CAPPER PRESENTS
NEW ALLEY BILL
Revised Measure Proposes
to Gradually Rebuild
Dwellings in Areas.

A new draft of the alley improvement
bill, which 1t is believed the Senate Dis
trict Committee will approve, was in
troduced late yesterday by Senator Cap
per, Republican, of Kansas. Senator
Capper and Senator Austin of Vermont
were named a subcommittee on the
subject, and the rewritten measure is
the result of conferences with Chairman
King of the District Committee, officials
of the Park and Planning Commission
and the District government.
Plan Rebuilding Program.
The revised bill proposes to make a
start on the gradual elimination of alley
dwellings by rebuilding alley areas, or
opening them up as minor streets. The
appropriation is confined to an unex-
pended balance of S500,000 remaining
from the wartime activities of the
United States Housing Corporation.
The measure also would allow the
agency selected by the President to
carry out Sthe alley program to borrow
from the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration, or from any other Govern
ment source authorized to make loans
for this purpose.
The Senate District Committee prob
ably will act on the bill at a meeting
called by Chairman King for Monday
afternoon
President to Name Agency.
The President could designate any
branch of the Federal or District gov
ernment to administer the plan. This
agency could acquire alley property
replat such areas and provide fer erec-
tion of more suitable buildings. In some
cases the blind ends of alleys would be
cut through to make them minor streets
The agency selected could either de-
velop the areas itself. or could make
loans to limited dividend corporations
or to home owners to develop the
property.
The original bill contemplated addi-
tional appropriations annually over q
period CT years until the program il
complete. 1t is believed that confin-
ing the bill to the unexpended funds oi
the Housing Corporation, together with
the right to borrow, will facilitate pas
sage of the measure The bill seeks tc
eliminate alley dwellings by 1914.

OFFICIALS PROBE
GAS OWNERSHIP
Commission Checks Changes
Made Since Chase Ma
tionaI's New Set-up.

The Public Utilities Commission today
served notice on counsel for the Wash
ington Gas Light Co. to inform the
commission and District Supreme Court
If any changes in the intricate owner
ship set-up of the gas company have
resulted from the reported separation
or the Chase Securities Corporation
from the Chase National Bank.
In letter to Wilton J. Lambert, gen.
eral counsel for the gas company Maj.
Gen. Mason M. Patrick, commission
chairman, stated:
The commission has been advised
that material alteration in the rela-
tionship of the Chase National Bark
and the Chase Securities Corporation
has been effected within the last few
weeks. 1t would appear from the rec
ord of former proceedings that this
change would affect the securities of
the Washington and suburban COM
panies.
will you please advise the commission
as promptly as possible of the full effect
of the change to which reference is
made? We also desire to be advised If
you intend to file statements of this or
other changes as is required by the pro-
visions Of the orders entered by the
court"
Eighty-four per cent of the common
stock of the Washington Gas Light Co,
according to a recent Commission re-
port, was owned by the Washington
and Suburban Companies, a Massa-
chusetts common law trust, the success
sor to the Seaboard Investment Trust

oct ix,ila v,a
Chase National Bank held 300 of the
shares of beneficial interest
The court decree of last December,
in effect, accepted the set-up at that
time of the ownership of the Gas Light
Co. The decree resulted from an ear
lier move by the Utilities Commission
to force outside interests to divest
themselves from control of the COM
pany here, the previous ownership be-
ing declared in violation of the La Fol-
lette antitrust law.

SELLS FINE GOWNS
AT SECOND HAND
Woman Finds Customers for
Discarded Finery.

The business of selling second
hand clothing. long in disrepute, has
been ''gloritied' by New York wom-
an, Mrs. Genevieve Berkeley, who is
making q success of q shop where
she displays only discarded ward
robes" She calls her store "The
Dressing ROOM" and has made a
commercial as well as artistic sue
cess of the venture.
She buys her stock from wealthy
New York women who do not care
TO be seen in the same gown at so
ciety affairs more than a few times,
or from those who, having had a
dress made for them, finally realize
that the color is definitely unbecom-
ing, or from actresses who feel that
their wardrobe must be kept as up
to-date as the mornings newspaper,
despite the resulting depletion of the
bank account.
Mrs. Berkeley is fortunate in hav-
ing wide acquaintance among such
women; as a matter of fact, she was
an actress herself when she decided
to start her novel business. She has
never had any difficulty in locating
clothes of the type she needs; the
trouble has been, she says, to refrain
from taking certain of the dresses
her wealthy patrons wish her to
take.
