DA|LEYDEN|ESHOUSE
REBUFFED BRYAN
Pennsylvania Member ChaI-
Ienges Statement That His
Influence Has Collapsed.

Denial that the vote in the House
yesterday on the armed ship issue show
ed a collapse" OF the Bryan influence
as charged in certain newspaper reports.
was made today by Congressman War
/ren Worth Bailey of Pennsylvania. n
close friend of William J. Bryan.
"As far as am aware" said Mr..
Bailey, "Mr. Bryan did not attempt 10
sway members OF the House in regard
to the warning resolution. He went ne
further to the best of my knowledge
than to say that he believed the report
Of the Foreign Affairs Committee went
far toward clearing up the situation
I'm the belief OF Mr.. Bryan and of
most OF his friends who stood for u
warning, the expression on the part of
the committee on Foreign Affairs would
become In effect a part OF the action Of
the House, and therefore a reasonable
basis for harmonizlng all elements.
Almost all of those who met Mr..
Bryan during his recent visit here ac-
cepted his views and voted In favor of
tabling the McLemore resolution.
Their action was In no sense a rebuff
to Mr.. Bryan, for he was quick to sug-
gest the harmonizing possibilities en-
bodied in the committee report on the
McLemore resolution.
But for that report, II Is more than
probable the final vote would have been
very different"
Mr.. Bailey's reference to the harmon
king expression In the Foreign Affairs
Committees report relates to a state
ment by the committee that II believed
that the Presden would Communicate
with Congress III he reaches a point in
any negotiations with foreign govern
ents at which he believes he had ex-
hausted his power in the premises"

Amendments to Myers
Bill Get Committee o. X

Encouraged by the strength the

in the Senate. the Public Lands COM
mittee today approved half a dozen
amendments to the closely related
Myers bill. which conservationists
charge completely paraiyzes the sec
tlons designed to protect the public's In
terests.
The amendments. approved by the
committee over the opposition OF SEN
ators Norris. HustinR. Sterling, and
Chnmberlain-and with Myers. Smoot,
and Clarh OF Wyoming their chief back
eTs-make these changes:
Instead of being able to cancel a
lease for noncompliance with its terms
by the lessee, the Secretary OF Interior
may do 90 only on "substantiar' non
compliance.
Instead Of making rules for, the con-
duct of the lessees. the Secretary may
make only general" rules.
Instead OF the United states taking
over the properties developed at the end
of fifty years. the private company
would retain control until other ar
rangements were made.
The United States must take over and
pay for not only the property upon the
power site 1t originally leased. but all
which the company may construct OF
acquire"
Rent is to be paid the United states
not for the value OF the land as. a
power site but as land.
The committees views. like those OF
Senator Shields. are that liberal terms
are necessary II the immense sums OF
capital required for building dams arc
to be attracted.
The Myers bill will be introduced In
the Senate next week.
