M'NARY- Y-HAUGEN BILL
DEFEAT Is FORECAST
Supporters Casting About for Suit
able Substitute if Measure
Is Rejected.
COOLIDGE AID IS DOUBTFUL
Friends of Farm Relief Proposal
Seek Help for New Program.

Admitting that the McNary- -Haugen
farm relief bill may be defeated, some
House supporters Of the measure be-
gan looking around today for a sub
stitute.
Representative Tincher of Kansas,
a member of the House agriculture
committee. and the Republican steer
ing committee, who has been leader
in the fight for the measure, conferred
with Secretary Wallace, sponsor Of
the proposal. The Secretary was told
that the outlook was dark" al
though enough votes might be lined
up to pass the bill.
The Kansas representative said he
believed that If the measure is re-
jected every effort should be made to
put through some farm relief measure
before the end of the session, now
scheduled for a week from Saturday
Thus far, no proposal has been ad-
vanced, he said. which would be like
ly to command a majority In both the
House and Senate.
The McNary- Haugen bill has been
laid aside by the House for other
legislation, but will be taken up
again Thursday, with a vote likely
before the end of the week. In the
event of its defeat, Mr.. Tincher is OF
the opinion it would be possible to
agree on substitute in time to OBJ
tain House and Senate action during
the coming week.
Coolidge Aid Doubtful.
Efforts probably will be made to
obtain President Coolidge's views as
to what should be done. Some friends
of the McNaryHaugen bill said they
thought 1t unlikely that he would
come out in it's support, but they
predicted that he might lend his aid
In working out a substitute program.
A White House conference with this
end in view, it was said, may be
held within the next few days.
Adjournment of Congress before
the June conventions, leaders gem
orally agreed. depends on farm leg
islation. If no action is had be-
fore June it appears certain
that members of the House and Sem
ate farm blocs would oppose ad-
tournament. An adjournment resolu-
tion could be forced to a vote in
the House, but a filibuster could pre-
vent action in the Senate.
Those interested in the movement
to find an alternative for the Nc
-Haugen bill contend the prob
lem can as well be worked out dur
ing the next ten days as during a
summer session.

FARE-CUT HEARINGS

subcommittee, Opposes Mac
Kellar Measure.
COMMITTEE MAY NOT ACT.
Author to Offer Proposal as Amend
ment to D. C. Bill.

Hearings on the McKellar scent
street car fare bill for the District
of Columbia, which have been con-
Quoted by the public utilities sub
committee of the Senate District COM
mittee for several months, were con-
cluded today, when w. F. Ham, presi-
dent of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company, concluded his tes-
timony.
Senator Mcclellan. author of the
bill, who has been a constant attend
ant at the hearings and who has
questioned the witnesses, was not
present today. He announced several
weeks ago that he would Offer his
five-cent street car fare bill as an
anne ndment to the District appropria-
tion bill no matter what the District
committee might do with the street
car fare bill, or whe ther the hearings
were concluded or not
The District appropriation bill has
been reported to the Senate and is ex-
pected to come up for consideration
today or tomorrow, and Senator Nc
Kellar is expected to try to have his
anne ndment A point of order it is
expected, will be made against the
proposed amendment on the ground
that IT is general legislation sought
in an appropriation bill.
Committee May Not Act.
1t is not considered likely that the
District committee itself will take
any action on the Mcclellan bill at
the present session, with probable
adjournment of Congress less than
two weeks off.
Mr. Ham reiterated today his state
ment that a five-cent fare, with six
tickets for a quarter, as proposed
by Senator Mcclellan. would make 1t
impossible for the street car lines
to continue to operate. He presented
figures showing that the Washington
Railway and Electric Company in the
ten-year period ending with 1923, had
earned $3,829,33 less than per cent
on the fair valuation of the property
as fixed by the Public Utilities Com
mission of the District; that it had
been short s382.933 on an average
each year of making such a return,
which, he declared, was no more than
a fair return.
Ham Shows Profits.
Mr.. Ham showed also that the Capt.
tai Traction Company, which is popu-
larly supposed to have been reaping
big harvest in recent years, earned
only $780, 600 a year in the last decade
over Z per cent return on its val
uation as fixed by the Public Utilities
Commission.
Combining the earnings of the two
companies over such a period and
their valuations as fixed by the COM
mission, Mr.. Ham said, showed that
they had together been short of a Z
per cent return on their valuation of
$2O2,2S6 a year.
Mr.. Ham laid before the commit
tee figures to show that taxes paid
by the street railway companies and
expenses of maintaining crossing po-
lice had nearly doubled since 1914.
He showed, too, that the cost of
coal, which is needed to provide mo-
tive power, has increased from 1925
per gross ton delivered in Washing
ton in 1914 to $6.79 at present, an
increase Of 106 per cent.

Recovery of Aunt
Sally, First of U. S.
Steamboats,, Sought

By the Associated Press.
FAIRLEE, VT. May 26.,-Search
will be made this summer for the
nrst American steamboat, which
according to Vermont tradition
lies at the bottom of Lake Morey
here. 1t is not the Clermont, but
the Aunt Sally, which tradition
says was a steam driven. paddle
wheel craft capable of five miles
an hour, built by Samuel Morey
Of Fairlee, fourteen years before
Fulton's boat startled the Indians
along the Hudson.
Vermonters say that Fulton saw
the Aunt Sally and had Morey
demonstrate it in New York. When
credit for the invention was, ac-
cording to tradition, stolen from
him, Morey is said to have loaded
the small boat with stones and to
have sunk it in the lake which
bears his name.
