PEPC0 0|SATTACKED
BY SENATOR NORRIS

bitter attack upon the Potomac
Electric Power Company was made
in the Senate today by Senator Norris
of Nebraska.
Norris charged that the corporation
was solely responsible for the long
delay in the development of water
power at Great Falls. He made a
vigorous fight foe the retention of a
S25 100000 appropriation in the water
power bill for the development of
Great Falls.
For some reason or another, this
great project has been blocked in the
Senate for more than a decade" said
Norris. This matter has been inves-
tigated several times. and favorable
report has always been made upon it.
There is no need for a further inves-
tigation now
Senator Norris detailed at length
the finances of the Potomac Electric
Power Company, showing how it held
an assumption of rights at Great
Falls, valued at 81 100000. which val
uation had been included in his calcu-
lations relating to increased lighting
charges and street railway fares in
the city.
Senator Nugent of Idaho denounced
the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company as a subsidiary of the
Potomac Electric Power Company
and declared il was a broken down
antiQuated system"
Senator Norris stated that he did
not intend to accuse the Senate Com
mittee on Commerce of having been
Influenced by the Potomac Electric
Power Company when il struck out
from the conference report on the
water power bill. the section appro-
priating $25OOO,OOO for Great rails
development.
The Senate passed the conference
report on the water power bill. con-
tanning an appropriation of $4,000
for investigation of the Great Falls
project, and denying any appropria-
tion for the development of power
there, by large majority, directly
after Senator Norris made his protest
against the bill.

PENN|LESS DISTRICT
ALARMS BR0WNLOW
Failure OF Congress to Pass
Money Bill Would Mean Dis
aster, He Says.

Declaring the failure OF Congress
IN pass the District appropriation bill
this session would amount to a dis
sster,' Commissioner Louis Brownlow
today urged conferees of the House
and Senate to reach some agreement
before adjourning.
Il cannot believe that the two
houses of Congress will adjourn with
out making provisions for the Cow
ernment OF the National Capital" :"
said Commissioner Brownlow. He
stated that unless the approximation
bill is passed it will mean a reduce
tion in pay, temporarily. OF $25 4
month for policemen and firemen;
that no school houses will be built;
that teachers will get no raise in
pay; that the erection of the Munich
pal Hospital and new Eastern High
School again will be delayed; that
improvements to suburban roads
would practically cease, and that no
new pavement work about the city
could begin.
The city is now three years be-
hind in it's program on account OF the
war, said Brownlow, 4 cannot be-
itere Congress will permit a war be-
tween the House and Senate to put
ii another year behind. There should
be compromise between the two
houses. There is nothing at stake
that would warrant the calamity Of
permitting the bill to fail"
Commissioner Brownlow urged the
teachers to quit campaigning for a
bonus and aid in getting through a
bill that provides a substantial in
crease. -

A snake, rolling pin, a foot

They all nSured in two min
utes' experience OF Henry Gard
ner, of the Internal Revenue
Office, at his farm near Vienna,
Va.
Gardner had been looking at
the coffin varnish and fusel oil
when II was red.
He had been exerting himself
to down whiskey.
Then he saw the snake. tripped,
nearly fell into a we'll, and was
rescued by his wife with the
traditional kitchen weapon.
And Gardner doesn't take
drink. He Is an employe OF TIE
prohibition branch OF the Reve-
nue. Bureau.
Tuesday evening he went to his
farm to try to get the rum demon
out OF his mind. and set to work
cutting weeds and clearing brush
away from a struggling onion
bed. when he had collected a
big armful of brush he picked it
up and carried II TO a point sew
eral hundred yards away for
burning. AS he deposited his
burden on the ground there was
hiss, and an ugly head shot up
from among the weeds. within a
few inches of his face ~
The head surmounted one OF the
meanest looking snakes a man
could conjure II he had drank all
the forty-rod which Gardner had
suppressed.
Gardner started to run, shout
ing to his wife to bring some
weapon. 1t was at that moment
that Gardner's foot slipped, near
ly precipitating him into the old
well. 4sHe recovered himself, how
ever. just as Mrs. Gardner ar
rived with the rolling pin. The
snake then enacted the part OF
Jiggs.
The reptile was several feet
long and as large as persons
arm. 1t has since been identified
as member OF poisonous
species.
Gardner's friends are asking
why prohibition Inspector
should hug a snake to his bosom.

AGAIN ALTERED.
-
Virtual Substitute for Mapes .
Measure May Break Dead
lock In Congress.

4 way out OF the deadlock on the
District appropriation bill may be
found today.
Anxious TO saws Washington from
the embarrassment OF going through
the coming fiscal year on the slender
reed OF a continuance OF existing ap-
propriations. the Senate District Com
mittee late yesterday MADE a strategic
move In the direction OF a COM
promise.
1t reported the Mspes bill abolish.
ing the half-and- half TO the Senate
only with Congressman Mspes and his
bill entirely LEFT out OF IL. II reported
what Is in effect a substitute for the
Mapes bill, providing for a continu-
ance of the. hsif-and-haif nscsl sys-
ten with notifications suggested by
Senator Wesley Jones.
The District committee hopes that
if the Senate votes upon this substi-
tute and accepts II. the House con-
fcrees on the District bill will become
convinced that there Is no hope for
Senate majority in favor of the aboli-
ton OF the half-and-half at the pres
ent session, and that further deadlock
OF the measure will be entirely futile
However, there is no prospect of q
break in the deadlock between the
House and Senate yet, and il IL prob.
able that a resolution continuing the
existing appropriation will be intro
duced today or tomorrow.
