Effort to Consolidate Street Rail-
ways and Power Plants.
Seattle, Wash, Feb. 16.-An application
of a number of Seattle's prominent men
to the City Council that a new fifty-year
franchise be made out to them to include
all the street railways of the city in place
of the present franchises held by the va
rious lines separately, apparently means
one of the biggest deals that has ever TAX
en- place in the Northwest.
1t is known that the six petitioners for
the new, arrangement are either directly
representing a syndicate of Eastern men,
or are working with the understanding
that as soon as the franchise is secured
it shall be turned over to them. This is
understood to be the last move in getting
control by one firm of all the Tacoma and
Seattle street car systems, and the Seattle
Power Company, a combination that
would handle, or, at least, control all the
electric lighting and power in the vicinity
of Puget sound.
1t is believed that the General Electric
Company is behind the new enterprise

fees and Letter Boxes.
Washington, Feb. 16.-The report OF the
commission on the codihcation of the
United States criminal and penal laws, is
about completed, and the portion of it COW
ering offenses against the postal laws has
been submitted, as a special report to Con
gress.e
The Postmaster General has communi-
Gated with both houses of Congress ask
lng for immediate enactment of the entire
report on this subject, pointing out it's urg-
ent needs.
Inc commission pays a special tribute to
Acting Assistant Attorney General Bar
rett, for the postoffice department. for the
benefit of his advice during its labors The
laws revised embrace all up to and includ-
ing the 4rstl session of the Fifty-ffth Con
sress. The report in brief follows:
In numerous instances, where penalties
nave been recovered by civil process in
tne nature of actions for debt, provisions
Tor criminal prosecutions have been suh-
sututed as more efficacious. Other changes
are reported, having in view a more pro-
portonate adjustment of penalties TO the
gravity of the offenses respectively de-
hned, m which the present laws having
been ADOPTED from time to time are faulty.
Occasional ennendations have been made in
the wording of the present laws designed
TO secure precision and succincness in the
definition of offenses. A provision has been
inserted inhibiting the maintenance of
private postoffices and letter boxes.
This is in conformity" the commission
says, siwtgh the general policy of this gov
ernment, and it is further recommended
by consideration of great weight it being
found that in the larger cities these insti-
tutions are made the instrumentalities of
practices partaking of fraud and immor-
atty. In recent instance at New York
they were employed as the means by
which two human lives were sacrificed
under circumstances of grave criminality."
