LIGHT ON PUBLIC UTILITIES
Hearing on Investigation of Gas
and Railways by Bureau.
House District Committee TO Recon
isder the MOrreII and Madden
Joint Resolutions.

The District Committee Of the House
viii give a hearing, beginning at 10 o'clock
to-day. on the joint resolutions introduced
by Representatives MorreH and Madden
directing the Secretary Of Commerce and
Labor TO report TO Congress at the next
session all information in regard TO the
gas. electric light, and street railway COM
pauies in the District OF Columbia that
may be deemed necessary 10 eniighten
Congress I'm dealing with the question OF
reducing the price of gas and electric
lighting. and either reducing street rail-
way fares or securing universal trans
fers.
There Will be full meeting Of the COM
mittee, and Gen. Morren and Mr. Mad
den will address the committee in sup
port OF their proposition. The commit
tee passed on the resolutions last week
and decided, I'm view Of the sbortness Of
the session, TO lay them aside. This was
in no sense satisfactory TO those interest
ed In getting adequate legislation on the
public utilities Of the District, and the
committee reconsidered its decision and
ordered a hearing.
The hearings heretofore nave been main
ly taken up with the speeches Of the rep
resentatives Of the corporations that are
lighting TO maintain their present charges
10 the public. The facts have nevsrthe-
less come out that dividends are being
paid on an enormous amount of watered
stock and that trust corporations are inn
pOverishing subordinate companies by
leases and other transportation arrange
meuts. The determination 20 insist on
legislation that viii correct the abuses
indicated has grown stronger day by day
The hearing this morning is expected TO
result in q good deal of plant talk and
probably some show Of feeling.
It is claimed BY the representatives who
are making the peoples fight for better
facilities and lower prices for public serv-
ice by street railways and the gas and
electric Hight companies that an arrange
ment was reached several weeks ago that
the MOTrell or Madden resolution should
be passed this session as "A compromise

sctous of Family Tragedy.
VERSAILLES. France. July ST.
Major Henry A. Huntington. whose
son, Henry Huntington, shot his two
brothers and two sisters at his dying
fathers bedside, passed away last
night.
Major Huntington had n family resi-
dence In Chicago at Sixteenth street
and Indiana avenue. This locality Is
one OF the fashionable sections OF that
city, and the family was prominent In
society and entertained largely.
The death OF the aged American sol
disr himself and an attempt at self de-
struction on the part OF his son. Henry,
who shot his sisters and brothers in the
last hours OF his dying father, impart-
ed additional sadness TO the shocking
tragedy In the home OF the veteran off,
Ger. which has caused a sensation in
the American colony and diplomatic
circles OF France.
Major Huntington died shortly after
the news was given out OF the unsuc-
cessful attempt at suicide by the de-
mented son, but the father was spared
the anguish OF knowledge both OF this
incident and the terrible crime which
shattered his household, as he was un.
conscious TO the end.
The condition or Alonzo. who was
shot in the head. is critical. and OF
Elizabeth, who was shot In the region
OF the heart, very serious.
Henry, the youngest son Of Major
Huntington, has been considered un-
balanced mentally for years.

Two Women.
NEW YORK. July 31.-within & few
hours after the discovery OF the muir
der by stranguIatfon OF a woman now
identified as Mrs. Sophie Kehrer. at
45T West Twenty second street. an
other young woman was found stran-
gled to death in the areaway of 204
East Einetieth street
Both crimes were marked by almost
incredible cruelty. and it may turn out
that both are the work OF one and the
same degenerate.
After the women had been murdered
their bodies were mutilated I'm various
ways
With an excess OF violence Mrs.
Kehrer was first strangled to death
with a silken cravat drawn so tight
that * cut into her flesh Then her
neck was gripped and crushed in the
mans strong fingers. Finally the muir
derer made crescent-shaped cuts OF his
victims arm. cheek and neck.
In the East Ninetieth street case the
victim was torn almost limb from
limb, and there Is evidence which
leads the coronSr's physician to de-
clare that several men must have
taken part In the crime.
Passing through East Ninetieth
street at dawn, Policeman John
Healey saw the woman's body lying
in heap I'm the areaway OF 204.
Investigating. he found the body still
warm. but the wrists were cold and
pulseless. Healey sent In a call for
an ambulance from the Presbyterian
hospital, which was answered by DR..
Croscagen.
The theory that the woman was a
victim OF ripper after having been
strangied gained ground when blood
was discovered on her stockings and
shoes.
