Not Known Whether Mr.. Wilson S
Plea Arrived in Time to
Save Americans Life.

NEW YORK, May 19.-The fate OF
jeremiah C. Lynch. an American citi-
zen, who was to have been shot at
daybreak in Dublin. is believed to be
screened by strict censorship. No word
regarding the man who had been con-
victed of completely in the Irish re-
bellion had come over the cables up to
9 o'clock this morning.
President Wilson made an eleventh.
hour plea for a stay of execution just
before midnight last night in WASH
ington. Owing to the difference In
time Lynch was to have faced the f1r-
ing squad about three hours after
President Wilson hid directed that a
cable be sent to London asking that
the execution be deferred until the
American government make an inves-
tigation into the case.
It is not known here whether Presi-
dent Wilson's plea reached the English
authorities in time to save Lynch from
being executed

A report on the trial of jeremiah c.
Lynch from the American consul at
Dublin. dated yesterday. was received
at the State Department today from
Ambassador Page at London. 1t said
Lynch was tried yesterday by a field
court martial.
An apparent omission in the coded
message made its Interpretation un-
certain to State Department officials.
1t was suggested. however, that Lynch
was to have been either sentenced or
executed at daybreak today.

VALUATION PLACED
ONPOWERPLANT
Utilities Commission Places It
in the Neighborhood of
100000.
MAY BRING ON A FIGHT
CONTINUING FOR YEARS
Potomac Company Expected to At
tack Figures, and May Go
Into Court.

Eight million dollars represents the ap-
proximate value OF the property of the
Potomac Electric Power Company, in the
findings of the valuation bureau of the
public utilities commission, which today
submitted its report to the commission
for rate-making purposes.
This is the biggest valua ton task to
be concluded by the bureau. and is be-
lieved TO mark the beginning of long pro-
ceedings that eventually will terminate
tablished.
Hearings Begin June 90.
The commission has set June e6 for
beginning hearings on the tentative
findings. If the items are taken up
individually and extensive objections
made by the company, the hearing may
drag into weeks and months. Once
established by the commission. the
valuation. it is certain. will be opposed
in court. If not acceptable to the com
pany, and the litigation may run into
years.
Z
litigation. the commission may attempt
to adjust rates on the basis of the
valuation adopted, but this move, IL
made. also will be likely to meet with
legal opposition.
The commission expects to have the
properties of all local public utilities
valued by July 1. The Potomac valua-
ton, however. 1t is expected, will fur
nish the real test Of the power and ef-
ficiency of the commission as a valu-
ating and rate-making body.
Expected to Be Attacked. -
1t is generally regarded as proba BILE
that the company will attack the bu-
reaus valuation. The lighting corpo-
ration has been making a valuation of
it's own and will be fortified with vo-
luminous data to oppose any findings Of
the bureau with which it does not
agree.
The finding Of the bureau is that the
amount Of money expended in the con-
structIon and equipment of the Potomac
Electric Power Company Is $7,sS9, ,576. 81.
The bureau has ascertained, through its
engineering department, that the cost Of
reproduction of the physical property of
the &c company mp as Of July /. 1914. would be
80, ,965, ,OS8.0S, and that the cost of re-
production less depreciation to be consid-
cred when rates are fixed, is $S,127, ,342. .92.
Hearings Open to All.
At the hearing not only the company
but all persons or corporations inter-
ested. 1t is announced. may adduce be-
fore the commission such evidence as
they may deem proper with reference
to the cost and value of the property,
all of which will be considered in con-
nection with the work Of the commits
sion for the purpose Of the valuation.
The company also will be heard az to
what 1t considers a fair rate of return

footing in a small post near Hill 2s7, east
Of the wood. Elsewhere, according to the
| afternoon Paris bulletin, the attacks were
repulsed, as was a German attack on the
fort on the northeast slope of Hill 304

