ELECTRICITY AT LOW RATES
Public-owned Power Plant, with an
Enormous Capacity, Proposed
for Niagara Falls.

| In the hope of bringing about the
establishment of a state-municipal
lhydro-electric plant at Niagara Falls
that could supply current at low
rates to towns in western New York,
an association of business mems or.
carnations of Buffalo and nearby
communities has been formed tc
promote new water-power develop
ment scheme, according to Popular
Mechanics Magazine. The body is
endeavoring to obtain from the gov
eminent the right to take a flow
amounting to 400 cubic feet Sec
ond from above the falls. This is
possible under the existing treaty
with Canada. In addition it is
planned that the 600 cubic feet of
sewage disposal water from the town
of Niagara Falls should be utilized,
making in all 5000 cubic feet, or
enough to produce 100000 horse
power.
The main volume of water would
be conducted through to 18-foot I'M
derground conduits. These would
lead to eight or ten perpendicular
penstocks connecting 10000 or H.
1000 horse power turbines located in
a partly concealed subterranean
power house constructed in an ex-
cavation at the bottom of the cliff
near the American falls on the New
York state reservation. The front
side of the power house would be
flush with the cliff wall and of glass
and steel construction. 1t, as well
as its observation galleries overlook
ing the water, would be partly hid
den from view by vines and shrub
berry. Access would be gained by
elevators operated in shafts adjoin-
ing those of the penstocks and COM
Imunicating with a. small, artistic
building at the surface.

 QUESTION
Illegal is the Word Upon Which Governments of
 Germany and United States Disagree for All Time.
AMERICA WANTS 4
 COMPLETE DISAVOWAL
Berlin Editor Gives His Opin- ion that Questions Is No Further Advanced Than it was Some Months Ago.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-The word illegal" as differently interpreted in the United States and Germany. is stumbling block to the Lusitania nego- tiations, which caused Berlin to refer to the negotiations as having reached a crisis and caused Washington to characterize the situation as grave.
 Germany's answer as presented to Lansing by Von Bernstorff, proposes, instead of straight admission of il legality in the method of submarine warfare used in sinking the Lusitania, the acceptance of liability for the loss of neutral lives. Berlin hopes this will satisfy the United States and still not bind Germany from continuing submarine campaign.

Success of the First Prepared ness Campaign Induces MT. Wilson to Consider Trip to South and West.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.-The Presi- dent returned from his preparedness speaking trip so well pleased with the results that he will probably make an other soon. If he goes he probably will visit the South and possibly some of the far western states. Officials indicated thta possibilities of the Lusi- tania case present the only likely ob- stacle to second trip.
 The President will not lose the ad- vantage he believes gained by his re- cent trip for preparedness. but will press Congress for action on the army and navy bills as soon as possible He expects to hold conferences with sen ators and representatives next week. It seemed improbable that the Presi- dent could leave before February 10.

Measure New Goes to House and il is Expected that Branch of Congress will Eass 1t Immediately.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-The Philip pine bill. which would extend to the islands a greater degree of helf-gov- ernment, would authorize the Presi- dent to grant them absolute indepen- dence within four years, passed the Senate. Various Democrats led by Chairman Stone Of the Foreign Rela- tions Committee tried unsuccessfully to secure an amendment of certain in- dependence clauses. In the end the Democrats. joined by six Progressive Republicans, voted solidly for the measure. l. is understood the meas ure will go to the House with the back ing of the President It will be press ci for early passage.
 There is little indication as to what ac,ion the House will take Admins t-ation leaders seemed confident the bill. including the independence feat ure. which squared it with the Balti- mere platform. will haVe the approval of the House Democrats.
 As passed the bill carries a provis- ion authorizing the President. when independence is granted to negotiate treaties needed to adjust all property richts of citizens of the United States and other countries in the islands. to acouire such naval bases and coaling stations in that territory as he deems necessary.
 No restrictions were imposed upon Filipino legislatures power to levy export duties except duties cannot be levied on exports to the United States. The bill would increase the rights of suffrage by extending it to any citizen able to read and write in his native language.

TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM FAST
 BREAKING
Senator Underwood So Tells American Electric Ky Asso- ciation's Banquet, With Many Other Points.

CHICAGO. Feb. 4.-"Taken as a whole the transportation system of the United States. so far as perform ing its proper functions in the tran sportation of our freights to their ultimate markets and the carriage of passengers to their destination with safety and economy, is breaking down." said Senator Oscar w. Under wood of Alabama in an address de, livered tonight at a dinner of the American Electric Railway Associa- tion and the American Electric Rail- way Manufacturers Association, after he had reviewed a number of the handicaps under which the railroad system labored today.
 If there were no improvement, he said, the country would demand gov ernment ownership, but such result he thought would be unfortunate. and he favored the Golden Mean along the lines of private ownership and government regulation.
 We must consider" he said. the wisdom of government supervision of the issuance of all securities by our transportation companies with the as surance to the public that new capital lities and used for legitimate purposes not for speculation. We must as sure the public that when they invest money in railway securities, which are supervised by government regula- tions. we stand for a system of regu- lation which will allow the transporta- tion companies to charge such rates for carriage as will enable them to promptly meet their interest accounts as well as their operating expenses. We must perfect a system of regula- tion that will recognize that the tran sportation lines of America are great public highways in which the people are as much interested as those who have invested their capital in them. that every shipper in America must have equal right in the transporta- tion of his goods along those high ways and that rebates and discrim- nations of all kinds must be of the past and prohibited in the future and We much recognize that the man who is willing to invest his money at moderate rate of interest in railroad securities is not exploiting the public but it public benefactor.
 We must consider the wisdom of substituting one master for the forty nine masters that regulate our com merce today. The main trouble with the regulation of our railway system is that corporate law has been de- structive, not constructive. has been peacemeal. not comprehensive.
 The President of the United States in his recent message to Congress has recommended that commission should be appointed to give a thor ough investigation to all the problems that confront us in the field of tran spOrtatiOn. As I under stand the pur- pose of this investigation. it is not to hold an inquest of what had happened in the past. If errors have been com mited or injuries have been done.
