GARRISON WOULD give
STATES Water REVENUE
Secretary of War Drafts Bill to Settle
Dispute Over Development
of Waterways.
TO BE OFFERED TO CONGRESS

Secretary of War Garrison has COM
municated to Representative Adamson.
chairman Of the Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee. an outline Of the
administration policy on the develop
ment Of waterpower in navigable streams.
and has drafted a bill embodying this
policy which he hopes will be presented
to Congress for consideration This policy
has been approved by President Wilson.
Mr.. Garrison has endeavored to break
the impasse reached by what have been
the conflicting views of this subject, one
element in the country maintaining that
waterpower development should be con-
trolled by the government and another
school holding that the government
should control only navigation, leaving
all else to the States. This has resulted,
Mr.. Garrison believes, in an era of do
nothing" on the part of the government.
Secretary Garrison's predecessor. Mr..
Stimson, was one of those who held that
the Federal government should share in
the profits. Mr.. Garrison believes that
it is more just to let the State be the
one to profit by waterpower develop
ments. His bill to effect the adoption OF
such a policy, Mr.. Garrison has described
to Representative Adsmson as follows:
Tt provides that those who wish to
dam a navigable stream, and incidentally
create wsterpower. must. as at present.
obtain the right to do SO from their state,
and then must obtain authority from the
Congress. The company seeking this right
must be public utility company.
THE state in which this company is
Incorporated, or in which IL operates,
must have provided a body authorized
to properly regulate public utilities of
this character and such body must have
provided proper regulations that the COM
pany shall make proper use Of the utility,
give proper service, make only reason
able charges, and otherwise conduct itself
in a way to conserve the rights of the
people in the use of the public utility.
The franchise or right may be any
period up to fifty years. There are pro
visions retaining power in the hands OF
the Secretary of War and in Congress
TO prevent violation of the things which
the act requires the company to do.
The State may make proper provisions
for the taxation or receipt of revenue
1t has been suggested that the State
might properly provide a scheme by
which, in consideration of no imposts, or
Of slight imposts, to dam and accessory
works should, at the end of a fixed
period. become the property of the
State"

SCENTS PLAN TO KILL
PARCEL POST SYSTEM
Representative Says Amendment to
Senate Bill Destroys Postmaster
Generals Power.

Representative David J. Lewis of
Maryland, today warned the House of
what he considers a plot, ''fiendishly I'M
fair, which threatens TO handcuff and
hOg-tie the parcel post system of the
United States
Mr. Lewis. in rapid-fire ten minutes
speech, told the House that under the
terms of an amendment TO the postoffice
bill, now pending in the Senate, the
Postmaster General would be the only
person in the United States who is de-
MED the right to go to the Interstate
Commerce Commission and ask an ad-
justment of rate schedules, and by il he
is put in the position of having TO de-
pend upon the national legislature to do
his rate making.
The parcel post, it can be proved by
figures based upon the returns from
fifty cities, turned in a profit to the
government of nearly $4,000 during the
last three months of 1913'' he said. IF
the power to regulate parcel post. rates
is taken away from the Postmaster Gen.
eral it is only a question of a short
while before the express companies will
take away from the parcel post all Of
its profitable business. The retention in
the postoffice bill of the Senate amend
ment destroying the Postmaster Gen.
erals right is easily worth $50, 0GO, 900 in
good, hard cash to the express companies
of the United States"

FEDERAL RESERVE HAS
CONFIDENCE OF BANKS
Comptroller Williams Predicts Presi-
dent Will Select Five Biggest
Men for Board.

-Ninety-ninc and one-half per cent of
the national banking capital of the coun-
try has come into the Federal reserve
system without the bankers knowing
what five men would be appointed to the
board"
John SHELTON Williams. Comptroller Of
the Currency, today made that statement
after predicting that President Wilson
would live up to the hopes OF banking
interests and select the five biggest men
for the Federal reserve board.
Asked If on his recent trip with the
organization committee he met any an
tagonism towards the new law, Mr.. Will
Jams said the bankers who appeared be-
fore the committee were in accord with
the scheme.
The Comptroller did not mention any
names that might be appointed to the
Federal reserve board. The President
will endeavor to name the entire quota
before March. ], 1t is understood. Fehru-
AIRY 3, has been set as the IastN day for
the national banks to come in under the
rev system. The must notify the organi-
cation committee before that of their in
tention or else must go into liquidation
by December Il, 1914.

