The Return Of Sulzer.

Governor William SuiZer OF New York,
the former chairman of the House Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs. telegraphed to-
day 10 the committee that he will come TO
Washington on January q TO protest
against the report of a bill disposing Oh
the old controversy regarding the use OF
the water power at Niagara Falls. GOV
ernor Suzer strongly objects 10 some OF
the provisions OF the bill. which, lie as
serts. will deprive New York of It's rights
The bill now under consideration by the
House committee provides that the Secre-
tary of War may issue permits for
diversion OF the water at the Fails ana
Oh this section there is little difference oil
opinion. Another section of the measure
would. in effect, deprive the Public SER
vice Commission Of New York OF the right
TO fix the rate which shall be charged
consumers Of electricity generated at the
Falls. Representative Smith, the Ne"
York member OF the committee, is nghl-
ing this provision, which gives the federal
government primary and New York state
secondary authority over rates. Governor
Sulzer il is said, is also opposed TO such a
SCHcHe, anu Ht VIII aPpV"i
committee of which he was once CHAIR
man to air his views concerning the pre-
negatives of New York. Representative
Smith charges that the bill as drawn
would put the consumers Of electricity al
the mercy Of the power companies, as the
measure contains a provision that IN
granting permits the Secretary OF war
shall give preference to those companies
now utilizing the Niagara Falls water
power Mr.. Smith asserts that the power
companies have an understanding az u
prices. and that the passage OF the pro-
posed bill will render New York state
practically helpless from rate making
point Of view The Foreign Affairs Com
mittee will take no action until its former
chairman has been heard
