"CLEAN UP?PAINT UP" MOVEMENT GETS 0. K. Industrial Interests Committee of the Board of Trade Takes Action. The "clean up?paint up" movement was indorsed by the industrial interests committee of the Board of Trade yesterday afternoon. A. H. McGhan of the Master Painters and Decorators' Association appeared before the committee and explained the purpose of the movement. He told of the success of last year's campaign and of plans being made for another clean up and paint up week in this city. The committee voted to co-operate with other organizations of the city in an effort to make the campaign a greater success than ever before. The < ommittee indorsed the plan for a "Washington, maintained by each state f t the Union, The plan, which was first brought to the attention and indorsed by the Board of Trade several years ago, calls for buildings to bouse permanent exhibits to be made by each wtate. A bill providing for such an exhibition recently was introduced by Representative. Collier. The committee voted to co-operate in the movement to obtain the passage of a law prohibiting false and misleading advertising matter in the District. The committee on public schools of the board is to meet at 4:30 o'clock Friday afternoon to discuss the proposed change in the management of the pub- , lie schools of the District. j Here's Palate Joy for You ?also stomach comfort beyond belief.

The Housekeeper's Friend N.W.Burchell,1325F SETS $24,887,187 AS COST OP PLANT : Francis R. Weller Declares Great Falls Power Project Too Expensive. HIS FIGURES EXCEED j THOSE OF COL LANGFITT Consulting Engineer Also Discusses Increase in Water Supply of Washington. Declaring that the proposed harnessI ing of the water power at Great Falls will cost local taxpayers several million dollars more than they have been I led to believe, Francis R. Weller, a [consulting engineer of Washington, in an address last night before the Washington section of the American Association of Electrical Engineers, at the Cosmos Club, stated that the scheme is impracticable for economic reasons, and that the government can better afford to acquire power from a central plant in Washington or purchase it from the Potomac Electric Power Company. | Mr. Weller's talk was largely an arraingment of the Langfitt plan for the Great Falls development, which he declared to be feasible from an engineering standpoint, but too expensive a project to be worthy of serious consideration. He pointed out certain cost items which the Langfitt plan, he asserted. did not take into consideration, and estimated the total cost of the development at $24,887,187. Col. Langfttt's estimate of .$13,000,000, he declared. stops with the power plant and does not cover the ultimate development of the distribution system and other features. Some Extra Cost Items. Mr. Weller criticised the plans on the ground that they do not allow for losses in the generation and distribution of power and stated that a steam auxiliary plant will be necessary, which is another cost not mentioned in the estimates. The following are some cost items, he said, which have not been allowed for: Clearing of reservoir site, which will comprise about 3,000 acres. Rock borings to determine the character of the rock and a thorough study of the rock formation upon 'V hi oh will r?st thp nrnnnspd dam Interest on the bonds during the construction period. "Summarizing all the various items," said the speaker, "the total cost of the partial development of the 20,000 horsepower amounts to $11,720,804, against Col. Langfltt's estimate of $9,849,000. This is equivalent to a unit cost of $438.30 per shaft horsepower developed. When one compares this against a cost of $35 to $50 per horse- j power in a steam plant, it is evident immediately that such a cost for the water power is entirely prohibitive. Substation Estimates. "The estimates of cost of substations and distribution system only cover the first partial development and no estimate has been made for the cost of distributing the 100,000 horsepower maximum development. Also, the cost of additional substations must be added; likewise the cost of the 60,000-kilo-; watt steam auxiliary plant, which 1 estimate will cost $3,149,000." At the outset Mr. Weller charged that the weak point in the Great Palls project is the error that has been made in ; fixing the lode factor. He stated that as all the unit costs in Col. L^ingfitt's report are based upon the total estimated output of the water-power plant, which likewise is based upon the lode iticiur Ul ll?C J/iflin. into CUV. .V v-ai ried throughout all of his estimates, and the figures given the unit-power costs are wrong. Mr. Weller gave the Sode requirements of government buildings in proof of his assertion that Col. Langfltt's estimate of a lode factor of 66 per cent is excessive. After discussing this feature in considerable detail, he said: "It is evident that if, instead of a 66 per cent lode factor, a lode factor of o3 per cent will exist, then the cost of power will be twice the estimated cost given, since the output