VALUATION
MAY Be RAISED
inventory IN Preparation for
Rate Hearing Threatens
Lower Rates.

The valuation of the property of
the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Co., is likely to be increased
somewhat as a result of the inventory
being made in preparation of the
public hearing on telephone rates to
be held by the Utilities Com
mission, February Is, it was indicated
today
Should the valuation be revised up
dittons since the original value was
arrived at the effect would be to
lessen the possibility of rate reduc-
tions.
1t was reported today that if a
reduction is found possible after the
public hearing next month 1t probably
would not be more than 15 or 25 cents
month to household users.
The present outlook is that the
case Will hinge on the revision of the
valuation and scrutiny of operating
expenses to determine whether any
savings could be effected in that re-
spect.
The. question OF the propriety of
charging radio broadcasting to op-
Grating expenses is expected to be
brought up at the hearing. One sug-
gestion which may be put forward is
| that the cost of radio be included In
1hC y pei SeHl VI SIoSS earnings
which the local company pays an
nually to the American Telephone and
Telegraph Co. for various services
rendered by the parent concern
When preliminary hearing on tele
phone rates was held several months
ago the company contended its prop
erty should be revalued and an.
| nounced that it had already begun
making an inventory The commits
sion then decided to defer action
pending study of the inventory.

Sun Eclipse Comes

Dying Forecaster
Noted n m dteur Had

BY the Associated Press.

HACKENSACK. n. j., January 26
Andrew Jackson de Voc 80, nation
ally known amateur weather prophe I.
died at his home of heart disease yes
terday, disappointed because of fail
ure to realize one OF his life's great
est ambitions. For years he had been
looking forward to viewing the eclipse
of the sun; but when the great solar
spe ctacle came yesterday he was too
Ill to behold 1t.
For more than quarter of a CEN
tury de Voc had earned several thou
sand dollars a year by providing
copyrighted forecasts to patent medi-
cine companies issuing yearly alma
macs.
He also prepared weather predic-
tions for farmers, cotton brokers and
spectators who applied for his
services.
De Voc is said to have won his
first reputation by his prediction of
the blizzard of 1888 that buried New
York City deep in snow. He is re-
ported to have foreseen that event
by two weeks.
A few years ago De Voc visited
Washington in an effort to induce the
United States Government to adopt
his system of forecasting, which, he
asserted was superior to the one
used by the Weather Bureau. He
failed in this. however, as he neither
employed instruments nor the calcu-
lations recognized by the official fore
casters.

Unavailable.
BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN, January 26.-What is
claimed to be an invention which
renders ships unsinkable was given
a trial on Lake Constance yesterday,
says the Tageblatt. The inventor. a
German engineer named Libertrau,
installed the apparatus in a boat with
cargo of 800 kilogrammes (66O
pounds). Libertrau then sank the boat,
asserting it would reappear within
an hour. This ii did.
1t is said that the apparatus drives
the water out of the hold of Ves-
sci. The dispatch adds that details
of the invention are not available.

DANZIG, January 26-Flettner' s
rotor ship Buckau arrived here yes

distance in two days. The speed OF
the vessel averaged eight knots in a

The Buckau will leave here at the
end of the month with a cargo or

trip being the first attempt to give
the sailless vessel a thorough tryout

LOUCHEUR REPLIES
TO BORAH ON DEBT
Declares Repayment of More
Duty Even U. S. Could
Not Meet.
By the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
PARIS, January 26-Discussion of
Frances debt TO the United States
brought to a head by Deputy Marin $
speech in the chamber last week, con-
tiuued unabated today. Louis Lou
5 cheur, one of the negotiators of the
Versailles treaty, moved by Senator
Borah's reply 10 Deputy Marin's ad-
dress, is quoted by the Excelsior as
saying:
Il never contested our debt to
America. I did say that it seemed inn
possible physically and materially
that France could reimburse the
whole of that debt.
Il wish to contest only one point in
Senator Borah's statement. He says
France gained value of S100, 900. 900
by the Sarre mines. Doesn't he know
that that sum was inscribed on the
debit side of Frances balance sheet
against her claim for restoration of
the devastated regions? Furthermore
all specialists agree that the sum
thus debited is greater than the
mines real value.
Reverses Situation.
Il defy America herself to REIN
burse sum of s3,000.0OO.OO She
would be incapable, and nevertheless
the United States financial situation
Is much more solid than ours.
The Americans are we'll aware OF
this. Haven't they suggested the
constitution of a transfer committee
charged with surveillance of Ger
many's future payments? If such
conditions about exchange are oper-
AtlVe for our former enemy, why
aren't they for France?"
Alexandra Varenne, Socialist, vice
president of the Chamber of Deputies
told Excelsior:
Senator Borah pretends that the
American taxpayer is more heavily
burdened than the French. l main
tain that the French taxpayer is more
heavily assessed than the German
The problem of interallied debts
would make a big step forward il
America employed her whole energy
In making Germany pay"
LIE Journal says that France will
pay what she owes" and adds:
mo Frenchman ever sought to avoid
paying a real debt, but the whole
question is to find what exactly is
Frances debt toward her companions
in the struggle"
The governmental organ LOeuvre
says:
Says L. 5. Saw Danger.
''Mr. Borah admits his near sight
edness when he declares that the
France of Rochambeau and Lafayette
only aided America because of hatred
of England. VIII they ever make us
believe that the America of Pershing
aided France for the love of France
alone?
"A victorious Germany would have
established herself in Brazil would
have joined Japan in the Pacific and
aroused Mexico. Is not this the
danger that America combated-not for
us, but with US?
There are two parts to our debt;
dollars loaned for a war in COM
mon-'fghting dollars-and dollars
of a commercial debt imprudently
swelled after the armitice. These lat
ter incontestably we ought to reim-
burse."

its, in cartoon entitled The
Morals of Big Nations" depicts
Uncle Sam in the garb of a Persian
Apache with a star-spangled SASH de-
manding of France Fork over your

mania lies under a lamp post at the
