FILE AMENDMENTS T0 GAS RATE GUT Public Utilities Commission to Discuss Amended Pro- posal Wednesday. The Washington Gas Light Co. yes- terday filed with the Public Utilitles Commission two amendments of its pro- posed rate reduction schedule, to cor- rect errors which had escaped unnoticed in the first draft. ‘The first amendment deals with do- mestic consumers. ‘The domestic rate first filed was stated to be for consum- ers having a use of not to exceed 200 cubic feet per hour, but no arrange- ment was made for any domestic con- sumer using more than this, unless he ‘was using it for house heating. The amendment strikes out the 200-cubic- feet requirement, and makes the domes. tic rates apply to all domestic con- sumers, regardless of how much they use per hour, unless they heat their homes with gas. ‘The second amendment deals with large commercial consumption. In the schedule as filed, it was found by com- putation that under certain circum- stan more than ilar amounts at present. This by introducing & new rate of 75 cents 85 cent rate in the schedule flnt filed. ‘The amended schedule will be dis- cussed before the Public Utilities Com-~ mhlon in an open hearing next Wed- SEES GOLD SHORTAGE Senator Pitman Blames England !or Wnfld Banking Threat.

REPORTED OBJECTIONS TO PURCHASE DENIED Treasure Kept in Zinc-Lined Trunk, Sealed Pending Arrangements for Exhil ‘The Gutenberg Bible, purchased this Summer by a congressional appropria- tion for the Library of Congress, has been brought to Washington from Aus- tria by Herbert Putnam, librarian of Congress, it was announced today. This Bible was printed on vellum by’ Gutenberg some time before 1456. It was the central item of the collec- tion of incunabula, or fifteenth cen- tury books, of Dr. Otto F. H. Voll- behr, wealthy German cellector, which moopurchlud by Congress for $1,- 500, Book Has Colorful History. The book, one of the first printed volumes in the world, has a colorful history. Its existence became known to modern scholars in the eighteenth century when it was found in the Bene- dictine _abbey of St. Blasius in the Black Forest. Its previous history is somewhat uncertain, but it is believed to have been sold the Benedictines in Paris by Johan t, or Faust, Gu- tenberg's partner and the original of the Faust legend which has been used 80 rrequenny in lterature. Faust, ac- cording to the story, ‘“cheated” the Benedictines. He is said to have mis- represented the book as a manuscript. After the French revolution the friars, fearing that the French army, which had come over the Rhine would '-hflr loot the monastery, transferred the book to the abbey of Einsiedeln in Switzerland. When this, in turn, be- came unsafe in the stirring days of the Napoleonic wars, they retired to the nbbey Spital am Pyhrn in Upper Aus- tfll. ‘which they had been invited by Emperor Francis II. From here they moved in 1809 to the monastery of St. Paul in Carinthia, where the Bible has remained ever since. In 1926 the abbot of St. Paul, need- ing funds for the restoration on_ the monastery, sold the Bible to Dr. Voll- behr, Dr. Vollbehr had plmned to bring the Bible to WI.sth self, but evidently plans weu changed with the nmvu of Dr. Putnam in Austria. Austrian Objections Denied. Dispatches from Vienna last@month said that the Austrian government had objected to removal of the Bible from the country, but this is denied by the Library of Congress. An export duty of flfi 000 was collected on the oook. soon_as arrangements can be mlde the Bible will be placed on ex- hibtion adjacent to the portrait of Gutenberg, lnrmnmd to the library by Gabriel Wells of New York. ‘The volume is now ir & vault in the office of Dr. Putnam, sealed In a cubical, zinc-lined trunk. The seal will not be broken, Dr. Putnam said, until the book can be placed in its proper setting. Price Rumors Denied. The following statement was issued May by the Library of Congress: “The transaction for the wquhmon of the Bible was one purely between Dr. Vollbehr and the monastery. It was he, therefore, who paid the purchase price and all the incidentals, including the export duty. The sole part paid by the authorities of the Library in the settlement in Austria was to convenience him in making the final payment. As between him and the Library of Con- gress, the Bible has at no time been valued as en item. The $1,500,000 paid to him was for the collection as a whole, 'hlch"q! uite apart from the Bible, has ued at over that sum. It is quite incorrect to say that the Library has pald over $300,000 for the Bible, and there is still less warrant for the statement which appeared in European ipers that the len.ry was pay- on | newspaper: ing over 01 500,000 !nr i MIDGET GOL GOLF COURSES MAY BE OPEN UNTIL 1 A.M.

