 Required to Register
 Under the house bill all holding companies are required to register with the commission by November 1, 1885.
 After that, unregistered holding companies are forbidden usage of the mails or any means of inter- state cos merce to sell, transmit, transport or distribute gas or electric energy.
 Terms of the bill apply only to companies engaged in interstate or foreign commerce.
 The sub committee proposed that the house submit it's own measure instead of the senate bill.
 Differ From Seante
 Other principal differences from the senate bill are:
 1. The commission is prohibited from requiring holding companies from ,divesting themselves of "non- utility" property except when In consistent with the public interest"
 D. The commission may begin it's complication" of holding com pany structures, on its own motion or, upon the utilities applications after January 1, 1888.
 8. An added provision amending the 1884 revenue act so that regis tered holding companies will be subject to the ordinary corporation income tax with respect to 15 per cent on dividends received from subsidiaries.
 4.--Auth orization of holding companies to acquire securities of other utilities and utility prop critics if approved by the commits sion. '' ''
 May Soon Come To Vote
 Committee Chairman Sam Ray burn, D., Tex, said that he hoped to have the bill reported out by the end of the week so 1t could be brought ot the floor within a few days.
 The subcommittee studying pro- posed amendments to the federal water power act in the administra- tion's utility bill struck out the controversial so-called Common carrier" clause.
 Under this, the federal power commission could compel com pany to move another's power over its line.
 The subcommittee proposed a substitute under which this could he d0ne only after state power commission or a company peti- tioned for 1t, and after public hearings, the power commission deems it to be best for the public interest.

SENATOR ELECT RUSH DREW HOLT

 Washington, June 19.--(UP).-- T..e birthday present to which Rush Drew, Holt had looked for ward so confidently--mem In the United States senate--ap- peared likely to elude him today. The desire of democratic leaders to complete work on the social se4 curity bill made 1t probable that the seating of the youthful West Virginia democrat would go over until tomorrow. Holt becetie 30 to- day. He had expected to present himself at noon, while members of his family and score of sup porters from hone watched from the galleries, and take hts seat as the youngest United States sena- tor since Henry Clay came up from Kentucky more than cen. tury ago.
 tContest by G. o. P.
 H2lt's seating will be contested d by republicans on constitutional grounds. But even his opponents conceded that in a test of strength he would be able to muster enough votes t. gain his seat. Chairman Walter F. George of the senate privileges and elections committee, announced last night that he would ask t..e senate to let the contest on Holt go over for day, pending printing and distribution cf his committees e p orr t upholding Holt's claim of membership.
 Holt Disappointed
 Holt was disappointed but said T certainly don't want to get in the way of the sociay security bill. l think that's very important matter" Opposition to seating of Holt is based on the claim that his election last November was illegal because he had not then reached 30. The minimum consti- tutional age for a United. States senator. Holt. regarded variously as radical, progressive CT liberal, fought the coal and utilities inter- ests in West Virginia and was elected over their opposition. He claims that the same interests in- spired the contest against him in the senate.

 New York, June 9--(UP lThe Stock Market today ran into a long-anticipated reaction. Leading issues of the railroad and indus trial groups broke to 3 points below the previous close.
 Before the break utilities had staged sharp rally on the an- nouncement of a revised utility holding bill by n house sub-com- mittee land more moderate atti- tude on utilities taken by the presi- dent.
 Then copper shares influenced by fears over codeless operation de- clined. Traders believed the mar ket had been overbought and hence subject to sudden reversal of the trend. Their haste to sell acceler- ated the decline.
 The equally sudden stoppage of the drop and a subsequent moder- ate recovery were induced by a large backlog of orders under the market. Before the break the util- ity average made new high for the year: Consolidated Gas reach ed 25H up 13s and Public Serv- ice of New Jersey 39h up 3 oints.

work relief money. The President
promptly. sent q message to Con-
gress to the effect that an emergen-
cy crisis Of unemployment cOntin-
ues. Under such circumstances he
insisted on the continuance of his
extraordinary powers to handle
emergency relief. In palmer words
he told Congress that itemizing re-
lief matters was impossible.
As for the demand from the Hill
to "get rid Of Ickes" that was an
other thing the President fatty re-
fused to do.
The President continues to insist
that he has a mandate from the peO-
pie approving his plans Of adminis-

ognize that fact. mi"
Over in the Senate there is a Bit
ter contest over the Presidents pro-

BREEDING WILD DUCKs


Almost. an species of North Ans
efican ducks have been reared IN
captivity, either from captive par
ents or from eggs OF young taken n
the wild, but for most Of these spec
cies attempts. TO breed these birds
have been far from satisfactory, says
Frederick C. Lincoln, Of the Federal
Bureau OF Biological Survey. Usual-
" It IS necessary to simulate natur-
al conditions on so large a scale
that the quantity production reQulr-
ed for restocking purposes has been
impracticable.
Niallards breed freely in captivity,
but the captive-bfed birds usually
degenerate into the "puddle-duckg
type Of bird, and banding records
have shown that hand-reared mall
lards after being released are sell
dom taken by hunters. Black ducks,
much more wary, make better sport
ing birds when raised IN captivity,
and the banding data show a much
better return record. The recovery
percentage for the home bred mall
lards has been about O.9, while for
the black ducks 1t has been nearly
15-as compared with the 2O-per
cent normal expectancy for wild
ducks.
What becomes Of the liberated
hand-Teared mallards, says Mr.. Linz
coin, is not known. Possibly, he sug-
gests, they spend their lives in the
marshes, refusing to migrate or fly
for the hunter, and II this is true
their progeny may be an asset to
our supply of waterfowl. On the
other hand, he points out, the cap !
tive=bred birds are unframed in the |
rigors Of natural environments, and
they may be so unable to cope with |
living conditions that they succumb
rapidly to the elements and to ma
Lural enemies. There is need for a
more thorough study Of the prob
lem, both in the wild and on game
farms.
