kinson, Post, Heard and Compton.
IMPORTANT BILLS BEFORE THE JUDICIARY SUB
COMMITTEE.
There are about forty bills W hich are before
the committee and which have been divided
among the various subcommittee. The
judiciary has large number of the bills OF
especial interest to the citizens of the
District. This committee will consider among
Others the charter of the American security
and trust company, Mr.. Morrow's bill to en-
courage cooperation in the District, the bill
for the protection Of hotel keepers, the bill to
punish drunkenness, the bill to regulate
Insurance in the District, the bill

ton to the rest Of the District, the bill to ex-
tend the streets and avenues and the bill to
revise and consolidate the municipal laws.
IMPORTANT MEASURES BEFORE DISTRICT SUB
COMMITTEES.
The subcommittee on ways and means is
also an important one, as before it will come
MIR. Compton's bill for bridge over the
Eastern branch at the foot of South Capitol
street and MIR. Springer's bill for the extension
OF the mall and for an avenue through from
the Capitol to the monument.
The subcommittee on education labor &c,

portant bills, as the bill to provide for the ap-
preparation and valuation of land for school
purposes and the bill providing for the kins
theological building.
STREETS AND RAILROADS.
The subcommittee on streets and steam rail
roads is last but far from least, as all of the
railroad bills rest with them. Already they
have before them the charter Of the George
town and Tenleytown road the Washington
and Great Falls. the Suburban road and the
amendment to the charter Of the lexington
and Soldiers Home road.
1t is not known yet what bills the different
subcommittee will tackle first. The judiciary

THE ALL-PERVADING GRIP.
No Indications of Relaxation Of Its
Severity.

The number of cases OF influenza reported
today shows no decrease Of the prevailing cpl
demic. One physician speaking to a STAR re-
porter said he had about 800 patients on
his books; that where he had one
or two cases in house last week he had
from three to six or seven this week. The
result is that so much more time has to be
spent in one house that it is impossible to
visit SO many.
A few good days like today, said the doctor,
will no doubt greatly decrease the number Of
cases.
There was nothing new at the health office
today concerning the disease. There was the
usual large number Of deaths reported yester-
day and today.
Col Perry Carson who has been confined to
his home for some weeks with pneumonia is re-
ported much better today.
Col. Chas Loetfier, the well-known GENTLE
man who guards the outer door of the Presi-
dents sanctum, and who, by the way has made
hosts of friends during his years of service at
that post, has recovered from an attack OF the
grip which forced him to remain at home q
couple of days.
The sick list of the police is decreasing. This
morning it included dfty-nine Names among
them that of Major Moore.
Mr.. George L. Sheriff is one Of the victims
of the grip.
Pay Director Thornton, who has been i'll with
the Influenza, is much improved today.
