PRESIDENT TO

Conference Agrees to Single
Headed Commission
HOOVER WILL SERVE
Question Of Congressional War Board
viii Be Taken Up BY Confer
ence Committee Today.

Washington. July SO.-The President
today won his fight for oneman
administration of food control. After a
deadlock of several days the senate
conferees on the food bill yielded and
agreed to the elimination Of the senate
amendment providing for board of
three members to administer the act.
Although this action probably will
be displeasing to large faction in
the senate and was opposed by three
of the senate conferees, the accep-
tance of the conference report in both
bodies is expected. There now re-
mains at issue only one fundamental
provision-the senate amendment
creating joint committee Of congress
to supervise war expenditures. Pros
poets are that this amendment will be
eliminated in conference tomorrow,
and an agreement reported TO the two
houses on Wednesday.
The conferees agreed tentatively to-
day upon a provision for the creation
of a board on wheat prices" II is
proposed to retain the senate amend
ment for minimum price OF 81 a
bushel for wheat of the first North
ern" grade of the crop OF 1918. 1t
will be further stipulated, however, If
present plans carry, that the Wheat
board shall fix minimum prices on
other grades for 1918 and after 1918
shall fix minimum prices on all
grades. The amendment, tentatively
approved, but subject to reconsidera-
tion tomorrow. provides that this
board shali consist Of the food admin
istrator. the president of state agri-
cultural college, and a third member,
all to be named by the president
President Wilson today told Sena-
tor Chamberlain and Representative
Lever that he was unalterably oppos.
ed to the amendment for divided au-
thority in the administration of the
food law He insisted upon one-man
control, as originally provided in the
house bill At the same time the
president reiterated his disapproyal
OF the amendment for war eXpendi
lures committee, which has been re
ferred to in conference as "smel
ling.around committee
Returning to the conference today
Senator Chamberlain moved the
striking out of the provision for q
board of three TO administer the food
control legislation. Approval of this
motion meant that Herbert c. IIo'
would be food administrator, as plan

NEW VILLAGE OFFICES
Future Quarters viii Be on Second
Floor of Ritchie Block.

Future Quarters Will Be on Second
Floor of Ritehie Block.
The meeting of the village board
of trustees scheduled for Tuesday,
August Z, is probably the last to be
held in the rooms in the rear of the
town clerks Office Soon after the
first of the month the new quarters
on the second floor of the Ritchie
block directly over the Lurie store
will be ready for occupancy.
The new offices will be a decided
Improvement over the present loca-
tion at which the business of the vii
lage has been transacted for a num-
Der of years. The village officials
would have preferred ground floor
accommodation if they could have
been secured but such were not to be
had.
In making the change the village
officials have been governed by a
number of circumstances. In the first
place, the room at present used is
not large enough to accommodate
both the town and village officials, es-
pecially when the auditors or the lis
ters are using the room. Then, again,
the gift of the water system to the
village and the creation of the me
mortal hospital fund has created a
condition that was not in keeping
with the conyeniences that art avail
able at quarters now occupied It
has been impossible TO keep the room
i'm such shape that 1t would not give
an unfavorable impression to resi-
dents of other states who have busi-
ness relations with the village gov
ernmen;
The new Office is large enough for
all the business of the village and the
water department. Good storage in
closets is provided for all documents
and it will hereafter be impossible to
display the maps that are needed for
both departments. A small room to
the north of the main Office will be
used for police headquarters

Is the Plan of the New Eng
land Power Company
WILL COST MILLIONS
Another Great Reservoir on Deerfield
viii Flow Parts Of Readsboro,
Whitingham and Wilmington.

Boston, July 31.--Gas and Electric
Light Commissioners Schaff and
Weed, constituting majority OF their
commission, today approved an issue
of securities of the par value of ST.,
100000 by the New England power
company. Commissioner Lewenberg
filed dissenting opinion in which he
declared that the grant reduces" state
regulation to a minimum, almost to
the vanishing point
The petition of the New England
power company, the largest hydro
electric organization in the state,
sought authority to issue $2,0O0OOO
in common stock, the same amount in
preferred stock and $3,0O0,00O in
bonds. The money, according to the
petitioners is to be used in the con-
struction of large dam, power house
and reservoir
The dam. as planned, will be built
near Readsboro, and will be about 200
feet high. 1t will be the largest earth
dam in the world. The reservoir will
have storage capacity OF about 3,-
10000 900 cubic feet and tunnel
will be constructed for length of IA
900 feet from the dam to the power
house. The power plant will have an
Installed capacity in water wheels OF
about $4,000 horse power.
After pointing out that the New
England power system has assets OF
25 millions, and asserting that com
pany with such powerful resources
should pledge 1t own credit Mr.
Lewenberg says
'If the petitioner had proceeded
with the work to reasonable de.
gree consistent with the amount OF
the projected improvements, iN would
have the right to expect the board tc
approve securities for the amount OF
expenditures fairly made.
THE majority of the board approves
the request of the most powerful
hydro-electric company in the state
for this issuing of large amount OF
securities on mere estimate of what
its intended construction will cost. lr
my opinion, so far as this petition Ii
concerned, the amount of regulation II
reduced to minimum, almost to the
vanishing point"

They Have Enough Strength to Get

Washington, July 3i.-The fight for

ate yesterday under unanimous con-
sent agreement to take final vote to-
morrow, The debate was purely per-
functery, with but few senators in
their seats and small number of

Senator Sheppard, author of the

The constant activity of the liquor
interests is peril to free institu-

Senate, while alcoholic liquor itself
is menace to the nations health,

prohibition because bartenders and
brewery and distillery employees are
members of unions. Labor is asked

Texas senator, TO take food from the
mouths and clothes from the backs OF
men, women and children to sustain
a traffic, meaning hunger, disease, in
sanity and death for the masses while
liquor barons thrive in luxury.
If the liquor traffic is to be eradi
Gated, the aid of the federal govern.

ship between the liquor traffic and the

frightful heritages of the civil war"
Senator Underwood declared adop
ton of the amendment would have a
tendency to centralize our govern

as exists in Germany and Austria
Hungary" intrenching national au

of the people.
