100000 IN JEWELS
SAVED IN HOTEL BLAZE

OLD POINT COMFORT. Va, March
9.-Two hundred thousand dollars
| worth of jewelry was found intact
and undamaged when the Chamber
lin Hotel safe was unearthed beneath
bed of ashes and opened about
o'clock this afternoon. This jewellery
was owned by the Chamberlin guests
and had been placed there for safe
keeping.
One hundred thousand dollars worth
is owned by Mrs. schwerinet of New
York city, said at the time of the
fire to have lost everything. She had
given the jewelry to hotel authorities
and it had been placed in the safe
Guests at the hotel who had de-
posted jewelry or money at the office
were busy this afternoon collecting
it. each person having to prove own
ership of the package. The contents
of the huge safety deposit vault were
reported to be undamaged
Most of the hotel records were
found in the vault. They were thrown
in during the rush and excitement Of
getting the people from the burning
among the things saved. and from
this the authorities will be able to
set at rest for good and all, they
hope, rumors that two or, more per-
sons perished in the flames.
The debris was dynamited yester-
streams of water on the ashes last
night and this morning. Workmen
then dug their way to the vault and
opened it.
Many persons who feared they had
lost all the jewelry and valuables
found them locked tight in the vault,
the hotel authorities having thrown
every possible thing of value in there
when it was found that the hotel was
doomed.

OMIT
$25,0(0,ODO ITEM
FOR GREAT FALLS
Substitute Provision Author
ICES an Investigation of
Power Plant Plan.

The $25.o00,000 appropriation for
the development of a power plant at
Great Falls on the Potomac river,
the water power bill, has been strick-
en- out by the conferees Of the Senate
and House on the power bill.
In its place the conference commit
tee has substituted a provision di-
recting the water power commission
created by the bill, to investigate and
report to Congress on or before jan
uary !, 1921, on the proposed Great
Falls plan. The commission ls oI-
rected also to submit plans to secure
an increase in the water supply 1of
the city of Washington.
Substitute Provision.
The substitute provision prepared by
the conferees follows:
"The waterpower commission IS mere
by> authorized and directed to invest1-
gate and, on or before the nrst day OF
January, 1921, report to Congress the
cost and. in detail. the economic value
of the power plant outlined IN pro1ecl
No. 3, House document NO. 14oo' olno
Congress, Bird session, in view OF exist
ing conditions, utilizing such study as
may heretofore have been made by any
department of the government; also In
connection with such project to sub
NIT plans and estimates of cost neces-
sary to secure an increased and ade.
duate water supply for the city OF
Washington. For this purpose $4,000
or so much thereof as may be necessary
is hereby appropriated"
Aim of SENATE Amendment.
The original Senate provision di-
recting the water power commission
to proceed with the construction oi
the plant at Great Falls was intro
duced by Senator Norris of Nebraska
The purpose of the plant was to fur
nish light and power and an in
creased water supply for Washington
The House confereeS refused at this
time to agree to an appropriation OF
,s25, 900, 900 to carry out this project
They. insisted that there should be
further information in view OF con-
ditions which have arisen in the last
few years.
The conferees on the water power
bill have not yet completed their
work. They adjourned today to meet
at the call of the chairman, Senator
Jones Of Washington. Because some
Of the members of the conferences
committee are compelled to leave
Washington for a time it is unlikely
that the conference will meet again
during the next two weeks.