is reduced by one-half and the operating expenses and fixed charges remain the same. I mention these examples to show that with the great advance in the steampower plant design, water-power ; plants, excepting where operated on a very high lode factor, cannot compete with steam." Cost of Delivering Power. Mr. Weller also discussed at length the cost of delivering the power to j various substations. In this connection he said: "I failed to mention that in the estimates of cost no allowance was made for the cost o" land for these substations. The government at the present time owns a site for the main substation which was purchased for a naval repair shop. This will be located on square 321. The Jand assessment of this square gives the total cost at $313,486. and the assessed valuation being two-thirds the actual value, therefore this square is estimated to be worth $473,229. Would Be Prohibitive, He Says. "Considering the problem of power distribution from an economic standpoint. \{ is readily seen that the cost of supplying power to the government establishments in the outlying sections of the city?considering the amount of power required by these establishments?would be prohibitive." Ha ti rftcfPflfH t r? c! va ilfaicnp/i to support this general statement. In discussing that portion of the plan which provides for increasing the water supply of Washington, Mr. Weller said: "There are two schemes for increasing the water supply: one, th?u.plan of building an addition conduit from Great Falls to the Delcarlia reservoir; and the other, taking the water from J>ake Meigs and pumping the same into the Delcarlia reservoir. In the second case, the water must be raised from a Ihead of 31.5 feet, involving the cost of operating and upkeep of pumps, amounting to 141 200 per annum, with the possibility of interruption to the water supply due to breakdowns In the pumping machinery. "Mr. Hardy (pp. 36 and 37 in his report) estimates that the annual cost of increasing the water supply is as follows: Conduit plan, $351,300; Lake M?:gs plan, $299,900. Figures on Development. "It must be remembered that in the r-stimate of the cost of the water power development $1,500,000 was charged against the increase in the water supply. Allowing 3 per cent interest and 1.5 per cent sinking fund, or 4.5 per cent on this additional amount, this would add a fixed charge of $67,500 to the annual cost of water supply operation in connection with the water power project. The total annual cost, therefore. would be $367,400, so that the conduit plan would show an annual saving in operation of $16,100, capitalizing this saving at 4.5 per cent we have $357,700 as a capitalised saving in the cost of construction by the conduit plan ovei>-the Lake Meigs plan. Gravity Supply Deemed Beat. "Connldertnp the water power, therefore, In connection with the water auplily problem, wo find that tha develop ment of the water power will not in any way reduce the cost of additional water supply for the city of Washington, nor would the improvement in the quality of the water render such a plant desirable. It goes without saying that a gravity supply is always more reliable than a supply obtained by pumping the water." Says Survey Was Not Final One. Admitting that the estimate by Col. William C. Langfitt, U. S. Army Engineer Corps, and formerly in charge of the Washington aqueduct, of the cost of constructing a power plant at Great Falls was rather low. Brig. Gen. Dan C. Kingman, chief of engineers, I*. S. Army, said today that at the most the survey made by Col. Langfltt was only a preliminary one and was not to be accepted .as final. He said he hadn't read statements made last night by Charles R. Weller criticising the report. and didn't see the use of wasting time in discussing matters that hadn't been accepted as final. Lieut. Col. Clement A. F. Flagler, at present in charge of the Washington aqueduct, would not discuss the matter, matter. FVANRFIISIIR WORK K TOPIC OF PRESBYTERIANS Sessions of Washington Institute Open at New York Avenue Church This Afternon. The encouragement and direction of the evangelistic work of the Presbyterian Church is the topic for discussion by the Washington Institute on Evangelism, being held today and tomorrow at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church under the auspices of the evangelistic committee of the Presbyterian General Assembly. This committee consists of twenty-one prominent divines and elders. JThe sessions, which began at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, are intended to direct evangelism along Presbyterian lines, to stimulate, particularly, elders to lead the congregations in such work and to arrange for the activities as evangelists of such men as are authorized. At least one of these institutes is held each year. The honorary chairman of the evangelistic committee is Rev. Wilbur Chapman, himself a noted evangelist, and the active chairman is Rev. George D. Mahy of Philadelphia. Rev. Eben B. Cobb of the presbytery of Elizabeth, X. J., presided at this afternoon's