Plans To Utilize The Potomac
Submitted.

Reports were made simultaneously last
Saturday by the army engineers. on the
one hand, and engineers of the Geological
Survey on the other, providing in the first
instance for an expenditure of $54,944,-
900 for the development by the Govern
ment of Great Falls. Nd, and providing in
the second instance for IA giant reservoir
sites along the Potomac river. from Great
Falls to Petersburg. W. Va.
These reports recommend the harness
ing of the water power at Great Falls for
industrial and other purposes and for the
creation of an additional water supply for
the District of Columbia. For years Gov
eminent engineers have been studying the
problem of utilizing this picturesque water
fall for utility purposes. number Of re-
ports having been made.
The most pressing need is that Of more
water for the growing population Of the
District. but while surveying the Falls in
that connection the engineers have taken
into consideration the potentially of the
water power which might be developed
there, power deemed by most authorities
to be sufficient for lighting and traction
purposes not only in the District, but in
the Maryland territory to the east Of the
Falls.
The army engineers. headed by Major
Tyler. have submitted to General Beach.
chief of engineers, plan providing for two
dams across the Potomac. one at the Falls
and the other at Chain Bridge. Immediately
below the Falls. Three supply reservoirs. a
new filtration plant and new conduit
from Great Falls are also contemplated,
the cost of the whole enterprise being fixed
at $54,944,000
The Geological Survey report does not
indicate the cost Of the reservoir system
it proposes. 1t indicates, however that
the best means Of assuring the District Of
water supply would be found in con-
structing the ID reservoirs The Ia dams
for this purpose would be located as fol-
lows:
South branch of the Potomac at Peters,
burg, W. Va; south branch of the Poto-
mac about 200 feet above the mouth ;

Big Dramatic Festival

Coming to Washington. D. c.. at the Shu-
bert Belasco Theatre the week Of Feb
ruary 18th
Americas leading player-Guy Bates
Post, the most celebrated play Of the
decade-"The Masquerader," comprise a
combination never before equaled in the
atricals, is coming to this section. This
much-talked- about season best Offering
with the original cast and production. re-
volving stages, triple electrical equipment,
thematic music, and nine ponderous, pull
sating scenes, is commented on by the
leading critic Of Boston to the extent Of two
columns. Among other eulogistic COM
ments he says: Guy Bates Post kept a
capacity audience thrilling in response to
the clever unfolding of the story Of the
substitution of John Loder for his cousin,
the dissolute John Chilcote, at time when
England stood sorely in need of the bril-
liant statesman who had become hope
less drug addict. The dual role Of Mr..
Post presents the best character study ever
seen on Boston stage. Where Mansfield,
in his transition of Jekyll and Hyde. used
various accessories to complete the illu-
sion. Mr.. Post relies entirely upon his play
of facial expression. manner. bearing and
intonation.
His contrasts between the fine con-
trolled Loder and the brilliant weakling
Chilcote, were wonderful examples Of de-
tailed study Of the two men. Nothing is
lacking Even Chilcote's inability to con-
troll the muscles Of his face. the indeter-
inmate relaxed mouth, the wavering hands,
all were indications Of the breaking down
through the use of morphia of what had
been most brilliant mind. The sudden
transitions from one personality to the
other must be severely taxing, for Mr..
Post is scarcely absent from the stage
throughout the entire play. He is our
most remarkable actor. Nothing better in
stage effects has been seen in Boston, and
the trice with which the ponderous scenes
were transposed bespeaks much for the
manner of modern stage-c craft as manipu-
lated by that master Richard Walton
Tully."

Thompson Denied New Trial.

Guy Vernon Thompson. convicted In the
Circuit Court here January 9th of the muir
der of James Bolton and two little children
OF his housekeeper. was denied new trial
by Chief Judge Urnsr and Associate Judges
Peter and Worthington in the Circuit Court
on Monday last
A new trial was asked on the ground
that two of the jurors who sat in the case,
Charles E. Benson and Maurice M. Moss
burg, had prior to the trial formed and
expressed opinions as to the guilt or limo
cence OF the prisoner. The jurors were
placed on the stand and they made it
plain that the statements made by them
at the time they were examined for Jurors
were correct and that they had neither
formed nor expressed opinions as to the
mans guilt or innocence.
Thompson was questioned as to why in
his opinion he should be given another
trial. He said he thought there we're sew
eral witnesses who did not testify at the
trial who could give evidence of value to
him. The Court. however, held that what
Thompson stated these witnesses would
testify was immaterial.
Thompson is under sentence of death,
although the date for the execution has
not been fixed by Gov. Richie. He was
brought over from the Baltimore city Jail,
where he has been since his trial. by
Sh riff Nicholson and Monday afternoon
was returned to the Baltimore institution.
John A. Garrett, Thompson's attorney,
announced that he would take the case to
the Court of Appeals.
