It is now considered certain that
much of the time of Congress next

pertaining 10 conservation of natural re-
sources. The bitter war between Sec

a number of sites pending legislation,
but if there should be no legislation,
then these water powers would be
thrown open 10 private interests.

HOT SPRINGS. Va, Aug. I3.-"Just
as the first Republican party incarnate

the big electrical interests will send "a
powerful lobby here to block such legis-

I'm the Senate and House there is a
strong element that takes the view that
the Government control over these

This means a clash in Congress between
this element and the men who are en-

That George w. Wickersham, now

were paid 100000 each in fees for
work in connection with the Geor-

way several years ago, was revealed
Tuesday during an examin alton by
representatives of the city and the
Chicago Railways Company OF the
"joint account" between the city and
the railway company.
Under the agreement between the sc
two parties, the city gets 55 per cent
of the gross receipts of the street
railway company excepting for GER
tain items of machinery which are
charged to the joint account. The
traction offic ials wished 10 charge
this little xem of $4,000 fees TO the

1t is estimated that the legal ser
vices for which WickerSham and
Krauthoff received this enormous
sum occupied 20 days OF the:r time
