Water Power Bill
Views of President
Rejected by House
Sharp Criticism Directed at
Wilson by Representa-
tive Sinnott

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-The House
to-day rejected President Wilson's sug-
gestion that the rccapture clause of
the Administration water power bill be
amended to eliminate the provision for
paying the net investment in the event
that power projects are taken under
Federal state or municipal control at
the end of the lease periods.
The recommendation of the water
power committee was retained, the
House defeating 90 to II proposal by
Representative Ferris, Of Oklahoma,
that "fair value" be substituted for
met investment" as urged by the
President.
Representatives of power interests
mad asked Tor the retention of the net
investment provision, contending that
under the Presidents proposal power
promoters could not obtain capital
Immediately after the vote Mr.. Fer
rls offered ii substitute covering virtu-
ally the same ground, but making the
provision somewhat broader. 1t was
rejected
Chairman Sims said tonight no at
tempt could he made to vote again on
the amendment in the House and in
dlcatlons were that the measure would
be passed tomorrow with the met in
vestment" retained. 1t was said, how
ever, an attempt would be made to
reach compromise in the Senate.
Chairman Sims and Mr. Ferris in
urging adoption of the fair valuation
clause based their argument on the
ground tnat the net investment feat
nre would make recapture so onerous
that private interests would have a per-
petual franchise. Mr.. Ferris said the
latter plan excluded the right of public
ownership.
In the debate to-day Representative
Slnnott, of Oregon, criticised what he
termed Pres! !dential interference with
legislation. In all war legislation, he
said, he had supported the President
and in other matters had given careful
and respectful consideration to what
ever he had said to the House.
"Wh hen these utterances bear evil
uence of the Presid mature and
thoughtful consideration" Mr.. Sinnott
said, "they are persuasive and should
not be disregarded except for the most
cogent reasons. But when they bear
upon their face positive evidence that
they are not the result of mature and
deliberate consideration they should be
disregarded accordingly"
In considering the water power meas
ure, Mr.. Sinnott said, "the President
was not in possession of the exact
facts

4 Ask Credit for Galli-Curcii's
Fame in Divorce Suit Tangle

The Galli-Curci suit and counter suit
round, in which prima donna, husband,
hrothor-in-law, manager and accom-
PIANIST follow one another in bewilder-
ing succession. Yesterday another en-
tered into the circle in the person of
William Thorner. Nine. GalliCurci's
teacher. who declared the famous So
prano once wrote him letter in which
she ascribed to him her whole success
and afterward asked and received back
the letter in consideration Of a sum
paid to Mr.. Thorner for releasing her
from the 5 per cent commission he had
on all her engagements.
Mr.. Thorner, however, retained a
Photographic copy Of the letter, he said,
a proceeding which justified itself
when a short time afterward. Genaro
Mario GalliCurci, Nine. Galli-Curci' 5
brother-n-law, began advertising him
self as Nine. Galli-Curci's teacher. I'm
like any of the other principals in this
newest cause c6lebrc, Mr.. Thorner is
supremely happy.
"[ believe now that Nine. Galli-Curci
has publicly denied that Genaro was
ever her teacher, that she will again
acknowledge her debt to me, a debt
which She recently had seemed to for
get, apparently under the influence of
her husband and brother-in-law said
Mr. Thorner yesterday. "She is too
fine d woman not to do me justice.

in which she said she owed everything
to my teaching. | gave her back the
original of the letter when I signed
away the per cent commission | had
on all her engagements. At that time
her brother-i law, Genaro, was setting
himsel up as a vocal teacher and Nine.
Cali -Curci was apparently willing to
help him with the prestige of her name.
"Now that she has repudiated him, a
reputation shared in by her manager,
Mr.. Wagner, know that she will be
willing to give me the credit, which,
under the apparent influence of her
husband, she at one time tacitly gave
to Genaro Galli-Curci."
Signor Luigi Galli-Curci declares in
his suit for alienation against Manager
Wagner that he, Nine. Galli-Curci's
husband, is responsible for her sue
cess; Genaro Mario Galli-Curci Nine.

