pointed by the President would be the

Coudrey Measure Adversely.


Prohibiting any person, company. or
corporation who furnish gas or cleo
tricity in the District from demanding
deposits from customers when making
application for gas or electricity. is the
substance of Representative Coudreys
BILL which was referred TO the Commits
siOners for recommendation.
The Commissioners will advise the
House District Committee that they do
not see any necessity for the legislation
proposed. and therefore do not recon-
mend favorable action
In reporting upon this bill the Com
missioners Will say that the District IN
stalls water meters and requires the con-
sumer to pay years rent in advance,
and they believe that some arrangement
of this kind is necessary to protect public
service corporations against loss by rea-
son Of INSCRIPTIONS consumers.
In connection with this bill and other
bills OF a similar nature regarding the
operations Of the public service corpora
tons, the Commissioners say they recog-
nize their lack OF knowledge OF condi-
tons and Information necessary TO make
intelligent reports, due TO their lack of
supervision and control over the corpora
tons. They have recommended that they
be clothed with the power OF a public
service commission. which. IL granted,

William Jennings Bryan and his poll
eies were repudiated at a meeting Of the
Jefferson Day banquet committee IN the
Riggs House last night
1t was turbulent meeting from the
start.
Al the disturbance was caused by the
receipt OF a mimeographed letter from
William Jennings Bryan. declining an in
vitation 10 attend the dinner, one copy
being sent to the banquet committee in
Washington, while another copy OF the
same letter was sent 20 be read at an
other banquet in Indianapolis.
Typewriter Signature.
The letter was signed with a tyne
written signature and sent by Charles
Bryan. the brother Of the Peerless
Leader" apd IL was presumed by the
committee that three, four, or a dozen OF
the same letters had been sent to other
committees all over the country to be
read at Jefferson Day banquets.
The committee took execution IN tha
policies enunciated by Mr. Bryan. but
finally, after long and acrimonious dis
cussion. It was decided to refer that let
ter, together with all other letters re-
ceived by the committee. TO a committee
of four prominent Democrats. members
Of the House and Senate.
Mr.. Bryan in his letter referred 10 a
number Of old issues OF 1896. and In this
connection said it remained for a Repub-
hcan President TO uphold the Demo.
cratic policies at that time-namely. the
money question.
He said President Taft in a recent
speech said the present high cost Of lfv-
ing was due to the cumulative theory
Of money on which our present monetary
system is based. Mr.. Bryan said this
was what he contended for in 1895
Another point in the letter that caused
discussion was the way Mr.. Bryan com
pared the Jeffersonian doctrine as applied
IN Brazil 70 that Of the United States.
Protests at Action.
After the meeting adjourned and every
body was on the sidewalk in front OF the
hotel. one prominent Democrat shouted:
