VIRGINIA PRIMARIES
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WANT
THEM HELD EARLY.
Fear They May Get Mixed Up in
Middle Over Consti-
tuition.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, April 1.-THE new
state primary election law will govern
nominations for congressman this fall All
the present members will offer themselves
for reelection, and in some cases there
Will be serious opposition. Sixty days
notice will have to be given to the voters
after the candidates shall announce them
selves before the primary is held to make
the nominations. An effort will be made
in some quarters to have the primaries
pulled off at as early date as possible.
The reason assigned is that it is desir-
able to get the matter out of the way of
the new constitution, should it eventually
be submitted to the people for ratification
and to escape the wrath that is to come
Wien 1t is procla lined. A close supporter
OF representative who was in the city
few days ago in discussing the matter
said:
There are good reasons for wanting the
matter of the primaries decided before
August The voters a rule will have
more leisure during July than they can
have In August. and it IS greatly to be de-
sired that the nominations for Congress
shall be made before the people become
agitated over the question of a new con-
stitution. If 1t is proclaimed, as I fear
1t VIII be, there are some voters who will
mold on and refrain from voting because
they will feel that an advantage will have
been taken of them, the promise having
been made that the work Of the conven-
ton was to be submitted for ratification or
rejection, and when they make up their
minds to this end they will stay away from
the polls and allow the opposition to the
present representatives full play, the re-
suit being that We will lose certainly two,
and possibly three, members in the dele
cation from this state.
Then, again, suppose the nominees for
Congress are forced to get into the fight
over the new consttution-that is, defend
the convention for proclaiming it-where
ton has kept it's word and submitted it to
the people? Then if it should be submitted
to the people, can the members of Congress
who have rural constituencies indorse the
action of the convention regards the
abolition of county courts, which has al
ways been source of pleasure to them?
Let the candidates for Congress try it.
''By all means let the district chairmen
call the committees which to fix the
dates for the entries in the primary, fix a
date for the primaries and give the people
an opportunity to get the congressional
fight out of the way
1t is not expected that the congressman
will openly advocate the selection of an
early date. but it Is known that they desire
the committees to act as soon as possible
and to have the contest over with, for they
apprehend trouble if their nomination is to
become involved in the uncertainty of the
vote on the disposition of the new constitu-
ton. The congressman generally favor
submission to the people, but sentiment is
being crystalliZed in favor of proclamation,
and the congressman want to get away
from that storm among the people

merging Gas Companies.
The District Commissioners have forward
ed to Chairman Babcock of the House Dis
trict committee a supplemental report on
House bill 11173, authorizing the Wash
ington Gas Light Company to purchase the
Georgetown Gas Light Company, and for
other purposes" The Commissioners say

order that they may supply an unintention-
al omission in their previous report, and to
which their attention has just been called.
The additional recommendation which the
Commissioners wish to make is that the
proposed issue of stock provided for in

the supervision of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia in the method provid-
ed by section Of the act of June 6, 1885,
entitled An act relating to the sale of gas
in the District of Columbia" The section
referred to by the Commissioners in the

THAT neither the Washington Gas Light
Company nor the Georgetown Gas Light
Company shall hereafter issue any greater
number Of shares of stock than shall be
equal to the cash value Of said plants and
necessary cost Of the construction of future
extensions or future engagements of
plants, which cash value and cost of ex-
tensions shall be ascertained and author
lied upon petition therefor to the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia, under
such regulations as the chief justice
and the justices thereof shall prescribe;
also If either Of the said corporations
shall desire hereafter to issue bonds upon
their property. secured by mortgage or
otherwise. upon petition thereof to the said
court, setting forth the necessity thereof
and the amount of stock issued and out
standing, it may and shall be lawful for
said court, or the chief justice and justices
thereof as the case may be- or one Of
them upon pubic notice, to be prescribed
by the rules of said court, to permit the
Issuance of such bonds and mortgage as
desired: Provided. that the amount of
stock and bonds issued shall not exceed the
actual cash value Of said plants and the
cost of such extensions or enlargement of
Pants. And, provided, further, that the
Washington Gas Light Company is hereby
authorized to issue such additional amount
version into such stock of it's outstanding
certificates Of Indebtedness, which CONVEX
sion of said certificates Is hereby author
lied to an amount not exceeding 5000 Co.,"

HOUSE DISTRICT COMMITTEE.
To Postpone Payment of Taxes-Smoke
Law Considered.

Dense black or gray smoke" was the
subject to which the House committee on
the District of Columbia devoted the major
portion of its session this morning. Pre-
ceding this, however, the committee heard
Assessor Darneille and ordered a favorable
report unanimously on House joint resolu-
ton No. 17S, ''postponing the payment of
taxes on real estate In the District of CO.
lumbia for the fiscal year 1903 from No
vember, 1902. to May, 1903"
On the smoke question House bill 1lS4y
was under consideration. This bill pro-
poses to amend the present smoke law by
making it possible to meet it's requirement
by equipping plants with a device to be APP
proved by the Commissioners.
Attorney Duvall was first heard MIR
Mercer of the committee suggested that the
smoke prosecutions seemed to be taking the
form of prosecutions.
Mr.. DuVall said he could only say that
the act of 1899 on the subject was designed
TO prevent pr even the ISSUANCE Of smoke of the
the cases OF persons who have violated that
law, as that is the only way to enforce it.
But | know Of no prosecutions" was Mr..
OuVaIs answer III Congress does not
want those regulations enforced it should
change Them
Dr. Woodward followed Mr.. Duvall
against the proposed amendment He said
ne peHeveu lneIe was no reason why the
present law could not be enforced In an
swer to direct question. DR.. Woodward
stated that he did not believe the electric
light and traction companies had honestly
tried to comply with the law.
Gen. Harrfes, who followed, detailed what
the companies he represented had done
He said that over $4,000 had been spent
to equip the various plants. and it was be-
lieved that it would soon be possible to
meet the demands of the law.
A session of ho foo
was then held and the subcommittee di-
rected to confer with the Commissioners, to
the end that the prosecutions of vioiators
Of the smoke law should not be proceeded
against pending efforts of such vioators to
equip their plants with understanding
devices.

neys ]. c. Cuttings and Lambert &. Baker,
while Attorneys John Ridout and Mackell
