ana trousers away
from him.
Bought Gun for $40
The, colored man told Lieut.,
L. E. Kelly he had bought the
gun for $40 and had gone through
no formalities. The new law re-
quires all gun dealers to be IL
censed and to hold applications
from would.be purchasers for "a
hours before a sale is consumated.
Kelly said there was no record
of this sale, nor is there a record
of a license having been issued
the dealer. !
When arrested, Johnson had
about $35 left of several hundred
he received as a bonus loan, when
arrested.

POUND MAY GET
10000 DOGS

About 10000 dogs now running
about Washington have no legal
rights whatever.
The dog license year extends
from July to July, but dog own
ers this year were given a months
grace and have until August to
equip their pooches with 1928
tags.
Too many owners, apparently,
thought this leniency could go on
forever. August / is nearing fast,
and there are 10000 dogs, so the
PoundmaSter says, which must
soon come under his ministra-
tions, unless tags are bought.
Dog owners must pay him 50 to
redeem each pet taken, and going
into Police Court probably will
cost each owner IS more, he says.
