DISLOYAL SEAPOET
BIDS FOR z YEARS
BUT DRAWS FIVE

NEW YORK, July 1s.-Arthur Roth,
Norwegian seaman, made two mis-
takes in letter he wrote to a friend
in Philadelphia on June 10, last He
said the American censor would not
get hold Of the letter and even IL he
did the writer's punishment would b.
only two years in Jail.
When Roth was arrafEned vester-
day on charge Of violating the es-
pionage act, Joseph A Burdeau. as
sistant United States attorney, showed
MIN mis- letter. He Immediately plead
ed guilty. Then Judge Manton re-
Veaied to him that he was in error as
to the punishment he might receive by
sentencing him to five years in the
Federal prison at Atlanta, "a.
In the letter Roth declared he didn't
want to work in ammunition factories
or shipyards here because he had
German blood in his veins" He also
expressed the opinion that the Gov
eminent would go crazy some day
and call everybody to the colors,
whether they're foreigners or not
He added:
IF the censor should get Ihis let
ter ! would probably be put in Jail
for two years. But he is not going
TO get it."
Then Roth fell into what he called
poetry:

call. Liberty bell, it probably goes
TO hell withal. Can't we hear the
Germans marching up Broadway. and |

WATER POWER BILL
PROWDESPLANFOR
J. S. OWNERSHIP

A plan whereby the Government
of the United States will gradually
but surely come into the ownership
OF the vast water power projects of
the country, involving billions Of
dollars worth OF property, will soon
be submitted to the House by Chair
man Sims, of the House Committee
on Interstate Commerce.
Judge Sims Nill press the plan az
a proposed amendment to the water
power bill This bill. which involves
the treatment OF no less than co.,
100000 horsepower, is attracting
singularly little notice at the hands
either OF men in Congress or the
public when one considers the eco
nomic and Industrial import Of IL.
Judge Sims amendment. which he
Is now drafting. and which he said
today he would push. provides for a
tax OF not less than 1 per cent on the
gross sales OF water power compan-
les. The tax might go to or 3 per
cent. It would go into a fund In the
Treasury and would be applied to
the amortization of the plant. Com
pulsory. automatic amortization OF
the water power plants Is thus pro-
vided for and at the end OF a period
the Government would take over the
property. This period would be DIFF
ferent in different cases, depending
on the amount of the tax on gross
sales. For instance, a per cent
tax would require much longer for
amortization than a ? per cent tax
or per cent tax.
What this looks to. in other words,
LII
troll Of all the vast water power prof.
ects OF the United States which are
developed already, and are to be de-
veloped.
Powerful support among both
Democrats and Republicans will be
given to the plan proposed by Judge
Sims.
