Use Of WATER POWER
UNDER NEW PROGRAM
Regulations to Be Adopted Agreed
Upon at White House
Conference.

Secretary Garrison and Secretary Lane
carry out the understanding reached at
the White House conference last night
regarding the pending water power de-
velopment legislation in Congress.
The differences between the Interior
and War Departments and the interstate
commerce and public lands committee of
the House. and between the advocates
and opponents Of the Adamson bill which
is designed to open up water power re-
sources on all the larger navigable
streams through grants to private cap

lie lands committee: Representative Adam

power within the Jurisdiction of the public
lands, to authorize exploration of coal,
phosphate oil. gas. potassium or sodium
and to provide system Of leasing the
coal lands in Alaska to private individ-
uals for developing the resources there.
Differences About Adjusted.
The opponents Of the Adamson bill
have feared that it might be construed
to repeal all the benefits Of the millions
Of dollars Of work OF the government in
the construction of irrigation projects,
that 1t might leave q loophole for per-
petual ownership of water power rights
on navigable streams. and that instead
Of providing that dam owners shall pay
to the United States not exceeding
per cent of the fair value Of the United
States land that the dam interests might
occupy for the construction and MAIN
tenance Of the dam and accessory works,
the fixed charges to be paid the govern
ment should be left absolutely in the dis
erection Of the Secretary Of War.
There were other objections raised. Spon-
sors for the Adamson bill contended that
these objections were not well founded.
but agreed to various notifications, which
are TO be drafted and upon this basis the
di6sxsncss have been largely composed.

on duty, but 1t was a good-natured crowd
without a semblance of disorder.

Huerta delegates will go to New York
to stay.
To Fix Date Of Meeting.
Minister Naon Of Argentina. after his
conferences in Washington with Luis
Cabrera expects to telegraph the
Huerta delegates some definite idea Of
the time when the informal conferences
will be convened. It was learned that
there would be no changes in the per-
sonnet of the Huerta delegation when
1t treats with the constitutionaltsts.
Emilio Rabasa head of the Huerta
delegation, said he was pleased with
the accomplishments of mediation thus
far. The recess of mediation still holds
in effect the armistice between the
United States and the Huerta govern
ment at Vera Cruz. No protocol has
been signed as yet indicating when the
American forces will be withdrawn
from Vera Cruz. This has been left for
consideration after the two Mexican
factions agree on the new provisional
government 1t is expected that this
protocol, along with others already
signed, will be embodied later in
complete agreement to be signed by
the constitutionaltsts. the Huerta dele
gates and American representatives
This would clear up finally all points
of international difference and fix date
for the recognition of the new govern
ment.
