TELEPHONE RATES HIT BY PROTESTORS Citizens’ Federation Moves to Block $7,000,000 of New Stock. William McK. Clayton, representing the Federation of Citizens’ Associations, today filed with the Public Utllitics Commissien a formal objaction in writ- ing to the Chesapeake & Potomac Tele- phone Co. request for permission to issues $7,000,000 additional common stock. ‘The position taken by Mr. Clayton in his objection, however, does not confine itself to the issue of the stock, but is, by implication an attack upon the rates charged by the company for telephone service. It is regarded as the forerun- ner of a fight on telephone rates some- what similar to the one being waged on electric rates. Claims Order Expired. Telephone rates, Mr. Clayton pointed out, are now not fixed by anything. ‘There is no valuation of t telephong company in existence, he and thi rates now charged were ed in a compromise order which by its own pro- visions expired more than two years ago and has newer been revived. The rates ever since have been charged by the company without interference from the commission. The history of this situation, as out- lined in the Clayton objection, is briefly as follows: In 1924 the federation com- | plained that the tolls and charges for | telephone service were unreasonably | high. and on this complaint the com- mission made & valuation of the com- as a result of which it ordered s reduced. The company went | pany | the ral | ation of her contribution to the suc- to court and secured an injunction re- straining the commission from putt its order into effect, but afterward a compromise was reached among the parties, including the then People's Counsel, Ralph B. Fleharty. According to the terms of the eom- promise, the court discontinued its in- junction against the commission, the commission “set aside rescinded, and held for naught” the valuation that had been made, and put a compromise rate into effect for two years begin< ning June 1, 1927. This order, accord- ingly, expired June 1, 1929, but the rates fixed under the order have been alloved to remain undisturbed. Put in the plcturesque language of Mr. Clayton, “but ay, and for the last two years, company’s ‘rates’ ’and ‘valu- ation,” the futurity twins bequeathed by judicial decree, have enjoyed an unbroken sleep in the cradle of the commission.” Further supporting his objection to the issuance by the company of $7,000,- 000 additional common stock, Mr. Clay- ton points out that there are no bonds in the company's capital structure and suggests that $7,000,000 of bonds, in- stead of additional stock, be issued if the company needs capital. The com- pany's capitalization is now $13,000,000 in common stock, all held by the American Telephone & Telegraph Co. ‘The mm%lny‘il charter, as amended, gives it the right to issue $25,000,000 worth of stock, Last September, with- out seeking the permission of the com- mission, the company issued $2,000,000 in common stock to the A. T. & T., but on objection raised by the commission that such proceéding was illegal, it canceled the issue, ROSA PONSELLE HONORED LONDON, June 19 (#)—In apprecl- cess of the present Covent Garden season, Rosa Ponselle, American prima donna, was invited today to attend the ultra-exclusive royal inclosure at Ascot | for the closing days of the racing meet. | The honor has seldom before been extended to a professional artist, and is | believed unprecedented for an.

TH! closing recital of the Washing- ton Children’s Music Studlo, uzder the direction of Camille Allensworth, was held last Monday evening at the ‘Woman'’s City Club. A large group of parents and friends were present. The first part of the prcgram was| given over to a demonstration of the theoretical work done in the classes (Fletcher music method). The chil- dren played their pleces in any key | h called for by the audience. Next on the program were solos played by the younger children, Lorraine Benton, Ten- ley Jones, Susanne C. Jones, Nancy Seal, Mary A. Bler, Nellle Donohoe, Mary K, Willfs and Ruth A. Buttler. In the last part of the program two original compositions were played by | Ruth Eleanor Fond}& and Ethel Mal George, A certificate of graduation in the course was awarded to Miss George (11 years old) who had completed the course. She gave a group of four num- bers on the program and showed mark- ed skill and musical ability. ‘The last number was a group of four pleces rendered by Lesleymai Vipond, aged 14 years. She played an entire Beethoven Sonata (Opus 2, No. 1) with the skill and understanding which would have done credit to a finished artist. She also played a Bach pre- lude and Fugue and two Chopin num- bers. Other children playing solos in- cluded Eleanor Lee, Mary B. Stark, Mary F. George, Dorothy Jones, Jeane McCandlish, Ruth E. Bondy, Margaret Bler, Peggy Smaltz, Douglas Stuart, Louise Veerhoff and Dorothy Dewhirst. C. A WASHINGTON COLLEGE RECITAL.

Louise Wisdom Dudley’s singing of the Beethoven “Song of ;’eniun‘;e"' in- dicated a flair for oratorio literature, and the Salter “Pine Tree” was suitably sung.
