This bill was recommitted to the census committee and can be reported back to the House and acted upon at any time. \ Speaker Longworth expressed con-| tinued confidence that farm _relief| legislation can be passed at this ses- sion and is still of the opinion that Congress should avoid an extra session called immediately following the reg- ular session. If there is a demand for tariff revision, he said, this should be brought up in & special session, begin- ning dbout the middle of September. { He believes it would ‘be possible to get 1 quick action then so that the bill could be passed before the regular session | opens in December. i Against Summer Session. “I particularly want to avoid a Sum- | mer session because a Summer session | | is not conducive to good legislation,” the Speaker said. He feels certain the general principles i of the McNary-Haugen bill for agricul- tural relief can be enacted at the short session, leaving until later, however, the | determination as to how much tariff | | revision is to be made a feature of farm relief. He does not believe that it is possible to pass a general farm relief | bill at the short session because of the | demand for other classes of tariff relief. | The first two calendar Wednesdays | are at the call of the naval affairs com- mittee, which has several important bills ready for action. These include battle- | ship modification, reorganization of the | personnel of the Marine Corps and promotions in the Navy. In Doubt on Britten Proposal. In reply to questions regarding his| opinion on the proposal for a Navy \armament conference made by Chair- man Britten of the naval affairs com- | mittee the Speaker said he thought Mr. Britten's intention was good enough, but he doubts whether that would be a | permanent and efficient way of settling | the difficulty.

WASHINGTON. D. C, DECEMBER- -2 . 1928—PART 1. Boulder Dam Terrain 200 s & SATEN T MAMMAL MIGRATIC;I\L INDICATED BY FOSSILS| Special Dispatch to The Star. PRINCETON, N. J, December 1.— Fosil discoveries which would indicate a migration of mammals from America to Europe was announced at Princeton University today as a result of scientific expedition to Wyoming and South Da- kota last Summer by Glenn L. Jepson of the university geology department. accompanied by two students, Joseph F. Page of Detroit and Lowell L. Cook of Marion, Ohio. The discovery is the jaw of a small mammal described as “of questionable affinities,” whose closest relatives are known only from later formations in Europe. Another discovery regarded as sig- nificant was that of a number of small muitituberculates found in the Bighorn Basin. “It belongs,” said Dr. Jepson, “to a genus of tiny eocene multi-tubercu- lates, a whole group of odd mammals supposed to have become extinct in a previous epoch. It is about as long as the diameter of a dime and was found in an excavation which we dug to re- move the partial skeletons of four much larger animals.” REPORTONBOULDER DAN S RECENED 'Will Be Sent to Congress When Interior Secretary Returns From Chicago. The important report of five experts | on the proposed construction of a' dam | in the main stream of the Colorado | River at Black Canyon or Boulder Can- yon in Arizona has arrived in Wash- | ington, and is awaiting the return to- | morrow of Secretary West of the De- partment of the Interior from a trip to | cago, before transmittal to Con- Interior Department officials have stoutly resisted attempts by Con- | gressional leaders and others to secure | copies of the report prior to its formal submission to Congress. President Coolidge was furnished with a summa of the experts’ recommendations, re- so that he could incorporate a | mantion of the Boulder Dam situation in his message to Congr The report, which will likely be made ble for publication tomorrow, rep- resents another step forward in the long controversy over the development of a storage reservoir on the Colorado River, either in Boulder Canyon or Black Can- yon. Legislation designed to_accom- plish development of the lower Colorado River has preferred status in the Sen- ate, having passed the House on May 25 of this year. The five experts who wrote the report —three of them engineers and two geologists—were selected last July by Dr. Hubert Work, then Secretary of the Interior, and have spent most of the intervening time in first-hand study of the problems involved. Recently they held sessions at Denver, where a mass of statistical information was available, and there put their recom- mendations into writing. | "The five