BILL WOULD LICENSE
WIRELESS OPERATORS
Senate Committee on Commerce Au-
thorizes Favorable Report ON
the Oepew Measure.

Despite protests that it would hinder
the development of the inventive genius
Of the American boy and would require
an army OF aerial engineers to enforce,
the Senate committee on commerce has
authorized a favorable report OH the
Depew bill. requiring licenses from the
federal government to use wireless teleg-
raphy.
The bill was amended SO as not TO re-
quire the payment Of any fee, thus pro-
viding that license shall be issued upon
application.
The bill contempiates the assigning b.
the government OF different wave lengths
TO different wireless telegraph compan mics,
thus preventing interference of messages
in the air. The bill gives the Secretary
OF Commerce and LABOR authority 10
make regulations for the government OF
those obtaining licenses from the gov
eminent.
The bill also prohibits the sending out
of fraudulent distress signals by wireless
and makes the penalty for a violation a
fine of not more than $500 or impris-
onment for not more than five years, or
both. The bill will be effective July 4.

DOUBT CLEARED UP AS TO
MATTHEW WRIGHT LEGACY
Two Orphan Asylums and Sunday
School Are the Benedciaries
Of the VIII.

That $4,000 legacy from Matthew
Wright, who died in 1S47 and left money
to the District, and which the board Of
education has been led to believe belongs
to the schools. is tucked away safe and
sound in the vault Of the Office OF the
tax collector, where no doubt exists that
it does not belong to the schools. Cou-
pons have been cut regularly from the
bonds bought with that money, and two
orphan asylums are getting the interest.
together with $50 a year which goes to
Ebenezer Station Sunday School.
The orphan asylum beneiciaries are the
Washington City Asylum and st. Vim
cents. Matthew Wright's bill indicated
that $50 year should go to the Sunday
school and the balance of the interest
should go to the orphan asylums incor-
porated at the time Of Matthew Wright s
death. The institutions mentioned were
the only two in existence at that time.
The will left the money to 1.-The mayor
of Washington" 1t was in the form of
6 per cent stock of the corporation of
Washington. When the 6 per cent stock
was released by the District government
by issue of per cent bonds this $4,000
was invested in 1868 bonds, and at SO low
a rate as to bring $4,000 registered bonds
in the name of the Commissioners Of the
District of Columbia, and $500 coupon
bonds of the District.
The Matthew Wright legacy account
has been reported annually in the audi
tors report for several years.

NO LOCAL FOOD TRUST,
COMMITTEE is TOLD
Heads of Grocers' Associations Deny
Existence of Agreement to
Raise Prices.

B. b. Earnshaw, president OF the
Wholesale Grocers' Association Of Wash
ington which was described as social
organization before the House committee
on the District OF Columbia. told that
committee at last nights hearing that
there was no food trust in Washington.
He denied there was any sort of an
agreement between the individual whole
salers or between the wholesalers and
retailers of the District to boost prices.
&c. E. Diggs, representing the Retail
Grocers' Association, made statement
TO the same effect.
The possibility Of a shortage OF food
in the local markets Ii the so-called la
beling and vendors license bills are pass
ed was limited at. Mr.. Earnshaw de-
plored any legislation in the form OF the
bills under consideration. and said that
such laws would drive the big manu-
facturers out of the local field.
Mr.. Earnshaw said that not one or two,
hut fifty causes contributed to the gen
eral increase in the cost OF FOOD stuns
and other commodities. He did not ak
uIain this view at length. The committee
wanted to know about the cost OF oeei
in Washington, but Mr. Earnshaw SAID
ha did not handle beef and could not give
any information onN the subject.
Mr.. .Diggs denied that the retailers had
entered into a conspiracy to put out
Of business the cooperative store or
ganized some time ago By government
employees. That concern, he said, faiied
because government clerks did not know
how to run a grocery business

CITES OREGON AS MODEL:
PRONOUNCED BEST FORM OF
POPULAR GOVERNMENT"
Senator Bourne Praises Initiative
and Referendum and Commends
Primary System.

Declaring that his state Of Oregon has
evolved 1.-The best form Of popular gov
eminent" Senator Jonathan Bourne. jr.,
In a speech in the Senate yesterday after
noon argued for the substitution Of direct
primaries for conventions on the ground
that it protected the people against boss
rule.
! Senator Bourne also praised the initia-
tive and referendum law. and all the
various features Of the primary system.
Results attained under direct legisla-
ton In Oregon" he said, compare so
favorably with the work Of q legislative
assembly that an effort to repeal the in
ttiative and referendum would be over
whelmingly defeated. No effort has been
attempted"
Summing up. Mr.. Bourne concluded:
Plainly stated, the aim and purpose OF
the laws are to destroy the irresponsible
political machine and put all elective
Offices in the state in direct touch with
the people as the real source of author
ity; In short, to give direct and full force
to the ballot of every individual elector
In Oregon and to eliminate dominance
Of corporate and corrupt influences in the
administration of public affairs.
THE Oregon laws mark the course that
must be pursued before the wrongful use
of corporate power can be dethroned, the
people restored to power and lasting re-
form secured. They insure absolute gov
eminent by the people,"
