onS lie understood. however, the i'm
possibility Of the immediate compile
ion of the legislation necessary to
make effective the reciprocity agree
nent between the United States and

be ample time for consideration.
The secretarys expression was in re-
,iS TO a request that the colonial Of
Ice suggest that the Canadian govern
nent postpone ratification OF the
.Sreement until the imperial confer
ince had been held
The official opposition s amendment to
he address i'll reply to the speech from
lac throne urging fiscal reform, with
.peciai reference to the proposed Amer
ran-Canadian tariff agreement was
moved by Austen Chamberlain before a
roUded house today.
The message from ". :. Fielding, the

'eciprocity arrangement. was published
his morning and took some wind out of
le sails of the unionists' craft. How
Yer. should the nationalists abstain from

margin of victory probably would be
mail. The debate is likely TO occupy two

CUMBERLAND. Md. February s.-The

taken another turn with the exhuming
of the bodies and the sending away of
parts for chemical analysis The body
Of Grace Elosser. which reposed In Rose
Hill cemetery. Cumberland, was taken

Kayser w. Va. yesterday afte. noo.. The
arteries that retained the blood the
longest were included in the pc. lions of
the anatomy taken from the bed es. The
yiscera was not sent. as the aldehyde
used in ernbalming had put 1t in sub a
cooked state as to make 1t useless in the
investigation
The parts of one of the bodies were
sent to Johns Hopkins, Baltimore. and
the other to an institution in Pni.a-
delphia. The analyses will be conducted
depandently and the findings will then
be compared to see If they agree as to

GAS COMPANY'S RIGHT
TO DEAL: IN FIXTURES
Local Appliance Dealers to
Make Test Case Based on
Terms of Charter.

The Washington Gas Light Company, if
it carries out its expressed purpose to es-
taolsh commercial department and
engage in the business of selling gas
appliances, is to be brought into court
on the charge OF violating the terms OF
its charter.
| beaiefs IN gas fittings and fixtures as
sembied this morning to protest against
the proposed invasion Of the field by the
W ashington Gas Light Company, discussed
the situation, considered the prospects OF
damaging competition in the light of con-
d1t1ons IN other cities and appointed
committee of five to draw up resolutions
| of protest. and which are to express the
determination of the dealers to test in
the courts the right of the gas company
to engage in such business.
The committee is composed of w r.
Bailey, {. A. Muddiman, Henry r. DAVIS
Thorne and S. S. Shedd. The committee
is meeting this afternoon in the offices
Of Mr.. Davis in the Jenifer building.
Urged to Make Test.
Mr.. Davis. at this mornings meeting,
called attention to the conditions of the
charter Of the public utilities corpora
ton, and urged that the gas company
be advised that it could not proceed with
its purpose to compete with dealers III
gas appliances without a test III court.
Samuel Ross Of Barber & Ross, 18th
and G streets, suggested that the Cham
Der of Commerce and the Board of Trade
be appealed to to take up the matter.
MI Ross presided over the meeting
&. A. Muddiman of G.. A. Muddiman n
Co. said that the proposed Industrial de-
partment of the gas company was an
imposition upon dealers. who for twenty
five years past have been building up
the trade in gas appliances He told OF
the great difficulty encounter. years ago
in educating the public, and claimed the
credit for the dealers that appliances
were so largely in use at this time.
Conditions in Baltimore.
Mr.. Muddiman, calling attention to the
fact that there is no organization OF
dealers in gas appliances, and that the
purpose of the present meeting is to work
collectively for individual interest, told OF
a similar situation eighteen years ago,
when the gas company yielded TO per-
suasion and kept out of the side business.
Conditions in Baltimore. where the gas
were explained by him. The elimination
Of the dealers had resulted, he said.
That the dealers prove to the gas COM
pany that the dealers would sell more
appliances for them than they could do
for themselves through q commercial
department was suggested by w. f.
Bailey. representing the Washington Gas
Appliance Company.
