RAID ON WATER POWER.
IDes Moiues Register

A..
Clifford Pinchos is making fight
to arouse public opinion against the
Shields bill. now before the United
States senate. opening the water power
OF the country to private development
without compensation and with no re-
striction to prevent monopoly.
MIR. Pinchot may sometimes be more
concerned over public rights than
occasion warrants, but as if to back
up his claims regarding the Shields
bill comes Senator Smoot as one of the
strongest defenders ef the bill in the
senate.
Whenever Senator Smoot assumes
the Championship Of conservation
measure. let all true friends Of con-
servation be on their guard,
This bin provides for the reversion
of water power lights to the govern
ment after fifty years-provided the
government buys such municipal cleo
trio lighting plants, street railways
and factories as may have been de-
yeloped by the water power COM
panies in the meantime. This, Of
course, makes the reversion provision
a travesty.
The Shields bin contains jug
hohuiCd P&oNlSiou ttic
object Of which is practically to give
away the power sites. 1t states that
the grantee shall pay to the United
States, for land occupied under the
provisions of the bin. such reasonable
charges based upon its value as land"
as may be fired by the secretary of
war.

all the champions Of the water power
interests. They suggested that the adj
dition of the words for all purposes"
would accomplish all that was sought
by the elimination of the first phrase,
and stubbormy objected to its going
out
A person outside the senate would
naturally wonder why the defenders of
the Shields bill wanted the words 'as
land. kept in the bill, IL it means the
same without them. But the debate
soon cleared up that point. and It was
Senator Kenyon of Iowa who started
the debate in the direction of funda-
why asked Kenyon. should not
the guarantee pay to the United States
charges based upon its
value as a water power site?''
Why not indeed? Senator Smoot
explain that the bill as IL
read covered The value OF the conces-
sion as a water power site, thru pro-
vision that the secretary of war should
take into account benefits accruines
from the use and occupation of such
lands TO the business Of said grantee"
II the water power bill means what
Senator Smoot and others say II does,
why use devious terms and doubtful
language? Why not incorporate Sena-
tor Kenyon's words into the bill, and
instead Of saying biased upon it's value
as land use the expression based up

S1,000,000 PLEDGED
 FOR CLERGYS' FUND
Pensions for Episcopal Electors As sured by Size of Donations AL
 ready Contributed for the Purpose.

New York, March 1O-The first $1,O0O,OOO has been pledged to the reserve fund of s5,000,000 which must be raised to establish pen sion fund for the clergy of the Epis- copal Church in America, so the Right Rev. William Lawrence, D. D Bishop of Massachusetts, announced gladly at meeting in J. P. Nor gan's library in West Thirty sixth street, yesterday.
 The pension fund is to be raised in one year, by March 1, 1917 Never before has a church organ izatiaon undertaken to collect so large a sum within specified time
 The pension system to be insti tuted by the church will provide that when a minister retires at the agr of sixty-eight, a pension equal tf one-half his average salary during his active service will be paid t" him from the fund. In addition, tho parish which he has served will pay to him an annual persion equal roughly to per cent. of the salar! he has received.
 Widows Also Provided For.
 If he is disabled by disease, a pension will be given to him; at hf4 death his widow and minor children will receive annual pensions
 Bishop Lawrence announced to the committee that he had suspended hiy active work in Massachusetts for the ensuing year to revote himself en tirely to raising the s5,O0O,OOO fund
 That s5,oO0,0o0," said Bishop Lawrence, must first be pledged in order that the pension system may be financially sound and not mee . the rocks of bankruptcy which many systems are now driving due to tl,p lack of this very reserve.

BIG SEASON FOR
 THE OAKLAND CAR
A. c. Hine, Local Agent, Anticipates Heavy Sales of Popular Auto
 mobile This Year.

