WATER POWER BILLS
OPPOSED BY WILSON
President Visits Capitol to File Protest
Against Measures.

President Wilson dropped in unexpected
" on Congress yesterday to impress per-
sonally upon members OF the House and
Senate his opposition to two pending
pieces of legislation.
Nobody greeted the President when he
got out of his automobile and walked
briskly through the Senate corridors to
the elevator that conveyed him to his
rooms. He was IN his private office be-
fore any OF the Capitol force were aware
Of his presence.
Summoning Senators Shields and Bank
head. the President made 1t plain that
he was opposed to the Shields waterpower
general dam bill, now In disagreement
In conference. and the Myers water power
bin now being debated in the Senate.
Conservationists in both the House and
Senate are opposed to both measures be-
cause 1t Is charged they dispose of enor-
mously valuable water power sites and
fail to provide adequately for their re-
covery by the government
The Presidents visit. 1t is expected, will
cause the conferees on the Shields bill
to come together, but the general i'm
preston appears to be that the Execu-
tive's disapproval will block the Myers
bill at this session.

DEBATE IN SENATE
DISCOURAGES CLERKS
Economy Talks May Kill Increases for
Federal Employees.

IT was another day of suspense for the
government employees yesterday and when
the Senate adjourned last night It had
not reached section OF the legislative
bill. upon which depends whether 200, 900
Federal employees secure increased COM
pensation.
As the debate developed it was not
encouraging to the advocates of higher
wages. The majority of the speakers
talked economy and in the debate of an
hour or more that followed an attempt
to Increase the salary of William F1anna-
gan. secretary of the Federal Farm
Bureau, Senators made it planin that the
condition of the Treasury Influenced
many votes against the proposed increase
Senator Hollis led the fight to have
the salary of Flanagan increased from
5000 to 5000 on the ground that he was
an expert financier, had given invaluable
aid as an expert and knew more about
such matters than any other man in the
United States. By vote of 81 to 10 the
Senate rejected the amendment. An
amendment to pay him 5000 a year met
a similsS fate.
| Today it is expected that the clerks SAL
aries will come in for prolonged debate.
| Senator Smoot proposes to make a strong
