RENTED GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS.
The Subjec, Now Being Investigated
by House Committee.

An investigation Of the policy Of renting
buildings for government use has been
started by the House committee on public
buildings and grounds.
Representative Coombs of Brooklyn in
troduced resolution last fall, which vas
called forth by the Ford's TEeater disaster,
and which provides for complete investi-
cation of the subject. How many buildings
are rented, what rates, the number of
clerks employed in them, the rents paid
and the condition of the buildings are some
OF the points to be looked into.

The executive committee Of the National

at the Ebbitt House yesterday. concluded
its deliberations and adjourned last night
Nearly all the party men who attended the

that the reports which were received from
the state organizations plainly showed
that the democracy believed that the Presi-
dent was proceeding too slowly in the mat

in the dispensation of patronage was also
a reason for dissatisfa ction. Discomfort
was manifest in some sections that the
President had not chosen strong ard promi-
Lent democratic partisans for position. 1t

several appointments made by the Presi-
dent quite severely. Every report urged

Naval authorities In Congress do not con-

Election on the naval policy of the govern
ment in keeping old ships In commission
Representative Amos Cummings Of New
York, chairman OF the House committee on
naval affairs. says: Both the Kearsarge
and Hartford were kept in service as a mat
ter of sentiment. The public would not lis
ten to their being condemned and broken up.
They were kept on duty just as Great Bri-
tain keeps the old ship Victor Of Nelson. At
the present time the naval committee has
an estimate aggregating $40O. 900 for improv-
ing and undermining the old Hartford. OF
this $4,000 is for new batteries. $4,000
more for new machinery and 5000 for re-
pairs to the hull. 1t would practically
amount to making the old ship over again.
and there would be no justification for such
patchwork IL IL were not for the popular
sentiment for preserving Farragut's old flag
ship"
Mr.. Cummings pointed out how tenderly
the general law making appropriations for
the new navy dealt with the Kearsarge and
Hartford. The law specifies that no repairs
shall be made to wooden vessels IL the re-
pairs exceed 10 per cent Of the cost of a
new ship Of the same size. but there is this
proviso: That nothing herein contained
shall deprive the Secretary Of the Navy of
the authority to cause the necessary repairs
and preservation Of the United States ships
Hartford and Kearsarge"
The same exception is made by law as to
the machinery Of the Kearsarge and Hsrt-
ford. They are, therefore. the only vessels
In the navy which can be repaired and fur
nished with new machinery without yefer-
ence to their age or condition. They are the

FAVORS ONE DOLLAR GAS
Representative Cooper Intends to Push His
Lower Rate Bill
There II Said TO Be Considerable In
terest in the Gas Question
in the House.

Mr.. Cooper Of Indiana, a member Of the
House District committee. said today that
he intends to push his bill providing for 81
gas in the District. Mr.. Cooper has taken
considerable interest in the gas hearings
which have been held by the District COM
mittee. and was very glad to hear the tes-
timony given at the hearings by q former
superintendent Of the gas company that
this company can sell gas at 81 per thou
sand and still make good profit.
Mr.. Cooper has had experience with the
gas question in Indiana, and has given the
subject of the production and cost OF gas
some study. He is convinced, he says, that
gas Of a good quality can be furnished the
citizens OF Washington at 81. and the COM
pany still make fair profit.
Il don't believe in jumping onto gas COM
panies simply because they are corpora
tions." said Mr.. Cooper. but in the matter
OF water, light and fuel the prime necessi-
ties of the people. think that the lowest
possible prices should obtain"

tard the flow OF gas. and thus check the

Mr.. Cooper Is not certain whether 1t will
be in order to attempt to offer his bill as
minority report to the report Of the Dis
trict committee upon the gas hearing or
not, but II 1t does not come up In that way
he will insist upon its being reported to the

ton.

companies In behalf Of moderate treatment

the home companies stating the difficulties
surrounding the manufacture of gas and
1nttmating that the margin Of profit In its
manufacture would not permit q very se-
rious cut in the price. There are evidences
OF considerable interest being taken In the
gas question by members of the House gen.
orally, and the report Of Mr.. Heard's COM
mittee OF Investigation and the recommen-
dations which will be made are awaited
with interest. The subject is likely to re-
ceive thorough discussion upon the floor Of
the House. 1t is thought.
