deemed 1t recently.
When Macdonald and Precinct Detec-
tive Messer met and recalled having
served together, the man behind the bars
said: I've got myself in a whole lot OF
trouble adding that he was justified In
doing what he did.
Assistant United States Attorney
Charles III. Turner visited the first pre-
cinct police station yesterday afternoon
and discussed the shooting with the po-
lice. He directed the detectives to advise
Macdonald that what he said would be
used against him. The detectives so ad-
vised him. and he said he fully under
stood his rights.
During the time Macdonald has resided
In this city he has had employment in

Action Of Washington Gas
Company Directors.
NEW GEORGETOWN PLANT
Board Of Controlling Company In
dorses Proposed Financial Reor-
ganization and Bond Issue.

The board Of directors Of the Wash
ington Gas Light Company has passed
favorably upon the proposed financial
reorganization OF the Georgetown Gas
Light Company, 1t was stated on good
authority today.
This means the removal Of any pos
sible obstruction to the plan outlined
by the directors OF the Georgetown
company at their last meeting. 1t
means S5-cent gas for the people of
Georgetown instead Of gas at the rate
of $1,000 a thousand cubic feet. the
present price. after July /. or at any
rate. within a very short time. 1t
means the erection Of a new gas plant
for the Georgetown company. It
means a $1.O0O,000 bond issue by the
Georgetown company to take up Its
old certificates of Indebtedness and
floating debt, amounting to about
100000, and to erect the new plant.
And 1t means, eventually, the CONSOLE
dation OF the Georgetown and Wash
ington Gas Companies.
Plan Adopted.
John r. Mclean. president Of the
Washington Gas Light Company, has left
Washington to go to Europe. but before
he left, at a meeting of the board Of df-
rectors. the matter was carefully con-
sidered and the plan OF the board in
regard to the financial reorganization Of
the Georgetown company adopted. The
Washington company owns a controlling
interest in the Georgetown company and
must vote its stock at the meeting of the
stockholders in Georgetown June s.
In order that the people Of Georgetown
may purchase their gas at S5 cents a
thousand cubic feet in the near future 1t
is planned to buy the necessary gas from
the Washington company at about 40
cents a thousand feet. This practice will
be kept up until the new plant of the
Georgetown company is completed
Georgetown Company Stock.
There are only 5000 shares of stock Of
the Georgetown company, par value, SO.
The capitalization Of the company, there
fore. is but $15O.OOO. The company's field
is about 40 per cent of the District. q
very wide field. 1t Is said. compared with
the capitalization of the company 1t Is
expected that the new bonds issued by
the company will sell for at least no.
putting a premium of 100000 on the en-
tire bond issue Of S1OOO,OOO This, in
turn, puts a premium of about $166
on each share of stock The Washington
Gas Company, owning $3.50 shares of the
Georgetown company's stock, will imme-
diately realize, therefore, about SEC, 900.
which will be clear gain for the stock
holders Of the Washington company.

THREE JUDGES APPOINTED.
President Elevates Two Republicans
and One Democrat to Bench.

