FORMER U. S. ENVOY
TO RUSSIA CRITICAL
George T. Marye, "a, Has Small
Chance Of Recovery as
Health Fails.

George T. Marye, "a, who was United
States Ambassador to Imperial Russia
to within a few months Of the abdica-
tion of Gear Nicholas, is in critical
condition at his home, 1900 N street.
The former diplomat has been in failing
health for the past year and little hope
is held for his recovery.
Mr.. Marye had maintained home in
Washington for the past 80 years,
spending almost every Winter here.
His other home was in Burlingame,
Calf.
Born in Baltimore in 1849, he Is the
youngest son Of George Thomas Marye,
of pioneer Virginia stock of French
Huguenot descent, and Of Helen Tucker
Marye, daughter of one of Baltimoreis
foremost business men.
Treasured highest among his memo

GAS MERGER LEFT
FOR SENATE ACTION
House Committee Will Take
No More Steps Until
That Time.

Unless the Senate passes the bill
authorizing merger of the Washington
and Georgetown Gas Light Co.'S, the
House District Committe, it was
announced today, will make no further
effort to get House approval Of the
measure at the special session Of Con-
gress.
Twice Chairman Norton Of the House
Committee made attempts to have her
group make favorable report on the
bill, but each time action was blocked
by several new members who declared
they desired more time to study the
various provisions. She now believes
1t would be futile to seek House approval
in the few remaining weeks Of the
special session.
Rests With Senate.
However, If the Senate should pass
the bill in the near future, Chairman
Norton said she would again attempt
to get her committee to have the
measure placed on the House calendar.
Mrs. Norton hoped to get House ap-
proval of the bill at the special ses-
sion because she considered 1t emer-
gency legislation.
Gas company officials had told her
that the merger would result in the
employment of between 200 and 500
additional men. Several members of
her committee take an opposite view.
They believe the merger would lead
to consolidation of the forces of the
Washington and Georgetown companies
and probable reduction in personnel.
Died at Last Session.
The merger bill died on the Senate
calendar in the last Congress after
passing the House without opposition.
The chief opponent in the Senate was
the late Senator Howell of Nebraska,
who wanted the measure amended to
prevent the use of going concern" as
an element Of value for rate making
purposes.
Richmond B. Keech, peoples coun-
sci before the Public Utilities Commits
sion, sought to have the Subcommittee
on Public Utilities Of the House Dis
trict Committee include such an
amendment in the new bill. but failed.
