bill was passed
Explanation of Babcock.
Representative Babcock gave the only
explanation of the section that was
offered on the floor of either house. 1t
was that:
They Ghe company also ask au-
thority 10 go before the Supreme Court
of the District Of Columbia, when de-
string to make extensions or betterments
of their plant, or at any other time they
can show that the cash value of their
plant is in excess of the present capital
ization, and issue stock to the amount
Of such cash value at the rate of 100
cents on the dollar"
It therefore appears that the interpre-
tation put upon the section by the at
torneys for the Georgetown Company is
entirely justified 1t may be considered
significant, however, in connection with
the circumstances under which the
changes were made In the section, max
ing II a purely restrictive clause and
not the opposite, that neither company
has been willing to avail itself of the
legislation, although II was passed
eleven years ago
Since it's passage instead of using this
act to increase its capital stock. the
Washington Gas Light Company has

capital increased. and failing In that, It
issued In 1903 certificates OF indebted
ness" to the amount of its stock. s.,
100000. and gave them to the stock
holders. These certificates bear per
cent interest. They were issued entirely
without authority of Congress. and last
year bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative Adams of Wisconsin, directing
the Attorney General to institute quo
warranto proceedings against the com
pany for this action This bill did not
become a law, but IL Is understood that
it will be introduced again at the next
session.
This unusual method Of increasing the
securities of the company taken In con-
nection with the fact that the George
town Company, the much smaller con-
Germ of the two, and which has never
heretofore increased its stock, was first
allowed to test the law, as IL is now
doing before Justice Gould, may indi-
cate that there were grave doubts
about what construction would be put
upon section s. although its meaning as
declared by Mr.. Babcock at the time
was lucid enough

VOGEL HAS MADE GOOD
His Minstrel Show Will Prove 1t at the
Bennington Friday Evening

An occasional visit of a minstrel
show Is good thing for the theater
goer. Wearied by continuous course
of problem plays, lurid melodramas
and musical comedies, the stately
presence and sparkling conversation
OF the interlocutor appeals restfully to
him, while the familiar quips of the
end men are hailed as old friends re
turning from long journey, and it is
all very lovely. This statement is
especially true of as good minstrel
show as John w. Vogel's Big City
Minstrels are presenting, which comes
to the Bennington opera house Friday
evening. There is just enough new
ness about it 20 please, and just enough
OF the oldtime flavor to relieve 1t from
any change OF iconoclasm. And the
fact that the past ten years, demon
strated enthusiastic approval of every
item Of the bill, would indicate that
John W. Vogel's aggregation has
made good.

UseIessness of Killing Authors.

There Is really no use killing an
author to prevent the country pro-
ducing others, because the man with
book in him is like bird that must

to write books and strangle them be-
fore they find publisher but even
that would fail, because 1t is not pos
sible to tell who can write a success

expected ways. and even dogma can
not anticipate its uncertainties.-Sat-

Mr.. Buck is looking up Audette's
record and finds that he married In
