"DRY" BILL TO GIVE WAY
TO WATER POWER ITEMS
Senate Will Consider Myers and
Shields Measures Ahead of D. C,
Prohibition.

The Sheppard prohibition bill for the
District of Columbia will not he called
up for action in the Senate until after
the Myers water power bill has been
disposed of. it was said today by Sena-
tor Sheppard. The Myers bill has been
reported to the Senate and is expected
to come up for action after the Shields
dam site bill has been disposed of. The
Shields bill is the present unfinished
business of the Senate.
1t has been understood generally
that Senator Sheppard expected to try
to get the prohibiaion bill up as soon
as the Shields bill was out of the way.
But Senator Sheppard explained to-
day that in making his announcement
he had said that he would call up the
prohibition bill after the water power
legislation had been disposed of He
said that the Myers bill was included
in this general term. 1t is believed
that the Myers bill will be under con-
sderation for Il long time.
Senator Sheppard said today:
.Of course. if the discussion of the
water power bill drags along too long,
an attempt may be made to get up the
District prohibition bill before the
water power bill is finally acted upon

tence at Fort Leavenworth and who
are said to be eligible to parole under
the federal parole law for good conduct
in prison. The parole board of the De-
partment of Justice has declined to
act upon the cases, it is said, and the
friends of the prisoners think that an
injustice is being done those entitled
to parole.
The visiting senators told the Presi-
dent that they thought the parole law
ought to be made effective in this
case, and the President said he would
obtain a statement of the matter from
the Attorney General. 1t is claimed
that fourteen of the twenty men still
serving sentence in Fort Leavenworth
have served beyond the period that
would entitle them to parole, and that
the prison officials are favorable to
paroles being granted.

CHAIRMAN STONE TO SEEK
VOTE AT TODAY's SESSION
Messrs. Bcrah and Smith Against
Report Because of Opposition to
Recognizing Carranza.

Henry Prather Fletcher's nomi
nation as ambassador to Mexico
was ordered reported to the Sen.
ate today by the foreign relations
committee with the recommends
ton that it be confirmed as soon
as possible. Senator Borah and
Senator Smith of Michigan, re-
publicans, voted against the
recommendation.
Chairman Stone will submit
the report in executive session
late today, and an effort will be
made to get an immediate vote
on confirmation. 1t may be forced
over for a day under the rules, but
confirmation, in the opinion OF
administration senators, is as
sured.
Senators Borah and Smith Opposed.
Senators Borah and Smith opposed
the recommendation vigorously on the
ground that the United States Senate
should not participate in recognition
OF Gen. Carranza by confirming an am
bassador.
None Of the committee had any OBJ
lection to Mr.. Fletcher. who now is
ambassador to Chile. Some of the SEN
ators who were at first inclined to
vote against confirmation changed
their view because they believed the
UAited States should have diplomatic
representative at the present stage of
affairs in Mexico.
Would Come to q. s. First.
Pending Mr.. Fletcher's confirmation.
James Linn Rodgers. consul general at
Havana, will act as a special agent of
the State Department, representing the
United States before the Carranza gov
ernment. His selection was decided
upon because of the delay in establish
ing an ambassador to Mexico. Several
months will elapse before Mr.. Fletcher,
now minister to Chile. can take up his
new duties, even if he is confirmed at
once. as he probably will come here for
conferences with President Wilson and
State Department officials and take a
short vacation.
Before assuming his new duties Mr.
Rodgers will confer with the President
and Secretary Lansing. He is said to
be peculiarly fitted for the new post
He is native of Columbus. Ohio. and
has been in the consular service for
more than ten years.
Onicial State Department advices re-
ceived today, Secretary Lansing said,
clearly disproved reports that Gen.
Carranza practically had imprisoned
Gen. Obregon or that friendly relations
between them had been broken. Gen.
Obregon vas reported to have left
Manzanillo for Mazatlan, en- route to
Hermosillo to be married Gen. Car
rama was said to he returning to the
