Mr. Bryan at this time. particularly on
an occasion where M. Bryan Is down 10

affair Isl scheduled to be OF the love-feast
variety. The House majority leader and
the Nebraslzan are on very poor terms

Mr.. Underwood was the real choice of

Senator Bristow says he viii urge the
passage Of the bill. because he believes
that it Is useless to provide for any in
land water transportation system and
permit the railroads TO own the steam
boat lines that are to use this inland
waterway system. thereby controlling
their own water competitors.
Senator Bristow also introduced a bill
authorizing the government to acquire
fifteen steamships TO be used In the es-
Enlistment OF commercial lines between
the west coasts OF Central ana South
America and the east and west coasts
OF the United States, TO be operated
through the canal.

try, but II II appears the ships cannot
be purchased or built IN Inis country at a
cost not to exceed 20 per cent greater
than In another country, then the Secre-
tary OF War Is authorized to acquire
them abroad. Senator Bristow believes
that the railroads through their banking
houses and IN other ways control prac-
tically every shipbuildinE concern IN the
United States. SO that ships to be buiIt
for the purpose OF competing with the
railroads cannot be had In this country
at any reasonable figure, so he inserted

Taft COmmIssion Large.
This commission was created at the
White House as secretary TO the eresi-

then, but It soon began to expand, and
now 1t occupies a whole floor in a local
office building and has branches in every

Following the tragic death Of seven

bathroom Of her home at 1910 Massachu-
sets avenue Tuesday night and the ap-
peal yesterday Of Representatives Austin,
OF Tennessee, and Campbell. OF Kansas,
TO prevent the sale in the District Of gas
heaters which form deadIy monoxide gas.
the following statement vas given out
last night by Joseph Letter. president of
the Washington Gaslight Company:
The Washington Gaslight Company
cannot be held responsible for installation
beyond its control OF appliances for the
use Of its product.
The installation of heaters without
ventilation is no more TO be desired than
coal fire built in a room without a
chimney to get rid OF the. products Of
combustion would be tolerated.
VIII Make Inspection.
In view Of remedying defects which
might be apparent on inspection, a COM
munication is in process of being sent
out to the eompany's patrons. This viii
be followed by an inspection Of the ap-
paratus in use in each consumers prem

The gas manufactured by this COM
pany averages about 3 per cent Of car
bon monoxide. It would be possible to
lower this percentage by Increasing the
cost Of production The public demand
has been so general and insistent for a
reduction in price that the company has
been forced to maintain this percentage,
which has continued for a number Of
years.

holders of the company would demand a
fair Investigation OF all circumstances at
tendant before the passing OF judgment

Extend Commissioners, Powers.

Senator Gallinger. chairman of the Sen
ate District Committee, yesterday intro
duced bill giving the Commissioners
authority to order street extensions and
improvements without obtaining the en-
actment of special bills by Congress, as
at present. About a week ago the Com
missioners transmitted a report to Sena-
tor Gallinger, urging the enactment OF
the law. The District officials contend
that the present system of requiring a
special bill for each street improvement
causes much delay and red tape. Mr..
GalIinger also introduced q bill provid-
ing for the termination OF the lease of
the District fish wharf to William W.
Riley. The Senator read a letter from
the District Commissioners urging the
passage of the bill because of the fact
that Mr.. Riley is said to have violated
the health regulations repeatedly.
