Lighting Up a Lake.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 26.-Among the
novelties Of the electrical illumination
scheme designed for the Lewis and
Clark Exposition is the submarine
lighting of Guilds lake. This lake Is
the largest body of water ever en-
closed in an exposition grounds, being
over 200 acres in extent, and the ar
rangements being carried out will
transform the lake into blaze OF
glory.
The lights will be fifty-candle power
and enclosed In air a1d water-tight re-
ceptables. Spectators will be able to
see all kinds of fish swimming about
in the shallow water. This submarine
Illumination will also give the effect
of dancing flames of fire at distance
in the night.
Completing the vista of Columbia
court on the island In the lake will be
the grani court and gardens In front
of the government building sumounted
with the 300-foot towers, which, with
their outlines trimmed with thousands
Of lights can be seen as far as the Cas-
cade range of mountains, seventy-flve
miles distant.
In conjunction with these plans, the
Mazamas, mountain climbing club OF
this city. are arranging for the illumi-
nation of Mount Hood, the highest
peak in Oregon, by signal fires, at in
tervals during June and July. The
mountain is easily discernible from ev-
cry vantage point on the grounds.
In the center of the lake an immense
geyser will play, intermingled with
varied lights and Columbia river fish
wheel will be in operation.

,nauoural Ball Contention.

An objection OF Mr.. Mann OF Illinois
to unanimous consent to take up the
inaugural resolution in the House OF
Representatives sent the whole mat
ter over until after the holidays. Mr.
Morrell of Pennsylvania, on behalf OF
the committee on the District OF Co
lumbia, was directed to move the pass
age Of the Senate resolution which.
among other things, provides for hold
ing the inaugural ball in the pension
building, as heretofore.
Mr.. Underwood opposed considera-
ton Of the resolution at this time
when, he said. q quorum OF the House
was not present. and called attention
to the promise made four years ago
that the people of Washington would
construct a place for holding inaug-
ural balls.
Asked by Mr.. Mann (Illinois) why
the committee had switched" first
from the congressional library, then
to the capitol and now to the pension
building, Mr.. Morrell said 1t was be-
cause of the evident disposition Of the
House to hold the inaugural ball in
the pension building.
The resolution was criticised by
Mr. Mann because he said 1t permitted
the charging Of excessive prices 70,
cabs and, carriages, and he thought
there should be quorum present TO
consider the other features Of the bill,
He objected to motion for unant.

VICTIM IDENTIFIED.
Sister In California Believes Mrs. eou-
ton Was Murdered.

Denver, Dec. 27.-The News this
morning says: Bessie Bouton, believed
to be the young woman who was found
on Cutler mountain with bullet in
her brain and her face burned beyond
recognition. was, with her alleged
paramour, Milton Franklin, guest at
the Albany hotel from May End to
July 18th. This was established by the
hotel register last evening.
The couple registered as G. Bouton
and wife, but 1t Is believed Franklin
took the name Of the woman. who had
been married to Bouton in Syracuse
and separated from him four years
ago. The man at the Albany was a
gambler. Special dispatches to the
News from Syracuse, New York, and
Santa Barbara, California, give many
additional facts, all of which seem to
corroborate the belief that Bessie Bou-
ton was the victim.
Mrs. Charles Nelson Of Santa Bar
bara, where Bessie Bouton and Frank
lin visited, says she received a letter
six weeks ago from her sister, saying
she had quarreled with Franklin, and
the next heard of Bessie Bouton was
when she read descriptions OF the
Cutler mountain victim.
w. ]. Bodno, whose wife's elopment
was told In special dispatches to the
News from Butte recently, Is on his
way to Colorado Springs to see II the
remains are those Of his wife. 1t is
thought he is mistaken.

LATEST WASHINGTON NEWS AND
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS
To Regulate Corporations.

