BARUCH AND RYAN
LAUDED BY WILSON

President Wilson yesterday ad
dressed a letter to Representative
Garrett, Democrat, of Tennessee,
denying that Bernard NJ. Baruch
and John ID. Ryan had proiited by
price-hxing in copper while they
were members of the War Indus
tries Board.
To state that either Mr.. Baruch
or Mr.. Ryan had influenced the ac-
tion of the Federal Trade Commits
sion in ascertaining the cost Of
production or attempting to dictate
the recommendations either of the
War Industries Board or any of the
price-fixing committees, is utterly
foolish and without foundation of
any kind" wrote the President.
There was not a suggestion of
scandal connected with either of
these gentlemen in any of the war
activities in which they played so
notable a part. and / wish. before
the closing days of this administra-
tfon. again to say how admirably
they served the needs of the nation.
and how unselfishly they devoted
their time and talents to the gov
ernrsent in every crisis which faced
US during the critical days of the
war"

SENATE ENDS WITH HOUSE ON LOVES BONUS
sS,1Oo, ,73s Spent
In 1920 Election, !
Committee Finds

Election of Harding. Coolidge and
the Republican Congress last No
vember cost ss,10o,739.21. the Senate
Committee on Campaign Expendi-
lures reported yesterday. The de-
feated Democrats spent S2.237,770.7l.
The sum named by the committee
as the nearest possible approxima-
tion of the amount spent in the
campaign is $10.33s,50s.s2. This is
not all. as II takes no account of
money used by Socialist, Farmer
Labor group and Non-partisan
League. Neither does 1t include
money raised or spent locally and
not reported.
This huge expenditure, the report
said, constitutes "a menace to the
nation" which ought to be removed
by Constitutional amendment, IL
necessary.
The report is the sequel to the
long Investigation conducted by the
committee last summer. The COM
mittee made no reference to Gov
ernor Cox or his charges against
the Republicans.
The report covered both the pre-
convention and the later campaigns.
Harding's campaign for nomination
cost $113,109 and Coolidse's s6S,375.
Cox's cost $4,000. Gen. Leonard
Woods campaign cost more than
those of sixteen other Republican
and Democratic aspirants put to-
gether, according to the report. The
sixteen. including all the major and
most of the minor candidates, spent
total of sl,2o6,73o, and Woods
campaign for nomination cost ST.
773,303.

LEVERIsC CLAIMS
TYLER PLAN MAKES
DAM IMPOSSIBLE
Engineer Scores Appro-
priation to Build Addi-
tional Conduit.

Declaring that the 100000 ap-
preparation tackled on the army bill
to begin construction of an addf-
tional conduit to Increase the Dis
trict water supply is an attempt to
have Congress commit itself to the
Tyler plan for developing Great
Falls, J. Z. Levering, civil engineer.
issued a statement last night IN
which he asserted the scheme will
prohibit the construction Of efficient
power development on the Potomac
River"
Levering was the engineer who
filed alternate plans for the har-
Messing of Great Falls. but which
were turned down by the Federal
Power Commission in favor of the
army plans.
The conferees on the army bill
yesterday reported the measure
favorably and the Senate amended
1t SO as to appropriate the 100000
payable 60 per cent by the District
and 40 per cent by the Federal gov
ernment. Levering's statement fol-
lows:
TT is not commonly known that
the proposed appropriation Of $780,
900 for preliminary work under the
Tyler plan is an effort to commit
the Congress to a scheme that will
prohibit the construction of an er-
ficient power development on the
Potomac River.
IF another tunnel is built at an
elevation of thirty feet above the
present one, IL will prevent a dam
from being built at Great Falls. II
the purpose is to get an additionai
supply of water for the District. a
kater main could be laid at one
tenth the cost and in one-fourth the
time 1t would take to construct an
other tunnel.
"A water main could be adapted
or changed to conform to any dam
location, but a tunnel once built
will be a permanent barrier to any
efficient power development.
1T is unnecessary to say who is
Interested in preventing the Dis
trict from obtaining an independent
source of power and light"

Threaten Senate
Contempt Action
Against Houston

A fiat demand that he produce all
Official Treasury documents with
reference to loans advanced by the
United States to foreign govern
ments was made upon Secretary
Houston by the Senate Judiciary
Committee yesterday.
Meeting in executive session, the
committee unanimously adopted a
motion by Senator Reed, Democrat,
Of Missouri. by vSlich the Secretary,
instead Of being requested" as is
the usual procedure, was directed
to produce the data
Should Secretary Houston ignore
the ultimatum. there is a possibility
the committee will take contempt
proceedings against him, Senator
Knute Nelson, the chairman. de-
clared after the meeting.
Unless Houston appears with the
documents before the committee to-
day, Senator Reed said, he will ask
the Senate to institute contempt
proceedings.

ALLEGES USELESS
KILLING OF YANKS
House Investigators Report
On Overseas Conduct of
War Makes Charge.

American soldiers in the front
lines on November IL. 1918, when
the armistice was signed, were
needlessly slaughtered, the sub
committee that Investigated the
conduct of the war overseas
charged in a report made yesterday
to the select committee of the
House appointed to investigate war
expenditures. The report has not
been approved by the whole COM
mittee. OF which representative
Graham. of Illinois. is chairman.
The select committee will meet
today to consider the sub-commit-
tees findings.
In addition to charging that of
ficers of the high command" sub
jected American troops to needless
slaughter after the armistice was
signed. the subcommittee criticised
the financing of the Czecho-Slovak
army by the American Treasury
Department after the armistice and
reported it had also been unable to
ascertain how much money the
American Expeditionary Forces had
expended, partly because of the
failure of Secretary of War Baker
to cooperate with the committee.
A discrepancy of $S15,7S7.9S9 was
alleged.
A table furnished the committee
showed that thirteen American di-
visions suffered a total of 3sl2
