Frank Wilson Nye tells the following:
Before Nye left the Boomerang
some admirers, after spending the
evening together, stopped at his
house on their way home at about
a. m. to tell him what a genius
he was. The house was in darkness
and everyone in it sound asleep. That
made no difference. They knocked
on the door and tried to find a key
in which to sind "Auld Lang Syne.7
Being suddenly awakened, Bill

apologized and assured him they
hated to disturb him, but inasmuch
as he might not live till morning
they must let him know without delay
that he was a genius.

much of a genius man is, he looks

WASHINGTON = George Washing
toms recently advanced claim to
distinction as the greatest business
man of his time may soon be con-
vincingly proved in the saving of
millions of dollars to the government
and some 100000 citizens.
A miniature Muscle Shoals, which
will produce electric light and power
+ in the national capitals backyard
at about one-half the present rate,
is likely to be developed by act of
, this congress or the next.
Two 1OO-foot dams with power
plants on the Potomac river, each
to develop about 10000 horsepower,
to serve the District of Columbia
and territory within 1OO-mile radius,
are provided in legislation proposed
by Senator George W. Norris of
Nebraska.
+ Build Two Plants
The program is known as the
''Great Falls project" The Norris
bill calls for erection of dam and
power plant to cost $1S,6OOOOO at
Chain Bridge, three miles from
Washington, and similar construction
cost $18,616, 900.
George Washington's "favorite
dream" .envsaged the Harvesting OF
beautiful Great Falls to his coun
try's industrial needs. The founda
tions of his iron mill and grist mill
still stand there as testimonials to
his foresight.
Primarily, the project is designed
to supply government buildings and
effect an important federal economy,
but the people of washington and
surrounding cities and towns of
Maryland and Virginia win reap full
benefit
1t was originally drafted by Major
NJ c. Tyler, hydro-electric expert of
the army engineer corps, in 1921,
after an exhaustive study. 1t has
gained the approval of the United
States board of engineers, the secre-
tG1ry of war, district commissioners,
Washington Chamber of Commerce.
district committee of the house and
the federal power commission, which
has special jurisdiction over such
matters.
Huge Saving
Approximately 10000 horsepower
would be used by government and
other buildings in Washington and
as much again in the 100-mile radius,
containing 100000 persons outside
the capital. With both plants in
operation and with control of water
by three supplementary dams further
upstream increasing the regular flow
to 5000 feet per second, all this
electric current could be developed
for S44,421, 900, according to the plans
supporters.
The $44,421,OOO would be amortized
in 80 years, after which the price
of current would be expected to drop
well below half the present figure.
Senator Norris says that even if all
electric distribution were left to local
utility companies, the people would
save two mills per kilowatt hour
with a total saving of $1,9OO,OO0
year to consumers during the 80
year period and $4,56O,oo0 annually

A matter, which although not of religious
ture nevertheless should be reckoned with in clean
ing the ctys much condemnable social and political
situation is the beginning of weekly newspaper un
der the Aame of the Saturday Press, which has for

destroying the Twin City Reporter together with
forcing the chief of police Mr.. Brunskill, either to
to get out of office or do his duty.

Because of this fact, the matter comes into the
hands of the sheriff of Hennepin County and so we
might hope that the matter will be handled ON its
merits.

appeared in the city exposing vice conditions and
making serious charges against the police depart
ment and particularly the chief of police.
Names of resorts, alleged to be gambling
houses, have been published, together with the
names of the proprietors and other information
upon which the police could act.
"Mose" Barnett, implicated by the Grand Jury
indictment in the acid throwing at the Shapiro Dry
Cleaning plant, was named repeatedly in the Press
previous to the indictment being one of the
gambling ring" Since his indictment this ndivid-
ual has not been found though his attorney said he
would appear any time he was wanted.
The fight of the Press is being made against
the Twin City Reporter and those who are said
to be associated with that paper in a gambling
ring H. A. Guilford, of the editors of the Press
was shot several weeks ago and is now in the St. Bar
nabas hospital The Tribune, in front page edl-
torial, demanded that the town be cleared of the
ring
We know nothing about the personal relations
Of the editors of the Press the gambling ring or the
chief of police We do not know anything about un-
derworld politics. We do not know anything about
the graft, corruption vice conditions or any such
matters which may OF may not have existed in this
city.
But the Twin City Reporter has disappeared
from most of the newsstands of the city (by police
ders we are told) But if the police bar this pa
per from the stands now, why has it not been done
for years past? The Saturday Press has been barred
from the stands from the first issue. WHY?
The resort on Hennepn Avenue has been
closed down, we are told, but informant also
says that it closed after the Saturday Press made
it's charges. "Mose Barnett is gone, although he has
an appointment with the officials for important
interview Those said to be responsible for the shoot
ing of Guford have been indicted by the Grand
Jury and were taken into custody by officers from
the Sheriffs office.
We feel that there is burden of proof resting
upon the Police Department. Although positive
charges made in the Press, action has been
taken and no denials issued. The police owe it to
themselves and the city to give the facts to the pub
Tic.
We want to trust the police We want to believe
in Frank Brunskill We want to feel honest effort
is being made to keep this city clean. But feel
that facts and honest statements are needed just
now.
