Cars Squeeze Onto Silver Street

Although Silver street from Main
to Charles streets has a nice smooth
surface very little of that surface is
in evidence during the greater part
OF the day and evening due to the
fact that automobile drivers over
anxious to park their vehicles leave
them half out into the roadway. The
street Is narrow but would be Of
ample width for two cars to pass il
the standing vehicles were only
parked parallel and closer to the
curb. AS 1t is used at the present
time often some driver leaves his
car so that a line Of cars moving in
one direction has to stop and wait
for a line moving In the opposite
direction to pass a given point,
namely the rear end Of carelessly
parked automobile.

THE REPUBLICAN VICTORY
Tune: Yankee Doodle"
Not one word was said against Bax-
ter's administration.
Whlcn proves that Democrats do know
what's best for State and nation.
Democrats tried hard to beat Senator
Ralph Brewster;
Knocked and knocked and knocked and
knocked, but ev'ry knocks boos
Brewster kept the Golden Rule, stood
on the constitutions;
was loyal to the stars and stripes that
wave DER the State and nation;
Gentlemen and politics rarely go to-
gether.
So the people swarmed the polls and
cast their votes for Brewster.
They put Brewster on the rear of the
old band wagon, sir;
He climbed on top the G.. o. r. and now
he's Govnor Brewster:
Five or six years hence you'll see, Tn
Gle Sam will send him
OH to Washington. d. c., to do his busi-
ness for him.
Barleycorn received a blow that Grip
pied him forever:
He'll never dare to show his head in
Maine because of Brewster:
Now for victory well Shout, Long live
Gov'nor Brewster,
Thank the Lord we're safe in Maine.
Republicans forever!
Fifteen times Coolidge has run for pub
lie office. too. sir,
And ne'er was beaten in the race: Of
course we'll all remember
Calvin Coolidge, brave and true, honest
Cal forever:
Faithful to our Uncle Sam, he'll win
out next November.

Z
BOND Of
$4,000
Consul General Ryder Now
Involved, as He Signed
Admission Papers

Consul General Fred M. Ryder,
at Vancouver, British Columbia,
today was drawn into what was
termed "gross negligence or
fraud" in permitting Chinese to
enter the United States, through
testimony offered against David
G. Kerr, vice consul under Ryder,
before United States Commits
sioner Needham Turnage. Kerr
Is charged with using his influ-
ence to cause exempt vises" to
BE- issued to Cinnamon not entitled
to them.
Rider Signed Vises, Charge.
1t was developed at today's hear.
ing, at the conclusion of which
Vice Consul Kerr was held for the
grand jury in the sum of $4,000. that
Consul General Ryder signed all of
the vises which are now challenged.
While Consul General Ryder was
present at the latter part Of the
hearing, he did not hear some of
the testimony offered which tended
to iInplicate him. When it was re.
lated to him he said that he signed
all of the vises on the Recommendation
of either Kerr or Luther K. Arthur,
also vice consul at the consulate.
Consul General Ryder said he was
'astounded" when he read in the
Washington newspapers of the ar
rest of Kerr. He said that it was
the first hint he had that any ir-
Irregularities were suspected concern
ing his consulate.
He admitted that he had been in
the city for five weeks at tho re-
quest of the department.
Alleged Confession Real.
Those who testified against Kerr.
who has been confined at the Dis
trict Jail in default of $4,000 bond
since he surrendered himself to
United States Commissioner Turnage
Thursday, were: John L. Zurbrick,
assistant commissioner immigration
at Seattle; Edward j. Norton, of
the consular inspection service, and
j. Fred Sanders, who described
himself as "a notary public"
The evidence presented against
Kerr was a. confession which it
was charged he NroIe, signed, and
delivered to Inspector Norton.
In this confession Kerr admits
accepting $50 from Notary Public
Sanders "for using his influence in
obtaining wise for a Chinaman by
the name Of Chin Jan Yuen."
Admissions Brought Arrest.
While attempts were made by
Bertram Emerson, counsel for Kerr,
TO bring out from Inspector Norton
the fact that Kerr was promised ito
be taken care of" If he confessed to
taking the money from Sanders, the
inspector insisted on trying to give
the United States commissioner the
impression that Kerr wrote the con-
1ession voluntarily and without
promise or reward or any other
consideration.
It was brought out at the hear
ing that 1t was first noticed in
December. 1921, that an excessive
number Of Cinnamon were being
admitted to the United States on
certificates vised by the Vancouver
consulate. and that the investiga-
ton which led Thursday to Kerr's
arrest has been afoot since that
time.
Sanders. the principal witness
against Kerr. admitted at the hear
ing today that he makes a business
OF trying to get Cinnamon into
the United States. He did not di.
vulge why he had decided to betray
Kerr.

ASKS FOR
ST(u)YOF
HYDRO
Consulting Engineer, Calling
Tyler Estimates Low, Would
Delay Great Falls Project

Deeper study Of development of
hydroelectric power in the ,Po-
tomac should be made before the
proposed plants at Chain Bridge
and Great Falls are constructed.
This testimony was given before
the special subcommittee of the
House District Committee today
by M. O. Leighton, consulting
engineer.
Made Survey Then.
Mr.. Leighton in 1911 made a sur.
vey Of Great Falls with a view to
development for hydroelectric pur.
poses. under direction of the geo.
logical survey. He told the com
mittee that tho development Of the
falls may be made TO produce
l,lOO,OOO,OOO kilowatt hours of elec-
trio current annually. and that the
cost OF current could be reduced
below the present price. This de.
velopment, he pointed out, is con.
tingent upon the securing Of q mar.
nOt AOA lHO current within q snort
distance of Washington.
In his opinion, the time has not
yet come for the development Of
| Great Falls by either the Govern.
ment or private interests.
He declared that his Investigation
showed that the estimates of cost
Tor development of the hydroelectric
system, prepared by Major M. C..
Tyler. District army engineer. are
too low. The Tyler estimate for the
entire project, including three stor.
are reservoirs, is $44, 1000, 900.
Leighton declared that this figure
should be increased to $57,700, 900,
an increase Of approximately 30 Der
cent. This increase in cost, he
pointed out, would also cause an in.
crease in the price of hydroelectric
current above the Tyler estimate and
would materially reduce the ex.
pected saving to result from con.
struction Of the plant.
He suggested an amendment to
the bill now pending before the
committee authorizing construction
OF the plant. His amendment would
give the Federal power commission
authority to make further investi.
cation Of the Tyler plan and to
abandon or to postpone the project
II this investigation proves it mad.