The first annual report OF the com
missioner OF corporations has been
submitted to Congress by Commits
sioner Garfield. He says no satisfac-
tory reform is to be expected under the
state system OF Incorporation; that the
federal government has at It's COM
mand sufficient power to remedy exist
ing conditions in its control Of inter-
state commerce.
He therefore suggests that Congress
consider the Advisability OF enacting
law for the legislative regulation of in
serstate and foreign commerce under
license or franchise which in general
should provide as follows:
THE granting OF federal franchise
or license to engage In interstate COM
merce.
"The imposition Of all necessary re-
quirements as to corporate organiza-
tion and management as condition
precedent to the grant of such fran
chise or license.
1.-The prohibition Of all corporations
and corporate agencies from engaging
In Interstate and foreign commerce
without such federal franchise or IL
cense.
"The full protection OF the grantees
Of such franchise or license who obey
the laws applicable thereto.
1.-The right to refuse or withdraw
such franchise or license in case OF VI
olation of law, with appropriate right
OF judicial appeal to prevent hbuse OF
power by the administrative omcers.
Commissioner Garfield says the bu-
reau, under the direction OF the secre-
tary of commerce and labor. Affords
the appropriate machinery for the adj
ministration Of such a law.

w.,binoton,. Smoke Nul..nee.

Drastic action has been recon-
mended by the President looking 70 tne
suppression Of the smoke nuisance IN
this city. A letter was sent by MS dl-
rection to the district commissioners
November both inquiring If 1t were not
possible to proceed criminally against
the officers of an electric light COM
pany.
He denounced the violation OF the
smoke law by the company at the very
doors of the White House as an out
rage and urged that the managers OF
the company be arrested again anu
again, at short intervals, In an enor'
to abate the nuisance.
No response having been received
that was satisfactory, the President au-
thorized to-day the publication OF the
letter to the district commissioners. IL
follows:
"The President has again taken up
with his Cabinet the smoke nuisance,
so far as the public buildings are con-
cerned. He would like especially to
call your attention, however, to the
well-nigh intolerable manifestation OF
the nuisance by the electric light com.
pany. Is 1t not possible to proceed
criminally against the managers OF
this company? II not, drastic leglsla-
tion should be recommended.
"It is an outrage on the city that
such nuisance should be permitted
to exist right by the White House. AT
almost every hour Of the day this
great chimney can be seen emitting
dense clouds of black smoke. 1t would
seem to be wise to go to the very limit
of the law and to arrest the head OF
the company, or those highest up In
the company, again and again at the
shortest possible intervals, in order to
put stop to this nuisance, for the
conduct on their part amounts to
fragrant defiance of the law and OF re-
spect for public opinion. and is fraught
with serious consequences to the city
of Washington"

DENVER ELECTION COMPLICATIONS

For example, let us suppose that the
unfair, jealous and unscrupulous parti-
san and at the recent election he had
returned $4,000 plurality for every Re-
publican on the ticket from the presi-
Dental electors down. Would Senator
Ward then contend that the canvassing
board had no right to go behind the re-
turns? Such return from Boulder
county would be absurd, because 1t
would be known that no such majority
could be had, but nevertheless the can
vassing board, according to the Demo-
cratic contention. must accept this
fraud and issue election certificates &C.
cordingly and the Legislature must do
the same thing. 1t Is also known now
beyond any question of doubt that the
grossest frauds were committed in
Denver and that the Democratic ma
jorities certified to by the county Off
cials Is spurious and fraudulent OF
course contest can be started In the
courts but Unreasonable harm and in
Justice could result by the acceptance
OF such fraudulent returns by the high
canvassing authorities.
In the present instance the accept
ance by the board of the Denver re-
turns means the seating Of Demo-
cratic Senate. while it Is we'll known
by the canvassing board that Repub-
lIcan Senate had been elected.
The acceptance of the returns on
governor by the Legislature means the
seating of a man who was given just
as spurious plurality by the elections
commission of Denver on their returns
as would be the $4,000 imaginary plu-
rality from Boulder county.
If these authorities have no right to
go behind the returns. 1t means that
any corrupt political leader could
evolve conspiracy that would defeat
the will of the people at every cleo