licly advertised himself as the singers

American in Ranks
OF Czechs Predicts
End of War in 1919
Chicago Physician Thinks
Russia Will Be Big
Factor in Victory

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Sept. 4.-Next
year will see the war end with an
Allied. victory, helped largely by Amer
lean troops on every front, according
to DR.. L. J. Fisher, major of a sanitary
corps of the 'Czecho- -Slovak forces in
Europe
DR.. Fisher, an American citizen and
former resident Of Chicago, reached
mere tonight on French steamship
after six months on the French and
Italian fronts.
Russia will yet be a factor in win
ming the war;" said DR.. Fisher. ~
am sure the Czecho-Slovak forces in
Siberia, to the number of 100000. will
be the saviois of Russia. Thew form
the nucleus of an army which will re-
establish an Eastern front and put an
END to the sway of the German and
pro-German Bolshevik leaders.
only two days before l sailed from
France | was in touch with the high
IN Siberia, and was told they were then
holding the Siberian Railroad.
"Although the Czecho- -Slovaks have
two divisions of 100000 men each on
the West front and one division on
the Piave, their greatest utility will
be in Russia.
"The high spirits of the Americans.
the Czecho-Slovaks and all the Allies
show the most marked contrast with
that of the Austrians, for example. !"
said DR.. Fisher. "Whenever sallies
are made on the Italian front the
Austrans surrender in droves without
offering resistance"
Dr. Fisher had some paper money
which had been found on Austrian
prisoners and which had been given
them as their wages. The "shin plas
ters," the size of large postage stamps.
were payable on 1.-The Bank of Ven,
ice,p and were dated January 2, 1918"
"The prisoners told me the money
was absolutely worthless" said Dr..
Fisher. ut was given them as an in
centive to get them to Venice by last
January, but the fact that it was of
no value in Austria only discouraged
the soldiers. The only way the Aus
trlans could buy anything, they said,
was by bartering some article in their
possession"
Dr. Fisher enlisted in the Czecho-
Slovak forces two years ago. He lives

success Nine. Galli-Curci herself, has
stated repeatedly that she was her
own teacher and therefore responsible
for her own success, and now along
comes Mr.. Thorner and, in a letter
signed by Nine. Galli-Curc herself,
proves that they are all wrong, and that
he alone is Nine. GalliCurci's
Christopher Columbus.
AS to Mr.. Wagner, her manager, and
Mr.. Samuels, her accompanist, perhaps
ings, and Signor Campanini, under
whose operate direction she made her
triumph in Chicago is yet to be heard
from.
Mmc. Galli-Curci apparently is fast
becoming as Homer, whom seven cities
claimed to have borne.
Four persons, including herself, are
already disputing over her creation,
though. odd to state, neither her father
nor her mother has as yet been heard
from. Truly is the eternal question,
"Why is a prima donna"
Without bothering to answer the
question, Nine. Galli-Curci is said to
have had the ambition to be not only
and her differences on the subject with
her husband, who opposed the project,
are said to have had their effect in
widening the breach between them
Not only did the singers husband
insist upon her remaining an Italian
subject, it is said. but also upon tying
the purse strings in Continental
knot, at which masculine fingers are
most adept. According to Nine CALI
Curci, her husband adhered strictly to
the Continental custom of spending
ones wife's money. and even bought,
in his own name, about $4,000 worth
of Liberty bonds, which, she says, she
commiss soned him to buy for her.
Charles l.. Wagner, the singers man
ager, yesterday denied the allegation
of alienation of her affections made by
her husband, and said that he spoke
for Nine Galli-Curci's accompanist,
Homer Samuels, as we'll. He said that
when Nine. Galli-Curci came to New
York and, according TO her husbands
assertion, met Mr.. Samuels it was for
the purpose of rehearsals in which the
singers husband had forbidden them
to engage at Nine. Galli-Curci's sum-
mer home at Pine Hill, N. Y, where
he was at the time.
