Niagara Falls Power
Bill in Committee

The Cline bill. for the conservation of
the water power of Niagara Falls in the
development of hydro-electmc current.
was before the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs today for the third
time within the past four years. Efforts
have been made at two previous sessions
of Congress to put the bill! through, but
there has been a hitch from one cause
or another
The bill proposes convention with
Canada limiting the use of the falls for
hydro electric purposes. The State gov
ernment of New York opposes the meas
ure on the ground that 1t is an inter-
ference with the States control of the
falls in the matter Of hydro-electric

nriation bin by getting II special rule
from the Rules Committee.
Johnson's Bills.
Chairman Ben Johnson of the District
Committee has introduced more than
score of bills to put into effect the lcgls-
ation requested by the Commissioners.
The estimates called for the abOlisn-
ment OF the Board of Education ana
the transfer of the school system to the
direct supervision of the Commission
ers; a similar abolishmcnt of the Board
of Childrcns Guardians and the Boa'd
OF Charities; authorization that the
commissioners shall appoint the lie
corder OF Deeds and the Register OF
" Ills; annual assessments of real cs-
tate; changes in the method OF licensing
anu taxing automobiles; reforms IN the
office of the Tax Assessor; and various
other legislative proposals.
The present intention of the Appro-
priations committee Is not to InCiude
these recommendations as legislative
riders on the annual budget. Ihc DIS
trlct Committee Will be gwen "A ChanCc
to take these matters up one by one.
as provided in bills by Congressman
johnson, and report them to the House
for action on "DlstriCt day.
Hearing Is Set.
That the appropriations subcommit-
tee had decided not to load the budget
up with legislation became apparent
when a controversy was staged before
it over the proposed abolishment OF the
Board of Education. Henry +. Blair,
chairman of the board. opposed such a
move at the Appropriations Committee
hearing and Congressman Lloyd. of the
District Committee, was sent for. Mr..
Lloyd. as chairman of the subcommit-
tee on education of the District Com
mittee, agreed to open hearings next
Wednesday on this controVerted ques-
ton and the Commissioners. members
of the Board OF Education. and repre-
sentatives of civic associations will be
heard before the District Committee
acts.
Half-and- Half Plan.
1t is a foregone conclusion that the
estimates of the Commissioners-ap-
proximat ting $751; 0Oo-will be pruned
somewhere.
BY the time the bill is ready it Is eX-
pected that Congressman Johnson may
be able to get action on his measure
putting into effect the recommendation
of the fiscal investigating committee for
the adjustment of the half-and-half
principle. This would result in :he.
framing of the District budget under
the proposed new fiscal scheme. where
by the Federal Government will use all
District revenues toward District prof.
ects and make up the balance needed
from the Federal Treasury.
Both Congressman Johnsnu and Con-
gresham Rainey, the latter a mcmEer
of the investigating committee, are at
work on bills abolishing the half-and-
half plan. These measures may be
ready for introduction early next week.

Ell PASO, Texas, June 6.-The
most impressive military honors were
paid today to the memory of Captain
Chas. T. Boyd, Lieutenant Henry
Adair and seven negro troopers when
the bodies of the nine men were taken
through Ell Paso's streets to an under
taking establishment.
General Geo. Bell, Jr., commanding
the American forces here and his
staff, led the funeral cortege. Behind
them rode the Eighth cavalry regi-
ment. The plain back Mexican cas-
kets were placed in separate ambu-
lances and following each was a
charger with an empty saddle,
negro survivor of the CaIrizal fight
leading it. Tears filled the eyes of
the twenty-three negro troopers who
were taken prisoners at the Carrizal
battle and afterward returned here,
as they accompanied the procession.

CHEMISTRY LESSON
FOR ORPET JURY
ToxicoIoaist on the Stand Today Ies'
titled in Favor OF the
Defense.

COURT ROOM, wAUKEGAN, ILL.,,
July 6.-The jury that will determine
viii Orpet's innocence or guilt OF
Marian Lambert's murder, sat through
another chemistry lesson today. Out
of a chaotic mass of chemical sym
bols, quotations, opinions and expert
ments, the state and defense battled
to bring out the answer to the ques-
ton the jury must decide:
Murder or suicide, which,?
DR.. John A. Wesener, toxicolog1st,
who served in the Hyde case at Kan
sas City, and other famous murder
trials was on the stand for cross
examination by the state.
He had testified for the defense
that the three spots on Marian's coat
were not caused by liquid cyanide of
potassium, as the state contended.
Today the state, by detailed, hypo-
thetical questions, forced DR.. Wesener
to admit the spots would be identical
if made by cyanide in either liquid or
powder form.
The state also drew from him an
admission that the cyanide found on
