United States to the credit OF the District
of Columbia not less than $500 nor more
than $4,000 for each offense."
Immediately after the holidays the Dis.
trict committee will meet to consider the
Oldfeld bill. The opinion is expressed by
Mr.. Oldfield. who has studied the statutes
of the various states on the subject, that
the District of Columbia, before Congress
adjourns next spring. will have the finest
public utility commission it is possible to
create to regulate it's public service cor
poratiOns. There seems to be no question
in the minds Of members OF the Senate
and House District committees but that
the Gallinger and Oldfield bills will be
reconciled and a statute enacted this
winter.

REPORT ON BILL SOON.
Subcommittee to Consider District
Primary Measure After Recess.

The Bristow bill. proposing the holding
Of presidential preferential primaries in
the District of Columbia. will receive
consideration by the subcommittee of the
Senate District committee, to which it
was referred, shortly after Congress re-
convenes after the holiday recess.
Senator BristOw announced today that
he had received assurances that a meet
ing of the subcommittee to consider the
measure would be called early in Janu-
airy, and he thinks report will be made
to the full committee soon after that.
Some minor amendments to the bill were
proposed by Mr.. Bristow in the Senate
today, and they will be considered with
the original bill. The author received q
letter pointing out that the bill might be
construed as requiring a majority Of all
votes cast In the primary. instead Of a
majority Of all votes cast for the particu-
lar Office in question, and that this con-
structiOn might lead to serious difficulties
in case a smaller number of votes were
cast for one Office than for another. 1t
was to remedy that, chiefly, that the
amendments were drafted.

FISH MARKET PLANT.
Commissioners Advised to Await De.
cision of Court.

Health Officer Woodward has recon-
mended that an appropriation be made ia
improve the conditions at the fish market
at the foot of 18th street. The wharves
there are declared by him to be in an in
sanitary and unsightly condition. almost
disgrace to the city. This recommends
ton has been given to Corporation Coun-
sci Thomas. who suggests that the Com
missioners wait until the decision Of a
case now in court.
In 1908 the Commissioners notified w.
w. Riley, lessee. to vacate the premises
because of alleged failure to install sewer
and water connections. Riley refused and
instituted Injunction proceedings against
the Commissioners to retain his occu-
pancy. The case is still unsettled. and
Corporation Counsel Thomas Is of the
opinion that the Commissioners should
await the courts decision before mourning
the expenses for the Improvement of the
fish market.

NEW UTILITIES BILL
0ldfield'S Measure Provides
Commission for District.
INTRODUCES IT IN HOUSE
Representative From Arkansas Has
Made Study Of Subject.
SIMILAR TO GALLNGER LAW
Principal Difference Is in Method of
Valuation Of Property of Public
Service Corporations.
SIMILAR TO GALLMGER LAW

Representative Oldfield of Arkansas one
of the most prominent members of the
House committee on the District of CO.
lumbia, who has been studying for some
months the various states and cities laws
governing the regulation of public utili-
ties, today introduced in the House a bill
treating a public utilities commission in
the District of Columbia. Mr. Oldfield' S
measure is somewhat similar to that re-
Gently introduced by Senator Gallinser,
chairman of the District committee of the
Senate.
Mr.. Gallinger introduced one public
utilities bill last spring. to which con-
siderable exception was taken by men,
bers of the House committee. Recently,
however. he introduced another one very
much more in accord with their views
1t is understood that the members of
the House District committee have been
freely consulted by Mr.. Oldfield in the
preparation of his bill.
The principal feature of difference be-
tween the Oldfeld and Gallinger meas
ures has to do with the method of ap-
praisal of the physical valuation of public
service corporations. Following are sew
era1 sections of the Oldfield bill which
differ materially from the Gallinger meas
ure and which are of considerable local
interest and Importance:

The proceedings for obtaining such certif-
icate of authority from the commission,

issued, and the total assets and liabilities
of the public utility in such detail as the
commission may require
Inc commission also may require the
public utility to furnish any further state
ment of facts or evidence that 1t may
deem pertinent to the inquiry. The COM
mission shall thereupon determine If such
proposed issue be necessary to the proper
conduct Of the business Of such public
utility. stating the amount character,
purposes and terms on which stocks, GER

REGAINS VALUABLE WATCH
Timepiece Lost Two Years Ago
Again in Hands Of Owner-Holi-
day Social Functions.

special Correspondence Of The Star
ALEXANDRIA, Va, December p. 1911.
The finishing touches on the report of
the finances of the defunct Mercantile
hallway Building and Loan Association
are today being made by H. Noel Car
ner, special commissioner.
Mr.. Garner said this morning that he
expects to complete his report tomorrow.
The report will at once be submitted to
the circuit court for this city for action.
There have been many rumors as to what
the report will show. but no official fig
ures in connection with it have as yet
been announced
There is considerable speculation among
the depoSitorS in the association as to
what amount they will receive. One of
the most salient points which will. it is
thought, be brought out will be regarding
the distribution of the proceeds of the
concern. The question will be whether
Or not the shareholders or depositors will
be placed on the same footing with the
stockholders. This point will undoubtedly
be raised. and in all probable result in
additional litigation before the matter Is
finally determined upon by the courts.
The Mercantile Railway Building and
Loan Association closed it's doors Janu-
airy II, 1911, about two weeks following
the collapse of the Virginia Safe Deposit
and Trust Company.
Receivers Lost Watch.
After being lost for nearly two years.
during which time the owner had given
up all hope Of ever recovering it. Will
liam F. H. Fink, tie and lumber in
spector Of the Southern Railway Com
pany, who lives at 200 Duke street, last
night recovered his handsome gold
watch, valued at 500. January 27.
1909. Mr. Fink attended a banquet given
by the chamber of commerce, and after
leaving Armory Hall. where it was
held, discovered that his watch and fob
were gone.
He notified the police, and they in turn
notified the Washington authorities.
Mr.. Fink also advertised for it in the
newspapers. He was uncertain, how
ever, whether it was lost or had been
stolen. All trace Of the watch vanished.
and nothing was heard from 1t until
yesterday morning.
tering the jewelry store OF Il. Z. Acton
& Sons, laid the timepiece on the counter
and asked its value. Richard E. Acton,
senior member of the firm, at once recog-
nized the watch as the property Of Mr.
Fink. He told the man 70 call later In
the day, and he would examine the watch
and ascertain it's value. The man did as
requested. and in the meantime Mr.. Fink
was notified and identified the watch as
his property.
Upon the return Of the colored man he
was informed Of the ownership and given
a reward of s. for his trouble.
The coIored man explained that he
found the watch only yesterday morning
on OronocO street near St Asaph street,
and knew nothing Of its past history. The
watch was in perfect order and the only
thing missing was the fob.
