wide open mouth and a loud, clear
voice.
The young ladies who took part ac-
ITALY looked sweet enough to eat. and
the good advice which fell from their

be very much interested in the recita-

TARIFF ON STEEL
IS NEEDLESS
Carnegie, in Committee
Hearing, Says Americans
Can Live Under Free
Trade.
Special to The journal.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Andrew Car
negie, famous for the millions he
made in the steel business, and his
views on economic problems, made a
most entertaining, if not instructive,
witness before the house ways and
means committee in connection with
the proposed revision of the tariff.
Although on the stand nearly eight
hours, Carnegie laughed and joked
good naturally throughout. He exas-
perated several 'stand-patters" with
his epigrammatic replies; praised the
genius of Charles NJ. Schwab: urged
the committee TO accept the testimony
of Judge Z. II. Gary, as conclusive,
and told several funny stories.
He avoided figures. however, to
such an extent that it is doubtful If
the tariff trainers are any more en-
lightened on the steel question tonight
than they We're before Carnegie took
the stand. His principal contention
was that the steel industry needs no
more protection; that it has reached
the point where American manufacture
ers can compete with the world UNI
der free trade conditions

To CONSERVE
WATER POWER
Bill to Be introduced in Con-
gress For Regulation of
Building of Dams.
ey Associates Press.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Practically
the first steps toward more jul
dicious use of the water powers of the
country in line with the policy of
President Roosevelt TO conserve the
natural resources of the United States
are now being taken by the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce in the preparation of bill
to regulate the construction Of dams
across navigable waters.
Preliminary discussion of the sub
iect has developed the fact that there
is a strong opposition in congress to
the government leyying a tax on the
use of the water powers on the navig-
able waters in spite Of the sugges-
lions Of the president that such a tax
be required.
Subsequent To the veto last spring
by the pfesideut.~of the Rainey bill,
the interstate and foreign commerce
committee of the house appointed
subcommittee TO investigate the sub
ject of new legislation in regard to the
regulation of dams across navigable
waters. During the summer and fall
this subcommittee went into various
phases of the matter and Chairman
Stevens, of Minnesota, is now ready
10 explain to the full committee the
recommendations of the sub-commit-
tee. This will be the first matter con-
sidered after its return from Panama.
The subcommittee will urge that the
full committee recommend TO the
house that the present laws be amend
ed so that the secretary of war may
fix charges for the privileges of con-
structing a dam. Ii Will make an al
tentative recommendation that this
money either be devoted to restoring
conditions of navigation to the original
state before the dam was constructed
or be turned into the treasury TO be
applied 10 the improvement of navi-
CATION generally.
In his message, the president point
ed out that while it appeared that un-
der the present law there was a
method of forfeiture of permits. when
conditions were not met, owing to
there being no definite imposition of
the duty OF declaring a forfeiture on
any administrative officer, permits
were really not forfeited The sub
committee will urge that this duty be
imposed upon the secretary OF war
The subcommittee has accepted the
recommendation of the president that
there be specific time Limitation on
the permits and has fixed 80 years as
the limit This is done with a view
of the public keeping control of the
great waterways and of the govern
ment retaining the right to eventually
remove dam should il become an OBJ
struction under changed conditions
