The Gas trust was denounced severely
last night by Representative Cox OF
Indiana and Representative Clark of
Florida, at the regular meeting of tie
Congress Heights Citizens Association.
Both members Of Congress declared
the people of Washington should be re
lieved OF the oppression by the gas
monopoly, and should be Represented in
Congress and rule its own corporations.
If the reports are true" Mr.. Cox
said, the people of Washington are
completely in the power of the Gas
trust. This corporation has so fastened
itself upon you that you cannot see your
way clear TO free yourself from its
grasp"
Mr. Cox was bitter in denouncing the
policy Of the Gas trust and the oppres-
sion its methods have caused. He de-
clared his strong advocacy for suffrage
in the District of Columbia and said
that the sooner the new form of gov
eminent was instituted, and the citizens
OF the District given the right to rule
their corporations, the better it would
be for the whole country.

People Have Won Fight
Against the Gas Monopoly,
Says Corporation Counsel

''The people have won a decisive vic
tory in their fight against Wasington's
gas monopoly" said Corporation Coun-
sci Thomas Thomas today.
Nothing remain to be done, do not
know what the intentions Of counsel
for the gas company are. do not know
whether they contemplate an appeal to
the Supreme Court OF the United States.
'As the matter now rests the section
OF the act of 1906 IS unconstitutional.
Nothing can be done to increase the
capitalization Of the Washington Gas
1Aght Company under its provision. That
e. all We have been fighting for"
r. Ross Perry, counsel for the Wash
fngton Gas Light Company declined 70
make any comment whatever on the de-
cisiOn handed down yesterday or its ef-
feet on the company. He waived a re-
porter aside with an imperiOus sweep
or his arm and said:
I'm not lighting my battles through
the newspapers. do my business
through the courts. I won't say any
thing about the matter for publication.

he concluded, as he slammed his Of

MARY MARSHES MOTIVE
 Is STILL A MYSTERY
An Inquest Yesterday Brought Out no Additional Facts Concerning the Suicide

An inquest was held yesterday by Acting Coroner Johnstone on the body or Mary Marsh. who died on Sunday afternoon from the effect of chloro- form self administered on Saturday night. It had not been thought nec- esary to hold an inquest since phy- sicians had been with the girl in a vain attempt to restore her from 10 o'clock on Saturday night until 5 o'clock the following afternoon. The body had been removed to Merryman's undertaking establishment, the cause of the death not having yet been made known there.
 On learning yesterday morning of the suicide Acting Coroner Johnstone ordered an inquest. The members of the jury were J. J. COttreil. Willis Graham, w. k. James. Jacob Miller, F. F. Van Kirk and P K. Hickey Be- side the testimony of the physicians there was that of a young sister Of the dead girl and Miss Pendleton. the housekeeper. who with the sister, found Miss Marsh unconscious in her room. Another witness was Mrs. Buckley and still another. the mother, Mrs. L. c. Marsh, who arrived yester- day morning from California.
 It had been thought that the inquest might develop the motive Tor the sui eide but did not. Two notes which had been left, one to the sister and the other to the mother had been de- stroyed, but Mrs. Marsh said that fn the note to her her daughter had stated that she was in her right mind and had given the act she was about to commit due deliberatiOn. Sine exon erated all other persons from all blame. She had found that there was nothing in life to live for and had decided to die. The note to her sister was little more than one of farewell.
 Altogether the inquest added n0th- ing at all to the information regarding the case printed by The Republican yesterday morning.
 Miss Pendletcn, Mrs. Buckley and Miss Grace Marsh said that there had been nothing in the manner of Miss Marsh to hint that she contemplated suicide. She had seemed cheerful all day on Saturday and as late on Sat urday night as wl.er ske retired to her room
 The coroner's jury found that death was the result of chlOrOfOrm taken with suicidal intent.

 When he was two years old the eczema got on his arms and legs so that had to keep them bandaged up and made gloves for his hands so the nails could not poison him worse. We could not get nights sleep in months and my husband and 1 were all broken up. Then my mother asked why 1 did not give up the doctors and try C1bicura. So I got set and he felt relieved the first time l used them, the Cuticura Ointment felt so cool. He used to wake up and ask for Cuti- cura to be put on when he itched so badly that he could not sleep, and he would say, oh! Mama, that makes my sores feel so goodr 1 gave the Cuticura Remedies a good trial and gradually the eczema healed all up and now he is as well as any other chil- dren.
