Senate Public Lands Committee
Reports Adversely to Right
Of Federal Control.

Acceptance of Report VIII End Pro-
posal That Government Shall
Lease Rights.

Chicago, Feb. "A special to Tho
Tribune from Washington says:
The federal conservation of water
power has been struck sledse-hamrner
blow by brief prepared for the public
lands committee Of tho senate under the
direction of Senator Knute Nelson OF
Minnesota. The brief holds that the
control Of water for purposes other
than navigation rests with the states
rather than with the federal govern
ment
This doctrine is regarded as eonsti-
tuting bar to the water power bill
which was drawn by Secy. BaiIinger
and introduced In the senate by Sena-
tor Nelson with the administration
approval. Its acceptance will make an
end TO the proposal that the federal
government undertake TO lease the
water power rights, with provisions TO
regulate the price to the consumer and
with reservation that the amount or
payment 10 the federal government
shall be subject to readjustment at
stated periods.
This situation is all the more serious
for the conservation program because
1t Is regarded as a logical conclusion
of the position which Senator Nelson
took in the James river fight with
President Roosevelt. The outlook is
that the senate committee on lands, in
the interest OF consistency. again will
support Its chairman. as 1t did in the
James river case
That there shall be no question of
the presidents power to withdraw pub
lie land for conservation and continue
