New Legislation.

Essential factors in any new trust
legislation to be passed by Congress
were suggested to the Senate committee
on interstate commerce today by Eugene
G. Hay. q Minneapolis attorney. now

that the directors Of corporation be
prohibited from serving as directors OF
competing corporations; that the capital
they are permitted to operate In inter-
state commences: that no trade agree

with free and open competition, and
that directors OF corporations must be

WATER RATE HEARING
DEPENDS ON REQUESTS
District Commissioners May
Await Sufficient Number,
Is Belief.

That the District Commissioners will
not grant hearing on the new water
rates until they have received what
they consider a sufficient number of
| requests is believed 80 be indicated
by the responses they have made to
citizens associations that already have
asked to be heard on the subject
Recently the Commissioners in a let
ter to the Rhode Island Avenue Sub
urban Citizens Association indicated
that they would not be averse to grant
| ing hearing on the new rates, which
are to go into effect July 1 next
Today. replying to a request from
the Northeast Washington Citizens As
ISOLATION that 1t be given a hearing,
the Commissioners stated that it is
probable a hearing on the matter will
be granted. as similar requests have
been received from other associations,
and that If any hearing is held the
notice of the date would be given in
due time.
May Hold Joint Hearing.
That hearing. If held. will. be in
the nature Of joint affair. so that the
representatives Of all associations that
have voiced a protest against the new
rates can express their views at the
same time, is believed to be assured
by persons who have kept closely in
touch with the situation.
The Rhode Island Avenue Suburban
Association probably is more responsible
than any other for the decision of the
Commissioners to grant a hearing. This
association was promised hearing be-
fore the rates were ordered, but the Dis
trict heads overlooked the matter and
failed to grant it.
After the rates were ordered, Commits
sioner Rudolph being the only member to
vote against them, the Rhode Island Ave-
nue. Suburban Association reminded the
District heads of their promise to grant
a hearing The association was sent a
lengthy communication. in which regret
was expressed that the promise had been
overlooked.

MINNIE BUTTONS HOME
NOT PROPER SHELTER
Smallest House in Washington,
Regarded as Insanitary,
to Be Destroyed.

The smallest house In Washipgton-a
structure about the size Of piano box.
and located in the fashionable northwest
section Of the city-has come under the
ban of the board for the condemnation
Of insanitary buildings.
It's occupant Minnie Buttons. an East
Indian, who has sold newspapers In
Washington for several years. and at
tracted attention by refusing to conform
to any standard of dress. appearing at
times In male attire, has been told that
she must find new home.
The board Of charities has taken the
mater under consideration, and ii is
probable that the Home for the Aged and
Infirm at Blue Plains will be selected as
a permanent habitation for the evicted
woman, who is now nearly seventy years
Of age.
Confronted by Woman's Face.
Several days ago Roy E. Haynes, Sec
rotary of the board for the condemnation
of insanitary buildings. noticed what re-
sembled q piano box on the vacant lot
at lilo 18th street northwest. He de-
cided to examine the structure and, while
making survey Of it from the outside.
was startled when one Of the paneis sud
appeared.
The woman was Minnie. and at that
particular moment she was engaged in
consuming a piece of apple pie as part
of her breakfast To Mr.. Haynes
queries she responded that she had been
living in the house since last April; that
she was pleased with the neishborhood.
and. as far as she knew. her neignoors
were not averse to having her there.
Mr.. Haynes Immediately took the mat
ter up with officials of the District. 1t
was decided that the building should go.
but what to do with Minnie is a problem
that remains to be worked out
Wants to Retain Her Home.
II hope / won't be asked to leave
here" said Minnie today. when Mr..
Haynes paid a second visit to her home.
Its a healthy way to live and enjoy
it. At night can count the stars through
the cracks in the roof, but il is Disagree

The house is of the timSieSt construc-

At the time of her coming to Washing

attIred as a woman. she attracted atten-
ton by wearing a skirt that was covered
with buttons of every shape and color.
Since then she has been known as Min
ME Buttons.
In Male Attire Two Years.
For two years the woman wore male
attire and doubtless few. IL any. Of the
hundreds of persons who bought news
papers from her suspected that she was
not a man. When she took up her resi-
dence in 10th street last April she went
back to the dress Of her sex.
