GAS CASE ARGUED,
PERRY CONSTITUTES
CONGRESS- INTENT
Counsel for Georgetown
Company UpholdS Pro-
posed Increase to
Capital.

Final arguments before Auditor Payne
ia the hearing OF the Georgetown Gas
Light Company's petition to increase its
capital stock were begun this morning
in the auditors room adjoining Equity
Court No. .
R. Ross Perry Of counsel for the
company argued Tor the petitioner.
Although he commenced at 10 he had
not finished by 1890 and a recess was
taken until ] o'clock. Mr. Perry con-
tended that the motive OF Congress in
passing tine act OF 1896. under which was
made the present application, was TO
relieve itself from the necessity of con-
siderng repeated applications from pub
lice utility corporations in the Dis
.trlct OF Columbia for authority 70 in
crease their capital stock.
The intention OF Congress in passing
the act. he averred. was TO equalize the
capital and capital stock of corporations
SO that corporations should-not stand
before the community In a false light.
Gives History of Legislation.
In regard TO the objection that Con-
gress passed the act only TO enable the
gaslght companies TO provide for ex-
tensions or engagements. Mr.. Perry ar
gued Congress would have worded the
act SO as to enable the companies only
to issue additional capital 20 cover bet
terments. AIr. Perry went through the
legislative history of the act in his at
tempt to prove his Interpretation Of II.
During the course OF this part OF the
argument Mr.. Perry quoted Congress
man ". j. Hepburn $ remarks in the
House in the debate on the section pro-
viding for increase of stock for the
Washington Gas Light Company.
Mr. Hepburn had protested vigorously
against this measure. and IL was Mr.
Pcrry's idea that the Congressman WAS
not altOethcr familiar with what b.
was talking about
D What Does "PIant" Mean?
4 The meaning of the word plant as
ontained in The act of 1896, formed the
lbiect Of a lengthy discussion in which
contended that the meaning OF Con-
IS was that all the property Of the
npany was % be considered. The
greSsiOHal debate en- the act Of 1896
again cited In support Of the con-
ON that the word plant was used

tea. and that the original cost does
enter into the question The "un-
fd increment" ne set down as =

rmal mind would contend that the
nal cost Of a property should be

Pcrry's next argument was ,tror
right of the company to issue the
osed new stock. He cited many
oriues on this point.

The Artist.

The terrace was a charming feature
of Broomhaugh. 1t was formed by
an old wall built up sheer from the
sloping bank of the Broomwater, and
was paved by huge slabs of rough
stone, now worn smooth by the tread
of many feet. The house itself was
low and gray, being built of the same
stone. Grim and sturdy, it harmon
lied with the bare hills around and
above it. Signs there were still of
the old Notifications, notably the
wall forming the terrace, which had
rendered Broomhaugh practically i'm
pregnable from the riverside in the
olden times. Below it, amid the
whispering leaves of silver birch and
mountain-ash, ran the little rivera
trout stream, such as one finds only
within the shadow of the Cheviot-
and on this fair morning it's gentle
ripple scarcely reached the ears of
those, upon the terrace, for rain was
sadly wanted. A downpour of two
hours would convert the clear brown
water into yellow torrent rushing
down to the sea, as if ashamed of its
own impurity. Then would the air
at Broomhaugh grow heavy with a
dull roar rising from the tree-clad
valley beneath, and old Lee, the gar
dener, would peer down through the
branches and mutter: "Eh, but she's
big watteri" AS the waters grad
ually subsidized, the old fellow was
wont to hobble away to his little cot
tage, and there with trembling,
clumsy fingers. would adjust his rod
and laboriously disentangle his cast,
in readiness for Mrs. Mistley's sug-
gestion that he should go down to
the burn and catch a basket of fish
for breakfast,
AS Lena and VINEYARD paced slow
ly backward and forward on the ter
race awaiting the colonel. the>ripple
of the stream awakened within the
fellows heart fisherman's longing
for the sight of running water.
Presently Lena stopped at the cor
ner of the terrace, and stood motion
less, gazing down the narrow valley
where, like a silver thread, the
Rroomhaugh ran its tortuous course
II have never understood before"
she said, slowly, what the love of
ones native country is. You see, I
have never had native country. We
have always been wanderers upon the
face of the earth. But when one can
call place like this ones home, it
is very different--the most heartless
person could not help being pa
triot."

"Woff!" repeated Adonis. showing

Indeed" said VINEYARD, with
kindly interest, and following the di-

cause Of his annoyance.
This was the form of a young art
list, who, seated himself upon an hum
BILE camp-stool, was transferring to
his tiny paper very pretty glimpse
of the Broomwater.
AS the fisherman passed, the artist
slightly raised his hat with foreign
politeness, which salutation was im-
mediately returned, and Mistley con-
tinued on his way. When he had
passed out of sight, the artist prompt
ly rose from his seat and packed his
materials away into portfolio.

The London Economist has

The London Economist has this
note on the output of honk-wagons in
the United Kingdom: The motor
car industry bids fair to become one
of our most important manufacture
ing industries. 1t may be estimated
that the amount of capital now in
vested in the industry well exceeds
$5s,39S,OO0, and the total output of
vehicles of all kinds by British manu-
facturers for the current year can not
fall far short of $4,000, with an APP
proximate value of 21,S99,25O. AL
though British manufacturers entered
the field comparatively late in the
day, they are now turning out cars
which in respect of speed, cost, relia-
bility and finish can not be excelled
by the Continental manufacturers.
