Hiawassee Dam
Appropriation Is
Said Approved
But Sub Committee Chair.
man Declares Action
Is Not Final

WASHINGTON. July 6.-Unof'
fetal but reliable reports here last
night were to the effect that the
senate subcommittee on appropri-
atoms had amended the second de-
fciency bill by the addition of the
sum of approximately So, 100000
for preliminary work on the Hia-
wassee and two other dams.
Tennessee Valley Authority Of
ficials stated definitely that the
appropriation had been approved
and the office of Senator Robert
R. Reynolds also confirmed the re-
port, but Chairman Adams, of the
subcommittee, reported that no
definite decision had been reached
and that the matter was still un-
der consideration.
The subcommittee expects t.
report the bill to the full commit
tee early next week and it is re.
ported that funds were marked
for the Hiawassee dam, the Chic
kamauga dam, above Chattanooga,
and the Guntersville, Ala, dam.
The house passed the deficiency
bill without making provision for
anv of the dams. Should the sen.
ate committee amend the bill and
secure passage in the senate, the
bill will then go into conference
with the house on the amend
ments.
installation of power machinery
at Hiawassee is expected to await
the development of demand for
electric power. In the event that
governments in the use of mica IN
the construction of steel automo-
biel tops prove successful it is an
ticipated that the mining of mica
would necessitate the use of more
mower than would be developed at
Hiawassee.
Passage of appropriations for
the dam have been urged on the
grounds of flood control for the
citv of Chattanooga and in order
to preserve the continuity Of the
iva program. The Hiawassee
dam is next on the list of projects
Of the IVA and it is expected that
on the completion of the Norris
dam the machinery and organiza-
ton now located there would be
moved to Hiawassee..

u. S. IS TAKING
STEPS AS VAR
THREAT GROWS
America Fails to Invoke
Kellogg Pact to Prevent
African War
TWO COUNTRIES ONLY
REMINDED OF TREATY

WASHINGTON, July 6. (UP).
The United States is taking
steps to evacuate all Americans
in Abyssinia in view of the
threatened war with Italy.
The United States through
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
evaded the maneuver of Abys-
sinia to have the United States
invoke the Kellogg-Briand peace
pact to halt Italy's march.
The government tactfully re-
minded Italy that both Italy and
Abyssinia have treaty and
that it's obligations should be OBJ
served in behalf of world inter-
est.
After consultation with Presi-
| dent Roosevelt, Hull said ain view
Of the provisions Of the pact of
Paris, to which both Italy and
Abyssinia are parties any gov
eminent is loath to believe that
, either would resort to other than
Pacific means in dealing with
this controversy or would permit
any situation to arise which is
inconsistent with the commit
ments Of the pact"
Hull, replying, also lodged
formal invocation of the pact of
Paris. He noted that the con-
troversy between Italy and Abys-
sinia "is now in the course of
arbitration" under an agency Of
the League of Nations, and ex-
pressed the hope that "a decision
satisfactory to both of the gov
erpments Immediately concerned"
will be, found. r
Throughout his note. which
was dispatched following con-
ference with President Roosevelt,
Hull kept strictly to middle
ground. Neither Abyssinis nor
Italy could obtain great comfort
from it.
The United States previously
has attempted to invoke the Kel-
logg- BRAND pact on two occasions
and both times got no response.
World observers regard the pact
as of no practical effect.
The United States attempted
first to invoke it during q dis.
pute between Soviet Russia and
China in 1928. Foreign Commits
sar Maxim Litvinov of Russia,
replied with a automatically
worder note which, in effect, in
vited this country to mind its
own business.
The second attempt was dur
ing tension between China and
Japan in Manchuria. This at
tempt ended in equally dismal
failure. .r

HOUSE LIBERALS TO CONFER
ON MEANS TO BLOCK REVOLT
AGAINST NEW IVA MEASURE
Efforts Utility Bill Confer.
ence at Standstill Over
Weekend

WASHINGTON, july 6. (UP).
A determined band of house lib
erals met to devise means of pre-
venting rebellious conservatives
from emasculating the admins
tration's IVA legislation when it
comes to the floor next week.
The conference was called by
Representatives Maury Maverick,
D., Texas, and John Rankin, D.,
Miss, after the house twice had
buffed President Roosevelt by re-
fusing to approve the so-called
death sentence" for "unneces-
sary" utility holding companies in
the Wheeler-Rayburn bill.
Meanwhile action to bring the
utility holding company bill to
conference was at standstlll
with most of the members of con-
gress out of town over the holi-
days. specialization over the
possibility that summns may be
issued for Thomas Corcoran, Ben
iamin Cohen and Charles O.
West in the house inquiry into
LOBBYING connected with the
measure was without official con-
firmation. All three administra-
ton members were reported &C
tive in the fight for the death
sentence. Like the house utility
holding company bill, the iva
measure is a compromise between
the wishes of the administration
and demands of Republicans and
conservative Democrats. 1t was
reported out of the house mill
tary affairs committee by a IL
to IL vote after weeks of bitter
debate. II,
In its present form, the bill
would prevent IVA from selling
surplus power below production
cost after Jan. /, 1887; place the
operations of the giant project
under the audit of the comptroller
general for the first time and keep
its bond issue authorization at
$50, 900, 900 instead of $1OO,Ooo'-
600 as desired by the administra-
ton. ~
Rep. Andrew J. May, D., KY,
who voted against the President
on the death sentence issue and
who has opposed the adminlstra-
TONS wishes in the military affairs
committee, will lead the group
seeking to force adoption of the
compromise.

RAIN BELOW
NORMAL HERE
But Still so Abundant as
to Have no Harmful
Results
By T. w. VALENTINE

The mean temperature IN Hen
Jacksonville for the first half of
the year 1885 has been about
two degrees above normal. Temp
eratures for May and June were
practically normal; for the other
four months they were above
normal by amounts ranging from
1.2 DEGREES in April to 6.5 de-
greas in March. 1t is interesting
to note that the months which
showed the greatest were the
months wheR such excuses were
most welcome, namely, January,
February and March.
Proclamation for the six months
shows a net deficiency of Sol
inches. Excuses were recorded
in two months (1.89 inches in
January and OBI inch in May)
Deficiencies were recorded in
four months (1.98 in February,
2.34 inches in March, 0.04 inch
in Apr. and 2.74 inches in June)
The total excuses amounted to
200 inches, and the total de-
ficiencies to 10 inches. The net
deficiency amounts to about 16
per cent. Owing to the abund-
ant rainfall which usually oc-
ours here, much greater de-
ficiencv than this can occur with
out harmful effects.
