LEASE OF WHARF PROPERTY.
Conditions Regarding Insurance I'm
posed-Proposal Received.

Mr. ]. T. Petty, the District auditor, has
called the attention of the District Commits
sicners to the fact that the third covenant
of the lease with Stephenson and Brothers
who occupy a river front wharf requires
them to insure the buildings to the full
value thereof The auditor says as this
cannot be done under the regula lions gov
erning Insurance the clause should be so
modified as to conform to common usage
The board of assistant assessors has val
ued the buildings at $1,000, and as two re-
Sponsible companies have written policies
thereon to the amount Of 81 800 they
should be accepted, provided, however that
to this extent. in case of loss, they are
made payable to the District of Columbia
with these notifications the auditor rec
ommends the execution of the lease with
Stephenson and Brothers for the wharf thew
occupy.
Forsberg & Murray have applied to the
Commissioners for the privilege Of renting
or leasing the wharf at Sth and Water
streets southwest, which has been used for
landing vessels needing repairs to boilers
Inc company has occupied the property for
ten years. 1t belonged to the estate of the
late John o. Evans. from which estate
ForSDeTg & Murray have been renting the
wharf. but Is at present In litigation 1t
has frontage of 60 feet by a depth Of 30
feet, and Is embraced in the pending Poto-
mac fats case. The city solicitor states
that If the firm desires to take lease from
the Commissioners, ignoring their present
landlord, there Is no reason why the Com
miss1oners should object The board of
assistant assessors has reported that the
board is of the opinion $500 would be fair
annual rental for the wharf.

AN ADVERSE REPORT
COMMISSIONERS OPPOSE BILL
FOR AN INCORPORATION.
Company Desires Charter Authorizing
Manufacture Of Gas for Heat and
Power Purposes.

The District Commissioners today SUBJ
mitted an adverse report to Congress on
House bill 1921 "to incorporate the Column
bia Heat and Power Company of the Dis
trict OF Columbia, and to manufacture gas
for heat and power purposes, to construct
maintain and operate gas-manufacturing
plants, and to lay necessary street mains
and connections for the distribution of gas
for heat and power purposes in and
throughout the District Of Columbia
The object of the bill is to provide heat
and power throughout the District of CO.
lumbia. and has many points in its favor,
in that 1t would help very materially to
solve the question of smoke abatement 1t
would moreover, be an advantage to those
who now use gas for cooking and heating
purposes in that the price for such service
would be reduced. the Commissioners de-
clare.
Disadvantages Alleged.
Continuing they say:
1.-The great disadvantage will be the tear
ing up of practically every street in the
city. and, although this will be done at the
expense of the company, it will cause con-
siderable inconvenience to the public while
the work is in progress.
1.-The only city IN which this system Of
supplying water gas has been introduced,
as stated ny REPRESENTATIVES of the COM
pany is the cftyoof Louisville. KY. There
natural gas a is furnished, and when it
fails the supply lis supplemented by this
water gas. Which il mixed with the natural
gas. TheiauaIitsaof the water gas Is in
ferior to thai of the natural gas.
I'm view, of the Inconvenience which
would be caused, by tearing up the streets
and OF the fact that the project is more or
less of an experimental nature and might
not provea successful here, and that there
has not been.' apparently. any great demand
from the citizens OF the city for the estab-
lishment OF such a-plant. the Commissioners
do not recommend favorable action upon
the bill =" oHrfftf Sf1
Amendments Recommended.
The Commissioners suggest a number Of
amendments in the event the District COM
mittees should decide to make favorable
report In regard to tax on the company
they say:
1.-THE company should also be required to
make an annual report to Congress, the
same as street railroads now do. It is be-
lieved that the tax rate should be more
than ~ per cent. 1t was 2 per cent in the
old bill. AS the franchise would be a val
liable one it is believed that per cent of
its gross earnings would be reasona BILE
ate. Provisions should also be made that
its real estate should be taxed as such.
Section IA provides that the company
shall give bond to guarantee the restora-
ton of the streets. A much more satisfac-
tory way would be to require it to deposit
such sums as the Commissioners may re-
quire from time to time for the purpose
which is in accordance with the usual prac-
tice here in such cases.

in the sundry civil bill, and unless the con-
ferees on that bill were authorized to in
sert these appropriations they would have
to go into the general deficiency bill,
where they did not properly belong.
There was no objection and the resolu-
ton was adopted.
AntiAnarchy Bill.
The House then resumed consideration
of the anti-anarchy BILL Mr.. Patterson
Crenn) offered an amendment to include
the judges of the Supreme Court In the
list of those whose murder while in en-
gagged in the performance of their official
duties should be made punishable by
death. He thought the lives of members of
the Supreme Court should be considered
as sacred as those of cabinet officers or
foreign ambassadors.
Mr.. Ray, chairman of the judiciary COM
mjttee, said his committee had thoroughly
canvassed the question of going beyond
the executive. but had decided that 1t would
be unwise to do SO. The amendment was
lost without division.
Mr.. De Almond of Missouri moved to
strike out the words after Vice President,
describing the cabinet officers entitled by
law to succeed to the presidency.
The amendment was lost, 90 to 81.
Mr. Crumpacker Qnd) offered an
amendment new section providing that
any person who should kill the President
elect Vice President-elect should suffer
death He argued that more danger to the
republic might follow the assassination of
the President-eiect and Vice PreSil ent-eiect
before their inauguration than the assassi-
iation of tn President or Vice President
while in office
Mr. Ray declared that the amendment
was clearly unconstitutional; that the
courts had decided that the President-elect,
until inaugurated. was simply a private
citizen.
The amendment was defeated.
Protection Of Diplomats.
Mr.. Gilbert Ky.) offered an amendment
to the section providing for the protection
of foreign ambassadors or ministers, not
only in the United States, but "any place
subject to the jurisdiction thereof" 1t was
lost.
Mr.. DeArmond (Mo.) moved to strike out
this section. His motion was defeated-59
