2 * DECISION SOUGHT ON' SUBMETERING Suit Involves Right to Resell | | Electric Current to Tenants | | of Building. Buit to enjoin the Public Utilities | Commission and the Potomac Electric | Power Co. from putting into effect a | Tecent order of the commission deny- iny the right of owners of apartments; and office buildings to sell electric cur- | Tent to their tenants by subm!mrlng; ywas filed today in the District Supreme | Court by Myron P. Lewis, Robert A.| Nordbloom and the Beacon Trust Co. of Boston, who hold title as trustees 10 the Adams Building, 1333-35 F street. The plaintiffs assert the commission has no business to interfere with the disposition of current after it has been purchased from the utility corporation | 2nd that unless the court intervenes | the plaintiffis will suffer a financial loss «af about $5,000 a year from this source. | The trustees point out that their build- | ing has been equipped for service from | a central meter, which has been in operation since 1924. The court is advised that such re- metering has been in practice since 1915. with the power company selling | to the owners at wholesale prices and the owners reselling to their tenants at retail prices. The power company has served notice, the plaintiffs say, that unless arrangements are made at once 1o eliminate submetering in the Adams Building electric service will be dis- continued. This, they say. will work frreparable injury to their business, 1o prevent which they invoke the aid of | the court. Attorneys Mason, Spalding & McAtee appear for the plaintiffs, —— TWO MEN CONVICTED UNDER LIQUOR STATUTE| ¥red Middledorf and Dennis Graves | Found Guilty of Transportation and Possession of Beer. A Police Court jury returned a ver- dict of guilty todzy against Fred Middledorf and Denius Graves, colored, on trial for transportation and posses- sion of liquor. The liquor, consisting | of a large quantity of beer, is said to have been seized when the men were | arrested more than a year ago. | According to the testimony of Fed- eral Prohibition Agent B. N. Quinn, he ‘observed the men driving a truck in the 2000 block of Seventh street. The men are said to have halted to deliver a | case of ginger ale when asked if they knew where he might obtain a bottle of beer. They are said to have pro- duced an uniabeled bottle from the in- terior of the truck, and Quinn arrested ithem on the liquor charge. Elias Duke and James R. Bowen, ar- rested for alleged complicity in the transaction, were released today, as Quinn could not identify them as hav- % accompanied the other two at the e of the arrest. Middledorf and Graves will be sen- tenced Saturday. 1 LIEUT. STORRS SHIFTED. Naval “Sea Hawk” Is Put on Duty; at Anacostia Station. | Lieut. Aaron P.
