latter's husband, Albert 8. Chicken.
ger, q retired farmer, was 30 badly
injured he died not long afterward.
when an automobile in which the
three we're riding was struck by an
outbound scioto Valley traction car
at Lockbourne road. . few miles
south Of the city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clickinger lived on q
farm near Valley Crossing. He 10 81
years old and his wife was about nv =
years his Junior Miss Zeller made
her home at S57 Franklin avenue, this
city. She was in the early twenties.
The impact Of the car was terrific.
The bodies Of the women were liter.
ally torn to pieces and they were
scattered along the track for IS
yards. The man was thrown into the
soft mud and this alone saved his life.
Cne theory advanced for the cause
Of the accident is that Mr.. Clickenger
was watching the Hooking vallev
railway tracks, not far away. and did
not see the traction car. The road
crosses the railway tracks near the
place where the tractio, three.rail

Washington, June 14.--Representa

man Of the house committee on rules,
presented bill designed to pave the
way for renewal Of the inquiry into
the so-called money trust.
In q statement accompanying the
bill, MIR. Henry declares that Wall

present movement for banking and
currency legislation and that their
only aim 10 to pass the Aldrich bill,
veneered over 20 as to fool the peo-
pie OF the United States"
Whether Mr.. Henry intended II o.
not, his bill and the accompanying
statement are accepted as q declara
tlon Of war by radical Democrats on
the Democratic plan to put through
q banking and currency revision bill
at this session Of congress.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Henry
gives the house the sole visitational
power over national banks and other
financial institutions exercised by the
courts and the comptroller Of the cur.
rency.
The house leaders are said to be
hostile to renewal Of the money
trust investigation and will do every.
thing possible to have the Henry bill
pigeonholed in the banking and cur
rency committee, to which II was re.
ferred. Mr.. Henry announced, how.

colleges are already making plans to
cooperate in the survey this summer.
Last summer the work was consid

local ministers. BY q house.to.ho

townships they were able not only to
furnish valuable material for the sur.

Of their field that they could not
otherwise have obtained. To Illus.

Projects involving $500 horsepow-

showing the status of water power
Developments on the national forests.
Works which will produce 1900
horsepower are under construction
and 4,400 horsepower will be gener-

preliminary stage of development.
In California, Oregon and Wash
ingtoa $4,000 horsepower have been
actually developed; 107, 900 horse
power are under way, and 476,000
horsepower are planned.
Figures for all the national for

amount 900 are already COM

The government estimates of the