experts are: Maj. Gen. Wil- | liam L. Sibert, United States Army, re- tired: D. W. Mead, engineer, of Mad:! son, Wis.; Robert Ridgeway, engineer, of New York; Charles P. Berkey, geo- logist, of New York, and W. J. Mead, geologist, of Madison, Wis. These men were selected because of eminence in their profession and due to the fact that they were not connected with the Boulder Dam situation, either through personal interest, residence, or previous intimate knowledge of the project. So anxious was Secretary West to insure that five experts should present a report free from any hint of cabinet influences that on his recent trip to the Southwest he avoided a trip to where the investigators were at work. The report, which is awaited with keen interest, especially by the Western | interests most intimately bound up with the lower Colorado River, will likely turn its attention to several | problems that have been perplexing | Federal investigating agencies and con- gressional leaders for many years. The experts were directed in the act author- izing their appointment to advise tI Secretary of the Interior “as to matte: affecting the safety, the economic and engineering feasibility, and adequacy of the proposed structure and incidental works” in conjunction with the pro- posed construction of a dam at Black A c]xarming 1215 CONNECTICUT AVENUE. N. W. MILLINERY CLEARANCE Soleils Felts, Velvets and a number ofSatins, includ- INC ;é' collection of Canyon or Boulder Canyon in the Colorado River. Puzzling problems surrounding the Boulder Dam controversy include water age of water by the proposed dam; re- duction of the menace from floods; a supplemental supply of water available for irrigation; reclamation of land and the development of electrical energy. The lower basin of the Colorado River comprises areas chiefly in the States of Arizona, California and Nevada. This Colorado River traverses a di tance of more than 1750 miles. In- terior Department experts have placed the drainage basin of the river at 242,000 square miles in the United States and 2,000 square miles in Mexico. Yet another -problem revolving around | the Boulder Dam discussion is the pro- posed all-American canal to yeplace the present Imperial Canal, which carries water from the Colorado River for the irrigation of lands mn the Imperial Val- ley of California.. The Imperial Canal crosses into Mexico and continues in that country for about 60 miles before { again returning :to the United States with its supply of water for Imperial Valley lands. New factors have come into the po- litical equation since Congress last dis- W. P. Hunt of Arizona, who has been a vigorous opponent of the construction | of a dam on the Colorado River in the Boulder Dam area, due to alleged in: equitable water distribution, was defeat- ed for re-election in the elections last month. Then, too, observers point out, Mexico has a new chief executive in the person of Emilio Portes Gil, provisional president, who will likely have some- thing to say about Mexico’s share in the waters of the Colorado River.

The names of two Cabinet members will be among those for which Presi- dent Coolidge will seek Senates ap- | proval this week. i Roy O. West of Illinois, whose re- | cess appointment as Secretary of the Interior during the Summer drew some opposition, is one of them. The other ! is Secretary Whiting of the Commerce Department, who took office when Herbert Hoover retired after his nomi- nation for President. Senate Policy Changed. In years past, a President has usu- ally been free in the choice of his Cabinet, with little interference by the | Senate. In later years, however, pros- | pective Cabinet officers have been put | under fire at the Capitol, and one of | them, Charles Beecher Warren of Mich- igan, failed of confirmation as Attorney | General in the Coolidge Cabinet. i There have been rumblings that Mr., West would meet some hostility, but so | far there has been no visible line-up in such a fight against him. Secretary | Whiting’s name has evoked no out- spoken Senate opposition. { Included in the recess appointments | for which confirmation will be necessary are the new contreller of the currency, John W. Pole of Ohio; the Treasurer of the United States, H. T. Tate of Ten- nessee; & new member of the interstate commerce committee, P. J. Farrell of Vermont; a taviff commissioner, Sher- man J. Lowell of New York, and Abram F. Myers of Iowa, chairman.of the Federal Trade Commission, who engaged in a row with a Senate committee at the last session. Diplomatic Selections.