A. c. Hine has nothing but expres- sions of pleasure by which to de- scribe the Oakland sales campaign in this field up-to date. Since the na- tional automobile show in New York, the first week of the year, the Oak land, according to MT. Hine has steadily increased in popularity. He is convinced that the Hartford auto show enabled the Oakland to make such a strong impression on the pros poets who contemplate entering the ranks of motorists that he will have difficulty in securing enough cars to make deliveries as promised. The history of the past season has. wit messed some interesting developments in the personnel of the Oakland or ganization with corresponding results in the general field.
 II have tried to anaiyze the situa- ton in the automobile field today said MT. Hine this week, and u sum mary of my findings adds to my con- viction the Oakland is going to en- joy much popularity this season. I believe that the Oakland car will be a leader because the policy of the com panv is built not so much upon the number of cylinders in the motor as on the application of proved princi-
 ples of motor construction. The Oak land company saw a field for three distinct types of cars and an oppor- tunity to push the Oakland into the front by offering to the Oakland deal DTS and to the motoring public coin- plete line of cars at popular and mod crate prices. I am sure the cohsen = SIS among the automobile men CT Hartford is that the ordinary business man is not going to pay nigh prlce for a heavy car with it's high cost or unl1eep. when for a moderate price ne can get a high-grade machine com- naratively lightweight and With maintenance future not too dismal. Our models at the Hartford autonoplle show proved to the public the oak land is a car of quality yet priced so as to come within the range of the average person. That is why am So
 positive the Oakland will be a success l this season."

$3o,OOo RECEIVED

Unknown Says He Has Now Paid
 Back S80,O0O to U. 5.

Washington, March 10--"And Zac- cheus stood and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods give to the poor; and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore him four fold.''- Luke, xix, 8
 Thirty thousand dollars, the .larg- est contribution ever made to tho Federal Treasury's "conscience fund" was received at Secretary McAdoos office today. With the money which was wrapped in thick brown paper, was a letter, addressed to the Secre- tary, which ran:
 Dear Sir: Tn a separate package I am sending you s3O,o0O to be add ed to the conscience fund. This makes a sum aggregating S8O,000 which have sent the United States, or four times the amount I stole years ago.
 Il have hesitated about sending all this money, because I think it does not really belong to the government, but conscience has given me no rest until I have consummated the four fold return, like zaccheus, the pub lican of old May every thief un- derstand the awfulness of the sin of stealing, is the sincere wish of the penitent.
 "P. S.-Let no one claim any of this amount on any pretext''
 As Bible students will tell you, the original Zaccheus was a tax gather CT of Jericho, who, being little of stature," climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus pass. The Savior brought repentance to the little mans soul. The Zaccheus of today dated his let ter Philadelphia, but both letter and package were postmarked "New York, 10:30 a. nl., March s" The package contained eleven $1,OOO, twenty-one $500 and eightyflve S10O bills, most of them gold certificates
 The treasury never seeks to trace contributors to the conscience fund which amounts now to $459,533, anl forms part of the governments gen. eral revenue. The largest previous contribution was s18,000, the sender saying he--or she-had cen guilty of customs frauds.

RECORD HANGING AT
 WETHERSFIELD TO-DAY
Trap sprung in Fifteen Seconds and Luppa Is Declared Dead in Less
 Than Eleven Minutes

Wethersfield, March 1O.-Pasuuale Guppa of Guilford was hanged in the state prison here early this morning for the murder of Antonio Corsi last fall.
 Although he made no statement in the death chair, Zuppa told the prison authorities 8 short time before his death that he was sorry for his crime. He spent his last hours in prayer and appeared extremely peni- tent
 The execution was the quickest on record, the trap having been sprung in fifteen seconds after he entered thedeath chamber Accompanied by a priest, Zuppa entered the room with a firm step at 12:05:02. Tn fifteen seconds, the guards-carefully trained in their work-had silently strapped him, placed the death mask over his face, and the warden sprang the trap. The body was cut down and lowered into a coffin at 12:15:43, and the physicians officially pronounced him dead.
 No one claimed the body and it Nill be buried in St. Benedicts ceme tery in Hartford tomorrow. None of the prison directors witnessed the hanging, the only witnesses being the prison attendants, priest and news paper men.