The Commissioners yesterday listened to the plea of the Association of Minia- ture Golf Course Operators for the ex- tension on the ground that much busi- ness can be done after 11:30 by accom- modating players who have come from attending moving picture or theater performances.

The tide of empire westward, the trail of the covered wagons, across the prairies, the deserts and the Rock- ies, beset by hundreds of dangers, will be told in the play that will be the principal feature of the annual Mili- tary Exposition and Carnival to be held at the Army War College September 25, 26 and 27, it was announced today. ‘The Dlly. deplcfin' the part 'mye.d“:l; travel by covered wagon, is a departure from the usual practice for these shows, hich heretofore have drawn from the wealth of material provided by the World War. Marking the 100th anniversary of the departure of the first wagon train from St. Louis for Oregon, in 1830, the play, “The Perils of the Plains,” has been prepared for this year’s show and will be given at afternoon and evening per- formances ihroughout the carnival. Ox teams have been leeufled from the farms of St. Mary’s County, Ma COV- ered wagons have been rigged ln«r the style of 100 years ago, hard-riding Fort Myer clulryman vnll be the Indians who will battle the transcontinental emigrants and the blue-blad cavalrymen who will come to Teses: the wide parade ground the phy wlll be given, the production being cast on a large scale, with lmpuneu hidden in the prairie schooners and other places where néeded to carry voices of the players to the stands ranged nlong the parade ground. Another new feature of the show this year will be a realistic fight between an Army plane and a tank. The fight will take place with real machine guns popping and the plane dropping live bombs on the tank. Flyers from Bolling Fleld will engage in “dog-fights” and provide stunt fly- ing over the parade grounds throughout the three days of the show. th Field Artillery, from fort Myer, as in former years, will give an exhibition of artillery in action and execute intricate drill movements. The infantry of the Washington Bar- racks will provide silent drills and en- e in combat with a “strafing” plane rom Bolling Fleld. Bridge to Be Built. ‘The Army Engineers will build a bridge on the le ground in a few minutes. Artillery, tanks and a wagon train will pass over it and then it will be blown up for the spectators. ‘Tanks will fight each af-her and at- tack Artillery, In addition there will be the com- plete military exposition which has been a part of the show every yeaf, forms of Army equipment, characterizing all branches of the serv- ice, on display. There will be big and little guns, fleld kitchens, radios, aerial photography equipment, urpllnu of tha standard types in use in the Army tanks, a collection of uni- {omu of all periods in the history of the Army, tractors, chemical warfare equipment, weapons of all kinds and machines for making weapons. ‘The play, the principal feature, was written and is being directed by Maj. R. R. Lawrence of the War College. Maj. Lawrence also has painted the posters being distributed about town announcing the event, and painted the scene which will adorn the cover of the catnival programs. Leading parts in the play will be taken by Maude Howell Smith, Vir- ginia Lawrence, Maurice Jarvis and Katherine Tennant Marshall. Picturesque Prairie Scenes. ‘The opening of the drama will find the long, slow-moving prairie schooner train drawn by oxen onto the parade 'ro‘nd with all the picturesqueness of old covered wagons recaptured. Herda of, cattle will be driven along- side the train; there will be children walking beside the wagons, dogs trot- ting beneath them, babes in arms peep- 111‘ from beneath the wagons’ broad les, and stern men, armed and wnt ful, driving or riding slowly alongside, scouts ranging far to warn of attacks by Indians and looking for water. ‘There will be an attack by the In- @lans, with some fancy riding exhibi- tions to be given by the attackers, hand-to-hand battles between the In- dians and the emigrants and a thrill- ing rescue by United States Cavalry. All this will be “in sound,” Maj. Law- rence says, with a pretty .little love story brought out between a youth of the wagon train and a girl, who are planning & happy little homestead on the fertile shores of the Pacific. The annual exposmun was inaugu- rated three years ago for the benefit of the Army Relief Soclety and other Army charities, It has become an out- standing national demonstration of what the Army is doing, and all branches of the Army have co-operated with exhibits, puuclplnu and material.
