Postal Savings Bank Bill Called
Up in the Senate by Car
ter of Montana.

Washington, Jan. e-The bill to es-
tablish postal savings banks was taken
up by the senate today and read for
amendments. Senator Carter announc-
ing that he would not attempt to get a
vote on the bill until next week.
That state banks should be used as
government repositories for postal
funds was proposed in amendments of
fered by Senator Smith of Michigan.
Senator Cummins of Iowa and Gore or
Oklahoma.
Senator McCumber, Fulton and others
declared in favor of placing such state
banks on an exact equality with ma
tional banks as government deposito-
ries. Mr.. Smiths amendments proposed
the acceptance of state, county, num-
cipal or United States bonds as security.
Senator Piles offered an amendment
providing that postal savings funds be
deposited Tatable among banks of d
city only on a basis of their capitaI
stock and surplus.
Amendments offered by Senator Car

OPPOSITION IN THE SENATE
Frank H. Hitchcock Cannot Hold
Craftsmanship and Cabinet at
the Same Time.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Aecording to
gossip about the senate, the hesitancy Of
President-elect Taft in announcing for
mally his selection of Frank H. Hitch
cock, chairman Of the Republican ma
tional committee, to be postmaster gem
erai is due to sagges ton that the
nomination might call out opposition IN
the senate. 1t has been said that if ne
continued to hold his position as ma
tional chairman considerable objection
would be raised to his serving as the
head of the postoffice department,
which has more federal patronage than
any other of the executive departments.
Mr.. Hitchcock became first assistant
postmaster general under Mr.. Cortei-
you, and ne organized pOstmasters and
other federal employees to a degree that
made them q political power. If the
Hitchcock nomination comes to the
senate and opposition to confirmation
is raised it is said an effort win be
made to induce Democratic senators to
take the lead in order to save certain
Republican senators from embarrass-
ment.
Intimate friends of Mr.. Hitchcock de-
clare that in the event it became neces-
sary for him to choose between the ma
tional Craftsmanship and the postmaster
generalship, he would retain the for
mer place.

SENATOR SOMEWHAT ANGRY

No Revolt in Idaho.

Boise. Ida, Jan. 6.-Aroused to action
by the temerity of friends who believed
they saw defeat in the confusion of ma
neuvers directed against him, Senator
Hepburn arrived in Boise today, only to
determine after a brief view of the po-
liticai situation to return to Washington
at once. With a pronounced expression of
confidence in the legislators upon whom
his fate depends, and mingled sarcasm
and ridiculs for those who have attempt
ed to oppose his reelection, he discussed
the trend of events which during the last
week cast a cloud upon his senatorial no
rizon.

CHEAP WATER IS
WHAT THEY WANT
Opposition Develops to the San
Francisco PIan'Of Roosevelt
in Yosemite Park.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Opposition has
developed to the proposition to allow
the city of San Francisco to acquire
portions of the Hetch-Hetchy and Lake
Eleanor reservoir sites in the Yosemite
National park for the purpose Of a mu-
nicipal water supply. The Sierra club
of San Francisco, the Appalachian
Mountain club of Boston and certain
individuals have filed protests with the
house committee on public lands
against the granting of the privilege
sought, and a hearing was held by the
house lands committee today in opposi-
ton to the project.
In letter to the committee on public
lands, signed by John Muir, the presi-
dent of the Sierra club of San Francis
co, and William F. Babe, ]. n. Leieonte
and c. T. Parson, director of the club,
it is claimed that if the Hetch- Hetchy
valley is damned and submerged as
proposed, it viii be rendered utterly in
accessible for travel, and that no road
could be built around the borders of the
reservoir without tunneling through
solid granite cliffs. Another contention
is that this use of Hetch-Hetchy would
defeat the purpose and nullify the eff
feet of the law creating the national
park.
The proponents of the San Francisco
water scheme desire the use of Hetch-
Hetchy," continues the letter, mot be-
cause water as pure and abundant can
not be obtained elsewhere, but because
as they themselves admit the cost
would be less, for there are fourteen
sources of supply available We do not
believe that the vital interests of the
nation at large should be sacrificed and
so important part of its national park
destroyed to save a few dollars for local
interests
