Bill to Preserve Natural Re-
source Is Being Prepared.
Will Follow the Lines Suggested
iu Presidents Policy.
TAX LEVY is OPPOSED
Other Recommendations of Pres
ident Receive Support.
New Measure VIII Increase
Scope of Secretary of War.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Practically
the first steps toward a more judicious
| use of the water powers of the coun-
try in line wit hthe policy of Presi-
| dent Roosevelt to conserve the ma
tural resources of the United states
are now being taken by the house
committee on interstate and foreign
! commerce in the preparation of a bill
to regulate the construction of dams
across navigable waters
Preliminary consideration of the
subject has developed the fact that
there is a strong opposition in con-
gress to the COVE -nment levying a tax
on the use of the water powers of the
navigable waters in spite of sugees-
tlons OF the president, that such a tax
be required.
Subsequent to the veto last spring
by the president of the Rainey
project, the Interstate and foreign
commerce committee of the house an
pointed subcommittee to investigate
the subject of new legislation in re-
gard 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 to explain to the full com
mlttee the recommendations of the
subcommittee. This will be the first
the committee from Panama as it has
been set for January %. Members of
the committee were asked to consider
several constitutional questions in
VOWED, such as the power of the gov
ernment to levy a tax for the use. of
water power of navigable streams and
the disposition of the dams after the
expiration of the permits granted for
their construction
All the recommendations of the
president in regard to the improve
ment for the regulation of construc-
tion of dams are agreed to by the sub
committee except the recommenda-
ton that a tax be imposed
The subcommittee will urge that
the committee recommend to the
house that the present laws be so
may fix charges for the privilege of
constructing a dam. 1t will make an
alternative recommendation that this
money either be devoted to restoring
condition of navigation to the original
state before the dam was constructed
or be turned into the treasury to be
applied to the improvement of naviga-
ton generally. In his message the
president pointed out that while it ap-
peared that under the present law
there was a method of forfeiture of
permits when conditions were not met
owing to there being no definite imposi-
ton of the duty of declaring a forfeit
ure on any administrative officer
permits were not forfeited. The sub
committee will urge that this duty be
imposed on the secretary Of war. The
committee also has accepted the rec
ommendation of the president that
there be a specific time Hrnition on the
permits, and has fixed SO years as the
limit. This is done with a view Of the
public keeping control of the great
waterways and of the government re-
tanning the right to eventually remove
dam should it become an obstruc-
tion under changed conditions.

Fehringer went on the first ride of

Fehringer knew all the defendants
and had accompanied them on many
rides prior to the killing of Captain
Rankin. The night riders garb con-
sisted of long black coats, black
masks trimmed in white and some had
false boards attached to the bottom.
On one occasion Deputy Sheriff Mays

to a meeting unmasked. AT this m eet-

different localities and authorized to
order raids whenever the riders of a
certain locality thought they had
something to regulate.
AT times members failed to appear
for rides and on these occasions the
riders went after the missing men and
forced them to go on the rides
