1t was no secret here long be-
before the death Of Senator Arthur
Pue German that he was heavily in
terested in the stocks OF the Washing
ton Gaslight Company the Capitol
Traction Company, several local
banks, and also held many choice par
cells OF real estate whose value enhan-
ced as legislation was enacted to re-
quire good deal of improvements in
the vicinity Of this property. When
the late Senator's will was filed for
probate here it disclosed his exact
holdings, which approximated some
thing more than 100000 A tidy
sum that, to be made from a lawyers
salary.
Concerning his investments, the
distinguished Marylander differed in
only one respect from his stock-hold-
ng colleagues He cared not a ttlk-
er's mite who knew that he owned a
corporation stock. Unless he had
reasons other than that he feared dis
closure, his name usually appeared as
owner Of the stock Now in this day
Of reform your modern lawmaker has
learned wisdom. He IS highly sensitive
Of criticism, and when the finger Of
public scorn points his way he usually
in the language Of the American small
boy, "beats it." In short, he prepares
for pitfalls by putting his stock hold
ings in the name Of a secretary or
clerk Knowing this, Representative
Sims has worded his proposed meas
ure 50 as to relieve secretaries and
clerks Of this proxy duty

WASHINGTON ITEMS OF

CORRESPONDENCE COVERING
LAST AND BEST GOSSIP OF
THE GREAT CAPITAL.

WASHINGTON, Jan.l3.- Pressure
is being brought TO bear BY the "re-
form element" in the House TO get
action this session on Representative
Sims'bill which makes it unlawful for
Senator's and Representatives, OF their
private secretaries and clerks, to own
stock in any District OF Columbia cor
poration. The bill, which has just re-
.ceived the hearty approval Of the Dis
triet Commissioners, TO whom all leg
islation affecting the District Of Col
umbia is referred, has been introduced
| in good faith by the Tennessee Con-
gresham. 1t might be called "re-
dictionary measure" offered as an ei-
fective means Of putting stop to that
form of legislation which is inspired
solely to proomte the seli-interest of
stock owning legislators and their
friends.
It would probably shock the sensi-
bilities OF the unsophisticated II they
knew the inside Of certain legislative
deals in the past that have invol-
we'd local corporations, Congression-
al inquiries and Investigations have fire.
quently disclosed that members Of
Congress were holders of stock in
corporations here and elsewhere, and
particularly in concerns whose inter-
ests would be affected by Federal leg
islation. This may to a certain extent
explain why residents Of the District
Of Columbia have put up such deter
mined fight to obtain reform legis-
lation affecting the Washington Gas
light Company or either or both Of
the two local traction companies. To
the average Washingtonian accustom-
ed to febuffs in the legislative halls
there always appears to be guiding
the opposition the hand Of some self
legislator And, moreover,
the evidences in view seems to just
ify this suspicion.

Senator Dolliver is another who is
widely known as having this art down
to a fine point, almost as much SO as
had the late Secretary Blaine, about
whose ability to remember the faces
and names Of men many stories are
told. Most Of the elder statesmen pay
no attention to such frivolities as
speaking to plain people. Senator
Hale, Of Maine, enjoys the reputation
Of being the most frigid lawmaker
alive. He rarely speaks publicly to
any person Of rank below that Of
member Of Congress. Even his more
sober-minded colleagues regard his
attitude toward the public as some
thing like that Of an icicle !.
But the newest class Of statesmen,
inspired perhaps by the live realiza-
tion Of the restriction which primary
laws impose on public careers, are not
above vieing with each other in cul-
tivation Of their faculty for making
friends.
