charge of kidnapping her 9-year'
old child, Warren, from Spotsyl'

ANNUAL SAVING
ESTIMATED
S35O,OOO
Hearing to Be Held BY
Board to Determine
Beneficiaries

Approval of the washington Gas
Light Company's proposal for IN
immediate reduction of $350,000
annually in rates and plan for
the future adjustment Of rates will
be announced shortly by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission, it was
indicated today.
Members of the commission an.
nounced that before they take
action on the offer, submitted late
yesterday, they will call a hear
ing to consider it in detail. The
hearing will be held within the
next two weeks.
Approved by p. U. @. Counsel
Peoples Counsel William A.
Roberts, credited with having engl.
neered the offer from attorneys
for the gas company, and the
commissions attorneys, Corpora
tion Counsel E. Barrett Pretty.
man and his assistant, Hinman d.
Folsom, informed the commission
they approved the proposal.
According to the announcement
made by Marcy Sperry, president
Of the gas company, the reduc-
tion in rates will amount to $780,
600 a year. This includes $780,.
600 for the current S1a per cent
discount on all bills, which will
be made permanent.
Under terms of the company's
proposal, valuation of 81 million
dollars plus a working capital Of
$75O,000 will be used each year
in fixing rates. The company
will be given a 61a per cent re-
turn. Rates will be fixed under q
sliding scale designed to keep the
return as close as possible to the
rate of return.
To Determine Beneficiaries
At the coming hearing it is ex.
pected the commission will con-
slider schedules in the commercial
and domestic brackets which
would particularly benefit from
the rate reduction. This pro-
cedure has been followed in the
past, usually with the greater
commercial schedules.
Although Mr.. Sperry in max
ing the offer acted also for the
pany'S subsidiaries - the
Georgetown Gas Light Company
and the Prince Georges (Md0
Gas Co.-the reduction will not
apply to the nearby Maryland
consumers. The Prince Georges
Company was brought into the
picture because it owns a 10000
900 cubic foot gas holder near
Chillum, Md, used principally
for storage of gas for use Of
Washington consumers.

Washington Youths
Held Without Bail
In Alexandria

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Nov. 10.
Three Washington youths were
held in jail without bail today fol-
lowing an alleged attempt to at.
tack an Alexandrian, and another
attack on an Alexandria police
man in resisting arrest.
Private George Embrey, of the
local police department, was
treated at the Alexandria Hos
pital for injuries sustained when
the car he attempted to stop
wedged him between it and Q
police scout car.
Those held in Jail, to stand trial
tomorrow, are Paul Sanford, 81,
Of the 400 block of G st. N. W..

Gee. 20. of the 100 block of H
st. N. E., both held for investiga
ton and disorderly conduct.
Threatened Alexandria Man
Local police say the trio's car
was being sought after Orlando
Pulzone, IS, of 211 West Peyton
Ave-, had reported that they were
coming to Alexandria to "get him. 3"
As told by police, the story is as
follows:
Officers Embrey and William
A. BaylisS spotted the suspected
car in the 400 block of Mount
Vernon avenue and pulled along
side 1t and ordered the driver to
stop. When Embrey stepped from
the police car the other car
started, cutting in toward the po-
lice car, wedging Embrey between
the two and then sped away.
The three youths were picked
UP by Washington police, as they
drove up in front of a lunch
room, and returned to Alexandria
police.
Disorderly conduct charges were
preferred against the trio by Mr..
Pulzone, who refused to divulge
the reason why the Washington
men were "after him" He told
police the same three had run
him out of his house about a week
ago."

STUDENTS ASK
FOR BYRDAS
PRESIDENT
! 1000 Sign Petition
To Maryland Univ.
Board of Regents

H. C. Byrd, acting president Of
the University of Maryland, today
can count on the support of al
most half the student body if he
has ambitions to succeed to the
presidency of the institution, an
office which has been vacant
since DR.. r. A. Pearson's custer
last June.
In a student petition circu-
lated during the last several days
by Ruth Hickey, president Of the
Women'S League, and Richard
Zimmerman, mems representative
of the Student Executive Council,
close to. 1000 students last night
had indicated that they thought
Mr.. Byrd was the logical" man
for the office.
Call Byrd Logical
Miss Hickey said:
"Our aim is to let the public
know that the students of the
school are interested in the Selec-
tion of the man who is to head
this institution. We feel that Mr..
Byrd is the logical man to be
given this responsibility"
When the petition is completed,
Miss Hickey said it would be sent
to the board of regents, which
has the authority to name new
president.
Board in No Hurry
The board has indicated that 1t
is in no hurry to select a new
executive and that the appoint
ment probably will not be made
until the early part of next year.
Since DR.. Pearson was asked
by the board to resign last spring
as a climax to q student and
faculty inSurrection against his
administration, speculation as to
the selection of a new president
has centered around the names
of several prominent Maryland
ers, among whom are Senator
George L. Radcliffe, former Sen
ator Joseph I. France and ex-
Governor Albert C. Ritchie. How
ever, Mr.. Byrd's name has been
the most prominently mentioned.

SQUANDER|NG
ISCHARGED

Mrs. Marietta E. Johnson, first
block @ st. N. E., who sued her
husband, Meredith w. johnson,
for absolute divorce in District
Supreme Court on grounds of un-
faithfulness several months ago,
sought leave to amend her petit
ton today to accuse her husband
Of squandering her inheritance.
Mrs. ohnson in her motion says
that in July, 1882, when she be-
came 81 years of age, she re-
ceived an inheritance of more
than $500 and her husband
stopped working.
He squandered the inheritance
within three months, she says,
and still remained in a state of
idleness, so that she had to run
a rooming house in order to main
tain a family income.
