limit of their authority to relieve the
bad traffic situation.
All that is reasonable for schools,
police, streets and sewers and the
water supply will be allowed in the
bill, members of the subcommittee
have assured District officials. Chair
man Davis is especially interested in
sewer extensions, in view Of the ex-
tenSive building operations. He feels
that sewer extensions are even more
important than street extensions, be-
cause 1t is unwise to build houses
without sewers, whereas people can
wait while for improved streets,
according to his way of looking at II.
DR.. George W. Bowerman hurried
back to Washington from Chicago
last night to be ready to testify be-
fore the subcommittee on the needs
of the Washington Public Library. He
probably will be heard Tuesday
morning.
The snowstorm which caused the
streets to become clogged has de1aytd
the subcommittee from making a
personal inspection of the streets
which need repairs. This may result
in the District appropriation bill be-
ing delayed until the following week
Chairman Davis said last night that
the subcommittee wants to view the
roads when they are in p fair con-
dition.

Maryland and Ernest w. Gibson Of
Vermont have also asked to be heard
on this subject and are prepared to
urge that the budget recommendation
of 100000 for park sites be increased
to at least $1,00o,oO0. Frederic A.
Delano, chairman of the Committee
of One Hundred on Development of
the National Capital; Evan H. Tucker,
for 80 years president of the North
east Washington Citizens Association,
and Frederick c.. Coldren, chairman
of the Washington Board of Trade
committee on parks, have also asked
for a hearing.
1t will be pointed out that as the
National Capital parks commission
was authorized more than seven
months ago, the budget figures of
100000 to be made Immediately
available would mean only that much
for two years. whereas the legisla-
tion creating the commission spe-
cifcally contemplated an appropria-
tion of 81, 100000 each year
Representative Gibson will urge
particularly the urgent need for ac-
Qutrfng the Piney Branch, Klingle
Ford and Patterson tracts for park
purposes, since he was chairman of
a special subcommittee of the House
legislative committee on the District,
which Investigated this phase of the
park system, particularly.
The committee will be told that
there are scores of other plots of
land that should be promptly secured

Regardless of what the British may

The three Americans are regarded
as exceptionally well qualified to rep

Is potnted out that since the finance
ministers are called to meet Tor the
specifc purpose of allocating funds

from an American viewpoint or all
others to be considered.

The slain woman is Hahne's second
wife. His first wife died in New
York in 1911. The Bureau of Vital
Statistics here declared her a suicide.

because a number or building opera
tions threaten to cut across the pro-
jected parkways. as well as to pre-
vent the denuding of forest areas
about the Capital and destroying
springs and water courses.
Emphasis will be laid on the fact
that this commi ssion, especially in
the hrst few years, ought to be given
every dollar of the intended million
annually. so as to catch up on long
neglected parkway connections. 1t
will, also be forcefully pointed out
that steps are under way in Maryland
and Virginia to authorize co-opera-
ton between these States and the
Federal commission in parkway de-
velopments. For this reason the Ma
tional Capital park commission ought
to be assisted in cleaning up on the
waiting work in Washington before
the more extensive developments in
adjacent States are taken up.
The District judges are summoned
to appear before the subcommittee
tomorrow or Tuesday, when they will
be questioned closely regarding the
disposition Of cases Of traffic violations
brought before them. The subcom-
mittee is determined to do all 1t can
to make a short cut to relieve what
has been called criminal conditions
now existing" Several members of
the subcommittee have been studying
data supplied them so as to be pre-
pared to cross-eXamine the judges
who have been accused at the hear
lngs Of having failed to adequately
support the police in enforcing the
traffic laws and regulations.
This emphasizes the opinion Of the
subcommittee that a very consider
able increase in the police force must
be allowed and that a regular traffic
force is badly needed. The subcom.

Light Rains Today
Due to Transform

The District is about to undergo
at least day Of gross discomfort
II the prediction Of the Weather
Bureau last night OF light rains
FOR today holds true. The rains will
be accompanied by q rise in tenn
perature and the two forces will
join hands in changing the heavy
snow into slush. Last niEht a
noticeable upward trend in the
mercury created pools Of slush and
water at many street crossings
and other places because the heavy
packed snow had prevented a dow
to the sewers.
The Weather Bureau also stated
that there is no cold weather in
sight, which means no snow for a
little while. The forecaster was
further convinced that the precipi-
tation predicted for today and pos
sibly tomorrow would be followed
by clear weather.