President Taft last evening announced
the nomination Of three judges to fill va
cancies in South Dakota, South Carolina
and New England.
James d. Elliott Of Aberdeen, 8. D., is
named district Judge regardless Of the
fact that his elevation to the federal
bench is In contravention to the platform
Of the republican state convention adopted
last year, which protested against the ap-
pointment OF railroad attorneys to the
bench.
Mr.. Elliott had the active support Of
Senators Gamble and Crawford, and he
was indorsed by the entire membership of
the South Dakota supreme court, by
practically all the state circuit judges and
by 70 per cent OF the practicing lawyers
Of the state. From 1897 to 1905 Mr..
Elliott served as United States attorney.
and last year he became general attorney
for the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
The other judicial appointments an
nounced by the President are: William
Schofeld Of Worcester county. Mass, to
be judge of the first circuit of New Eng
land. and Henry A. NJ. Smith of Charles
ton. S. c.. to be Judge OF the district
court in that state.
Mr.. Schofield is q Harvard graduate and
fifty-four years old. His roommate dur
ing the entire college course was Francis
Joseph Swayze. now Justice OF the New
Jersey supreme court, and the two stu
dents viewed seats on the bench as their
goal Mr.. Schof1eld was private secretary
to Associate Justice Horace Gray in 1888.
He was admitted to the bar in Boston in
1884, and for a while was an instructor
In law at Harvard. He has served in the
Massachusetts house of representatives,
and was appointed by w. Murray Crane.
then governor of Massachusetts, a Justice
Of the superior court Of that state
Mr.. Smith has practiced law in Charles
ton for more than thirty-fve years His
circumstances are such that the emolu-
ments Of the Office have no attraction for
him. but. at the suggestion Of the Presi-
dent. he consented to accept the appoint
mont. He succeeds Judge Brawley, re-
Gently retired on attaining his SEVENTEEN
birthday anniversary. Mr.. Smith is q
democrat.
The nomination Of Messrs Elliott, Scho-
field and Smith were sent 70 the Senate
this afternoon.

LAWYERS ARE CALLED
BY SENATE COMMITTEE

Allen & Graham, the New York attor-
neys who. it is said. have acted for the
National Grange in opposition to the
Canadian. reciprocity agreement, will be
summoned by the Senate finance commit
tee to appear before the committee next
Monday. This decision was reached by
the committee today on motion of Sena-
tor Stone. who had previously stated a
desire to find out lust who was behind
the fight on reciprocity.
Opposition a Privilege.
and Graham be subpoenaed to appear
with all the literature and correspondence
in their possession In connection with
their promotion Of opposition to the reel
procity bill. Senator Gallinger objected.
holding that any one who desired to do
so had a right to oppose the passage Of
the bill.
Attention was called to the fact that
N. P. Hull, master Of the Michigan State
Grange, who recently appeared before the
committee, had told the committee that
Messrs Allen and Graham would appear
voluntarily. Senator Stone at that time
withdrew the motion that they be sub
poenaed. but renewed 1t today. Teie-
grams were sent to the lawyers.
Paper manufacturers from various parts
Of the country app cared today before the
committee In opposition to reciprocity.
c. !. McNair Of CloQuet. Mimi, a
manufacturer OF news print paper. denied
that many of the paper mills of the
country are equipped with antiquated
machinery because Of the desire of the
International Paper Company to keep
production down and prices up. He also
asserted that the paper market was free
and open.
E. R. Brown. Of Watertown, N. Y. in
replying to a declaration by John Norris
of the American Newspaper Publishers
Association that he had not been able
to buy paper from certain concerns, said
that this was due to the fact that the
mills had regular customers. and could
not afford to sell to anybody or every
body who sought to purchase.

