MERGER PLANS WAIT
Virginia Commission Must
Pass on Union of Utilities.
PETITION IS PRESENTED
Opposition to Amalgamation Of Pub
lie Service Companies Voiced.
MATTER UNDER AMUSEMENT
Should State Body o. X. $50, ZOO, 900
Will Take Hand, It Is Believed.

There will be no further DEVELOPMENTS
in the carrying out of the plan of the
new Observation-Disclosures Maryland Vir-
gfnia Railway Company for the amalga-
nation OF certain public utilities concerns
operating in the District of Columbia, r.
ginia and Maryland. 1t is expected. until
the corporation commission of Virginia
has decided whether the Braddock Light
and Power Company and the Arlington
Electric Company may merge in the big
holding corporation.
The amalgamation petition of the two
latter concerns was presented to the COM
mission in Richmond, Va, yesterday after
noon and taken under advisement by that
body. Opposition to the merger was
expressed by Attorney Leo p. Harlow,
representing the Alexandria County
Lighting Company, which owns forty
three shares Of the stock of the Airing
ton Electric Company. Mr. Harlow con-
tended that, inasmuch as the companies
proposed to be brought together are not
engaged In the same kind of business,
they cannot be merged under the Vir-
ginia law.
Other Steps to Follow.
Should the commissions decision, which
is expected this week, be favorable to
the petitioners, it is expected that steps
will be taken at once looking toward
bringing into the fold the amalgamated
interests the Washington Railway and
Electric Company and Washington-Vir-
ginia Railway Company Of this city.
In the event the legal steps now being
taken to prevent the carrying out of the
merger plans fail 1t is believed to be al
most certain that District of Columbia
authorities will take hand ia the mat
ter. The Office of the corporation counsel
of the District has been making a study
OF the question for some time.
Opinion Of Stephens.
1t was pointed out by Assistant Corpo-
ration Counsel Francis II. Stephens in
an interview published in The Star last
month that there appears to be an anal
Ogy between the proposed merger and
the Northern Securities case, in that the
combination would, In his opinion. be a
violation of the Sherman antitrust law.
Mr.. Stephens at the time stated that he
believed the Attorney General OF the
United States could at once proceed to
prevent the proposed amalgamation,
even befors the organization plans are
completed.
1t is said that the District Commission
ers are considering introducing an
amendment to the public utilities bill.
which failed to pass at the last session,
providing that no public utilities COM
pany, engaged in business in the Dis
trict of Columbia. may acquire the stock
of another company without obtaining
the consent OF the proposed public utili-
ties commission. u
Also, it Is said, the Commissioners may
ask Congress tbs provide legislation
whereby a stock broker may not be
director in any District utilities corpora
ton.

ROME, October 19.-The Able Gasquet
has returned to the splendid Benedic-
tine house of ST. Anselmo. on the Aven-
tine Hill, to start his winters work on
the great translation of the Vulgate.
The able has been received by the
Pope, to whom he gave a full explana-
ton of the progress made during last
year in the wonderful work of collating
the different ancient manuscripts.
When the colossal task was begun
five years ago the Able Gasquet told
his holiness that outstanding the
fact that an immense amount of work
would be an unpaid labor of love on the
part of Learned Benedictines, they
would yet be out of pocket. The ex-
penses of travelling in order to see the
old manuscripts in all parts of the
world and for photographing the differ
ent versions in order that they might
all be compared would be very consid-
cradle, probably more than 5000 a
year.

GUNS TO ARM TURKS
PURCHASED IN ENGLAND
Steamer With Munitions of
War Worth $2,500,0O0
Slips Out of Port.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

SpeCiaA SdOIe&Tdm W StdT.
LONDON, October 19.-That a large
steamer recently left a port in the north
Of England. loaded with field guns. rifles,
and ammunition worth 81, 800, 600, her des-
tination being Constantinople. has just
become known. 1t is the biggest gun
running enterprise of it's kind on record
The vessel itse.f is worth between $780,
600 and $4,000. and both vessel and
cargo are making an extremely risky
trip. Turkey is now at war with the
Balkan states and Greece.
The insurance premium demanded for
the vessel was over 80 per cent. so
great is the danger that she will be cap
tured by Turkeys enemies. OF course,
she sailed secretly, as the British author
tiles would have stopped her under the
neutrality laws if they had got wind of
the enterprise.
Tells of Purchases.
From man who assisted in fitting
out the vessel the following informa ton
was obtained:
'Of course he said, Il cannot men
ton names. but what happened was this:
An agent Of the Turkish government ar
rived in England few days ago and
approached a certain big Arm in the
north, telling them that he wanted to
buy ship and load her with arms and
ammunition. The firm bought the ship
for him and berthed her in one of their
private yards. Meanwhile the agent
bought field guns, thousands of rifles
and millions Of rounds of cartridges.
THAT was an easy matter. All he had
to do was to place the orders, and all
the makers cared about was seeing that
the agents money was all right before
delivering the goods at the appointed
place. I do not know the precise number
Of arms. but assuming that the rifles
alone numbered only $1,000. they would
is the cost of the field guns and the am
munition. which could easily bring the
total up to $2,JOO,OOO.
Struggled Aboard.
Having obtained the goods, the diff
Guilty was to load them on the ship with
out arousing suspicion. That was done
by packing the guns and rifles in wooden
cases and marking them machinery or
some other peaceful product You will re-
member that during the South African
war the Beers received any number Of
guns in innocent-looking piano cases.
1.-THE vessel being loaded with NUM-
tions Of war and also possibly with a
general cargo to disarm all suspicion, the
agent then went to Well known firm OF
marine insurance brokers in London and
told them he wanted to insure the ves-
sci. They accepted the business, and in
two days the insurance was effected and
the agent handed over a check to the
underwriters, paying $500. 80 for every
$500 for which he insured the vessel and
also a commission of per cent on the
total transaction to the insurance
brokers'.

through some very big business, but this
was the biggest transaction they have
ever had. 1t meant clear profit to them

The Able Gasquet replied that his
American friends had certainly been most
