The most striking characteristic Of the
foreign commerce OF the United states

70 avail Itself OF It's privilege OF issuing
s ,OOJ additional shares OF par value or

the act or June 6. 1896
This act OF authorize ton has been IN
force for eleven years. and yet neither
company has used IL 10 increase its
capital stock much as the Washington
company has desired 10 do 50. The
Washington company has preferred 10
appeal directly tc Congress, and, failing

Indeed. there are interesting differ
ences between the language and spirit
OF his law Of 1896 and the citations
quoted from 1t in the petition OF the
Georgetown company. Instead OF be
ing an enabling act passed Tor the pur-
pose Of allowing the gas companies 10
Increase their capitalize ton, 81 is really
company, which. OF course, Is known
10 the public, quotes very charity from
the language OF this law. In order
10 illustrate these differences II Is IN
teresing TO quote from both. The com
paTisOn may throw some light on the
reason for not taking advantage Of the
Law all these years ny the Washing
ton company.
The petition simply states that the
actual cash value OF the property is
largely In excess Of the aforesaid
capitalization. that by virtue Of the
act OF 1895 the petitiOper is authorized
and empowered 10 issue additional
shares OF stock for the purpose OF in
cre9sing its capitalization. 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 engagements OF
plants.
The enabling act referred to in the
petition starts out with requirements 10
decrease the price Of gas both in
Washington and Georgetown, and to in
crease the candle power from sixteen
to twenty-five. TITS latter provision
has since been changed by repeated
clauses In District appropriation bills
10 requirement for only twenty-five
candle power. Section OF the act then
goes on to provide for stock limita-
ton II provides: That neither the
Washington Gas Light Company nor
the Georgetown Gas Light Company
shall hereafter issue any greater num-
Der of shares of stock than shall be
equal 10 the actual cash value OF said
plants and necessary cost Of the con-
struction OF future extensions or fu-
ture enlargement Of plants.

Mrs. Magills own physician says she
had been in the habit Of taking headache

added the fact that a small amount OF
arsenic may have been contained In the

ago, which almost led to divorce, pro-
vide material for speculation today.
-Four months before her death Mrs
Magfil went 10 the home OF her rela-

was gone Faye Graham moved Into
the Magill home, that she might be
