HETCH-HETCHY BILL
LIKELY TO PASS
Borah Again Intimates There Is a
Powerful Lobby Behind
the Measure.
lFrnm The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. Dec. 5-Despite the fight
made by Senators Borah and others upon
the bill granting TO San Francisco the
use OF the Hetch-hetchy Valley as
reservoir site for a municipal water
project II is expected that the measure
will pass the Senate tomorrow when II
comes up for final vote.
Senator Borah declared to-day that the
massage OF the bill will be the entering
wedge leading to the distribution or all
the natural resources OF the country 10
corporations. which have already prohted
IN the extent of 100000 acres of public
land. The bill,'he said enables the CITY
of San Francisco TO obtain monopoly on
Tho water of the Tuolumne River, which
IL proposes to distribute to the other bay
cities
The question which occupies the at'eh-
ton of Senators is the conflict between
the advocates of the sovereignty or the
states in the matter Of water distributor
and the sovereignty of the federal gov
eminent. The federal government hao ITO
right. Senator Borah contended, TO APP
nrove the ARRANGEMENT by which san
Francisco obtains control Of the water OF
the Tuolumne River, and that the pro-
visions Of the bill safeguarding the In
terests Of the water users who depend
upon il for supply are OF no consequence
'Insidious influences work more Ell
fcaciously in Washington than IN any
other capital in the world said Senator
Borah. who again intimated that there

Republicans and Democrats
Look for Vote in Senate
by December 20.
LITTLE HOPE FOR
ANY AMENDMENTS
Senator Weeks Tells Colleagues
Democratic Measure Is
Worthy of Support.


Washington, Dec 5.-That the admins
tration currency bill will pass the Senate
by December 20, or at least before inc
Christmas holidays. was freely predicted
to-day on both sides Of the chamber. ne
publicans as well as Democrats are con-
WINGED that it will be fruitless to try 10
amend the bill to any extent. ana IL Is
expected that the debate will be or snort
duration after the Hetch-Hetchy bill is
disposed of tomorrow.
Senator Weeks, a Republican MEMBER
of the Banking and Currency Committee
and a member OF the Monetary Commas
sion. urged non-partisan consideration or
the currency question. and said frankly
that the bill proposed by the Democratic
members Of the committee had sufhclent
virtue TO be worthy OF the support OF tile
Senate even II II could not be improved
upon.
mo member OF the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee would vote for the
House bill as IL came TO the Senate, With
out material amendments" said Senator
Weeks, and | believe there is not
member OF the Senate who will not admit
that much benefit and knowledge has
been obtained by that committee which is
reflected in the two propositions offered
for consideration. Either one Of them,
in my judgment is materially better than
the bill as II came from the House.

Way Terminals Proposed.
From The Tribune Bureau.I

is making an inquiry into the feasibility
Of constructing an underground tube for
the delivery OF mail between the Penn
sylvania and Grand Central stations in
New York, with a view to introducing
bill for the establishment of the service.
The construction OF tube between the
two stations will. it is believed. do away
TO a certain extent with the automobile
service held accountable for many fatal
accidents in the streets OF New York.
The proposal has been received with
apparent approval by members OF Con-
gress. and an effort will be made to pass
the bill as soon as possible during the
present session. II It is approved by the

Overriding the Controller.


Previous Secretaries Of the Treasury
have so construed the law and have
scrupulously RETAINED from any il
reference with the Controllers pre-
negatives or the exercise OF his author
ity. Under this administration all this
is reversed and Assistant Secretary
Williams assumes to dictate 10 and
override the Controller as he sees fit
or az his own judgment dictates, while
Secretary McAdoo's official defence Of
his assistant is taken 10 indicate that
he approves this course.
Bankers are peculiarly sensitive on
this subject just now for the reason
that many of them are apprehensive
of the possibilities Of political control
involved in the new scheme of cur
rency regulation and issue under the
proposed Federal Reserve Board, and
they feel that any tendency to permit
the invasion Of politics into and the
curtailment OF the independence OF the
office of the Controller cannct but work
grave injury 10 the financial and bank
ing interests Of the entire country.
When Philip Milstone. the newsboy
who was brutally assaulted by two en-
ployes Of Frank a. Munsey yesterday
appeared in court this morning he was
confronted by an array Of counsel,
which included Wilton Lambert. the
personal legal representative Of Nun
sey.
IL had. apparently. become obvious
10 those legal lights that the charge Of
"disorderly conduct" preferred against
the boy yesterday was untenable, and
an effort was made To change the
charge TO one of obtaining money
under false pretenses" on the ground
that Milstone had been selling copies
of Wednesdays Tribune on THURSDAY
and that he was charging and getting
10 cents a copy, while the printed price
was only cents. The Corporation
information" against young Milstone,
his collateral was returned to him and he
was permitted to go free. Later in the
day he swore out warrants against the
two Munsey employees, which will be
served early tomorrow morning.

