QUITS TOMORROW
Submission of Majority Re-
port to President Ends Com
missions Deliberations.

The Muscle Shoals Commission will
pass out of existence tomorrow, when
President Coolidge will be rendered
the commissions majority report.
The minority report is not expected
to be sent to the White House until
some time later.
A final meeting of the commission
has been called for II o'clock tomor-
row, when the final draft of the re-
port will be prepared. William Nc
Clellan and Harry A. Curtis compose
the minority Of the commission. Mr..
Mcclellan was In Washington early
today, but left for New York after
informing the commission that he
would not sign the ma jority report
and could not attend the meeting to-
morrow.
Although the two minority mem
bers will join in submitting the mi
nority report, their recommendations
for dispoSing Of Muscle Shoals differ
materially.
Mcclellan holds that the primary
use of Muscle Shoals should be the
sale of power revenue to the Treasury
and the manufacture of fertilizer
should be secondary. Curtis opposes
the manufacture Of fertilizer at
Muscle Shoals unless the operating
concern is required to pay rental and
other charges so that they would be
on an even level OF competition with
private fertilizer manufacturers.
If this is not done he favors holding
the nitrate plant IN a standby condi-
ton for Use as national defense in
emergencies. Both Curtis and Nc
Clellan are opposed to Government
operation under any circumstances.

In the preliminary proposals for the
campaign it has been suggested that

tablished in each of the following
places: Georgetown. Petworth, Mount

Southeast Washington, Northeast
Washington and, possibly, somewhere
among the suburbs in the Brookland
district. This program would, of
course, require & large staff of engin-
eerS.
Careful tabulation has shown that
there Is an abundance Of biturninous
coal Coke Is plentiful, too, and there
is tendency in the markets of that
product toward a drop in price as a
result Of the public's almost unani-
nous turning toward soft coal AL
though it Is quite possible that the
selected screened sizes Of bituminous
may run short late in the Winter.
there will always be plenty of run
of-thenine" grade, which experience
has shown to be equally as good, once
It settles in the furnace.
All bituminous coal, whether 1t is
screened and selected or "run-of- the
mine" runs together as soon as it
starts burning, according to experts.
After being shown how to burn the
cheaper grades of bituminous, dealers
declare, the public will experience no
trouble This, 1t is added, will assure
Washington keeping warm this Win
ter whether the anthracite strike ends
or not, and it is predicted that If the
strike lasts much longer the public
will be little concerned in it, anyhow.
Thus Washington is preparing to
give the hard coal operators and
miners alike q dose Of their own
medicine" Large cities in New Eng
land and New Jersey have elready in
augurated similar campaigns. The
success that has attended them Is an
indication of how the National Cap
itars drive will fare, and everywhere
there is a determination to burn
bituminous or other substitutes until
the price of anthracite drops.

JARDINE OPPOSES PARK PLAN
FOR u. S. EXPERIMENT FARM
Fine Arts Commission Urged Taking of Land to
Beautify Virginia Approach to Memorial Bridge
Part of Improvement Plan

Adjustment of the Arlington Ex-
perimental Farm across the Highway
Bridge in Virginia and its conversion
into a park to fit into the broad
scheme for beautifyinS the approaches
to the new Memorial Bridge has
aroused serious objections from Sec
retary of Agriculture Jardine. The
general plans for the Improvement
of the area surrounding the Virginia
approaches to the Memorial Bridge.
prepared by engineer officers in
charge of the projects, have been ap-
proved by the Fine Arts Commission.
Secretary of War Davis has taken
strong personal interest in the
project and recently made an inspec
ton of the territory. Though approx
ing the plans generally, he has with
held final action in the matter be-
cause of the stand of the Department
of Agriculture and also because the
execution Of the project requires spe-
cial authorization by Congress.
Secretary Jardine takes the view
that abandonment of the experimental
farm will mean virtual waste of 80
years of concentrated effort and pro-
ductivity.
The experimental farm covers an
area of about $50 acres and is part
OF the original Arlington estate taken
over by the Government in the early
Cos. 1t is separated from the higher

the old turnpike. extending from

of the reservation and east of that
road was transferred from the War
Department to the Department of
Agriculture for experiments in va
rious phases of agriculture.

RUMAN|A'S TERMS
0NDEBT FORECAST
U. S. Expected to Propose
Funding on Same Basis as
British Settlement.

The American Government will
probably advance the British basis
as a proposal for payment of the Ru-
manian debt of about $1,000, 900 to
the United States during negotiations
now under way.
This was learned today as converse
tions were resumed between the two
governments, after being interrupted
in order to allow the Americans and
Italians to complete their negotiations
which ended successfully yesterday.
The first formal session with the
Rumanians was held last Monday
morning, when the entire Rumanian
and American commissions were in
session, and opening statements were
exchanged
This afternoon representatives of
the visiting delegation headed by N.
Iitulesco plan to confer with Secre-
tary Winston Of the American COM
mission In preliminary informal ses-
sion. Much ground will be covered
In such informal sessions, II is be-
lieved. before any meeting Of the full
commissions will be called. In fact,
1t was intirnated that q meeting Of the
two commissions would not be called
until some time next week
Indications We're that the veil of
secrecy which officials cast over the
negotiations with the Italians also will
be dropped about the Rumanian CON
versations.
1t is believed. however. that the
American commission will proceed
upon its precedent of the British basis,
which in some form or other has been
written into every agreement signed
In the case Of Belgium and Italy CON
cessiors were made in interest rates
on account Of the admitted special
conditions attaching to the cases of
these two. but all other agreements
have been substantially the same as
the first. with Great Britain.
The Rumanian debt consists Of
about $23.000,0O0 cash advances and
$l3. 100000 sale of war supplies. which
with interest. calculated at the rate Of
per cent. amounts to about S46 ,000,-
600 as OF last May.

D|PHTHER|A CASES
IN BROWN SCHOOL
Tests to Discover "CarrierS"
Ordered as Seven Pupils
Are Found III.

An outbreak Of diphtheria among
pupils of the Elizabeth V. Brown
School in Chevy Chase caused Dis
trict Health Officer William C. Fowler
today to order the medical inspection
force to take cultures of every child
measure.
Seven cases of the disease have
been discovered at the school. One
OF them is regarded as doubtful. t"
Three Of the children live in the Dis
trict and the other four in Mary
land. The majority Of the cases were
found in the fourth grade. although
an eighth grade girl is among those
believed to have the disease. A
culture showed her to be carrier. ="
While DR.. Fowler and school au-
thorities are not unduly alarmed over
the situation, parents of children at
tending the school, 1t was said, have
demanded that school officials close
the building. The health officer and
Acting Asst. Supt. of Schools Stephen
e. Kramer, however. believe that such
drastic action Is unnecessary. Mr.
Kramer pointed out that there is
more likelihood of spreading the dis
ease by closing the school than by
keeping the children in their class
rooms, where medical experts can
easily discover the carriers through
the use of cultures.
The cause Of the spread of the dis
ease at the school has not been de-
termined, Mr.. Kramer said. but a pre-
liminary investigation resulted In the
shutting off of a drinking fountain
which had lower water pressure be-
hind it, forcing the children IN nut
their mouths on the nozzle Of the
"bubbler" when drinking.
DIR. Fowler explained that diphtheria
is not as difficult to control as some
other contagious diseases, because
cultures of the throat determine
whether a person is a carrier or not.
A carrier" he said. is a person who
has the diphtheria germ in the throat.
but who is not i'll.
