LATIMER BECOMES CHAIRMAN. Doath o.f Senator Mallory Puts I?im at Hoad of Senate Committee. Through the death of Senator Mallory, of Florida, who was chairman of the senate committee 0:1 corporations in the District of Columbia, South Carolina gets another chairmanship, this place going t-o Senator Latinier. The junior senaDor from South CarN olina is now the ranking democratic member of the committee, and, as stated, goes to the head of .fire committee through the death of Senator Mallory. This is probably the only committee in the senate which the republicans give to tihe democrats by allowf ing tliean to name one of their numbe:* as its chairman, an'd while it is not considered of any great importance . to be its head, it means something | for a man of energy for the reason that through it' a considerable amount of legitimate advertising may be done. It is not expected (hat as the chairman of the new committee, Senator Latimer will revolutionize the corporations of the Distinct of Columbia, or disclose any startling sensations. The best that can be done is to watch the public franchises of the district, t'hvs street railroads, electric Light companies, water companies, gas works and other public utilities. For many years the people of Washington have begged pitoous'ly for relieif from the heavy assessments levied against them by public corporations operating in the district, especially the gas company, from whose clutch'es they are now making a hard fight to escape. It may be possible for Senator Latimer, through the means of the corporation chairmanship, to put an end to legalized gouging. Another way in which the influence of tire junior senator may be felt, is in the operation and control of the street car lines of Washington. Throughout the United States tlierj is probably not as poor a system of public transportation lines as is found in the nation's capital. There is big room for ?improvement with thorn, and apparently there is an opportunity for Senator Latimer to come to the front in demanding hotter care of the travelling public. With the rise of Senator Latimer to the head of the corporations committee of the district, South Carolina lifts two representatives closely identified with its interest's, Representative Wyatt Aiken, of Abbeville, being on the committee of the District of Columbia in the house.
