other taxis wanted to go places. Horns
blared In disgust and warning but
she and her male escort, both fresh
in from New York, continued to search
for the hat while a crowd gathered at
the west approach to Union Station.
Their luggage resting nearby on the
sidewalk the man and woman had by
this time assumed kneeling posture
at one side of the taxi, heads thrust
under the running board as they
peered into the darkness.
Unable to attract the attention of the
visitors by mere shouts above the din,
the taxi driver alighted and calmly
tapped the lady where she stopped
the most. Just then, hat found and
clutched, the lady's gentleman friend
came up with the hat in his left hand
and planted a knockout right on the
surprised chauffer's jaw. In the en-
suing excitement, the new arrivals
escaped in another taxi.

NEW GAS RATE
IN EFFECT

BETHESDA, Md, Feb. New
gas rate schedules which will save
Montgomery county gas con-
sumers approximately $4,000
were placed into effect in the
county today by the washington
and Georgetown Gas Light Com
panies of Montgomery county.
The $4,000 annual decrease
represents a reduction of approx.
mately 1913 per cent. This reduc-
tion, however, will absorb the
temporary one of 8.5 per cent,
ordered by the Maryland Public
Service Commission about a year
ago, so the actual reduction over
former rates totals about $1,000
per year.
The new schedules will apply
to both domestic and commercial
services as well as persons using
gas for home heating purposes.

didate for the Republican presi-
dental nomination IN order to en-
ter the Ohio primaries, it was
learned today.
The Borah movement in Ohio
apparently was handicapped by
that well.known political obstacle,
described as a shortage of funds"
His friends in the Buckeye State
were willing to head a Boran-for-
President campaign, and the Idaho
Senator appeared willing to sub
NIT his name. but lack Of funds"
may block the drive.
Borah's movement in Ohio has
been led by former Senator Ros-
coe C. McCulloch, Judge Daniel
z. Morgan, Of Cleveland; and
John knight, Of Akron. They
have been in frequent communi-
cation with the Senator in the
last 48 hours.
Borah'S political advisers have
urged him to enter the contest
for Ohio's 50 votes in the Cleve-
land convention. The primary
will be held May IL. They have
asserted he can carry the State
and win q pledged delegation.
With Ohio's endorsement, they
argue, he will go into the Cleve
land convention q formidable
candidate for the nomination
since Ohio will be one Of the key
States in the 1898 election.
