Keller appeared before the committee
to discuss the Smith bill to grant an
indefinite use of power below the falls

Secretary Baker suggested that the
Cline bill for regulation of diversion
above the falls ought to be consolidated
with the Smith bill. concerning power
below the falls. that the legislation
should vest less discretion in the execu-
tive department of the government and
have more definite terms.
IF had my way personally" he said.
II would not grant any permits at all
at Niagara Falls. l would build a gov
ernment power station. use the falls at
their maximum efficiency, and sell the
power"
When asked his government owner
ship views he said that he believed in
government ownership of public utili-
ties in communities where the people
want It, but that it is a mistake to
enter on government ownership in 4
community where the people are not
willing to sustain 1t and carry il for

SUFERAG|STS TO HAVE
P|CKETS At CAPITOL
To Follow Presidents Lead and Send
Women Up on Hill Tomorrow
for Sake of Cause.

Because President Wilson is going to
spend good deal of his time this
| week at the Capitol, talking with
statesmen about legislation the suf-
fragists have decided to start a picket
force there, too, so that the Presidents
eyes will catch their flags wherever
he turns.
The picketing Of the Capitol is to be-
gin tomorrow. The suffragists will get
as close to the Senate side of the Cap
itol as the regulations there will per-
| nit. and they expect to have a large
| number of volunteers for their work
The plans now are to keep the same
number of sentinels around the White
, House as in the past and use recruits
! for Capitol duty. They will picket the
! Capitol at the time of day the Presi-
dent Is scheduled to be there. They
were confident today that the addition
| of the Capitol to their activities will
furnish much additional interest among
suffragists and induce volunteers to
offer themselves for work at both
| places.
Today was District of Columbia day"
with the sentinels at the White House.
and every Monday hereafter will be so
set apart. All the 'pickets are either ma
| tive or adopted Washingtonians. Be
guards stood at attention at the two
| north gates. Later the detail was re-
duced to four. but at o'clock this aft
ernoon at least two dozen are expected
| to be on hand to serve for the ensuing
hour. Nothing new is on the banners
| today.
To Begin New Campaign.
| With its membership already fourth in
size. the District branch of the Con-
gressional Union is to begin new or
ganization campaign this week, in the
hope that it may top the list by March
| 1. the date of the approaching conven-
| ton, and thereby have the largest
number OF delegates.

and precinct committees, chairmen and
secretaries will carry out plans now

the campaign will be made Saturday

Granny Fox Plans to Get a
Fat Hen.
Full half success for fox or man
Is won by working out a plan.


Granny Fox knows this. No one
knows 1t better. Whatever she does Is
first carefully planned in her wise old
head So now that she had decided
that she and Reddy would try for one
of Farmer Browns fat hens she lay
down to think out plan to get that
fat hen. No one knew better than she
how foolish it would be to go over to
that henyard and just trust to luck fol-
a chance to catch one Of those hens. OF
course. they might be lucky and get a
hen that way, but then again they
might be unlucky and get in a peck
of trouble
You see," said she to Reddy, 1--WE
must not only plan how to get that fat
men. but we must also plan how to get
away with it safely. If only there was
some way of getting into that henhouse
at night. there would be no trouble at
all. I don't suppose there is the least
chance of that"
Not the least chance in the world
replied Reddy. There isn't a hole
anywhere big enough for even Shadow
the Weasel to get through. and Farmer
Browns boy is very careful to lock the
door every night"
There's a little hole that the hens
go in and out during the day. and
which is big enough for you. or me to
slip through, 1 believe" said Granny
thoughtfully
sure. But it's always closed at
night" snapped Reddy. besides. to
get to that or the door either you have
got to get inside the henyard. and
there's a gate to that which we can't
open"
People are sometimes careless, even
you. Reddy" said GRANNY. softly
Reddy squirmed uneasily. for he had
been in trouble many times through
carelesness "Well,-what of it?" he de-
manded a wee bit GROSSLY.
Nothing much. only if that henyard
gate should happen to be left open
and If Farmer Browns BOY should hap
pen to forget to close that little hole

Came at opportune Time.
BY the Associated Press.
PETROGRAD. January 81, via Lon
don. January ga profound impress
sion has been made here by the re-
script addressed by Emperor Nicholas
to the new Russian premier. Prince
Golotzine. calling upon him to see that
the government devotes it's first atten-
tion to the question of supplies for the
armies of Russia.
The rescript is regarded as clear
presentation of the problems which
have oppressed the nation for the last
six months. as we'll as an exhortation
to more prompt and energetic action
in meeting them. The clause promis-
ing more benevolent attitude on the
part of the government toward the leg
islative chambers is received with par
tfcular elation and has dissipated the
gloom which prevailed after the recent
poStponement of the sessions of the
duma and imperial council.
The emperor's order. according to the
belief here, could not have come at a
more opportune or dramatic moment
a moment when the gathering unrest
of the country had reached tho greatest
volume and the possibility of solution
of the political problem appeared more
remote than ever
Some of the more optimistic COM
mentators regard the pronouncement
OF the emperor as the turning point in
the internal political difficulties and
believe that the mere enunciation of
the troubles of the nation, which had
taken vague and fantastic form in re-
cent months. will be the first step in
overcoming them. The Novoe Vremya.
referring to the clause in the rescript
concerning the parliamentary cham
berS, says:
Inspire Hope for Future.
These words evoke great hopes for
the future in the hearts of the Russian
people, who have w"ited long and ca
gerly for this cooperation between
the government and the representa-
tives of the people. The present gov
ernment, under Prince Golotzine, has a
difficult task to perform in realizing
the aims set forth in the rescrlpt. The
predecessors of Prince Golotzine had
little success. Whether the present
premier succeeds or not, the task is
now clearly defined and it remains only
to find some effective measure of ac-
corplshing it,"
