URGES COMMISSION
FOR THE DISTRICT
Chairman Smith Will Con-
fer With President
Tomorrow.

The appointment OF a public service
commission. which shall have entire
charge Of public service corporations in
the District. viii be urged upon the
House at an early date by Representa-
tive Samuel w. Smith, chairman of the
House District Committee.
There Is urgent need for the appoint
ment Of such a commission said Mr..
Smith today. AT the present time the
only supervision the District has over
such corporations Is through the Inter
state Commerce Commission. A law
should be passed creating a body which
would exercise authority over all public
service corporations and I shall do my
best 70 get through such a bill early in
the pre- 5en- session.
II is probable that there will be little
District legislation until after the
Christmas recess. The printing office
is 50 crowded with work that the Dis
trict Committee has been unable TO get
its bills back in time for consideration
OF the full committee tomorrow. The
prospects are, therefore, that Mr.. Smith
viii be unable 70 bring any District leg
islatiOn into the House next Monday.
The next District day will be January
10 and Mr.. Smith hopes to induce
Speaker Cannon TO allow the cOnsidera,-
ton OF District business on Monday,
January 10. and on the following day.
Mr.. Smitn will go TO the White House
tomorrow and confer with the President
on several matters involving proposed
District legislation. The chairman said
today that he could not discuss the ma
ture OF his conference with the Presi-
dent, but admitted that District affairs
would be discussed generally.

NEW YORK. Nov. 81 D. m.-Since

fluctuations, and the Street apparently
in an uncertain frame of mind
The opening was moderately active
and frr.. although commission houses
said the response on the part of the
public to President Taft's conservative
message was disappointing. Traders
seemed uncertain what to do, and in or

GOSSIP FROM WALL STREET

Hutton & Co.-The report of the
court of appeals curbing the public
service commission Of New York State
in the Delaware and Hudson case is de-
cIared by high authorities to be much
more important and significant than the
Street seems to think. II is believed that
President Taft will be persuaded that
the powers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission must be confined strictly 20
supervision and correction Of evils
rather than paternal direction that
would deprive corporations Of constitu-
tonal rights.
w B. Hibbs & Co-Wabash gross
earnings last month were S2,44o.ooo,
against the official estimate Of s.. 1856, 900.
The October estimate was 81. 625, 900,
whereas the October actual earnings
were $2,647.0 Traffic has been better
than expected for several months. The
gains are in general business, which is
always a healthy sign. After the panic
tne road had a bigger movement Of
grain and live stock, which was an I'M
healthy sign.
Z. II. Hartman & Co.-The increase
al the gross earnings Of Brooklyn Rap
Id Transit during November is being
continued. For the first week in De-
cember the average daily increase IN
gross was over 5000, compared with
an increase of slightly better than 5000
last month Last Sstu cday gross re-
ceipts were $50. 619. or 1885 larger than
a year ago; while tn, gross figures
for the first four days Of this month
were practically SIS. 900. or nearly S25,OV
larger than for the corresponding four
