SPLIT ON WATERPOWER
LIEUT.. GOV. STRANGE AND NEAL
BROWN DEBATE QUESTION.
Wausau Democrat Declares officials
Views Are Socialistic and Tinctured
with Political Ambition.

OSHKOSH. Wis, Jan. 81 Special |
Ownership of water powers i'll Wis
consin was discussed Tuesday night be-
fore the Candlelight club. the speakers
being Lieut.. Gov. Strange of Neenah
and Neal Brown of Wausau-
Mr.. Strange argued thht the state
should appropriate ali undeveloped water
powers and should proceed to develop
these and lease the power TO consumers
lie favored at least a mild control or
regulations over the water powers which
are already developed but denied that
he had favored the state taking posses
sion of water powers already developed.
He was opposed to private interests ac-
Quiring control of undeveloped water pow
ers for private gain. He also favored
the securing by the state of large acre
ages of land for reforeSting.
There was little of tenderness in Mr.
Strange's discussion of the water power
on the Fox river between Menasha and
Depere. He said the owners greatly
abused their privileges and held back
growth of manufacturing plants. He
said water power was too great a power
to place in the hands of any one man
or corporation.
Mr.. Brown said he was not a candi-
date for any office and he charged Mir.
Strange with being altruistic because
he was seeking office. He also said
Mr.. Strange had expressed socialistic
views in the matter of water powers.
Mr.. Brown declared that the private
ownership of water powers was all right
and that men who had put in much cap
ltal in developing them should be per-
mltted to realize on that development.

The matter has not yet come before the

PRINCESS BARES LOVE STORY.
Relates Tale of One Who Died Young
Identity Unknown.

MUNISH, Bavaria, Jan. 4.There has
lust been issued by local publisher a
book of verses which has proved the SEN
sation of the German season. 1t is real
ly the anonymous autobiography Of
princess and is entitled Poems of One
Who Died Young"
In it the princess describes her birth
and her unhappy attachment to prince
of q royal house whose physical intirmi-
ties prevented her marrying him. Finally
she gives a description of her own fu-
neral services in vast cathedral, telling
that she is buried in the wedding dress
she never used.
The mention of a troop Of heavy dra-
coons gives color to the belief that the
princess belonged to the nobility of Ba
yaria, in which state alone heavy dra-
goonS are to be found. She describes
with great detail how her beloved came
to her while she was at an Alpine-like
lake, which is generally believed must
be the Bayarian lake resort of Hohen-
schwangau. Then she tells with much
pathos how the lovers were obliged to
part. She relates how the imperious de-
mands of her family compelled her to
marry another. After the birth of her
child the heroine gradually sinks into
her grave. The end comes to her while
she is visiting on the Riviera.
The problem of identity is at present
unsolved. The poems are said to be
good
