HAMMOND MAY BE
Continued from PAGE One)

his nme has been eliminated from the
list Of probable selections. The name
of Miles PoindeXter. now ambassador
TO Peru, who as senator from Wash
inSton served as acting chairman of
the senate naval committee in the
last congress, also has been brought
forward and likewise eliminated in
official discussion because of the
presidents desire to retain him at his
present post.
Slight belief exists in official quar-
ters that Theodore Roosevelt, assist
ant secretary of the navy. will be
elevated to the secretaryship. Mr..
Coolidge let it be known today that
he expected him to remain as assist
ant secretary although demand was
made in the senate during the day by
Senator Harrison, Democrat, Missis-
sippi, that Mr.. Roosevelt also resign.
The resignation of Secretary DENLY
was the subject of Il statement to-
night by Cordell Hull, chairman Of
the Democratic national committee
who declared President Coolidge owed
"A debt Of gratitude to the Damo-
cratic party for having set in motion
the irresistible force of public opin-
ion, resulting in the rosienat ton OF
Secretary DENLY, the first act in
needed house cleaning Of the Ropub-
lican national administl alton"
On the face of the letters which
passed between President Coolidge
and Secretary DENLY. II is apparent
that the president would have done
nothing of his own voiition to bring
about Secretary Denby's resignation
or to summarily remove him from
his cabinet" said chairman Hull.
by expressing his regret to part
with Secretary DENLY and giving him
n clean bill of health in the matter OF
naval oil leases, by praising the sense
Of public duty and his fine sense Of
loyalty the president seems to put
the seal of his approval on Secretary
Denby's defiant statement that he
would do the same thing over again.
THE same force of public opinion
created by the oil investigation so ef-
flciently and successfully conducted
by Senator Walsh OF Montana and
his Democratic associates on the
committee should continue to nike it.

the Navy Theodore Roosevelt and At

Reparation Expert
PrObers Progress
Toward Solution

Paris. Feb 19.-(By A. P)-The ex-
pert committees are making excellent
progress toward a tangible conclusion
as to how to put Germany in the way
to pay separations.
The subcommittee on the budget
and currency continued their work &C
lively today with the expectation of
having completed draft of their find
ings ready for submission to the full
committee tomorrow.
The railroad experts also have near
" finished their task and will submit
their final report on Thursday at the
latest. The full committee plans to
consider it Friday and to hear the eX-
perts concerning ii on Saturday.
The subcommittee on the proposed
German gold bank heard DR.. Schacht,
president of the German Reichbank,
this afternoon and discussed his plan
to eventually consolidate his gold bank
with that planned by the committee of
experts. DR.. Schacht will return to
Paris next week when the committees
plan will be disclosed to him and dis
Cussed in connection with his own. DR..
Schacht has promised that in organ
izing his gold bank he will take the
plan of the committee into account so
that it can be absorbed eventually by
the other institution.
The experts have not committed
themselves in any way to the Schatch
plan and it is said by the spokesman
for the experts that they take no re-
sponsihility for the details of that plan
as published. General Dawes full
committee will meet tomorrow morn
ing.
The second committee, headed by
Reginald McKenna, is holding two SEES
sions dav and it's work is nearer
conclusion than that OF the budget
committee.

Brewster. Mr.. Brewster i'm opening
said the very foundation Of
Americanism was for the individual
to think for himself and be careful
to preserve liberty of speech and
thought. In his opening remarks he
referred briefly to the various
causes of unrest at the present time
and then said that the development
of the educational idea was the
greatest achievement of America,
that the public schools were open
to all. good enough for all. and at
tended by all. Mr.. Brewster then
told in detail of the proposed amend
ment to the State constitution and
said just so long as we send leaders

soon may never be passed. That we
do not propose to give funds to one
class ana not to the other, we want

friends. He said that what ever his
opponents might resort to he had
never resorted to abuse and did not
intend to. He said the school funds
should be distributed without res
pect TO sect or creed. Mr. Brewster
said there was n great lack Of reli-
gious education in the public schools
and advocated the plan used in Bar
Harbor of giving the scholars one
hour a~week to go to their respec-
tive churches for religious instruc-
ton. Mr.. Brewster said his cry was
for peace and that we should begin
by cooperation and not by coer-
c!on.

WHAT A kILoWArT HOUR is

Users of electricity-and that in
cludes just about all of us-fnd it diff
fcult to understand the term, "kilo-
watt hour"
"Kilowatt hour" is term used to
indicate the electrical unit of work and
is thousand watt hours.
A watt represents the rate of work
done by one ampere under the pres
sure of one volt A volt is the unit of
electromotive force. An ampere repre-
sents the quantity of electricity, which
will flow through certain resistance
when one volt of pressure is applied
Voltage is equivalent to pressure.
Amperage is equivalent to volume
The product of the two indicate guam
tity, called the wattage. Line voltage
for lighting purposes is usually ITO
volts. An ordinary electric lamp re-
quires about fve-elevenths of an am
pere for proper operation. Multiply
ing ITO by Sill gives the quantity of
electricity to heat the flament of the
lamp to incandescence. In this case
so watts would be necessary, and if
the how continued one hour, the meter
would register 50-watt hours of cur
rent. Burn the lamp for 20 hours and
the electricity consumed amounts to
1000 watt hours, or one kilowatt hour,
kilo meaning one thousand.

MORE MONEY FOR GROWERS

When a Wenatchee attorney for

successful suit against the re-
ceiver of the Wenatchee Valley
Fruit Exchange last winter. to
have those growers in the pool
shipments made preferred credit.
ors, he made the statement that his
search of the Exchange records
made it apparent to him that a
double commission had been
charged on the sale of part of the
fruit. After winning the first
suit, he offered to bring a suit on
the commission charge on a fifty
fifty basis. Most of the growers
interested authorized him to pro-
ceed on that basis The suit was
recently decided in the growers
favor, the attorney recovering lie
per box. Checks were received
this week by j. F. Coleman for
the various amounts for distrib-
ution among the local growers in
terested. The total amount recov-
cred for growers in this valley
amounted to about $3.50, distribu-
ted among about dozen growers.

FILE PETITION FOR
REHEARING IN WATER CASE

F. ]. Bonn, secretary of the Han
ford Water Right Owners committee,
has received the following letter from
attorney Carroll B. Graves of Seattle,
under date of July 21st:-
"The Block Rock company people
apparently have no further suggestion
or proposition regarding an adjust
ment. At least, on last week they filed
their petition for rehearing in the
United States Curcuit Court of Ap-
peals. If the court wishes to hear from
us on this petition, it will order us to
file an answer to the petition; other
wise, it will be denied by the court.
This is the usual and customary prac-
tise."
The filing of the petition for the re-
hearing by the Black Rock company
does not necessarily mean that the
petition will be granted and even
though it is granted it does not mean
that the court WILL in any manner
modify or change the opinion it has
already handed down. But as Judge
Graves points out, the court may re-
quire him to file an answer to the
petition, which will involve some fur
ther expense on the part of the water
right owners.