''In the western part Of the Argonne
region the enemy has endeavored to
penetrate a small salient of our line at a
point near st. Hubert. -rhis attempt was
made after the explosion Of mine Our
curtain OF fire checked the Germans de-
cisively and they were thrown back into
their trenches.
On the left bank of the River Meuse
yesterday evening German forces re-
Avocourt wood. and Hill s04. These
attacks were of extreme violence. In
them participated large numbers of
men belonging to two divisions recent
ly arrived on the field. The enemy
found it impossible to dislodge us from
our positions in the Avocourt wood and
west of Hill 304.. Nevertheless, on the
center the enemy were able to occupy
a small work south of Hill 2s7. Sever
al endeavors to continue their progress
at this point were definitely checked
by the French fire. On the northeast
slope or Hill 304 an endeavor to re-
capture the small fort taken BY us
yesterday resulted in failure.
Aeroplanes Are Active.
"on the right bank of the river Meuse
and in the Woevre district there was
moderate activity on the part of the
artillery.

SENATOR WORKS PLANS
TO OPPOSE D. c. BILL
Says 1t Does Not Meet Requirements
of Joint Select Commit
tees Report.

'The District appropriation bill as
framed by the House committee does
not at all meet the requirements of the
report of the joint select committee of
Congress on the fiscal relations be-
tween the District and the United
States In my opinion. said Senator
Works Of California. a member of the
Joint select committee, commenting upon
the measure today.
THE House bill puts the burden of
caring for the National Capital upon
the residents of the District of Co
lumbia. My belief is that the burden
should be placed upon the federal gov
ernment, and that when the residents
of the District had paid fair tax
upon their property here that was all
that was to be expected of them
intend to combat the bill with all the
power l can if it comes to the Senate
carrying its present provision for pay
ing the expenses of the capital"

Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire
who was for many years chairman OF
the Senate District committee while
the republicans were in power. pro-
nounced the House bill bad bill" He
is a member of the subcommittee of the
Senate appropriations committee which
will have the District bill in charge
when Il reaches the Senate.
Senator Chiffon of West Virginia
chairman of the joint select committee
of Congress which investigated the
fiscal relations between the District
and the United States, today declined
to comment on the measure.

This is the House bill" he said, "and
I do not care to comment upon it. When
it reaches the Senate, then l will have
something to say
Senator Smith of Maryland, chairman
OF the Senate District committee, said
that he preferred not to comment on
the bill until 1t reaches the Senate
Senator Smith has been strong
friend of the District in the past, and
it is to be expected that he will COM
bat the House measure in its present
form. He is member, too, of the sub

To leave undone the things leg
islative which ought not to be
done is as vitally important as to
do that which ought to be done.
What legislation then should
not be enacted on the basis of the
report of the joint congressional
fiscal committee?
There should be (D No repeal
outright of the half-and-half law
on the theory or in the belief that
the joint committee report abol-
ishes it or. on the whole, recon-
mends its unconditional abolition.
~ No repeal of the half-and-
half law by rider on an appropria-
ton bill as proposed by such
amendment in the last Congress.
This amendment raised the issue
between House and Senate which
led to the creation OF the Joint
congressional committee. This
issue was whether the half-and-
half law was fair to the nation.
The joint committee says it is
fair.
{3l No repeal of the half-and-
half law in any way which fails
to substitute for it carefully
considered system under which
District taxation is fixed and GER
tain, and under which Congress
shall pursue a definite policy OF
regular and liberal appropria-
tiors" for capital maintenance
and development.
(4 This substitute for the
hali-and-half law, if one is pro-
posed, should be thoroughly dis
cussed by the District committees
and carefully considered by both
houses of Congress in order to be
certain that it protects the capi-
tails equities and provides the
just safeguards against excessive
taxation which the half-and- half
law provides; and without this
thorough preliminary discussion
and consideration no repeating
substitute should be enacted.
No Repeal Urged by Committee.
The joint committee was directed tc
