ORGANIC ACIGETS
EARRING in HOUSE
Committee Also Would Re-
woke Charter of Market
Company.
OUTCOME IS IMPORTANT
Interpretation of Half-and-Half Plan
May Affect District ApprO-
priaton Bill.

Two bills-one withdrawing from the
provisions OF the half-and-half plan about
A'OOo,ooo of District revenues; the other
Market Company-were reported out al
the first meeting of the House District
Committee yesterday.
These, together with the Prouty joint
resolution, directing the payment from
District funds of 81, ,O0S, PSI, "a. said to be
due the United States for moneys ad-
vanced to the District, probably will be
before the House on Monday, the first
District day of the new session. Repre-
sentative Prouty's resolution has been on
the calendar for some time.
Involves HaIf-and-HaIG Plan.
Perhaps TO a greater extent than in
either Of the two bills, the Prouty reso-
luton involves the half-and-half prin-
ciple OF appropriations. The money is
claimed to have been advanced to pay
the interest on the 3.65 bonds of the Dis
trict. District Auditor Tweedale is said
to have declared that One-half of the
amount is due the District but that the
half-and-half clause of the act Of 1873
contemplated that the United States
should bear half of the interest payments
on the funded debt, and that the $,003,-
25Z24 includes the Districts half. as
well as the half due from the United
States. This will bring about an inter
probation of the organic act, which may
be OF vital Importance when the Dis
trict appropriation bill is before the
House.
The bill revoking the charter of the
Washington Market Company and rein
vesting the United States with title 10
the property, was framed as the result
of charges that the market company is
not living up to its charter, having aTbi-
trarily reduced its rent from SIS, 900 to
$500, the while charging the District
National Guard 5000 a year for the
upper floor of some of the buildings.
Meeting Well Attended.
The other bill withdraws from the pro-
visions of the half-and-halT clause all
revenues received from liquor licenses, all
revenues from real estate held jointly by
the District and the United States, and
all revenues from the Highway bridge.
The meeting yesterday was well at
tended. and the members displayed an
encouraging disposition to get to work.
The Prouty bill containing a new code of
insurance laws for the District, an out
growth of the recent Congressional in
yestigation into the operations of two
local insurance companies was discussed,
and seems pointed for an early report.
The committee determined to change
the weekly meeting day from Friday to
Tuesday, and the hour from 1850 o'clock
to o'clock, in view Of the crowded con-
dition OF the District calendar.
The Senate District Committee did not
meet yesterday, and probably will not
meet until after the currency bill has
been disposed of in the Senate. p

LOUIS BRANDEIS ATTENDS
Samuel Untermyer Also Present-At-

of Boston. and Samuel Untermyer, of
New York.
The appearance OF Mr.. Untermyer and
Mr.. Brandeis I'm Washington at this time
with ideas for antitrust legislation imme-
diately aroused considerable interest. but
an investigation showed that these two
lawyers were in no wise acting in behalf
of the administration, and that the sug-

merely their individual views

gram, when Ii comes time for disappear

and not from outside sources Attorney
General McReynolds will be President
Wilson's chief adviser in the matter Of
antitrust legislation.
Views Are Conservative.
Mr.. McReynolds has conservative views
In regard TO legislation supplementing the
antitrust law, and the belief is growing
that the recommendations he will advo-
cate will be strictly within the charac-
terization contained in the Presidents re-
cent message. which declared this Iegisla-
ton should be directed toward clearing
up the area of doubt which has harassed
business men of the country.
The views of both Mr.. Brandeis and
Mr.. Untermyer on antitrust legislation
are well known In Washington. and have
been considered by other committees Of
Congress.
There is good reason to believe that
the Presidents message on the subject
Of corporations will not be submitted
to Congress until after the holidays. In
the meantime, the House Judiciary Com
mittee will proceed with hearings on the
subject There already are thirty or
forty bills on this subject pending before
the committee, some OF which have been
introduced by Representative Henry.
The judiciary Committee will proceed
at first with the consideration of a meas
ure relating to interlocking direc;orates