CLERKS APPEALS
STIRLAWMAKERS
House Committeeman on Re-
forms in Civil Service
Are Convinced.
PENSIONS A NECESSITY
Daniel Goldschmidt. Postal Employee,
Makes Strong Plea for Re
tirement Plan.
PENSIONS A NECESSITY

Witnesses before the House Committee
on Reforms in the Civil Service, yester-
day convinced some of the greatest enc
mics OF civil service pensions that the NE
of a government clerk Is not path OF
roses, after all. No less pronounced an
advocate of limited civil service tenure
than Martin Dies of Texas, admitted
that one Of the witnesses, Daniel Gold
schmidt, a 81, 100 clerk IN the New York
City postoffce, made the strongest plea
he has vet heard on civil pensions.
Goldschmidt confined himself almost ex-
clusivcly to detailing the cost of living to
a man in his position, declaring that the
government was paying the clerks on the
same basis as forty years ago and expect
ing them to keep pace with the increased
cost of living at the same salary.
Can Itemize Expenses.
Il can itemize every cent I nave spent
for the last seventeen years" said Gold
schmidt II have not had a salary in
crease in nine years, and have not been
able to save. one cent in ten years. 1
have two children, to whom I hope to
give a decent education, but the struggle
is almost too great. You have kept US
with salaries based on conditions OF thir-
ty-nine years ago, and still demand that
a government clerk shall make a pre-
sentable appearance"
Goldschmidt presented what he termed
bedrock figures on the cost Of living
in New York for family of FIVE: Rent,
s231.25; food, s47S.7S; clothing, $15se4: fuel,
sI6.42; lunches, Sc. 10: dues. sz7.s2; med!-
cine, S2S.s3; ice. S1S25: car fare, s2372;
household supplies, Sc. 2I: all other miscel-
laneous, Sc 40. This totaled s1.0SS.1s.
This is bed rock" he explained. You
will notice 1t provides nothing for emer-
gencies. births, deaths or sickness"
Il shouldn't think you'd want any
Iirths.' remarked committeeman;
those figures are too near the average
salary"
Goidschmidt favored a contributory pen
sion plan and increased salaries for gov
ernment clerks. William f. Russell. pres
ident Of the United States Civil Service
Retirement Association, also appeared in
favor of coEtributcry plan.
Speaker CIark's Position.
Speaker Clark yesterday reiterated a
statement he made two years ago to The
Washington Herald, 10 the effect that ne
would support any contributory pension
plan that would not involve Federal eS-
renditures.
Let the civil service employees get up
retirement plan that will stand
actuarial tests and will be self-sustain-
ing" he said, land / will help 1t along
Such a bill could be passed, but I am
not in favor of pensioning these en-
rloyes out of the National Treasury.
THE trouble is that the young men IN
the service do not want to help bear the
cost of retirement pensions for the old
men. 1t will take a lot of work to pre-
pare plan that will be acceptable

GIRL OF Is VANISHES,
TAKING BROTHERS
Believed to Have Gone to Passaic,
N. j., to Visit Old Friend of
Her Family.

Giving no reason for leaving home,
pretty Louise Prestele, fifteen years old,
yesterday morning took her two little
brothers, Morris, aged twelve and Frank,
aged ten. and disappeared from 1916 Union
street southwest.
As a result their father, Francis Joseph
Prestele. an ironworker employed at the
new Bureau OF Engraving and Printing
Building, appealed to the police to make
an investigation of their disappearance.
Neighbors say the girl packed a suit
case shortly after her father and old sr
brother left home early yesterday morn
ing to go to work and announced she was
going to Jersey City, N. j., to see a
friend, but did not explain why she was
taking her two little brothers along.
At her home last night her father stated
she took sl5 of his money with her. The
only reason that can be assigned for the
disappearance of the three is that the
girl has taken them to Passaic, n. J.. to
see an old friend of the family who form
erly lived in Washington
The police are on the lookout and the
authorities at Jersey City. Passaic and
other Jersey towns have been notified.

American political entity.
This will result in the elimination of
much embarrassing and detrimental mis-
understanding between Congress and the
local community. insuring { more har-
mcnious and sympathetic cooperation
between them.
Furthermore. il will expedite Dis
