the ARRANGEMENTS are all perfected for
the meeting OF Monday, and the scheme,
Il IS positively stated. Will go through.
The menace Of Congressional action,
however, may vet give pause About
dozen years ago Senator Spooner OF
Wisconsin was chairman Of a special
committee which made q thorough in
Monopoly down TO that date. and made
a most Illuminating report The feeling
IS strong that the time is ripe for an
other inquiry Of the same sort; and this
IS what the public men Of Capitol Hill
ere today talking about
Cheaper Gas In Sight.
The Spooner investigation resulted In
a report which gave the public its first
loOk-in upon the real richness Of the
Gas AonopCIy's good thing in this town.
1t was shown that the business started
with a 1900 corporation, not all Of
whose 81 lch was paid I'D. It has earn
ed huge profits ever since, and from the
surplus has developed the physical
property q its present magnitude. The
public, OF course, has paid the bills for
all this, Ia excessive prices Of gas

MAY USE CHURCHES
FOR MODEL HOUSES

ROME, Feb 5.-PietrO Chiers, a So
ciaIist member OF the chamber Of depu-
ties, believes that the government
should interfere at once TO furnish
homes for the poor who crowd the
cheaper tenements Of Rome and the
other cities throughout Italy 20 a point
which is far beyond the health limit
He made the novel suggestion to the
speaker Of the chamber that oue-haIf Of
the churches and religious Institutions
IN the cities, all Of which are owned
BY the state, be transformed into model
tenements
As such, he insists. they viii be far
better for the use Of the people, and
there VIII stH be enough churches and
places Of religious worship to go round
IWenty-three fellow-deputies have in
dorsed Chiera's plan.
The cost and scarcity Of lodgings in
Rome and many Of the larger cities Of
italy Is a serious matter, and there has
been an enormous amount Of suffering
and several actual tragedies through the
exorbitant demands Of Landlords
