BIGWAIER POWER
MONOPOLY FORMS
And IS Preparing to Obtain Control
Of This Natural Resource.
CONGRESS MUST ACT At ONCE
OXFORD Plnehct says That Remedial
Legislation at Coming Session
Alone Can Save Peoples
Rights.

Washington, Oct, 2.-Unequivocaly
asserting that monopoly now Is IN
process Of formation whose object y
to obtain possession Of the water pow
ar sites Of the country, Gfford Pin.
chot, chief Of the bureau Of forestry,
who returned from an extended IN
spection in the west declared that
remedial legislation must be enacted
at the coming session Of congress y
this great natural resource is to be
preserved to the people.
The problem OF how best to prevent
the nations water power sites from
being gobbled up by such combina'
tions, Mr. Pinchot predicted, will be
one of the biggest issues before the
next session OF congress. The alleged
trust is now In the formative stage,
Mr.. Pinchot declared, and prompt &C.
ton on the part Of congress Is neces
sary to throttle 1t.
Another big problem which will con-
front congress will be disposition OF
vast areas OF coal lands In the west,
principally In Alaska 1t is important
that congress should take prompt ac-
ton on this important matter Mr..
Pinchot said, for the protection OF the
country's fuels supply and also to pre-
vent monopoly in that product.
Any doubt that may have existed as
to whether Mr.. Pinchot would con
tinue to advocate the policies for
which he has fought SO hard was set
at rest by him.
AS result of his western tour
he is as fully determined as ever to
continue his policies regarding the
conservation OF the country's natural
resources and the great national forest
reserves. He asserted that President
Taft Is thoroughly lmbued with the
conservation movement, and declared
that the people are now more COM
pletely aroused over the matter than
ever. President Taft, Mr.. Pinchot
said, has expressed himself in favor Of
a conservation commission and added
that he (Pinchot) was also in accord
with that suggestion.
After declaring that there Is q
water power trust certainly in the
process Of formation" Mr.. Pinchot
added:
I'm my judgment. the tendency to
consolidation which 10 now running
through all industrial enterprises, viii
necessarily in the end, lead to the
consolidation Of the water power In
terests exactly as 1t has to conSolida-
ton Of steel and oil interests. There
has got to be legislation on this water
power business. President Taft has
Indicated his intention OF asking con-
gress for legislation governing, as
understand 1t, the disposal OF water
power sites on the public domain; SO
that the whole water power question
will naturally be taken up before con-
gress. lie question is, are we going
to give these power sites In per
petuity? That is a question with which
congress will have to DEAL
rs It possible to head on this SO
called trustg" Mr.. Pihchot was asked.
THE government cannot probably
prevent formation Of such d .inopoDo-
Iys he replied, "but L can control
ii. / regard this matter as one Of the
most important questions with which
congress will have to deal"

Twenty-four families IN the handsome

TO the street by fire at 80 o'clock this
morning, which FOR n time threatened
the entire structure and made persons
In the adjoining houses and across the
street and back in one Hundred and
sixth street leave their homes.
The fire started in the rear OF an
apartment on the fourth floor, occupied
by Leopold lerzfelIer, his wife and
eight months old daughter.
Mrs Herzfelder was awakened by the
cracking flames and smell OF smoke.
She aroused her husband and, with the
baby in her arms, she and Mr. Herr
fielder lost no time in getting to the
street. AS they raced down the stairs
they yelled Fire
William Nanderhorst. the negro eleva-
tor boy, aroused the FAMILIES By tele-

then ran his car TO the top floor. 1t
was quickly loaded with men and
women, none OF whom had taken time
to dress.
The boy made ten trips In all in the
elevator, and each time he brought
down a big load OF screaming tenants
Some Of the tenants cid not wait for
the car and sprinted down the stairs.
The hallway and all the apartments
IN the house were soon filled with
smoke and as the flames burnt through
from the Herzfelder rooms and fnred
against the marble and iron stairs the
heat was b!sterlng in the elevator shaft
Before the arrival OF Engine Company
No, u, which was the first to respond 10
the alarm, the flames had shot out OF
the rear OF the apartments, and several
houses IN one Hundred and Sixth street
were in danger. The smoke had found
its way into the houses at No. Il and n,

irgs moved out and joined the scantilv

street
The fremen attacked the blaze from
front and rear. The fact that tenants
had taken the preCauton to close their
doors Leading to the main hallway pre-.
vented the flames from being sucked
into other apartments in the house.
The fire was confined to the Herr
