The that it failed to provide to pay rental to the government for the use and appii- cation of the water power. The situation presents ir an acute form the question that has been so ably discussed in the Senate and House on the jurisdiction of the federal government over the naviga ole streams
 When the President first sent in his mes sage on the subject 1t led to lengthy debate between Representative Richard son of Alabama, and Representative Will Hams of Mississippi, the latter inclining towards the position taken by the Pres ident while MT. Richardson combatted 1t and was ndorsed in the Senate by Sena- tors Nelson and Teller.
 The President reiterated the position he took in speech before the governors. Yesterday special subcommittee of the House conferred with the President about the bill and it is pretty well understood that they informed the President they would report in favor of overriding his veto.
 In the opinion of Representative Rich ardson the President is absolutely wrong in the position he has taken. The Rainey bill is one which might pertain to any other state in the union and the Ala bama member and his colleagues on the committee want the matter settled.
