BILL
IS BEING
DRAFTED
Development Of Power at
Great Falls Is Proposed
for District.

A continuous flow Of electrical
power, more than sufficient for
the needs Of the District Of Co
lumbia for a period Of sixty
years, can be obtained through a
hydroelectric plant at Great Falls,
even during periods of low water.
it is shown by Investigations, The
results of which are being in
corporated in q bill to be intro
duced in the House soon.
Two Dams Proposed.
This complete project calls for
erection of two dams and provision
Of three great storage reservoirs.
Various combinations of dams and
storage reservoirs under this
system could be used to secure
power which would supplement,
but not supplant, existing steam
power stations, it is stated.
The project, which was developed
by Major M. c. Tyler, of tho army
engineer corps, Is being made the
basis Of bill to be introduced by
Congressman Frederick N. Zihlman.
of Maryland, and r. Walton Moore,
Of Virginia.
p The project. In its complete
form, calls for erection Of q dam
us feet high across the Potomac
at the District line and another
100 feet high at Great Falls, Inn
mediately below the present dam.
Power Plants At Dams.
At each of these dams power
plants would be located, acting as
independent units. One of these
dams could be constructed indie.
pendently Of the other and furnish
q great adjunct to the present
power supply.
To secure an even flow Of water
| during dry periods 1t would be
necessary to either supply storage
reservoirs or call upon auxiliary
steam plants to meet the peak de.
manda.
1t is proposed to construct great
supply reservoirs on the upper
Potomac and its tributaries, The
most feasible sites shown by the
Investigations are on the Greai
Cacapons beyond Martinsburg. w
Va; on the north fork of the Shen
andoah river, near Brooks GAP
and on the south branch of the
Potomac, below Cumberland. Md.
Estimate Of Power.
Through this complete system II
Is estimated that 10000, 900 kilo-
watt hours Of continuous power
could be produced at the power
house switchboards, irrespective OF
the volume of river flow.
With 1O% power loss in trans.
mission this would give q flow of
100000 kilowatt hours delivered
In the District. 1t is estimated
that at the present rate of increase
In consumption this volume would
take care Of all the needs Of the
District for the next sixty years
without further development.

CHANCE IN
STORY IS
CITED
Father-in-LaW Of Kenney Was
Under Suspicion Since
coroner's Inquest.

Thomas ("Tony'') Marocker,
Italian father-in-law Of Daniel
Kenney, whose body, shot and
stabbed, was found Tuesday
morning in patch of woods near
Falls Church, was arrested at
noon today in connection with the
killing and taken to the Office Of
Wilson Farr, prosecuting attcr-
ney of Fairfax county.
Farr declined to announce what
charge would be placed against
Marocker.
Acted On New Evidence.
New evidence obtained late lasO
night, F,arr said, had warranted
the arrest. He would not dtvulge
the information other than to say
that it was most important.
The arrest was not unexpected TO
the Fairfax county citizens who
had been following developments IN
the investigation Of the Sleepy Hol-
low mystery.
Alleged restrictions Of statements
made on the witness stand by Ma
rocker, at the coroner's inquest held
for three days at Falls Church.
turned suspicion toward him. Ma
rocker recently served a sixty-day
sentence on charges Of stabbing
Kenney.
At the closing session Of the In
quest yesterday Marocker upon ad-
vice of his counsel refused to give
further testimony.
The counsel, 1t was understood
had been obtained for him by Pierre
Taulelle and Charles Claveloux,
members of the little French colony
in which Marocker lived and from
whom he rented his small home.
The coroner's jury found that
Kenney met with death at the hands
of q person or persons unknown
No recommendations were made IN
the verdict.
Marocker speaks only . Few
words OF English. His daughter
served as interpreter for him g rms
inquest.

THE BLACK CAT
SUPERSTITION

For those who believe in the
black cat superstition H. SMITH
tells this one:
A number Of mutual friends
were assembled last New Year
eve. They were exchanging remi-
niscences. One Of them told Of
a visit to a palmist shortly after
the ill-fated Titanic went down.
The palmist told him he had mar
rowly escaped being one of the
victims. The palmist, he said,
was right. The man wanted to
make a trip abroad and desired
to work his way over as a stoker.
He was asked to sign q contract
to do SO. While thinking over
the matter he saw a black cat
leap to the Titanic from the
wharf and hide somewhere in the
vessel. He refused to sign and
went over on a sailing vessel.

Delay in recognizing the Bu-

standing by which s.ction upon
the Caraway investigation reso-
luton was held in abeyance-is

Up to the present Director Louis
n. Hill has resigned but has not
yet relinquished his office; Assistant
Director Perry remains in office as
does Joseph McCanley, one of the
Brewer of the Department Of JUS
tice. All of these men were slated
to go under the agreement between
Senator Caraway and various bffi-
cials of the Treasury Department.
Caraway Restive.
: Unless there is prompt action
Senator Caraway probably will in
aiat, on discussing his resolution pro-
vided for an investigation. He in
tends to introduce 4 in the Senate
next week; a bill giving back
salaries to the twenty eight dis
charged employees when they are
reinstated.
The bill will be so phrased as to
make up for these employees the
difference between their salaries in
the Government service and what
they have earned since in private
employment.
It is not intended to give to them
aM Of their accumulated back pay.