Say Law Was Violated.

That would permit OF the elimination
from the securities OF the United states
Trust Company, now held by the Treas
ury as partial security for the loan or
deposit. Of the second mortgage notes
and then the national bankers would
have no reluctance to guarantee the re-
naming 500 900, although even then
they would balk at executing instru-
ments which purport TO be applications
for funds needed to move the crops
Those who have been looking into the
law creating and controlling the office
of Controller Of the Currency contend
that they are more than ever convinced
that there was usurpation Of authority
on the part OF Assistant Secretary
Williams in oyerruling the Controller
and deferring official action in the case
~ the United States Trust Company
from Tuesday until Friday, or, rather,
until the early hours Of Saturday
morning, when, according 10 Mr.. Mum
sev's announcements. the United states
Trust iOUlDdIN BdNF'N i'''' no l'
session.
The authorities on the law set forth
that It was obviously the purpose Of
the Congress to make the position Of
Controller Of the Currency independent
Of any possible political control and
that for that reason the incumbent
was made removable only for cause,
was allowed a fye-year term-longer
than that Of the Secretary OF the
Treasury. under whose bureau the
Controllers Office is nomnally placed
and was otherwise made independent
the only reference 10 the Secretary OF
the Treasury in connection with the
Controller being the provision that he
shall be appointed on the recommends
ton of the Secretary Of the Treasury
with the advice and consent OF the

To Make Takers Talk.

Senator Bacon denied that there was
any purpose 10 restrict debate or exhaust
the Senate" and Senator Williams repeat
ed that the object Of the programme was
20 make the takers talk early, talk late
and talk continuously, until the takers
are talked out"
I'VE will not prevent debate " Mr.. Will
Jams shouted TO the Republicans. "You
will get your stomachs full Of debate.
But you cannot make Senators come here
and listen You cannot treat Senators
" the United States, free, white and
twenty-one. like lot OF schooboys, and
say: Buddy, here's your bench; sit on
it."

on the other side OF the chamber said
Senator James. Ito delay this bill. The
business interests Of the country are held
up while lot of gentlemen on that side

Senators Sutherland Gallinger and
Smoot vigorously dsclaimed any intention
to delay.

Thinks Either Worth While.

II think the one to which my name Is
attached has many features which are
superior TO those in the other. and get
can frankly and honestly say TO Senators
that in my judgment there is enough good
in this legislation. however much one may
dissent from some Of its provisions, 10
warrant its being supported. If this con-
clusion is sound, the insstence of the
Senate Committee on Banking and Cur
rency has not only been justified In get
ting wiser and better legislation, but there
has been no public condition which would
have warranted or which necessitated
earlier action Indeed, in my judgment,
this blll should now be thoroughly and
carefully scrutinized. every phase Of II
should be debated and every doubt in the
minds Of Senators should be removed.
Every Senator should listen TO the dis
cussion, should ask questions and should
GENE TO a conclusion on the merits Of the
many propositions involved independent
Of any fealty for any particular party or
loyalty TO any provision presented by
either OF the two factions Of the Senate
committee, for this legislation may be the
basis Of our banking and currency sys-
TENS for hundreds of years"
Senator Weeks, who pleaded for fair
play, criticised the course pursued by the
Democrats, particularly the attempts 10
stir Up prejudice by charges Of conspiracy
made against the bankers.
Let us be fair and sane about these
things" the Senator said. stop this talk
tending to prejudice class against class.
There are probably just as many patriotic
men in one class in proportion to their
numbers as in another. When men are
wrong or do wrong as individuals they
should be punished without regard to their

PLAY LAST NIGHT WAS
A DECIDED SUCCESS

If Lakeland theater-goers had any
misgivings as to the ability of the
Shakespearian players appearing at
the Auditorium last night, these
were quickly dispelled at the very
introduction Of the play, for one
could not but recognize that real
artists were depicting the various
characters In that grand production,
THE Merchant Of Venice. "
Not only was each performer ali
that could be desired, but every de-
tail Of costume, scenery. ETC., was
carried out to the minutest detail,
making one almost imagine they
were in Venice. Speaking Of the
scenery and costumes, they were In
deed handsome, the men In velvet
and satin attire and the women IN
their lovely gowns adding much to
the success of the play.
Mr.. D'Oize, as Shylock, portrayed
this difficult character with the skill
of real artist, while he was splen-
didly supported by Miss Flagg in the
role of Portia. Each of the per
formers did we'll and should they
return at later date to give Ham
let, as they now contemplate doing,
they will be greeted with crowded
