 GIVEN PREFERENCE
Is Pushed Ahead of Water Power Bill in Senate
 Today.

Washington, March 21.-A decision to push pending national defense measures ahead of the water power bill now before the senate, was reached at @ conference today be- tween President Wilson and Senators Walsh, Kern, Martin, Swanson, James, Myers and Stone. It was agreed that water power legislation should be passed by this congress but that it should not interfere with progress of the army bill.
 The form of the water power bill, in which the president had expressed Neep interest, was discussed at the conference.
 A substitute for the Shields water power and dam bill, recently passed in the senate over the fight of con- servation forces, has been drafted by the house commerce committee and will be reported in a few days. Shields bill, would provide no rev enue for the government in return for da m sites, it incorporates virtually all the other leasing features of cOnser- Vation measures which nave passed the house this year with the full ap- prOval of most cOnservationists.
 The secretary Of war would have absolute control over the granting of sites and state public service commits sions would regulate water power rates

Knox, Penn; former Gov. Herbert s. Had ley, Missouri and Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia Unl- Tersity, New York.
 Early in the discussion i; was re- ported that opinion was tending to- ward Senator Harding.
 Chairman Hilles sent teiegran1s to the three absent members of tue sub- committee asking for an expression of their opinion on the selection of T temporary chairman.
 William F. Stone of Baltimore vas elected sergeant-at-arms for the con- Vention. This will be the fourth re- publican national convention at which yr. Stone has served in that capacity.

 The letter reads as follows:
 My Dear Mrs. ROutzahn:
 "A letter came a couple of days ago to the American Red Cross from our diplomatic representative at Sophia. It was dated February 24th and said that Dr Travis had left that day for home via Russia and Sweden. She would sail presumably from Sweden or England, probably for New York. He adds: She has done admiral ble and unselfish work at the hospital at Nish.' AS she will be the last one to speak of this, I should like the fact to be known.''