the Hospital Corps. Messer recognized
Macdonald when he saw him at the po-
lice station yesterday.
Nearly six years ago Macdonald was
discharged from the service at Fort Myer.
Va. It was about that time he met Miss
Gertrude Shaw. Their marriage took place
shc-.iv afterward
Rumor had 1t yesterday that Mrs. Mac
Donald had refused to go Sag Harbor,
N Y, with her husband. and that that re-
fusal brought about the fatality. The
statement Of the prisoner does not con-
meet such an incident with the shooting.
Il was on the job" he stated to De-
Detective Messer. leading them to believe
that he had found his wife in the Colo
RADIO building under conditions which he
did not approve.
But" said Detective Evans. "a subse-
makes 1t appear that he lured her there
for the purpose Of killing her. Why he
should have taken such a public place !
cannot understand"
his wife to meet him In the building by
telling her he had to get her signature
for $40 he said he was to receive from
his mothers estate. one-half Of which, he
had told her, he was going to give her.
Such informat tion 1t Is stated, was also
conveyed to the woman before she re-
turned here from New York. the CORE
spondence between husband and wife
having been carried on through a sister.
Not Known to Lawyers.
Mention was made by Macdonald of
the law firm of McNeill & McNeill. ninth
floor of the Colorado building. At the
office Of the firm 1t was said nothing
was known of Macdonald. The police
are satisfied that the prisoner invented
the story solely for the purpose of get
ting his wife where he could kill her.
The police are unable to understand
why Macdonald should have inveigled
her into meeting him at the Colorado
building, and why it was deemed neces-
sary for Mrs. M. A. Billop, her sister. to
accompany her.
Since her return from New York four
days ago, after a separation Of several
months, husband and wife were in the
Billop home at 928 l street. Tuesday
night they were in a summer garden
together. Yesterday they were at the
street house. not much more than thirty
minutes before the shooting occurred.
Mrs. Macdonald and Mrs. Bfllop went
from the homo to the Colorado building
together. Mrs. Macdonald had made an
engagement to meet her husband at the
building at 1:3O O'Clock.
"I used to be afraid Of Ed" Mrs. Mac
Donald said to her sister. while on the
way to the building. :! don't feel the
least bit afraid of him today"
Macdonald was waiting on the first
floor Of the building when his wife and

PRESDENT MAY Colin FAVOR OF PLAN NSLENT AS TO GRANT A1
Ecclesiastical Judges Saying
Nothing About Heresy Case.
RUMOR OF AN AGREEMENT
Presbyterian Commission Said to Be
Divided as to Expedience
Of Action.

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., May 25.-At'
tempts to learn from members of the
judicial commission Of the Presbyterian
General Assembly. which is reviewing the
heresy charges against DR.. Grant. what
action will be taken met with failure
1t Is rumored that the commission has
agreed on the facts, but is divided or
the question of expediency. 1t Is felt
by some that in view of the wide pub
iicity given the case DR.. Grant should
not be let off without some sort OF a re.
buke. 1t is believed that Dr. Grant will
be called before the commission and
asked to make further and clearer
statement as to his views.
If he can bring himself to say t,.---
denies no doctrinal points. but merely
differs on the translation and interpreta-
ton of some passages of Holy Scripture
the commission, one clergyman explained
could then make a report confirming the
action of the Northumberland presbytery
which acquitted DR.. Grant.
In statement Dr. Grant admits hav-
ing said some Of the remarkable things
attributed to him by witnesses at his
trial. but he declares that in every case
the context of his remarks would have
taken the edge off them "and removed
every trace of hereSy."
In regard to his declaration that Jesus
Mary, Martha and Lazarus danced and
sang a Bit on the night after Lazarus
resurrection from the dead, he explained
that he believed Jesus had many human
attributes and that naturally being full
of Joy at Lazarus coming to life they
celebrated the event in a mild way.
Ambitious Delegates Criticised.
Elder Thomas Kama of Chicago took
a fling at personal solicitation for berths
on the executive commission during the
morning, asking the judicial commission
to disregard the names OF every mar
who had sought the position.
His motion was declared out Of ordel
by Moderator Carson, but was followed
by q second motion, which was also de-
feated.
Thomas McCurdy of Philadelphia. An
drew Stevenson of Chicago. Jesse Forbe:
of New York and Judge Freeman of I'LL
nois were appointed.
The terms OF Rev. James Moffat, presi
dent of the Central College of Missouri
and William H. Black of Missouri ex
pired.
Mr. Black fathered the federation Of
| boards proposition, and Mr.. Mona
framed the supplementary resolution:
defeated yesterday.
Postponed for a Year.
The Otsego Prestytery presented ar
overture calling for the abolishmen
Of the assembly temperance commits
sion located at Pittsburg. declaring II
to be a needless expense and i'm.
practicable in it's workings. The com
mittee on bills and overtures carried
q motion to have the matter laid or
the table for a year.
The looked-for fight over the adoption
Of proposed intermediate catechism wa.
prevented by the action of the assembly
In putting 1t back in committee to b,
