ROOSEVELT DELAYS STUDY
Will Take Up d. C. Budget on Re-
turn to Washington.
a Star CORRESPONDENT of The Star

By STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
WARM SPRINGS, Ga, November
26.-President Roosevelt will not COM
plete his study of the 1861 budget
for the District of Columbia until after
he arrives back in Washington the
second week in December.
Resuming his budget studies today
with a group of associates he discov-
cred that the complete details of the
District budget estimates were lacking
and that he would have to postpone
finishing this task until he returns to
the Capital.
1t was actually Daniel w. Bell, act
ing director of the Budget Bureau,
who, with Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau and Representative Bu-
chanan of Texas, chairman of the
House Appropriations Committee, in
formed the President of the uncom-
pleted state Of the figures relating to
the estimates for the Districts budget.
Bell said last night after spending the
greater part of the day with the Presi-
dent that because of the lateness in
concluding the hearings back in
Washington dealing with the District
budget estimates it was impossible to
have the figures in complete form for
final study.

ELECTRIC PROBE
ORDER PREPARED
Heavier Slash in Charges
Than in January Is Be-
Iieved Likely.

Prospects of a heavier slash In
charges for electric current IN January
than the $147,o00 applied in rate re-
ductions last year arose today as
the Public Utilities Commission pre-
pared q formal order for investiga-
ton.
Public hearing is to be held the
first week in January, according to
present plans, on the basic rate of
return to be allowed the company
under the sliding scale arrangement,
on the method of determining ex-
cess profits to affect future consumer
rate reductions, and on consideration
Of company properties as used and
useful" in giving service.
The commission today has figures
showing the net operating revenues
of the Potomac Electric Power Co.
during the first nine months of 1885
were some $4,000 greater than for
the same period last year. Total
revenue figures for this year will not
be available until the end of the
year.
The company now is allowed a net
return of per cent on an agreed
valuation of some $1,000, 900. If this
should be cut to 6.5 per cent, some
S330,000 more would be involved in
calculation for partial use in fu-
ture customer rate cuts. If the rate
of return should be cut to per
cent, twice that sum would be in
volved in consumer rate calculations.
The P. E. P. Co. retains all its ex-
cess profits, but under the present
plan half of the excess profits between
2 and 81 per cent is considered the
sum to be applied in future rate cuts:
three-fourthS of excess profits between
81 and 9 per cent rate of return, and
f1ve-sixths of profits above per cent.
Peoples Counsel William A. Rob-
erts yesterday asked the commission
to include 13 specific points in the
investigation and hearing. Among
these were: Investigation of the con-
tract under which high tension power
lines are maintained between the
P. E. P. Co. and the Safe Harbor
transmission plant; adequacy of the
capacity of the P. E. P. Co. and the
effect upon such capacity Of extensions
of service in Maryland and Virginia;
reasonableness of the charge to the
Capital Transit Co., particularly in
view of abandonment of many miles
of street car operations and substitu-
ton of busses.
The commission broadened its orig
inal investigation plan to include study
of company property used and use
full" in District power service.

Issuing of Request Auto Tags
Paysm Safety, Says Van Duzer

Catering to the personal foibles of
car-owners in the matter of special
license numbers is good idea, thinks
Traffic Director William A. Van DuZer.
Whatever extra trouble it causes, he
explains, Is Offset by an added exertion
on the part Of favored drivers to be
more careful.
1--WE expect that favor" says Van
Duzer, "and find it repaid in the long
run. A comparison of the output of
warrants issued annually on numbers
below 10000 (the largest request
group with those above proves this"
Each year, so far as is physically
possible, these vagaries of choice as to
license numbers are granted. The odd
reasons for requesting specific num-
bers are as many as the list of numbers
itself. Superstition and vanity, fear
and pride are behind the many pleas
for certain numbers.
Some sl1un the number i3, even any
combination adding to 13. Again, as
many requests come In for It, 1888

HIGH COURT REFUSES
DIVORCE CASE RULING

BY the Associated Press.
Mrs. Jessie Margaret Wilson Bud
long Of Tucson, Ariz., failed yesterday
in an attempt to have her rights de-
termined as the lawful wife" of Mil
ton John Budlong. socially prominent
in New York and Newport, R. I.
The Supreme Court refused to pass
on the action of the Federal District
Court at Tucson and the Court of
Appeals at San Francisco in dismiss
ing her petition.
They were married at Scranton, Pa,
in 1898 and divorced in Rhode Island
in 1928. She contended the divorce
was "fraudulently obtained" and
"void."
In her petition she told the court
marriage 'is ceasing to have any other
meaning than legal arrangement to
live together, not until death do us
part but until one spouse happens
to find another whom he likes better
than the old one"

INJUNCTION REASONS

BY the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court yesterday or
dered Federal district courts to state
definite reasons in granting tempo

An amendment to equity rules said
that in granting or denying inter-
locutory temporary injunctions the
courts must separately "set forth its
findings of fact and conclusions of
law which constitute the grounds of
Its action"
Lawyers explained the move was
designed to assure a more complete
record Of both fact and law to guide

Court attendants said the rule was

the change was prompted by numerous
