ELECTRIC LIGHT CONDUITS
Senate Hearing That Was to Be Held To
day Postponed.
Neither Mr.. Norris Nor Mr.. Lambert
Were Prepared to Present
Their Case.

A hearing was to be held at ii O'Clock
this morning by the subcommittee on tho
District of Columbia on the bill for the ex-
tension of electric lighting conduits within
the fire limits of the District.
Mr.. James L. Norris, president of the
United States Electric Lighting Company,
and Mr.. o. T. Crosby, president of the Po-
tomac Electric Lighting Company. were
present.
Mr.. Norris was called upon by Senator
Mcmillan, chairman of the subcommittee
to state his views upon the pending bill.
Mr.. Norris explained that he had only
lately been elected president of the COM
pany, and that Mr.. T. A. Lambert who ac-
companied him, had also only lately as
soclated with counsel for the company,
while Judge Wilson, who was thoroughly
familiar with the matter, was out of the
city and would not be back until next Fri
day.
Mr.. Norris also said the bill under con-
sideration was intimately connected with
the general conduit bill
Il regret to say Mr.. Norris said. that
we are not now in position to proceed in
the absence of Judge Wilson. This is an
important measure and involves possible
radical changes in the entire methods of
congress IN reference to the electric light
ing conduits. We would not like to say
anything today on the merits or demerits
OF this bill. but would ask a postponement
until Judge Wilson returns. We have
reached no conclusion in reference to this
matter, but will endeavor to do so when
Judge Wilson returns"
Mr. Norris said perhaps the movers of
the bill would have something to saw
Senator McMil'an-.What do you mean
by that?''
Mr.. Norris said he meant the trainers of
the bill.

in this room by members Of the committee.
This bill was gotten up here for the pur-
pose of giving the people of this District
more light when they want it The COM
panies have been troubled by not being able
to lay down conduits. The bill was intro
duced to correct this trouble, and is not in
anybodys interest, except as [ have stated
In fact, have never consulted any one
about it"
Mr.. Mcmillan said that under the circum-
stances he would postpone the hearing un-
til next Monday morning at 1890 o clock.
Mr.. Lambert said he would promise to
make himself familiar with all the extern
Slve details of The question under consid-
Grafton. so that if his colleague could not
be present at that time he would be ready
to proceed.

EDWIN SMITH GETS The Ak
RIGHT WHERE THE CHICKEN
WAS HIT.
He Declares That Jim Budd Put
Up the Job Against
Him.

Edwin F. Smith will soon be out of
the State Board Of Agriculture as Sec
rotary, this result having been brought
about at special meeting of the
board held yesterday on q call sent out
by President A. B. Spreckels.
Some weeks ago a San Francisco pa
per limited that on Governor Budd 3
retirement from office his Private Sec
rotary, Peter j. Shields. would be made
Secretary of the Board of Agriculture,
but the report received no credence
here because Mr. Shields himself stated
about that time that on his retirement
from the Governors office he would
enter on the practice Of law in partner
ship with Hiram w. Johnson.
But the change has been made, and
Mr.. Smith, who has been the wheel
horse of the board for many years and
a most efficient and Woodworking off,
cial, will shortly retire to private life.
When the board had been called to
order yesterday a motion was made to
declare the office of Secretary vacant.
1t was thought that five members of
the board stood committed to such ac-
ton, but Secretary Smith was almost
dumbfounded when the roll was called
and seven Of the twelve Directors voted
aye. The vote was as follows:
Ayes Mackey, Wilson, Mathews,
Henshaw, Barrett, Covey and Spreck-
els.
Noes-Cobb. Fox. Chase, Boggs and
Cox-5.
The board then elected Peter J.
Shields as Secretary, to take office in
April.
1.-THE result was certainly a surprise
to me-" said Mr. Smith last evening.
Il knew that, under Governor Budd's
orders, there was a strong combination
formed to down me, but it would have
failed had John Maclkey, one of the
Directors who had pledged himself to
stand up against the Budd job, kept
his word
This whole thing is the work of Jim
Budd, and is only the opening wedge in
his determination to disintegrate the
State Agricultural Society and eventu-
ally break it up. He has been working
to that end right along.
1T isn't necessary for me to call at
tention-so far as the people of this
city are concerned-to what I have
done in behalf of the Board of Agrf-
culture in the past when its enemies
had it we'll nigh throttled on several
occasions. Now let those Directors who
don't want my assistance get in and
secure the appropriations they will
need to carry on the State Fairs.
II have nothing to say against my
successor, Mr.. Shields. wish him joy
in the job he has undertaken, but it re-
mains to be seen who will now put
their shoulders to the wheel and do
the work have done toward the sue
cess of the society. and in the inter-

A compromise was struck by the sug-

twenty eight illegal votes, whereas
about sixty would be required to do real
