Monterey Mex, July 1s.--Bearing, it Is said, message from the United states government to Gen Venustiano Carranza. first chief of the constitlitonalists, John R. Silliman. personal representative of President Wilson, arrived here today from Saltillo.
 While nothing of the nature of his message was given out, 1t is the belief that the communication bears on a pro posal to grant recognition to the consti- tutionlist government immediately if Car rapza agrees to enter Mexico City without further force of arms. No word has been received here from Provisional President Carbajal in Mex. leo City.

Writes Judge Crow of Jef- fersOn Circuit Court Urg- ing Prompt Investiga-

ACTION FOLLOWS SEVERAL WEEKS OF
 CORRESPONDENCE
Authorizes Special Term of Court to Be Held and Will Ask Super numerary Judge to Preside
 if Necessary = Wants
 Immediate Action

Montgomery, July 1s.-(Special.) Urging special grand jury investi- aation of the recent homicides in Jeff fcrson county and asking that the guilty persons be tried as early ms pos- ssbie, the governor of Alabama this afternoon wrote to Judge E. c. Crow of Birmingham, judge of the Jeffer- son circuit court, and requested that he cnll special grand jury into ses- sion and order special term of the circuit court.
 The governors action this afternoon fol- lowed several weeks of correspondence and personal investigation relative to the recent crimes in Jefferson county.
 Anxious to Avoid Delay
 The chief executive first entertained the idea of requesting Judge William E.. Fort of the criminal court of Birmingham to convene a special grand jury, but in asmlch as there was some doubt as to his authority to order special term of the criminal court, the governor decided to authorize a special term of the circuit court to be held. The law is explicit as regards the chief executives authority to order that court into special session, and since he is anxious that there should be no delay in the trial of the perpetrators of the various crimes in Jefferson during the past few months, he determined to adopt the course concerning which there is no doubt as to his authority. Should Judge Crow not be able to pre- side over the special term of court the governor will ask Judge W. A Aston of Clayton, supernumerary judge, to pre- side
 In discussing with The Ase-Herald cor respondent tonight his action in ordering d special grand jury and special tern of court in Jefferson county, the governor expressed the determination to have a full investigation of the many recent crimes in that county.
 Considerable Correspondence
 T have had considerable correspondence with the officials of Jefferson county rel ative to a complete investigation of erim- inal conditions that county said the governor Under the law l have no au- thority to employ special detectives or special attorneys to ld in the investiga- ton, hence have been compelled to re- sort to the only certain recourse which is left to me, that of ordering special grand jury and a special term My in- structfons to Judge Crow were that hoped he would summon a special grand jury as early as practicable, and that ,s immediate steps be taken for the trial of the guilty persons.''
 The governor deplored the fact that the law does not require grand Juries to re- main in session the greater part of the year in certain counties of the state, or that there are not means by which they might be immediately reconvened for the purpose of Investigating crime. He de- clared that he would recommend to the / next legislature that the criminal law be so amended as to provide speedier inves- tigations of crimes and prompter trials than at present obtained

 T inferred from MT Worthington's tes- be interested in the Alabama Power com pany, but upon referring to Goody man. ual, l found that the entire stock and bond issue of the Alabama Power com pany was owned by the Alabama Trac- tion company; and found that the Ala bama Traction company, controlling a large percentage of water power of Ala bama. was not a corporation organized in Alabama. not even in the United States, but corporation organized in Canada" MT. Lenroot characterized the original general dam act as drawn by the com mittee as a surrender to special privi- | llege.'' but admitted that recent amend ments somewhat extricated "the commit tee from the trap"
 l He declared that 'the great developed
 water powers of the country are largely controlled by 10 groups of interests. all of them more or less interlocking." The Wisconsin member also referred to the bill which passed the Sixty-second Con gress authorizing the Secretary of War to enter into contract with the Bir- mingham Water, Light and Power com pany for the erection of dams on the NdfrioTi fiNer, ana declared the proN1- sions Of that bill liberal. The bill pro- vided for a government rental of sl per horse power per annum, for the first 20 years, subject to readjustment at the end of that period, and with a minimum
 payment to the government after 1920, of $15000 per annum.
 MT. Underwood, in his address, spoke in part as follows
 Power to Enforce Law For the last decade the building of dam across the navigable rivers of the lreountry, to promote navigation, and at
 the same time, create hydroelectric de- velopment, has been a question much dis eussed, fruitful of some legislation and productive in the end of only meager re- suits.
 The Fffty-ninth Congress passed a gen. eral dam act. which was amended in the Sixtyfirst Congress. This legislation was ample and complete insofar as it authorized private capital to build dams and improve navigation under the super vision and direction of the engineer corps of the United States army. But the law l requires those desiring to avail them selves of the law to first obtain the con sent of the Congress, and it has now be- come practically impossible to obtain the consent of the Congress. under the pres I ent law
 The objection to all bills proposed in recent years can be stated as First, That the general law did not l provide for rate regulation in the interest 1 of the public.
 Second. That there was no provision | incorporated in the law to allow the pub (Contiuued on Page Six)
