Calls for Construction of Big Plant

man. by request" Is enacted. there will
be q large merger of electric power COM
panies operating In Western Maryland
and Virginia, and q power plant will be
constructed at or near the Little Falls

merger OF the Potomac Power Company,

Montgomery Power Company. the Nor
folk County Industrial Company and
other Organizations which supply power
for electric roads throughout Western
Maryland and Virginia and into Pennsyl-
vania 1t is said that the companies con-
template supplying power to the District
also, but little credence is placed in this
report.
The bill has been referred to the COM
mittee on corporations OF the Maryland
senate. II authorizes the power compa-
MES to construct and operate a dam
across the Potomac river, near Little
Falls, and to acquire by condemnation
proceedings such part Of the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal az will be submerged by
the overflow from the dam. but compels
the companies to provide for the rebuild
ing or relocation Of the canal, as well as
the building Of the additional locks that
win be required to maintain the traffic
of the canal uninterrupted.
AS the bill was introduced only "by
request" it is thought the chances of it's
being enacted into law In the immediate
future are rather remote.

PEACE BEFORE RECOGNITION.
Corea Told Madriz Must Suppress
All Disorder First.

President Madriz Of Nicaragua, through
Senior Corea, his representative at This
capital, has again appealed to the United
States for recognition.
Senior Corea called at the State Depart-
ment yesterday afternoon, and had a LONG
interview with Assistant Secretary VIII
son. He said he was authorized by Pres
ident Madriz to give any and every quar-
antee demanded by the United States for
the safety Of American life and interests
in Nicaragua In return for q formal rec
ognition of the existing government.
He said also that England, France and
other European nations already have ex-
tended such recognition. while Mexico has
refrained from doing SO only out Of con-
sideration for the United States, being
willing to await the action OF this coun.
try.
Assistant Secretary Wilson told Senior
Corea that the United States would no,
recognize any government in Nicaragus
until the last trace OF disorder had disap,
peared.

TRUE TO ITS PRINCIPLES
REV DIR. RUSSELL'S EULOGY OF
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Rev. DR.. Russell, pastor of st. Patrick'f
parish, in an address at the celebration
held in Carroll Hall today by the children
Of st. Patrick's school in honor Of the
founding Of the Maryland colony by Cal
vert and other Catholic pilgrims, declared
that from that day to the present time
Catholics have set a conspicuous ex-
ample OF observation-disclosures and liberty.
while our religion has at times been
assailed,' said Dr. Russell; while our
converts have been burned, and the
clergy assaulted, never has a Catholic
priest or bishop made use of the pulpit
to excite religious animosity or to stir
up the bitterness Of bigotry. Let us be
true to our past.
Though we may be assailed, though
loud accusations be brought against US.
though our actions and our church may
be maliciously misrepresented. let US be
true to the principle which guided the
Pilgrim fathers Of civil and religious lib
erty. Though we remember. we for
give"
olics commemorate the establishment OF
civil and religious liberty in America by
the Catholic Pilgrim fathers of Maryland.

WILKESBARRE. Pa, March 23-Presi-
dent Greenawalt of the State Federation
of Labor was surprised and somewhat
disappointed today when he read the
strike news from Philadelphia.
Its too bad he said.
Asked what effect the action of the
s., 600 textile workers OF Philadelphia in
voting to go back to work would have
on the deliberations OF the executive COM
mittee in this city, Mr.. Greenawalt said:
None"
It is believed the course pursued by
the Philadelphia textile workers and the
threatened return to work of other men
in the same city will have tendency to
increase opposition to calling a state
wide strike in the conference of the exec
utive committee. which went into ses-
sion at 10 o'clock.
