NO SCHEME PROPOSED,
Mr., FERRIS DECLARES
Denies There Is Plot to Trans
fer Public Lands to the
States.

Representative Scott Ferris Of Okla
homa, who is conducting lively skir-
mish in the House in the hope of gain
ing the craftsmanship Of the public ianos
committee, denies absolutely that there
lis anything in the published rumor that
there is a scheme afloat to have the
United States relinquish all public lands
and turn them over to the states IN which
they are located.
Statement Emphatic.
Representative Ferris said:
THE facts are: l have just called oy
phone Senator SmoOt, chairman of the
public lands committee of the Senate,
and he tells me that there is no such
bill pending and no such bill has ever
received consideration there. and no
word has ever been uttered by any SEN
ator or any person before his commit
ltee favoring such scheme. L have
just called by phone the clerk of the
public lands committee Of the House
and he tells me that no such bill Is
pending and that such bill has ever
been considered by the public lands COM
mittee.
II have been a member of the public
lands committee for the past six years.
| I am the only democratic member OF
the public lands committee that has been
on the committee that long. No such
bill has ever been presented to the COM
mittee since l have been a member
thereof. No word has ever been spoken
on this subject either to me or by me to
any living man either privately or pub
licly,"

TIDES UNUSUALLY LOW.
Northwesterly Winds Cause the
Water to Fall Rapidly.

Rivermen have a saying that big. full
tide is sure to be followed by heavy
Northwestern, and it was certainly true
yesterday. The southerly and easterly
winds had backed the water up in the
river and at high water. about noon. yes
terday the tide was as full as though il
were springtime instead of midwinter
The level of the water was above the sea
wall on the Potomac Park side Of the
harbor and it was almost level with the
platforms of the lower wharves, one cor
ner of the fish wharf having water on it.
On the Virginia side of the river all the
lowlands We're flooded for the first time
in several months, but the water did not
get high enough to do any damage. Then
the wind shifted to the northwest and
the water in the river fell faster than it
came up.
Those who watched the tide say they
could see the water dropping, and this
morning the tide was as much below the
average as il was above yesterday. The
river flats were bare in many places and
in the shoal docks there was not enough
water to float a skiff.
