pvMl of water-power •lies loom large
in this connection. The messagi will
recommend mat Congress-. pass a la v
.that will permit th*' development of
Water-p- w ar on public land ti> private
capital, but that the government shall
keep a restraining hand ..n the mn
ceffctons in order to prevent extortion
or monopoly.
Another hard conservation problem
that will be passed up to Congress
concerns th. disposition to be niad>
of the stores of coal, oil and phos
phates on public lands The ptizaie
submitted to <’ongre.se w •)) be the task
c>f devising a law that will to the
largest possifde degree protect th*- in

posed of one phase of the coal ijuen

coal deposit* and other problems re
main.
Two propositions that have hereto
fore been strongly urged upon Con
gress by the President will be re
pasted iri the message—an amend
ment of the Sherman anti-trust lau
anc Federal charters for corporations.
'-The proposed amendment to the
Sherman law would permit railroads
to enter into limited agreements as
to tales, subject to the approval of
th# Interstate Commerce Commission.
Any agreement between railroads to
IbE rates now is a violation of the
anti-trust law, It is asserted then
railroads could not be operated a*
paying business concerns withou.

Tiie Jury spent several hours . x
amlnlng the witnesses and visited the
scene of the accident to ascertain
exactly how it happened.
The mill people testified that the
conveyor had Wen ir. operation for
the past twenty years and that there
has never before been an accident -of
any character. They stated that they
had never given permission to any
body to gather corn there anti that '
all persons who had asked permission !
had been refused.
While the mills people are not re- I
sponsible for the death of the girl,
it is likely that they .will be required
by the authorities to arect a sign
warning all persons of danger. Tills
seems neeassary, as the top of the
conveyor is often left off while there !
is nobody around, as happened when > i
the girl was killed. ■
