upon the Commissioners Of the District
OF Columbia the power Of a public sery-
ice commission" The provisions of the
bill were published in detail recently.
In a letter to Representative Samuel
W Smith, chairman of the District
Committee OF the House, the Commis-
sioners say that IL is believed that the
proper regulations of the public utility
corporations can be made by the Com
missiOners with the assistance OF eX-
perts temporarily employed, " thout un-
duly adding 10 the burdens of the Com
missiOners and without unduly increas-
ing the expenses Of the District
In advocating the measure the Com
missioners say.
There are practically only six public
utility corporations IN the District Of
Columbia.
The questions which a public ser
vice commission would pass upon are
comparatively few, and can be deter
mined by the Commissioners Of the Dis
tTict OF Columbia If they are given the
powers and assistance which they ask,
without any greater difficulty than is
found In other questions constantly
coming before them and without an un-
due appropriation Of their official at
tention. They would be. as always. 3C-

II was said at Representative SteeIer-
sons offices, at the Capitol, that he was
expected to communicate with friends
here as soon as his sons body was re
covered or some definite information
concerning the tragedy was obtainable.
Before leaving the city yesterday az
ternoon in company with Representative
Volstead, Mr.. Steenerson disCredited the
idea that there was any indication OF
suicide or cause FOR such a deed. He
is inclined 20 the belief that his son

Man Goes Mad and

are recovering today from three
days suffering at sea in an open
Hfeboat.
The second night out the tortures
of thirst became so great that the
cook drank salt water. Soon he be-
came raving maniac, and in addi-
ton 10 their other suffering, the
three sane men in the boat were
tortured by his cries.
The four men were thought to
have been drowned when they tried
to launch the lifeboat when the
Emily Reed broke in two during
storm at the mouth of Neahelm
river, but it develops that their
boat was caught by the undertow,
and carried out 10 sea.
They had no compass, and their
effort TO steer for the Hghtship
failed. One vessel passed them early

mails. When this hope was gone

the bottom of the boat and died.
The other three continued 10 battle

MAY SAVE
OLD CLERKS JOBS
Upper House Expected to
Quash Drastic Bill for
Dismissal.

Senators, in whose number there are
many who may be called aged, are ex-
pected TO save the old Government
clerks BY modifying the drastic pro-
vision that was voted into the legisla-
tive appropriation bin yesterday after
noon. Although, on the motion OF Rep
reSentatiVe GOulden of New York the
paragraph as originally put in the bill
by the House Committee on Appropria-
tiOns. providing for the "demotiOn or
DISMISSAL Of any one incapacitated for
work. was stricken from the bill, sub
stitute was offered by Representative
TaWney. chairman of the con mittee
which removes the possibility Of mere
demotion, and provides for abso ute dis
missal for those clerks who q e inca
9acitate0 for performing the duties for
which they have been employed.
This. however, is not taken TO mean
that there will follow any wholesale
dispissais of Government clerks for any
cause The Senate, II is confidently eX-
pected. will remove the para graph from
me bill or modify in such manner as
to make It OF no avail. AS finally adopt
ed BY the upper house. the clause will
In all probability be so worded as 10
allow the heads of departments all
kinds of discretion and latitude in deal

which will mean that the aged clerks

STEVENSON DIED
AFTER WITNESSING
DEATH Of CHUh
Newport Police
Newport Police
Representative in New
port Looking After Re-
covery of Sons Body.

NEWPORT, r. J.. Feb. 1S.-Whether
Marine Corps Privates SteeneTson and
Mcintosh committed suicide by Ieaping
from the deck OF the tugboat Annie +.
wood. or whether they were flung tc
their deaths after a fight on board, IS
to be rigidly investigated By the naval
authorities.
Both marines. the police say. had been
CIR King when the tug steamed away
from Newport TO Fort Greble. They
had met Captain Rich in a local lunch
room and asked permission to accom-
pany him to the fort Mcintosh left the
sroup in the pilt house. saying he was
going after something to eat lie was
never seen again.
As soon as word went around that he
was missing Private Steenerson. the tug
boat people say. began 10 act like a mad
man. He raved OF the loss OF his COM
panion and then suddenly threw Of
his coat and jumped overheard. A life
preserver thrown TO him landed within
three feet. but he refused 10 accept aid
and sank Immediately.
The police verdict is that Mcintosh
fell overheard accidentally and that
Steenerson drowned himself when tenn
porarily deranged by the news OF his
friend fate.
Representative Steenerson of Mime
sofa, father of one Of the drowned
men, arrived here from Washington to-
day. The bodies have not been recov-
cred.
Captain Rich, OF the Annie r Wood
says all hands searched the nearby
waters for an hour without recovering
either body ard then returned and re-
ported the suicides.
No satisfactory explanation has been
furnished, however, of the bloodstains
found upon the uniform coat Of Steen-
ersOn which was found lying on the
deck.
