Pierre Du Pont, former chair

bad weather from Greenville, S.

years old, suffering from a brain
malady. was examined today by
the noted brain specialist, DR..

DR.. Dandy, who saved the life
of a child flown here from Texas
few months ago by Speedboy

of the Greenwood baby's ailment
was as yet undetermined. but an
operation would probably prove
necessary.
The baby was accompanied by
a nurse and her parents, DR.. and

COnfereeS
Agree On
Pay-OH

Senator Duncan U. Fletcher CD
Of Florida, chairman Of the Sen
ate Banking and Currency Com
mittee, revealed today that the
conferees on the deposit insurance
bill, carrying the Steagall bank
depoSitors' relief amendment, have
reached a virtual agreement.
On the Steagall amendment, the
agreement provides that the RFC
make loans on a reasonable"
value of the securities of closed
banks.
Other Minor Changes
Just how much relief the de-
positors in closed banks will be
afforded by this could not be
estimated, but it is held doubtful
that it will provide as much re-
lief as would the Steagall amend
ment.
The conferees still have some
minor matters regarding other
sections of the bill to agree upon
before making reports to their
respective Houses. Senator Flet-
cher expect complete agreement
at the conference session this
afternoon.
If the conference committee
completes its work today, it
would be possible to call the re-
port up in the Senate tomorrow.
Recess Spikes Vote
BY recessing the House for the
third time within a week, Majority
Floor Leader ByrnS last night def
nitely spiked any vote next Mon
day on either the Mcleod or Fra.

The only opportunity for a
clearcut vote on the Mcleod 100
per cent payoff plan now lies in
Mr.. McLeod's obtaining unani-
nous consent to bring his bill up
for debate.

Four Horses Pull Calvert st.
Span 90 Feet. Down
Valley on Tracks

The Calvert Street Bridge was
moved today from it's old moor
ingS. and by p. m. is expected
to be fast to the new anchorage
80 feet to the south. while en-
gineers intend to start work to-
morrow on the preliminaries OF
the new stone structure which will
span the valley.
While the other bridge is being
built, street car traffic will be
maintained on the old bridge.
The bridge moving has been the
big show in Washington today.
Throngs of people have been
flocking the roads in Rock Creek
Park, as close to the bridge as
possible, since sunrise to watch
the gigantic engineering feat,
which has had few parallels in
history.
Like Mining Camp
Rock Creek Valley took on the
appearance of mining camp,
the steep hillSides being SCARED
with excavations in which were
placed huge timbered structures
which upheld the tracks along
which the 1,5O0-ton steel structure
glided to its anchorage.
So carefully were the moving
operations planned that the
motive power consisted only of
four horses pulling at windlasses,
and two men operating hand
winches. The machinery was
geared so that each horse had d
70-horse-power pull.
Widely Watched
Engineers from all over the
United States are watching the
operation today, as it is unique
in engineering feats. and is the
longest and the highest steel
bridge of its kind ever to be
moved.
Today's move is the climax of
five weeks of preparation, in
which all of the steel towers had
been looSened and set up on tenn
porary resting places.
Two of the towers unfolding the
central part of the bridge were
left anchored in hundreds of tons
of concrete sunk 80 or 40 feet into
the earth. These two towers had
to be cut away by acetyline
torches this morning before the
great structure was moved.
On the completion of this job,
whistle and bell signals sounded
across the deep Rock Greek val
ley, the horses began to pillow

laneous cargo, endangered the
lives of the passengers and crew

lulu coast guard stand by"
The blaze was brought under
control with the aid of blankets
of steam poured into the hold
to smother the flames.
The Matson liner LuEline and
the Coast Guard cutter Itasca
were speeding under forced draft
to her aid and the United States
Navy minesWeeper Sunnancin and
the destroyer Gamble left Homo
lulu in response to the call.

President Lincoln when the first
message was flashed.

les last Friday for Honolulu and
the Orient. She was scheduled
to arrive. today in Honolulu.
