TERRIFIC BLOW
IS DEALT WATER
POWER
MONOPOLY
Secretary Stimson Succeeds in
, Reserving Control of Prop
erty Sought By Trust.
By JUDSON C. WELLIVER.
The Water Power trust, which for
Tears has ben seeking control of avail
able water powers all over the country,
received another hard blow today at the
hands of Secretary of War Stimson.
. , Ever since President Roosevelt, In his
famous Rainy river and James river
dam bill veto messages, exposed the
fact that there Is a Water Pouer trust,
threatening to monopolize one of the
most valuable natural resources, Con
Cress and administrative officers have
been struggling with the problem of
protecting the public interest In powers.
The step that was announced today Is
believed to make a precedent which will
establish In all such cases In future
the rule that the public must be fully
protected.
" The Connecticut River Power Com
pany asked Congressional authority to
dam that stream near Windsor Locks.
Conn., and.' at an expenditure of about
JW00.C00. devclOD one of the greatest
powers Iff the country. Part of the proj
ect Included. building a lock" and chan
nel as an aid to navigation, this being
done entirely by the corporation.
Divides With United States.
In addition, the company Is to divide
Its profits with the Government. It
gets all up to S per cent on the Invest
ment; then between 8 and 9 per cent
elves the Government half; and above
S per cent gives the Government an In
creasing ratio. After thirty years on
this basuv. there is to be an entirely
new adjustment of relations between
Government and company; and from
that time, a like readjustment will be
made each ten years during the con
tinuance of the grant, which is fifty
cars. .
This mutuallzatlon of Interests and
benefits Jiasbeenaccomplished only after
much negotiation. Until very recently,
the water power promoters flatly re
fused to make such terms, protesting
that the restrictions rendered it im
possible for them to finance their proj
ects. But when the Government stood
firm, they melted.
The first big accomplishment was in
- the matter of the Great Falls, Mont.,
project, which was handled by Secre
tary Fisher. The power company con
sented to the various conditions Im
posed by the Government, -as to control
of Tates, compensation, etc.
Established Precedent
That settlement -established a prece
dent) for the lntcr-mountaln country,
and broke down the claim of the power
promoters that they couldn't get money
for Investment in their projects if the
Government insisted on limitations in
the public interest- Now comes Oe
Consecticutr river settlement, which es
tablishes "the same proposition in the
East.
The power companies, according .to
Government', officials, are recognizing
that they are not coins to eet powers
unlee .they -make proder"terms. Being)
convinced of 'fhls. they art coming in
to negotiate for the best, conditions pos
sible.. ' In annouqclngjlolay the Connecticut
" river agreement, and recommending to
Congress that the pending bill do now
pass. Secretary Stimson said:
. This case offers a good illustration
of what can be done -under the policy
of Insisting upon compensation for the
grant of these privileges. It has hltli
Tto been the policy of the nation to
allow these water powers to pass Into
private hands without getting anything
for them whatever. Only a jcar ago
this company sought the privileges
granted by this blll and expected to
get all of the profits from the water
power development for its own use. And
It would have done so had the same
policy been carried out which has ob
tained in the multitude of other similar
1)111 passed in former jears. Under the
policy now insisted upon by President
Taft, It turns out that they are not only
willing to make this large initial in
vestment for the benefit of the Govern
ment, but they are perpared to sharo
their profits beyond d per cent, with
the Government, under conditions w hlch
provide for accuracy and publicity In
deterinlng what those .profits shall be.
I think that evcrv public Interest U
satisfied by the bill, and the fact that
lt Is also satisfactory to those per
rons -who are about to embark their
money Into the enterprise Indicates that
a legitimate development of water power-
Is reconcilable with a proper protec
tion of the Interests of the public I
earnestly hope the bill will be speedily
.enacted."
Many Want Jobs at
Panama Exposition
In the event that Congress passes a
bill providing for a Federal commission
to supervise the Panama-Pacific expo
sition at San Francisco In 1J15. Presi
dent Taft will not have to scout about
to find men willing to take the jobs.
Some with the reservation that a fat
talary be attached and others who
make no condition whatever, have writ
ten to the Presdent seeking the place. ,
, Some of them arc under the Impres
sion that a bill has been passed and
make urgent appeal for immediate ap
pointment. Woman Says She
Was Robbed in Church
Mrsr J. H. .Montgomery, of S Fowlers
HI1, complained to the police of the Sev

robbed of a purse containing 319 while
In Trinity Church, Georgetown, Wednes
day evening. The purse was taken front
her handbag, which she carried on her
arm. As she was leaving the church
Mrs. Montgomery noticed the bag was

BGURASSA PREDICTS
CANADIAN
FREEDOM
Leader of Laurier Faction Com
pares .Situation to That of
Thirteen Colonies.
V
BOSTON. Jan. 21. The feeling be
tween Canada and England today is
much similar to what the feeling was
between England and the thirteen
Amer can colonies In 1775, and It will ul
timately result In absolute freedom for
Canada, according to Henry Bourassa.
leader of the Laurier bolt In the last
Canadian political campaign, and strong
opponent of reciprocity. Bourassa made
tne statement In an interview here.
"The greatest question of the day in
Canada," declared Bourassa. "Is that
of contribution to. Great Britain. Can
ada is a trans-continental country, and
as long as we are not represented In
the affairs- of the empire, we should be
under no obligations to that empire.
"It is the same thing over again ot
your original thirteen colonies taxation
without representation. Antl-Imperial-lsts,
and Indeed many other political
classes have turned against Borden be
cause of the dissatisfaction he has cre
ated by advocating a 5,000.000 appro
priation for English warships. The ad
vocacy chased Mr. Monk from the gov
ernment service.
"The opposition argument that we re
ceive protection from England, and
fchould. therefore, contribute to It, Is but
mere Incident. With no representation
abroad we should no more contribute
than did the thirteen or'ginal colonies.
Canada needs no navy. Canada does
need coast protection, especially at the
mouth of the St. Lawrence.
"We do not desire to secede from
Great Britain, but we would much
rather undergo natural development of
Independence under the nationalist Idea
than have constant friction and dis
agreements under imperialism."

GOMPERS
COMPENSATION BILL
Labor Leader Asks Judiciary
' Body to Hear Railroad
Men's Ideas of Subject.
Pleading for action on the working
men's compensation bill; Samuel Gomp
ers, president of the American Federa
tion, of Labor today asked the Juul
clary Committee to agree to an informal
conference between Its members and
representatives of the Railroad Brother
hood, some of whom are opposed to
the measure. In order that a compro
mise bill might be framed.
Gompers declared that the bill had
passed the Senate only after a hard
tight by friends of labor ,and that- un
less It was reported favorablyi by the
committee, it meant beginning the
fight all over again 'next session.
The labor leader said that Iwhlle he
believed the measure before the com
mittee was gnerous, he wan prohlbtcd
from "advocating" It by the objection
from certain divisions of the brother
hood.. -
Replying to the suggestion made by
one ot the railroad Brotherhoods that
every: accident to a workman be cov
ered by the 'compensation act, Gompers'
said:
"Whiles no one Is more opposed to
Present industrial conditions than I am,
I realize that somo accidents are un
avoidable they just occur, if we pass
a bill Embracing every act, we are like
ly, to make iL-dlfflcult or impossible ot
enforcement. There Is nothing that
would do more harm to workmen's real
coiApcnsatlonthan the passage ot such
a law'.'"
Of Jury awards for ,damages during
the last year, Gompers said that only
one-eighteenth, had gone to the litigants,
and 'that the" average life of each case
was four jeara.

Burnett said today, would in all prob
