JOB for 0rOison

The Indianapolis mayor said that
Evans did most of the talk ng and
that all that was proposed was that
Charles j, Orbfson, the leading Indi-
ana attorney for the Khan, nominal
ly Democrat, who made a number
of speeches for Duvall, should be
named corporation counsel.
Duvall said that Evans pointed
out that Orbison had been of con-
siderable value to Duvall and should
receive consideration. Duvall pointed
out that he did not name Orbison
corporation counsel.
Reed told Duvall he desired to ask
him one question outside the pale
of the Senatorial investigation and
that he need not answer if he did
not care to. The Senator than asked
Duvall if he had made an agreement
with D. c. Stephenson relative to
patronage

Duvall emphatically declared that
this, was absolutely untrue. Abso.

The mayor added that ne had made

The Marion County grand jury to-

closer to the present
There was every indication that
the spotlight was trained upon the

Witnesses called were men who
could be expected to know little

much about what has transpired

nominated year ago last spring.

With the end of the war the
Army and Navy could have had
thousands of airplanes in service.
Numbers alone would have meant
nothing however for planes and
motors would have been, at best,
no better than those Of other
countries.
Quietly both government ser
vices have been at work to keep
the United States ahead and not
just merely abreast of the rest OF
the world in aircraft develop
ment. Both the Army and Navy
have co-operated with engine
builders such as the Packard Mo-
tor Car Company and with plane
builders in their activities and
have themselves, at McCook field
and the Naval Aircraft Factory in
Philadelphia, carried on develop
ment work entirely their own
without any fanfare of trumpets.
AS result the United States
now has two motors which are at
tracing world wide attention, the
600 hirse power Packard engine
and another Packard motor SINH

ger, developing 500 horse power;
the fastest land plane; the fastest
seaplane; the fastest and most

fastest and largest single motored
bomber; the largest land plane;
the largest flying boat; the flying
boat capable of carrying the great
est load; the only planes and
pilots capable Of being launched
into the air from a battleship
catapult; the fastest big bomber
Of any type and the fastest OBJ
servation plane.
That America would not be
helpless ih&he air should an emer.
gency arise might be indicated by
these accomplishments, when ] to
them is coupled the knowledge
that each represents a completed
development and that factories Of
the country could be put into pro-

has motor which develops as
great power for its weight or
which is more dependable.
When bridge is to be built en-.
gineers have only to turn, if me-

nautical engineers, however, have
no precedent on which to work in
developing a new airplane mo-
tor. Because of this years have
been spent in bringing the new
motor recently announced by the
Navy up to it's present state Of
perfection. Actually more time
than that was required as before
work could be started on the mo-
tor army engineers worked more
than a year with manufacturers
of bearings to develop a steel
backed bearing which would make
possible such an engine
Three years of intensive devel-
opment has resulted in an en-
CINE which can lift four times it's
own weight straight into the air.
Although it weighs but 72O
pounds it develops 615 horse po-
wer, less than one and one quar-
ter pounds per horse power. On
ly last fall the engine was rated
at 500 horse power and with this
rating was acclaimed an out-stand-
ing airplane engine among all the
aircraft motors Of the world.
Engineers of the Packard Mo-
tor Car Company, who designed
and built the engine and who
have worked with the Army and
Navy in its testing and develop
ment found that with only COM
parativeiy minor changes more
than 100 horse power could be ad.
ded to it's power output without
adding an ounce Of weight. SIM
! pie as the changes were they repre-
sent an entirely new departure in
airplane motor design and they
made possible reliable and safe
engine speed of $500 revolutions
| a minute, giving the increased po-
wer. The Navy department just
recently announced that one OF
the engines successfully passed
through a SO hour wide oper
throttle test at this speed.

WORK ASKS TO
REVISE CANYON
DAM, PROPOSAL

Observation-Disclosures to
revise the Boulder Canyon bill for
development of the Colorado river
are contained in a report on the
legislation submitted to the house
irrigation committee last Wednes-
day by Secretary Work.
In the report is an amendement
which would make optional the con-
struction of the all-American canal
in event that Mexico is unwilling
to modify the terms of the present
concession providing for trans
portation of water to the Imperial
valley. Another section provides
that rights to electrical energy de-
veloped at the dam shall not be
given to certain corporations, but
that power to allocate the develop
ed energy shall be vested in the
secretary of the interior. Secretary
Work stated that in his opinion,
the bill, as amended will consti-
tute feasible and workable meas
ure, under which the purposes
sought to be attained through this
development may be accomplished" :"
Referring to proviso in the re-
vised bill suggesting two alterna-
tives to the original method pro-
posed for generation and DISPOSE
tion of electrical energy, Mr.. Work
stated that inasmuch as the alter
natives are left wholly for later
determination, thus permitting fur
ther study, it was deemed unnec-
essary to discuss their relative
merits at this time

NEW PROPOSALS
ON BOULDER DAM
TO BE OFFERED

WASHINGTON-While the house
irrigation committee has not met
for several days to discuss the
Johnson-Swing bill to provide for
construction of a dam at Boulder
Canyon on the Colorado river, the
measure has been receiving careful
thought by a number of members.
The recommendation by Secre-
tary Work as to the all-American
canal and power disposal features
Of the bill have been transmitted
by Chairman Smoot of the commit
tee to members of his group, and
it it expected that several propos-
ais in reference to these will be
presented at the next meeting.
Just how far proponents of the
measure will go in endorsing the
secretary's recommendation that
construction Of the proposed canal
be abandoned if Mexico will give
an adequate guarantee to Ameri-
can citizens now using waters from
the canal passing through that
country, remains prOblematical.
This condition also applies to
the interior secretary's proposal

lating to disposal of power be

In this connection, it is known
that all members of the committee
are not in sympathy with the pow
