Conference at Capital De-
scribed as Most Satisfac-
tory One Held So Far.
COMPROMISE REACHED,
BILL TO BE REDRAFTED
Prospective Line Selected Is Sim
plest for Policing Purposes,
Planning Official Says.

The solution of the District Of Co.
lumbia boundary line on the Virginia
side of the Potomac River is in sight,
Thomas S. Settle, secretary of the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, announced today, following a
conference Of representatives of varied
interests, held yesterday at the Cap
itol. As a compromise, the high-water
mark Of 1882 is to be taken southwark
from the District line, above Little Falls,
TO the Highway Bridge. From there,
the District boundary Is to run from
headland to headland, until the pier
head line of Alexandria, Va, Is reached.
Then, to avoid having the District line
snake in and out along the Alexandria
water front, the westerly terminus Of
the District will follow the pierhead line
Of Alexandria until it intersects the
D. c. boundary line on the south, near
Jones Point.
Further conference will be held with
Attorney General William D. Mitchell,
Representative Smith, Democrat, Of
Virginia, author of the pending bound
ary measure, and other interested
groups.
Mr.. Settle characterized yesterdays
gathering as "the most satisfactory
conference we have had and 1t looks
ike we are getting together on common
ground"
Bill to Be Redrafted.
As now visualized by the commissions
secretary, the Smith bill will be re-
drafted to embody the latest compro-
mise, and later the FEDERAL Government
will give quitclaim deeds to the dis
puted property on the Virginia side Of
the Potomac River, embodying in the
land titles proper restrictions as to the
use of the property. Those property
owners not satisfied with quitclaim
deeds may test out their disputes in
the courts.
Amendments to the Smith bill will
be drafted shortly and further confer
ences by the special group, representa-
tive of the divergent interests involved,
will be held.
Simplest for Policing Purposes.
The prospective District boundary
line chosen by yesterdays conferees,
Mr.. Settle explained, is the simplest
lines for policing purposes, marking out
the Jurisdiction of the Districts harbor
police.
The old 1891 high-water mark, which
has been viewed in the courts as the
westerly boundary of the District, Is too
indefinite now, Mr.. Settle asserted. As
a compromise the high-yater mark Of
1892 has been adopted as the most
practical and simple, with the variation
to the southwark.

Arthur Dean Spends Two
Hours With Public UtiIi-
ties Commission.
STOCKHOLDERS MEETING
ADJOURNMENT FORECAST
Attorney Seeks Ruling on Whether
Directors Can Convene to Elect
/ New Company President.

A two-hour conference that is ex-
pected to have an important bearing
on future developments in the muddled
situation of Washington Gas Light Co.
was held today between the Public
Utilities Commission and Arthur Dean,
member of the firm Of Sullivan &
Cromwell of New York, legal representa-
tives of the interests controlling the
company.
The purpose of the conference was
not disclosed, but it took on added
significance in view of the fact that
it was held just "a hours in advance
of scheduled meetings of the stock
holders and the board of directors of
the gas company.
Dean told newspaper men after the
conference that he had just dropped
in on the commission "for a friendly
chat" and to see if he could arrange
for the directors meeting to be held
tomorrow and still keep within the
commissions recent order forbidding
the voting Of the majority stock while
It is held by the present owners. He
said he would return later this after
noon for a further conference and that
q decision would then be made whether
the directors meeting would be held.
Denies Payment Rumor.
The meeting of the directors had been
called for 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
to elect successor to George A. G..
Wood, who resigned as president of the
gas company last Thursday few hours
after reports reached the Utilities Com
mission that out-of-town interests con-
trolling the concern were planning to
oust him.
Dean denied rumors that Wood had
been paid $4,000 to quit the gas
company. He declared Wood had been
paid one months salary and further
sum by other interests, but that he
had been bound in confidence not to
reveal the latter amount.
Dean also denied that the reason for
Woods removal was the reduction in
gas rates proposed by him. Owners of
the company, Dean declared, had been
100 per cent in favor Of the rate re-
duction." In this connection he took
direct issue with the finding of the fact
by the commission that the Chase.
Harris. Forbes Corporation of New York
had delayed the reduction for several
months.
Dean said he had been "enjoined"
from interfering with the management
OF the gas company, but predicted there
would be no general shakeup in per-
sonnel.
Forecasts Adjournment.
While the meeting of the board of
directors is doubtful. Dean said the
session Of the stockholders would again
be adjourned. The original meeting Of
the stockholders was called 10 days
ago and adjourned because of the lack
OF a quorum.
There has been no definite indica-
ton as to whom the directors will name
to succeeded Wood should the meeting
be held. Robert D. Weaver, president
of the Georgetown Gas Light Co.;
George B. Frazer, vice president of the
Washington Co., and Wilton j. Lam
bert, general counsel for the two COM
panies, have been prominently men
toned.
The directors also had planned to
select a successor to Anthony Hyde,
who served for several years as assistant
to Wood. Hyde, it was learned, left
the employ Of the gas company, simul-
taneously with Wood.

wages ARE forced to $3.50 and So q
day" and Indiana and Illinois follow

Pennsylvania and Ohio went to such
un-American wage scales as are paid
in certain regions Of these Southern
States" 100000 tons now marketed
