No bills will be rendered, ‘however, at a less. amount than that which is calculated for the maximum amount at the rate of the preceding block. In making this increase, your Com- missioners have given the matter careful consideration and find that, because of the excessive increase of the cost of labor and all material entering into the mamufacturing of gas, it is impossible to sell the pred- uct at the present price. It is hoped that this increase will be but temporary, for, as soon as sonditions ' warrant, the price will be reduced. .

K. L. Ross" Priscilla Mullens. Hen- drie was fourth, Roamer fifth, Omar Khayyam sixth. The Macomber pair, ‘Walnut Hall and Hank O’Day, trailed the field several lengths away. The result was unlooked for, as it was believed that Omar . Khayyam, valued at $200,000 by his owner a few days ‘ago, with Roamer and Old Koe- niz, would divide the honors and money between them. The stake had a guaranteed value of $5,000. All-Collegians at Ashland Park. Thursday, May 30, on Ashland Park, the Ashland baseball club plays the All-Collegians of New .= York.

The Result of Many Conflicting Dex velopments of the Session. New York, May 27.—Stocks were tossed to and fro today, their con- fusing course keeping pace with the many conflicting and interesting de-. velopments of the session. = The net result left an imposing ar- ray of losses, these ranging from two to ten points among industrials, equipments, shippings and specialties and one to three points among rails. Transportation stocks were clearly disposed to strengthen at the open- ing, in consequence of the increased freight and passenger rates ordered by Director Géneral McAdoo, but made only slight progress when it be- came known that President Wilson wou'd submit his_views on revenue legislation to congress. An additiona] deterrent was offered by the war bulletins which convey- ed the impression of a resumption of the German drive in force along an important sector held by Freach and British troops. : At no period until the fina® hour, when the full text of the president's message was available, did the market manifest more than moderate irregu- larity or the selling attain unusual proportions.

The greatest problem which any District official has had to face has been the problem of handling the in- creased amount of traffic, With at least 100 percent. more automobiles and trucks on the streets, it has been up to Major Raymond Pullman, super- intendent of metropolitan police, to make traffic conditions as safe as they were in “ante bellum” days.

Small censure, however, can be laid on these road- constructing units for our lack of connecting highways, for no machinery has been provided to enable them tc co-operate with each other efficiently. “There are thousands of interned enemy aliens and federal prisoners now idly wasting their time as warde of the government, or devoting it to pastimes or ineffective labor, selected by their individual preferment, wha might in this crisis, be assisting in speeding up America’s transportation and war-time efficiency.” The Liberty motor has won the con- fidence of one of its most severe crit- jes. The man who has put his stamp of approval on this much discussed engine is E. Le Roy Pelletier, of De- troit, widely known as an advertising man, but also an expert engineer. He built one of the first air cooled auto- mobiles and for three years was con- sulting engineer for Henry Ford. Mr. Pelletier announced his conversion at the Hotel Knickerbocker last week after arriving from Dayton, Ohio, where he made a flight of more than an hour in an army airplane equipped with a Liberty motor. “Pll admit that I was pretty free with my criticism before I went +to Dayton,” said Mr. Pelletier, “but now 1 am not only convinced that the Lib- erty motor will do, but I firmly believe it will climb higher and move faster than any foreign machine in the world. Its designers are to be congratulated on the wonderful results they have ob- tained. The Liberty plane is the best all around machine the world has pro- duced. American aviation experts are sure that with the -latest type car- buretor the Liberty will be able to reach an altitude of 33,000 feet. “During my trip we attained an al- titude of 15,000 feet and reached a speed of 130 miles an hour. Other tests have been made in which the Liberty climbed 21,300 feet in fifty minutes against the former Ameri- can recorq of 15,000 feet in three hours. It also has climbed 10,000 feet in seven minutes twelve seconds.
