BERLIN. June 3.-A nasty contro.
versy which has already involved
most of the high officials and the en-
peror has arised over the question Of
which is the better To be adopted for
army use. rigid or flexible airships.
The recent phenomenal flight Of the
Zeppelin dirigible has added fuel 10
the flames and the signal corps Is d.
vided as never before.
The Zeppelin machine is a rigid one
while the smaller types. the Gross
and the Parseval. are flexible. The
war once has steadfastly rejected the
Zeppelin type and has purchased only
the Gross and Parseval models. This
has caused friction with the emperor,
who has openly insisted that the Zep.
pelin machine is the best Germany
has yet turned out.
This declaration has almost caused
an open rupture between the kaiser
and his own military advisers.
The latter, headed by Baron Lyncker.
chief OF the imperial military cabinet,
stubbornly belittles all of Zeppelins
achievements. and resisted the en-
peror's efforts to force the construc
ton OF Zeppelin machines for the
army use. So far they have been un.
successful. but the recent flight of
the count has brought many To his

than $4,000.
The details OF The gamble-for
gamble II was-have just come 10 the
surface. The favorite boast OF
Lucky" Baldwin during his lifetime
was that he would distribute his money
where he pleased and that he would
leave viii that could rot be broken
To make sure that his will would stand
af he left 1t. he had a clause inserted
which provided that II any heir should
contest IL the contestant should lose
all of his or her share.
With this clause confronting them,
the lawyers set themselves TO the task
OF breaking the will without contesting
II, and losing TO Mrs. Baldwin even her
small share. Before tho widow would
SHOW the lawyers TO go ahead, they
promised her that II they failed they
would stand all expense and would
pay to her in addition the $500
left to her In the will
Then they came out into the open,
declaring Mrs Paldwin's intention TO
contest the will on the ground that

CONSERVING WATER POWER.

President Roosevelt's veto of a bill
authorizing a power company to on
struct a dam across the James river in
Missouri for developing electric power
is in perfect keeping with public sem
timent in favor of preserving the
natural resources of the country for
the benefit of the whole people, in
stead of allowing them to be appro-
priated by individuals and corpora
tions. The president contends that the
water power of the country alone, if
fully developed and wisely used, is
sufficient for our present ~transporta-
ton, industrial, municipal and do
nestle needs, and that to give it away
would be an act of folly.
In the Missouri case, the president
was we'll within his rights, as the
James river is scheduled on the maps
OF the War department as a n~avigable
stream and subject to federal regula-
ton n control. In the west, how
ever, this rule does not generally ap-
ply, and the precautions adopted by
the president can be taken only by the
state authorities. The need of state
conservation is quite as important as
national conservation, and indispen-
sable to the perfection Of the national
plan. Wisconsin, apparently, is alive
to this important question, and the
present legislature has submitted an
amendment to the state constitution
to be voted on mex fall. authorizing
state bonds for public improvements
wherever the purpose of the work is
to conserve energy. the ultimate OBJ
ject being to establish state control of
water power.
In most of the older states the most
valuable water rights have been given
away to chartered corporations and
the problem of securing new power
or OF retaining abandoned powers is
a serious one on account Of the con-
hict OF the claims Of these chartered
corporations. The president intimates
that the west is faced with a similar
danger, and that an electric concern
has already made alarming progress
in securing control of the most valu-
able power sites in the Rocky noun
tains and in other sections of the west.
He predicts that unless prompt action
is taken by the federal government
and the states the Power trust will
soon nave practically entire control OF