4,27o,oo horsepower. That is, the
installation in water wheels and in
steam engines in the Southern States
at the present time Is approximately
equal to the estimates OF its poten-
tial water-power resources.
Due, however, to the fact that ex-
listing installations produce Il con-
tinuous energy output of only part
of their rated capacity, there Is still
a considerable margin left between
the waterpower resources Of these
States and their total power require
ments. The margin, nevertheless, Is
not sufficient to make 1t a matter of
Indifference whether the energy
available from the $4,000 horse
power of proposed installation at
Muscle Shoals is or Is not to go into
the general utility market Of the
South.
Alternative Is Offered.
The alternative to this method of
handling the proposition would be a
concentrated industrial development
at Muscle Shoals, repeating In the
South the mistake made at Niagara
Falls in concentrating cheap hydro
electric energy In limited territory
for electro-chemicaf processes and
requiring general industries. trans
portation and domestic service to
rely largely on higher-cost steam
power.
In the early days Of electrical de-
velopment in this country, another
great power site-that at Niagara
FalIs-was developed by a private
corporation without being subject to
public control At present, more than
! three-fourths of the energy generat-
ed on the American side at Niagara
Falls is wholesaled to Industrial cor
porations within the city of Niagara
Falls under longterm contracts, and
less than % per cent Of the energy
is available for general public serv-
ice in the adjacent territory.
While the cheapest hydro electric
power on this continent is being de-
Iveloped at Niagara Falls, the city of
Buffalo, a few miles distant, supplies
it's citizens primarily with steam
generated power.
Holds Step Mistake.
The power site at Muscle Shoals
will develop the greatest block of
power at the cheapest rate availab BILE
anywhere in the South. 1t will be a
! grave mistake, the President has
been advised by his cabinet officers
who are best informed on this sub
ject-such as the Secretaries of War,
the Interior, Agriculture and Com
| merce-and step detrimental to the
best interests Of the entire South, 70

Shoals.
The development Of the South as
| a whole and the widespread utiliza-
tion of electric energy in small in
dustries, homes and on farms and
plantations, is of greater value from

and convenience and producing
wealth than any concentrated indus

of regulation out altogether The
Underwood substitute provides for
regulation by the Alabama State
commission if the lessee of the prop
erty sells part of it to consumers. If,
however, the lessee uses the power
for his own purposes or sold it to
tenants on the property under lease,
or wholesaled it to a distributing
company, he would be specifically ex-
smpted from rate or service regula-
tion under the provisions of the Ala
bama public service law.
To operate the nitrate plants now
existing at Muscle Shoals TO full ca
pacity would require 500,000,000 to
soc, 900, 600 kilowatt hours per annum,
or not more than one-half the energy
that can be produced by dam No. 2
and the steam plant at Sheffield. Re-
cent developments in manufacture of
nitrates are away from power. They
are using less and less horsepower
ali the time in the synthetic produc-
ton until some processes use very
little power at all.
More to Sell.
SO the probabilities are that the
development in the processes of nj
trate production will be such as to
require constantly smaller and still
smaller quantities of electric energy,
and, therefore, there will continually
be a constantly increasing amount Of
energy available to sell.
The location of Muscle Shoals is
such that with the opportunities for
additional development. particularly
with regard to storage on the Tennes-
see River, 1t could be made the most
important factor in a superpower sys-
l.
which would not only cover areas now
supplied, but additional areas to the
south and west-such as Mississippi
and Louisiana and the western part
of the State of Tennessee. Unless
there is a very considerable increase
in hydro-electrical development, it is
scarcely possible that Mississippi and
Louisiana can be added to the super
power zone of the South. There will
not be enough water resources avail
able for such extension without en-
ploying in the southern superpower
zone the Tennessee River power.
Figures on yyaterpower Resources.
The United States Geological Sur
vey estimates the waterpower re-
sources of the six Southern States of
Tennessee, North Carolina, South Car
olina Alabama, Georgia and Missis-
sippi as approximately 100000 horse
power This figure does not include,
however, additional power that may
be produced by storage. The total,
therefore, is doubtless in excess OF
1900, 600 horsepower. The Census
Bureau reports that the central sta
tion companies in these States in
1922 had an installation of 1,720,000
horsepower, and that the manufactur-
ing establishments in these States in
1919 had an installation of $500
Horsepower, Or an aggregate OF
