UTILITIES BOARD PROBES
DEAL OF GAS COMPANIES
Investigation to Ascertain Con-
nection Between the Two
Local Concerns.

That an investigation by the public util-
tiles commission of the relation between
the Washington and Georgetown gas light
companies has been under way several
weeks became known today, following
the passage by the Senate yesterday of a
resolution calling upon the District Com
missioners for information as to what
steps they have taken, in accordance with
requirements of the anti-merger law. to
bring about a dissolution of the connec-
ton between the two lighting corpora
tons.
which is alleged to own majority of the
stock of the Georgetown company, al
ready has filed with the commission, in
response to a request made by that body.
list of the stocks and bonds 1t owns. &C
cording to announcements made today.
The information contained in the report
has not been made public.
Just how far the commissioners have
proceeded with their investigation of two
companies is matter the District heads
will not discuss prior to making report
to Congress.
Directed at Gas Companies.
The clause in the anti-merger law re-
ferred to does not call the corporations by
name, but provides that it shall be un-
lawful for any local gas company, among
other corporations. to directly or indirect
ly own, hold or vote the stocks or bonds
of any public utility corporation author
lied to do business in the District.
Only since the present board of Com
missioners has been in office has the per-
sonnet of the public utilities commission
been complete. That body has disposed OF
a number Of important matters involving
application for approval of bond issue
plans. 1t is conceded that investigation OF
the two gas light companies looking To-
ward dissolution of any relation found TO
exist between them necessarily will con-
sumo much time.
The utilities commission, it was learn
ed today, has received from practically
all local corporations list Of the stocks
and bonds owned by them. The commits
sion will give a hearing September II on
the application of the Baltimore and
Ocean City Railway Company 1or
authority to issue $119.3O0 worth OF
stock in order that it may take over and
improve the railway line extending from
the 18th street railway terminal to Ia
koma Park. The date originally set for
the hearing was September 10.

The train holdup itself was of the

usual slurs about fat men.
The captain discovered that he had

sharks. They grinned and moved,
and flicked water on him until he was
yoaded to desperation and beyond. II
Captain Clarke did draw his knife
and slit the impertinent noses of ever
so many Of his tormentors one must
allow that they brought 1t upon them

A native who was batting about the
bay In a cayuca saw what Captain
Clarke was doing and had compassion
IN the sharks. He put out to restrain

was to get hold of Clarke and take

captain a paddle and reminded him of

Mexico Is Uncertain as to What Ac.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Mexico City.-In a formal note 70
the foreign diplomats, General Huerta,
after calling attention to the efforts
he has made to pacify the country and
dwelling at length upon his reasons
for dissolving Congress, makes the d.
rect statement that the newly elected
Congress will be installed within few
days and will pass upon the elections
OF the president and vice president.
General Huerta reminds the diplo-
mats that prior to the elections he
told them that neither he nor General
Banquet would accept an election on
the ground that his own election would
be illegal, and he calls to the atten-
ton of the diplomatic representatives
TO the conference which he had with the
presidential candidates, at which he
obtained their promise to abide by the
result of the elections, even should
No one obtain the necessary number
of votes.
That the relations between the coun-
try and the United States are strained
almost to the point of war is realized,
but there is perhaps no man in the en-
tire republic who knows what Wash
ington will do.
John Lind himself, who represents
the president of the United States, is
ignorant of the intentions of his chief
and if General Huerta is anxious at all
regarding what may develop he does
not betray it. Although he has sent to
the diplomatic representatives of the
foreign nations a note which in effect
is a defiance Of Washington, he was
conspicuous in the cafes about town
long after the midnight hour and in
dulged in relaxation in the company
of his military friends.
