dam site BILL Will
CAUSE LIVELY DEBATE
Consevationists Will Urge lmpoaant
Amendments to Adamson
Measure Today.
OPPOSITION HAS THE MAJORITY

Charging that the Adamson dam site
bill as now amended violates the spirit
and letter OF the agreement entered into
AZ the White House, conseryationists in
the House are preparing TO force i'm
portant amendments when II comes up
for debate again today. Votes taken
Saturday indicated that the conserva-
tionists have a large majority. despite
the fact that two Of the strongest men
in the House, Majority Leader Under
wood and Chairman Adamson. Of the In
terstste and Foreign Commerce Commit
tee. are hghting desperately for the bill
in its present form.
Following are the changes which the
Conservation members hope to force:
Authorize the Secretary Of War. in his
discretion. 10 ix charges. payable TO the
government, for water power leased on
navigable streams.
Make the conservation Of water power
paramount to the question Of navigation
in shaping q general policy.
Retain the provision OF existing law
that all reasonable charges for dement's
shall be assessed against the grantee in
stead OF forcing others similarly situated.
but TO whom the beneft is only Incl
dental. to pay a pro rata share Of the
charges.
Leave 1t to the discretion Of the Sec
retary Of War to terminate a contract
when satisfied that a breach Of contract
has been perpetrated. instead Of forcing
the matter through the courts.
Provide that all obligations and con-
tracts by a grantee shall terminate auto
matically with the expiration Of the lease,
in order that the United States govern
ment may not be held responsible for
such contracts upon taking over a prop
erty at the expiration OF a fifty-year
period
Substitute the recapture clause Of the
Ferris till. which provides that at the
termination of the lease the government
shall take over all nonperishable prop
erty at its original cost, and shall pay
only a fair valuation for perishable prop
erty. The recapture clause in the Adam
son bill proposes that the government
shall pay a fair valuation on all property
except on land acquired from national.
State or county sources. when only the
original cost will be charged against the
government
Provide that regulation in all cases.
whether the electric current generated
from a water-power plant is consumed
within the State or is used in interstate
trafic. shall be a duty of the Secretary
OF War. The Adamson bill vests au
thority to regulate in the Secretary only
in interstate trafic where there is no
State regulation. or where the State reg
ulation is too rigid. Conservationists
hope to substitute the provisions OF the
Ferris bill for this section.
Prohibit the considering Of stock job
bing costs. charges for preliminary sur
vey. promotion expense. etc. as part Of
the basis for the valuation for rate-mak-
ing purposes.

'why smith Left Home"


A typical Brosdhurst farce in the
hands OF as capable a company as the
Columbia Players guarantees enjoyment
in the very announcement. A large audi
encs accordingly gathered last night at
the F street theater for the purpose of
laughing and carried out their intention
with vigor and enthusiasm.
These Broadhurst households. where
the Browns, Joneses and Smiths tumuIt-
uously dwell, are surely OF all imagined
places the most provocative Of mad
hilarity. The people who frequent them
are comical by nature, and their amusing
traits are excited by ingenious trains OF
circumstances to the point Of roaring
absurdity. The particular home that
Smith left was especially overcrowded
with ludicrous individuals. very wearing
on his purse and peace Of mind. and
none Of the ordinary means Of rfddance
seemed to work. For the audience. this
was all to the good. but Smith was
obliged at last TO depart with his wife
in order to prove that he loved her.
John Smith is played by Mr.. Van
Buren, who gives to the part OF the
pestered husband a pleasant air OF in
genuous sincerity, contrasting effectively
with the wiles and guiles Of the plaguey
bunch Of visitors and servants. Dorothy
Bernard is more charming than ever in
the role Of the young wife whose faith
in her husband is sorely tried. but tri-
umphs.
The best eccentric work this week is
that Of Carrie Thatcher as the "Secre-
tary Of the Cook Ladies' Union" whose
bad cooking is one of Smiths weapons
against the tyrannous "Aunty," also cap
ably played by Julia Blanc. Miss Glen
denning, too. does excellent work as the
kissable housemaid. Mary
Russell and Bessie Maxwell are success
ful in the two remaining feminine parts
The male visitors who add their several
bits OF eccentricity to the whirl are pre-
sented in clean-cut style by Messrs Bar
bier, Butterheld, Robertson, and Kline.
