ONFERENCESOUGHT
IN SIXTH DISTRICT
Maryland Republicans Re-
new Efforts to Agree on
Candidate.

It was learned here today that efforts
were being renewed by the Republican
| leaders IN the Sixth Maryland district
TO obtain conference Of all interests
I in the hope Of agreeing upon a caDdi-
date for Congress who can save The
party from defeat in the November
election
The adoption Of the primary system
OF naming Congressional candidates in
Maryland is responsible for this alarm
on the part OF the Republican leaders.
Under the old convention plan. the
party managers could get together and
name the most promising man fl the
field They could eliminate all Candi-
dates who had no chance against the
Democratic nominee
Just now, however, the field is fun OF
Republican candidates. There are four

HASTE OF GAS OFFICIAL
QUITE NATURAL.

Back IN the late afternoon of the
last session OF Congress 1t nav be re-
membered that very bungIesome at
tempt was made to double-cross the
House District Committee with a
smoothly Phrased gas bill. intended to
permit the local Gas Monopoly to leave
undOne all those things that IL ought
TO do, and TO do all those things that
II ought to leave undOne. 1t VIII also
probably be remembered that The
Washington Times punetured that
famous measure so full of holes that It
looked Ike a population card after the
census girl gets through decorating It
Perhaps It VIII be remembered that
the House District Committee dropped
the bin as If It had been the proverbdal
hot coal, and then bribed the janitor TO
grasp 1t with a pair Of fire tongs and
heave 1t out the window, after the
dynamite had been discovered and dis
played TO the members OF the com
mittee by The Times.
Those who have been following the
intensely interesting maneuvers of the
Washington gas officials have a dis
tinct recollection of these events They
knOw-what practically every member
Of Congress knows-that the willy
efforts of the gas magnates surrep-
titiously 10 get that gas bin through
Congress, and the methods craftIIv en-
pioyed 10 gain that end. constituted
one OF the scandals OF the session
Everybody realizes now that the
provisions of the gas bill in question
were so VIGOROUSLY bad that the bill
actually killed itself when its vicious
ness was exposed.
Bear this carefully in mind and be
prepared for a statement that Is well
calculated TO take the breath away.
but Is nevertheless true:
THE FINANCIAL REORGANIZA-
TON PLAN OF THE GAS COMPANY.
JUST ANNOUNCED, Is WORSE
THAN THE PLAN OF ORGANIZA-
TION CONTEMPLATED IN THE
BILL THAT THE COMMITTEE
KILLED.
Think OF the supreme gall required
by the men who have attempted to
carry out such a program Halted in
their stock and dividend juggiery be
cause Of the outrage which their prac-
tees would infiict on the consumers Of
gas in the District. the Gas Company
turns around as soon a. Congress ad-
jOurns and proposes a reorganization
scheme worse than the one which Con
gress emphatieally refused to coun-
tenanee, one which was so bad that it
was not permitted to live twenty -four
hours!
Is 1t any wonder that the gas Of
fcers are anxious TO accomplish their
purposes before Congress meets again
The Coudrey gas biI-accepted by
Mr. CoUdrey from the man who had
previously been the attorney for The
Times, and was believed by Mr..
Coudrey stiH TO be acting for this
newspaper-would have permitted the
gas company 10 set aside $780, 900 every
year as profits TO bondhOlders and
stockholders and as surplus, bat only
on condition that the price OF gas be
reduced from 90 to so cents. II the
price remained at 90 cents, the com
