PLOT TO DETHRONE THE CAR
SENSATIONAL STORY BEING
TOLD IN ST. PETERSBURG.
Claimed That Reactionaries Were
Striving to Install the Emperor's
Uncle as Regent.

ST. PETERSBURG. February ia
sensational story of a reactionary plot to
Emperor Nicholas and proclaim
IL regency in Russia is being related in ST.
Petersburg today in connection with the
recent death of Grand Duke Vladimir.
the emperor's eldest uncle. The authority
for the story is high judicial official of
ST. Petersburg According to this indi-
vidual the affair was uncovered in con-
nection with the revelations concerning
the Azef and Lopukine cases. While in
vestigating the relations between Azef
and the reactionary organizations (Azef
is the man who has been condemned TO
death by the organiZat ton because of his
alleged treachery), the prosecuting de-
partment of the government found indi
cations that the organization. dissatisfied
with the present moderate policy of the
government, desired to substitute a strong
handed reactionary regime. and had
formed a plan to establish regency
under Grand Duke Vladimir. How far
the grand duke was cogniZant of this
scheme is not set forth. but the official in
question said today that a search of the
documents in Vladimirs palace was about
to be undertaken when the grand duke
suddenly died. This put end to the
project.

HOUSE LECTURE ON DECORuM
SPEAKER CANNON REPLIES TO
CRITICISM OF MEMBERS.
Explains from the Floor Why He
Should Dislike to Name" Gen
tlemen Out of Order.

Speaker Cannon replied from the floor
of the House today to criticisms of Rep
resentative Foster of Vermont Repre-
sentative Douglas of Ohio, Representative
Davis of Minnesota and others of the
continual disorder in the chamber. Mr..
Foster had been advocating in a speech
during general debate on the fortifica-
ton bill that just before the convening
of the next session of Congress at gen.
era conference of republicans and dem
ocrats be called to consider this ques-
ton of disorder. The racket in the House
during the consideration of public buSi-
ness has been worse this session than
ever before, old-timers say, and Mr.. Fos-
ter thinks it about time something was
done.
Mr.. Foster mentioned that twenty-five
years ago member of the House might
come on the floor with a jag" and get
away with it, but times had changed, and
the member that tried that sort of thing
nowadays would find himself in trouble
with his constituents and everybody else.
He thought however that conditions
might improve still further. SO that mem
bers might pay some attention to the
business before the House instead of talk
ing or reading or putting their feet on
their desks
Mr.. Douglas interrupted Mr.. Foster at
this point, desiring to know why the
speaker toulu not OTueT Dy call
ing out the names of those members who
refused TO heed the humping of the
gavel or the admonition of the chair.
Here was where Speaker Cannon came
into the debate, and members crowded
about him as he reminisced of Speakers
past and gone.
Mr. Cannon said in effect that in all his
terms of service in the House he had
only heard one Speaker-and that was
Crisp-cal out the name of a member for
being out of order.
I'm that case" said the Speaker, 'the
member in question was made to walk to
his seat ahead of the mace. He was a
big enough man to stand it. but l would
hate to have it happen to me-.
Mr. Cannon said he thought that if he
called out the names of members for be-
ing out of order that they would resent
II. and that perhaps the incident being
published in the newspapers might also
hurt that member in his district.
Mr. Foster remarked in conclusion that
If members of the House were gentlemen.
which they undoubtedly were. being mere
ly thoughtless with respect to observance
of the rules of decorum, they certainly
should behave as such.
He didn't get much applause when he
took his seat.

STOCK INCREASE REGULATED
One Inch Pressure at Meters Re
quired-Price to Consumers to
Drop With Raising of
Dividend Rate.

Favorable action was taken today by
the Senate committee on the District of
Columbia on Senator Gallinser's substi-
tute for all measures now pending i'll Con-
greSS on the subject of the regulation OF
the manufacture and sale of gas in the
District. The only important changes by
the committee were to limit the increase
of capital stock to $4,000 900 for the
Washington Gas Light Company and
S4JU0JU for the Georgetown Gas Com
pany. and to add section requiring one
inch pressure al the consumers meters.
Senator Gallinger reported the measure
to the Senate Immediately following the
meeting of the committee. For the pur-
pose OF explaining the theory upon which
the sliding scale is fixed for the price of
gas and the dividends on capital Sstock
Mr.. Gallinger will file a written report
either tomorrow or Monday.
Ninety-Cent Gas.
The maximum price of gas is fixed al
80 cents as was originally provided in
the Gallinser bill, and the dividend OH
stock is fixed at I per cent, with the
proviso that whenever the companies in
crease their dividend l point they shall
reduce the price of gas d cents. This
is the same sliding scale that is in effect
in Boston.
of the companies may be increased to
the total cash value of the plants. which
shall be determined by the Supreme Court
OF the District through board of three
appraisers, with the limit already stated,
which is contained in the following new
provlso:
Increase of Stock.
That the total amount of capital stock
that may be issued under and by virture
of this act by the ashinston Gas Light
Company shall not exceed $7,400.O 900 un-
less the said certificates of indebtedness
shall have been first converted into capl-
tai stock, nor more than s1UWO,O0O after
the said certificates have been converted
into capital stock, as above provided; nor
shall the total amount of capital stock
that may be issued by the Georgetown
Gas Light Company exceed $4,000, unless
it's outstanding certificates of indebted
ness shall have been first converted into
capital stock, nor more than S4JU,OOO after
the said outstanding certificates of in
debtednesS have been converted into capi-
tai stock, as above provided
Pressure of Gas.
The new section relating TO pressure Is
as follows:
THAT there shall be maintained and
recorded at stations to be fixed by the
Commissioners of the District of Column
bia. as public needs in their judgment
may require, at all times such gas pres
sure at each consumers meter as to be
at least equivalent to that required to
support a column of water one inch in
height"
In practically every other respect the
bill is left unchanged by the committee
and has been printed in full in The Star.
The provision against more than 10 per
cent of carbon monoXide is not altered.
1t is understood that there will be no
minority report.
Senator Galinger will make hard fight
for the passage of the bill at this session.
but he realizes that the ShortneSs OF the
time makes his success doubtful ques-
ton.
