ed an amendment to the charter of the

changing its name to the Washington
Utilities Company, with an authorized
capital of $,0, ,000.000. Gardner l.. BooIhe

early this morning. and the commission
ers at once took up the matter The APP
pication was in due form. and every
condition and requirement of the law was
complied with, and the formal order was
entered authorizing the amendments.
Mr.. Boothe stated that the Washington
Utilities Company, whose promoters own
the Washington-Virgini Railway Com
pany, would most likely effect a CONSOLE
dation, and also that the Washington
Utilities Company would be a sort of
holding company.
When asked if the Washington Utilities
Company would not seek to combine all
the properties of the several companies
which have been figuring for some time
in court proceedings, he replied that he
did not think that there would be any
merging of properties, adding that the
new company owned the Washington-Vir-
ginia company and considerable stock
in the Arlington Light Company"

Will Carry the State

ST. PAUL, Mimi, November 7.-Minne-
sofa apparently has swung from Wilson
to Roosevelt, and the colonel probably
will carry the state by about 1900.
Roosevelt found his greatest strength in
the rural districts. The vote complete
from 1,Ss0 of the 1863 precincts, in
Guiding those in Hennepin and Ramsey
counties, shows Roosevelt received 81 1856:
Wilson, S4,117: Taft, 30. 100. Roosevelt in
the canvass of VOTES is gaining an aver
age of seven and one-half votes precinct
on Wilson i'm the county.
Gov. Eberhart has been reelected by a
plurality ranging from 10000 to 10000,
The election of the entire republican state
ticket is practically assured.
Senator Knute Nelson is leading all the
republican state candidates. Returns from
about two-thirds of the precincts indicate
that his majority over Dan w. Lawler
will be about $4,000. Ringdahl is leading
the democratic ticket.
II is not probable that President Tafts
vote in Minnesota will greatly exceed
$4,000.

Chance for Local Utilities.

When informed this afternoon of the
action of the Virginia corporation COM
mission in allowing the charter amend
ment applied for, William B. Hibbs, one
of the Washington promoters of the gil
gantic holding company, stated that if
local utilities concerns desire to make a
financing vehicle of the corporation they
may now do so, to the end of rendering
better service to the public than they
have had the facilities for heretofore.
But there will be no attempt at co.
ercion, he said. 1t will be up to the local
corporations to decide whether they want
to take advantage of the situation. The
holding company has been made large
enough to meet any demand of this ma
ture that may be made upon 1t, he pointed
out.
Mr.. Hibbs confirmed the statement pub
lished several weeks ago in The Star to
the effect that, absorption by the hold
ing company of the Washington-V Virginia
Railway Company probably would be fol-
lowed by numerous improvements in the
service rendered by the latter concern.

Improvements Along the Line.

The company's line will be completely
double-tracked from Washington to
Vienna, he said, while lighting service
will be provided for Fairfax and probably
other Virginia towns, il the railway conf
pany is taken over by the fifty-million-
dollar corporation.
Mr.. Hibbs said that if the Washington
Railway and Electric Company should be-
come a part of the system free transfers
would, in all probability, be issued be-
tween the lines of that company and the
Washington-Virginia company, while
various other improvements doubtless
would follow.
1t is not known on what basis the stock
of the Washing tom Virginia company will
be traded for the securities of the new
corporation. MIR. Hibbes said that the
details of the transaction would be made
public when the Virginia corporation COM
mission is asked 10 approve the consoli-
dation

As to Vaccination
Editor Republican:

Editor Republican,
 h behalf of the many in this city who op posed to vaccination l request you to reprint the following extract from the December issue of "Medi- cal Freedom" Referring to vaccination it says:
 Tn this connection it is well to call to mind the following facts given by MT John Pitcairn in his able article on vaccination published in the Ladies Home Journal:
 Tn Philadelphia and vicinity there were in the autumn of 1901 fewer than thrty-SX of tetanus, lockjaw, which admitted resulted from vaccination, and nearly all were fatal After study of these and fifty-nne similar cases prominent Philadelphia physician and professor him self ardent believer in vaccination arrived the conclusion that neither careless dressing of the wound nor infection from a foreign source could count for these of Iockjaw following vaccina tion; for he pointed out, had occurred not only among ignorant and filthy, but also and equally Among those who lived under the favor able conditions and where the utmost precau- tionS had been taken. He concluded therefore that the danger lay in the virus itself. Then, ignoring the fact that the virus is nothing but the matter running diseased sores he recommended greater in its preparation.
 The National League Medical Freedom it should be remembered, does oppose vaccination per What it does oppose is the forcing of vacc nation upon those who opposed to it in the pres of widespread disagreement upon the human system.
 Many physicians and scientific investigators of wide superintendent like Professor Charles Creigh- ton Professor CrOokshank and Alfred Russel Wal lace oppose vaccination the following grounds:
 T. That it does not prevent smallpox. This proposition they substantate with exhaustive statis tical data.
 70, That it is often fruitful cause of the dis Scmination of smallpox.
 B. That it is of the of lOckjaW, which often after the has been taken prevent infection.
 A. That il is the means of conveying to other wise healthy bodies many of the most loathsOme dis known civilization
 50 impressive was the presentation of the above before the Royal Commission of England, that after exhaustive investigation of the whole ques ton few years ago, the government refused longer to compel those who opposed vaccination to submit he doctors demands"
