ADAMSON SUGGESTS
STATE WATER POWERS
Chairman of House Committee Says
Commonwealth Need Not
Wait on United States.

| ATLANTA, Ca, March 13.-Chairman
Adamson of the House commerce COM
mittee, at banquet in his honor given
| tonight by the Georgia Bar Associa-
ton, declared that the development of
waterpower and hydro-electric plants
on southern streams would mean a
saving of millions of dollars and give
impetus to industry: that the states
had authority to develop their re-
sources without special consent of Con-
gress, and that even the nations pre-
paredness for war might be adversely
affected by neglect of such natural ad-
vantages.
IF the United States should unhap-
PLY become involved in war, he said,
and Chile should place an embargo on
the expectation of it's nitrates to the
hostiles or such cargoes should be
seized in transit, such situation might
be disastrous to our country for gen
necessary for gunpowder and various
military munitions and it is very diff
cult for any government which desires
to be prepared for war to keep a suf-
ficient supply on hand and 1t is very
expensive. The $22.00O.000 this country
annually pays Chile for nitrate could
be saved at home by the electrical ex-
traction Of nitrate from the air, MAX
ing cyanamid."
The states may act independently of
Congress, under existing law, said Mr..
Adamson. The act of 1899, he explain
ed, provided that the Secretary of War
could approve plans for improving nav
igation and developing waterpoweT by
private capital without special consent
of Congress, if authorized by the state
in which a river is entirely situated.
Criticises Vetoes.
Mr. Adamson criticised vetoes of
waterpower bills. President Roosevelt.
he said, began to veto bills when "ob-
jections to them came so fast and fu-
rious." He said President Taft signed
b lis for two years. but "he took Stim-
son into the war office and Pinchot was
son poisoned the faith and doctrine Of
President Taft"
Mr.. Adamson contended that obstruc-
tion of the Goat Rock dam on the Chat
tachoochee river. in Georgia, and dam
at Lock 12, on the Coosa, in Alabama.
ed the people of many times $780,
100000 by preventing development by
the private capital which was here
ready to invest, but which flew to other
countries
Mr.. Adamson declared it was growing
more difficult each year to secure ade-
of streams. He said he knew of mil
lions of dollars that would come to
Georgia if invited. Either from igno-
-"nce prejudice. influence of special
interests or demogogy." he concluded,
all activity 1anguishes in all other
calities are denied development Of

tricity. The hour of Georgia's oppor-

NEW TRIAL IS ORDERED
IN CASH REGISTER CASE
United States Court Overrules Con.
viction Of John H. Patterson
and Twenty-Six Others.

CINCINNATI. March 1s.-Holding
that the evidence on one count was in
sufficient and that neither of the other
two counts should have been consid-
cred by the district court which tried
the case, the United States court Of
appeals for the sixth circuit today over
ruled the decision of the lower court
which convicted John H. Patterson and
twenty-six other officials or former Of
ficials of the National Cash Register
Company of Dayton. Ohio, of being
guilty of violating the criminal sec
tion of the Sherman antitrust act and
remanded the case back to the lower
court for new trial
Charges in Case.
The first count charged conspiracy to
monopolize the cash register trade of
this country, while the other two counts
charged the monopoly of the trade.
The upper court held that while the first
count was in proper form to present to
the jury, yet evidence had been intro
duced concerning National Cash Regis
ter competitors who had not been in
existence during the three-year limit
of law previous to the finding of the
l1lulClHlcHt his eNlucICe, lHe court
said. should not have been allowed.
The court continued:
I'VE think that there was conspiracy
against competitors during the years
that the National Cash Register Com
pany was making its first fight, but
the evidence showing that a conspir-
acy did exist only brings US to the
door of the three-year period and it
was for us to decide whether it had
entered that door"

GREECE REFUSES
OFFER OF CYPRUS
DECLINES MILITARY AID TO AS
SYST IN MEETING BULGARIAN
AND GERMAN ATTACKS.
Hellenic Kingdoms Decision Net to
Join Allies Based Upon Ground
That Force Landed at Saloniki
is Unequal to Task.

London.-Greece has declined for
the present the allies offer to her OF
Cyprus and other concessions, terri
torial and financial in return for her
adherence to the Serbo.GreeK treaty
of alliance, which would mean her
military aid to assist n meeting the
Bulgarian and AustroGerman attacks
against her former ally.
The reply of Greece to the offer,
which reached the foreign Office Fri
day night, is a lengthy one and while
it has not been made public, there is
reason to believe that the Hellenic
kingdom bases its decision not to
join the allies on the ground that the
Anglo French force landed at Saloniki
is not. in the Greek governments
opinion. strong enough for the task
allotted it.
The refusal to accept the allies
offer was not unexpected, as it has
been often stated In official circles
that both Roumania and Greece were
Withholding their assistance until the
allies either won a decisive victory or
proved to the Greeks and Rouman-
ians their ability to do so, or until
operations had reached stage which
would assure them that their coun-
tries would not be overrun by the
forces of central powers or their
Turkish and Balkan allies.
