GREAT FALLSPLAN
Asks Senate to Reconsider
Vote on Appropriation.
Others Support Project.

Senator Walsh of Montana To-Day
called upon the Senate to reconsider
the vote by which it adopted the Nor
ris amendment to the water power
bill providing s25,00O.0O0 for the es-
ia ablishment of water power plant at
Great Falls. on the Potomac river.
Senator Walsh said that he would
not feel like putting his own money
into this enterprise without further
information as to it's feasibility. He
said that he did not think that the
Senate should invest the money of
the government in the enterprise
without further investigation.
1.-The information l have leads me to
doubt the success of the project. he
said. "But l might be convinced of
it's practicabilities if an investigation
was made by a competent engineer
and he recommended it.
Il propose to offer a substitute for
Senator Norris amendment authoriz-
ing and directing the federal power
commission, established by the water
power bill, to make an investigation
of the Great Falls project and to re-
port on it to Congress-
Opposes Patuxent Project.
Senator Nelson of Minnesota. who
has been in charge of the water
power bill. said that he would support
the Norris amendment, especially
since it was necessary to obtain an
increased supply of water for the Dis
trict. He said that he had been in
formed that plans were on foot to get
this additional supply from the Pa
tuxent river.
This seems to be folly" said Sena-
tor Nelson, "since the Patuxent is a
small stream. The establishment of the
power plant at Great Falls would make
it practicable to get an additional water
supply from the Potomac River"
The Norris amendment was supported
also by Senator Dial of South Carolina
1T does not seem to be necessary to
keep on making surveys of this project
when a splendid report has already
been made on it by the engineers of the
Army, The only difference between
conditions today and at the time of the
chinery. 1t is possible to estimate for
the increased cost without new sur
vey.'
Sees Immense Value.
II feel confident that this amend
ment should be retained" said SEN
ator Norris. 1T does not take an
expert to look at Great Falls and see
that there is waterpower there which
can be utilized to save millions Of
dollars besides bringing about a
great measure of conservation. The
District of Columbia is now short Of
water. If there had been a confia.ra-
tion last summer when the water
was low there would have been a dis
aster here"
Senator Norris said that the Great
Falls waterpower project should have
been developed years ago. He gave
a detailed history of the efforts which
have beer made to obtain legislation
for this power project, and of the in
vesttgaticns which have been made
In the past.

SENATORS TO HEAR
DR.. VAN SCHA|CK0 ON
ELIGIBILITY CLAIM
District Committee Session
to Be Called to Pass on
Nomination.

The Senate District committee will
be called together within a few days
to consider the nomination of DR.
ber of the board of District Commits
sioners.
Chairman Sherman of the committee
said today that it was his purpose to
ask DR.. Van Schaick to meet with the
committee in executive session to dis
cuss the charges which have been
made against him. He said that the
committee desired information which
DR.. Van Schaick himself
Senator Sherman declined at this
time to say what his feeling was in
regard to the appointment of DIR. Van
Schaick. He said that he would not
reach a decision until all the evidence
slider it. However, it was learned to-
day that the confirmation of DIR. Van
Schaick will be strongly opposed by
at least one member Of the commit .
tee.
1t is likely that much will depend
upon the facts developed, with regard
to DR.. Van Schaick's eligibility as an
actual resident of the District In
a brief filed by w. NICK. Clayton it
is pointed out that the law OF 1878
says that the DlStrlct COmm1SSlO one rs
must be men who have actually re-
sided in the District during the three
years prior to their appointment, and
that they must not have claimed resi-
dence elsewhere in that time.
Claim as to Last Election.
Although Dr. Van Schaick in writ
ten memorandum laid before the COM
mittee yesterday declared that he had
not voted or registered anywhere to
vote during the last three years, Mr..
Clayton said at the hearing yester-
day that he had been informed that
Dr. Van Schaick voted in the last
presidential election at his home in
New York state, and that SO far as
he knew he was still registered there
and eligible to vote.
The brief also pointed out that the
Court of Appeals of the District. in
the case of Commissioner Newman,
had decided that intention was not
sufficient to establish residence in the
District of Columbia under the terms
of the act of 1878. but that to be eli
gible for appointment as District
Commissioner a man must actually
have made his home in the District
for three years.
Mr.. Clayton pointed out that this
decision of the Court of Appeals has
never been overturned, and that the

Mr.. SHERMAN WOULD
| RETAIN HALF-AND-HALF

Declaring his opposition to the
Mapes bill. which proposes to do
away with the half-and-half system
of appropriating for the District of
Columbia. Senator Sherman of Illi-
nois. chairman of the District COM
mittee. said today that as soon as
he was able to get a full meeting
of the committee he would ask that
the bill be considered
Il think that the committee should
vote on the measure without delay"
Senator Sherman said. "The men,
berS are all familiar with the Ques-
tion at issue. Unless there are new
facts to be presented, it does not
seem to me that hearing is neces-
sary. / am ready to vote now. I
see no reason for abandoning the
half-and- half plan of paying the ex-
penses of the District.
Even if it is shown that the half
and-half plan is not exactly the right
proportion, I believe that d fixed pro-
portion should be continued. either
causing the government to pay a
greater proportion or less. as the
facts may indicate. l am against the
indefinite plan proposed in the Mapes
bill
The Senate in the past has voted
overwhelmingly against the abandon
ment of the half-and- half plan. 1t is
expected that the great mapority of
the Senate committee will support
Senator Sherman's position in the
matter.
