is the Improvement work. Repairs
are needed all over the city. I'M

needed in newly opened sections.
Request Cut One-Third.
For street improvements, $113.600
of the $sO1.037 requested by the
Commissioners in their original esti-
mates has been granted by the COM
mittee. For repairs to streets and
suburban roads the figure which
passed through the committee was
$63l, 900. although the Commission
ers had requested 100000.
The bureau of the budget cut the
Commissioners only $4,000 for this
item. reporting favorably to Congress

this estimate, however. to $soo.0oo

W. R. & E. Gives Up Suburban
Traffic-CapitaI Traction
Fighting Off Tie-Ups.

With few exceptions the street
car lines Of the District were snow
bound today.
At noon the Washington Railway
and Electric Company, which con-
trolls practically all of the suburban
trackage. announced that it would
be unable to operate any service to
the outlying districts, but hoped to
keep some cars running on the city
lines
Latest reports show twenty-six
Washington Railway and Electric
cars forced off the track by the
snow, twenty-one stranded from
lost plows, and many others tied up
as the result Of these derailments.
]. H. Hanna, vice president of the
Capital Traction Company, said that
that company expected to operate
some service throughout the day, but
he could give NO assurance as to how
bad the tie-upD might become.
IF we have a. strong wind on top
of this snowfall" said Mr.. Hanna,
I'VE will be in a more serious stu
alton, because the wind would blow
the snow into the slot-rails."

A striking illustration of the tie
up was given by Mr.. Hanna, when
he said that it took him two hours

Heated Discussion Develops
Over Proposal to Purchase
Muscle Shoals Project

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Senators
supporting and opposing Henry Fords

ernment's war-initiated projects at
Muscle Shoals, Ala, clashed today in
a two hour heated discussion Of ways
and means of developing the projects
for peace time operations.
Senator Underwood OF Alabama.

to vote for acceptance of the Detroit
manufacturers proposal before con-
gress adjourned Senator Norris of
Nebraska, chairman OF the agricultur-
al committee investigating Ford's pro-
posal in connection with other offers
for Muscle Shoals, also went on rec
ord. He declared he was opposed to
the acceptance of the Ford tender, or
to any other which would have the
effect OF selling properties costing
the people $106,000,000 for $5,000,000." )"
and leasing those not sold to private
interests for a period of 100 years.
Senator Norris spoke at length on
the Ford offer, and introduced a reso-
luton which the senate adopted, call
ing upon the federal trade commission
to investigate and report as to wheth-
er any monopoly existed to control
the production OF fertilizers, or to en-
hance prices.
Senator Norris announced that the
investigation OF Muscle Shoals pro-
posals was about to be concluded by
the agricultural committee and strong
ly defended the course the committee
had taken in making its examination.

Agreement of COP. Leaders
to Have Measure Follow

NAVAL BILL GOES OVER
Majority Senators Dilatory
Tactics on Bonus Given
Severe Scoring

= WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE sol.
diers bonus fight broke unexpected
in the senate today when Demo-
cratic senators attacked the reported
compromise agreement of Republican
leaders not to call up the measure
next Monday but to have it follow
the tariff bill.
For two hours the party leaders
clashed, but with no effect except
for additional indications that the Re-
publican plan would prevail 1t was
openly declared by some of those
present, however, that an effort
would be made to call up the bill
next week; the situation was further
complicated by the failure of the
senate today to dispose of the naval
bill, which went over until oMnday,
largely because of today's protracted
discussion of the bonus.
The senate fray followed confer
ences between President Harding and
Republican leaders, at which the
president was assured that Mondays
conference of the Republican senators
would result in holding the tariff be.
