GREAT POWER DEVELOPED.
Use. Of Storage Reservoirs Accom-
plishes Great Work.

Use Of Storage Reservoirs Accom-
plishes Great Work.
Washington, May 1.-The greatest
development of water power that has
ever taken place in the United States,
has been accomplished during the last
few years on the rivers which drain
the Southern Appalachian mountains,
according to an official report on the
water resources of this region. 1t Is
estimated that there is at least $780,
900 indicated horse power developed by
the streams which have their head
waters on this water shed. and more
than half of this indicated horse pow
er is available for economic develop
ment.
Only comparatively small part OF
this has been made use of, but the
portion that has been utilized has been
one of the most important factors in
the recent industrial developments of
the south.
One great difficulty encountered by
the users of water power is the fact
that 1t cannot be depended upon the
year round, but must be supplemented
for a time each summer by costly fuel
power, the streams running too low to
be of service.
AS the years go on the low water
periods are growing longer. This is be-
cause the forests at the headwaters of
the streams are being cut off, it is
claimed, with the result that the melt
ing winter SHOWS and the spring rains
pour off the denuded and hardened
land in devastating floods, sending
down for few weeks far more water
than they can use, and moreover, re-
ducing the capacity and usefulness of
their mill ponds by filling them with
hundreds of tons of sand and soil,
which the floods scour off the unpro-
tected upper slopes.
If indiscriminate cutting Of the for
ests on the crests of the water shed
can be stopped, there is possibility
according to recent report of ex-
perts, of increasing the development
Of power UP to anywhere from three to
thirty times the 100000 horse power
at present available.
The method proposed to develop the
Appalachian river resources to the to-
tai Of 100000 horse power is by
storage reservoirs, which would catch
the surplus waters of the spring and
retain them until the summer months
when the mills now have to fall back
on fuel or close down.

priation should be made for this par

Chairman TaWney We're obdurate.
The president then took matters into
his own hands, called some OF the
younger men into consultation, and he
personally directed the fight on the
floor of the house, as result OF
which the appropriation of $4,000 was
raised to $350.000. thus completely
blocking the game of the railroads
and administering a serious blow TO
the prestige of the house leaders. who
had attempted openly to defy the
presidents railroad program and to
prevent any further investigation of
railroads.
President Roosevelt and every friend
OF rate regulation was aston1shed at
the attitude of the house committee
on appropriations. 1t seemed to be
directly in line with the boasts which
had been made by various railroad
people during the winter that they
proposed to stick a pin into the rate
law and prevent its being made the
source of annoyance to railroads.

ry ri Turpin, aged 80. succeeded In
drowning himself in the canal at
Steelton, near here.
Turpin spent the night in drinking
and early in the morning, accompanied
by his bull terrier, went to the canal
and plunged headlong into the stream.
Edward McCord and Frank Magnolia
saw Turpin in the water, and made an
attempt to reach him, but the dog
sprang at them, biting piece of flesh
from the wrist of Magnelli. The dog
was thrown aside and held by another
man who appeared on the scene, while
McCord and Magnolia swan to the
side of Turpin, and dragged him
ashore Turpin appeared to be very
angry because the men would not per-
init him to suicide.
Shortly afterwards, he returned to
the canal, and again jumped in. An
other attempt to reach the man was
made by the two men, but the dog at
tackled each one, and bit McCord on
the neck. Once more Turpfn was res
cued, and the men telephoned for a
policeman. Before he arrived, how
ever, Turpin, with the assistance OF
his faithful dog, got away from his
rescuers, and made a third and sue
cessful attempt to end his life.

ROOSEVELT RoUTs FOES.
Calls Youngsters to His Aid and Win.
Siqnificant Victory.

Significant Victory.
Washington, May 1.-With the as
sistance of some of the youngsters"
of the house President Roosevelt got
even with the leaders of the lower
branch of congress in forcible fashion
and prevented we'll designed effort to
tie the hands of the interstate COM
merce commission.
1t was a radical defeat for "Uncle
Joe" Cannon and Mr.. Tawney of Min
nesota, chairman of the appropriations
committee, and the remarkable thing
about it was that the president called
half dozen men to the White House
yesterday morning and inspired them
with so much ginger that they re-
turned to the house and beat the pro-
fessional leaders there by the narrow
majority Of SO to %.
The interstate commerce commission
had asked originally for an appropria-
ton of s750,0O0 to carry out the pro-
visions of the rate law requiring re-
ports from railroads of such detailed
character that the government would
be able to supervise their operations.
Subsequently the commission cut
down its estimate to 100000. The ap-
propriations committee. under the spe-
cial guidance of Chairman Tawney
disregarded the recommendation OF the
commission altogether and cut the
appropriation to the ridiculous sum of
$4,000.
The president at once recognized
that this was an attempt on the part
of the railroads. in an underhand way,
to prevent the commission from OBJ
tanning the desired information
He therefore went into the matter
in his last special message to con-

BRYAN. Having q large number or
delegates at the opening of the con-
vention, it will be only a question OF
gathering uninstructed delegates ana
the instructed delegates who are called
anti-Bryan, into the johnson fold and
the Minnesotan being nominated by
the necessary tWo-thirds vote.
Among the delegates who have been
instructed for Bryan, largely because
Governor Johnson's announcement
came too late, are those In Wisconsin
and North Dakota. Mr.. Lynch says
he is satisfied that most OF the dele
gates from these states are for john
son and will break away from Bryan
at the first opportunity. Sizing up
the situation as he sees 1t now, MT.
Lynch says
In my Judgment, Mr.. Bryan Will
fall short Of the necessary two -th1rds
majority on the first ballot. Ii hebg
will lose strength after that. II he
does not have two-thirds on the first
ballot he will not be nominated. we
are making most thorough canvass OF
the whole United States and are Won
derfully encouraged by reports we get
and the situation as we find 1t. we
are not making a campaign antagonls-
tic to Bryan. but are pushing Cover
nor johnson as a man who can COM
mand more votes than Mr. Bryan IN

talked with men from the south and
east principally among them John
Sharp Williams. of Mississippi, Mr.
Clayton of Alabama, Mr.. Lloyd OF
Missouri, Senator Simmons of North
Dakota and some of the other Leading
democrats of the house and senate.
II do not mean that all these gen.
tlemen expressed preference for Gov

have been greatly encouraged by the
interviews I have had.
81 think am safe in saying that
all the Atlantic coast and gulf states,
with the possible exception of Alaba-
ma and Mississippi, will send unin-
structed delegates to Denver. The ac-
ton of the democrats in Connecticut
and New York and New Jersey Is sig
nificant of what may be expected in
other states. The vote from the At
