POWER SUBSTAT|ON
VALUE IN DISPUTE
Public Utilities Commission
and Company Seek
Understanding.

The Public Utilities Commission and
the Potomac Electric Power Co. are
engaged in dispute as to the figure
at which the latter's old power sub
station and office building at Four
teenth and B streets are to be written
out of the company's valuation.
1t is said that the Government paid
the power company $3,600,O00 for the
property, which is carried on the books
at $2,463,000.
The commission holds that any item
of capital investment retired because
of discontinuance of plant or equip
ment which was installed prior to the
valuation compromise of 1924 should be
retired at figures proportionate to the
1924 valuation and not at book cost
The power company is seeking to retire
the property at book cost. If the power
company prevails, the deduction from
valuation will be smaller than the COM
mission believes proper.
What the commission will contend
for is not known. In 1924 valuation
agreements under which the present
power rates are. fixed, the valuation of
the company's entire property was
raised from $4,000, 900 to S32 SOC, 600.
Since that time about $50 ,000,0 900 has
been added to capital account. Pre-
sumably the commission intends to
write of for this property a figure in
creased over the book cost in the ratio
of 321a to IS.
As the matter now stands, the COM
mission has written to the power COM
pany, stating that its proposed retire
ment figure is not acceptable, and the
power company has not replied.

A pack saddle and saddle pouch used
by the famous Apache chieftain, Geron-
ino and by one of his wives has just
been presented to the National Museum.
These were obtained by George S.
Howe of Burlington, VT. from a pros
reservation in New Mexico from
granddaughter of Geronimo, who had
inherited them from her mother.
Another important historical collec-
ton out OF the stirring days Of the win
ming of the West was presented to the
museum by W. w. Anderson, 3035 Q
street. This contains what are believed
to be the only existing photographs OF
the delegation of Sioux chiefs who Wis
tied Washington in October, 1888, and
signed treaties putting an end to the
long war between this Plains tribe and
the white men. The chiefs are shown
in their native costumes sitting on the
steps of the Capitol.
Mr. Anderson also gave the Museum
two very large paintings by Sioux In
aians showing band of red men, armed
with rifles, stealing horses from another
tribe. These were described by H. w.
Krieger, curator of the department of
ethnology, as remarkable examples of
native Indian art, which was especially
adapted to telling a story and was de-
veloped independent of white influence.
Brings San Bias Relics.
So far as the figures of men and
horses go, the paintings are crude al
most to the point of caricatures, but
the Indian artists had mastered the
far more difficult technique of portray
ing motion by the arrangement of lines
and curves so that the picture looks
"alive" and gives an accurate descripr
ton of just what was happening The
work was done on cotton Sheeting with
ochre and charcoal The collection also
contains a curious Sioux musical instru-
ment, pink flageolet with five spots
Valuable curiosities from the San
Bias Indian tribe of Panama have
been presented to the museum by Lieut..
r. Birnn. 410 Whittier street. These
Indians have the custom of carving
figures of their gods and most notable
chiefs on the heads of canes and
bludgeonS. They were good wood car
vers and many of the figures were
very realistic. Some of the canes
gathered by Lieut.. Birnn show the fig
ure of man with a long nose, pipe
in his mouth, wearing a frock coat
and a waistcoat. Museum ethnolo-
gists were at first puzzled as to how
such a figure happened to get into
the pantheon of the jungle Indians.
1t turned out that he was the physician
of a Scotch colony which tried to
establish itself in Panama in 1888.

depicting scenes from the daily life CT

logical viewpoint, says Mr.. Krieger, for

says, is large collection of engraved

of New York. Tibet still is an almost