meeting:, at which, following a devotional service. Rev. William H. Roberts, stated clerk of the general assembly, spoke on "The Co-operatiOn of the Presbyterian Church With Other Denominations in Evangelistic Work." Tonight's Meeting Open to Public. Other speakers scheduled for this afternoon are Elder S. Earl Hoover of Philadelphia, Elder Foster Copeland and Rev. S. S. Palmer, both of Columbus, Ohio. The daV meetings are particularly meetings for practical detail work. Tonight's session will be a popular meeting, open to the public, the speakers being Rev. J. Ross Stevenson, moderator of the general assembly and president of the Princeton Theological Seminary, and Rev. Maitland Alexander of Pittsburgh, former moderator. Previous to the meeting, the delegates,, who represent all parts of the country. will dine together at Cochran Hotel. Elder Charles L. Huston of Coatesville. Pa., will preside both over tonight's: session and that of tomorrow rnorni ig". Four-thirty o'clock tomorrow is the hour set for final adjournment, and in the evening the visiting ministers will supply the pulpits of all local Presbyterian churches at the midweek services. Rev. Henry Collin lYfinton of New Brunswick, X. J., will preside at the final session. Rev. J. Harvey Dunham, chairman of the evangelistic committee of the Presbytery of Washington City, is in charge of the arrangements. ALLEGED CONGESTION OF STREET CAR TRAFFIC Complaints Filed Against Conditions on 14th Street Between F and G Streets. Congestion of street car traffic on 14th street between F and G streets, caused, Jt is claimed, largely oy tne establishment of the new direct service over that thoroughfare to the bureau of engrjiving and printing, is producing numerous complaints from patrons, and the public utilities commission is searching for a means of remedying the situation. According to officials of the commis- | sion, the new service, which took the place of the old E street line, has | greatly relieved congestion of street car traffic at 9th and F streets and 9th and G streets, but made conditions worse on 14th street. They point out that it s doubtful if the congestion between F and G. streets on 14th street can ever be relieved to any great extent. % Suggestion Considered. A suggestion under consideration by the commission is that cars bound for the bureau of engraving and printing stop at the top of 14th street.hill, by the Wi'.lard Hotel, so as not to delay cars ^ hich are to switch into F street. The principal difficulty is that, this is a short block, capable of accommodating only ih;-ee or f->ur cars, and delays are caused to a co-^slderable extent by the through cars stopping at the switching points. Will Study Conditions. The commission is planning to make an immediate study of traffic conditions with a view to equalizing congestion as much as possible. It is pointed out that improvement in service at one point frequently produces worse conditions at another point. J. Kappeyne, the new engineer of the commission, stated today that the question of service will be studied generally and it is planned to devote several weeks to the work. FREES DYING CONVICT. President Commutes Sentence of Miller H. Lee. Purely as a humanitarian measure tlie President has commuted, to expire at once, the sentence of Miller H. Lee, self-confessed counterfeiter, who is dying of cancer. Lee has a reputation as a bad man, and there is no justification for his liberation except his physical condition. While there is no hope to save his life, he has appealed for freedom, with the idea that he may obtain some relief from pain, that he cannot get in prison. He confessed to counterfeiting before the federal court, sitting in Salt/Lake City, and was sentenced, Xovernjber 9, I 1914, to five years' imprisonment at McNeil's Island penitentiary and to pay a fine of $100.

WILL SUPERVISE QUARANTINE Dr. Cofer Goes to New York Port Pending Transfer of Control. The quarantine station of the port of New York, having supervision over the health condition of the aliens who enter that most important gateway into ' the United States, seems destined to pass under federal control. The Baltimore quyantine station will be the only ore in the United States maintained by other than by federal authority. Gov. Whitman of New York has invited the federal government to detail a public health officer in charge of the quarantine station until such time as the New York legislature may act o'ri pending legislation to turn over the station to the federal authorities. ! Dr. 1,. K. Cofer, assistant surgeon gen eral of the public health service, has been designated to the task. The prospect of peril to the physical well-being of the nation from the expected influx of infected immigration following the war in Europe has been the strongest argument for plac! ing the quarantine station under federal control. The public health service I has warned of the coming menace, ami I has prepared itself to cope with the dangers of disease due to the war. Death of Mary Johnson Accidental. Magistrate Robert E.
