The preliminary exhibit of facts and
allegations about the explosions and
their supposed origin was gathered and
presented To the Federal authorities by
the National Ere etors' Association, an
organization of iron and steel manu-
faaturers and contractors who had de-

Washington, Aug. 15.-As a sequel
TO Secretary Fishers recommendation
last week that the government give
free coal lands TO cities in public LAND
states, TO be operated for the benefit
of the people, the secretary stated that
he would take practically the same pos
ition in regard to water supply and wa
ter power sites and oil lands.
In other words, the department of
the interior will officially cooperate
in the extension of municipal owner
ship and operation Of coal mines, wa
ter supply systems electric light and
power plants and oil wells.
Secretary Fisher announced that
whenever a municipality in a public
land state applied for a water supply
or water power site. with the legiti,
mate purpose OF developing it. he would
recommend that it have preference ov,
er a private applicant, individual or
corporation
Furthermore, the secretary viii rec
Ommend that the compensation exact
ed by the government for the use OF
the site shall be nominal, with an
| agreement that the government shall
turn the money into the improvement
OF contributory streams and water
sheds. The effect OF this would be
practically to return the money 10 the
municipalities treasury.
! In the opinion Of Secretary Fisher
I It would be necessary for the govern
ment 10 require a certain compensa
ton for the sites and power. although

could proper adjustment be made be

developed by water power and tha
generated by steam. According to tn,
