Action Taken at the Meeting Of the Senate
Committee Today.
An EndeavOr to Settle the Grade Pro-
blem-Btlls of Local Inter-
est Introduced.

The Senate committee on the District OF
Columbia held its first meeting of the pres
ent session this morning. There were pres
ent Senators Mcmillan, chairman; CALM
ger, Pritchard, Baker, Wetmore, Harris,
Gibson. Martin and Smith.
An informal discussion was had regarding
legislation for the District, and subcommit-
tees were requested to report to the COM
mittee at its next meeting such measures
as are now in their hands. 1t was also de-
cided to request the Commissioners TO make
at an early day report on the bills now
pending in Congress for the purpose of do
ing away with grade crossings, and which
have been referred to the Commissioners.
AS soon as this report is received it is the
purpose of the committee to endeavor to
solve the problem of grade crossings with
in the city. and to dispose of that question
in Congress before the end of the present
session.
The Electric Light Contracts.
An effort will probably be made Monday
to carry the fight over the electric light
contracts in this city into the Senate COM
mittee on the District of Columbia. A
resolution will probably be introduced in
the Senate providing for an investigation
into the manner of letting these contracts
to be made by the District committee. 1t
disposed to favor action at this time in
view of the fact that the matter of electric
light contracts is being considered in the
District courts, and until the question is
settled there 1t will probably be regarded
as unnecessary foe an investigation to be
made by the Senate.
To Relieve Louise Home.
Mr.. Meredith of Virginia has introduced
bill in the House authorizing the District
Commissioners to release the property of
the Louise Home from all special assess
nents levied upon it and now remaining
unpaid. Also to redeem the lien certificates
of Indebtedness against the home and to
issue to the persons found entitled to relief
thereon drawback certificates with interest
redeemable in payment of taxes.
Naval Militia.
Mr.. Robinson of Pennsylvania has intro
duced in the House the bill offered in the
Senate and heretofore printed in The Star
authorizing a battalion of naval militia for
the District of Columbia.
