lCfBOUND COAL FOR
 NEW YORK RELEASED
SAFE ARR VAL WILL PREVENT MANY LARGE BUILDINGS FROM BEING CLOSED ON ACCOUNT
 OF COLD.

New York, Jan. 4--Preceeded by powerful railroad tugs acting as ice breakers, a fleet of ocean-gong barges was on it's way to New York from New Jersey tidewater points to- night wi.h 50000 tons of coal. It was expected half of this supply would be unloaded before morning. It was not until late tonight when they were informed that tho ice jam had been broken that fuel administrators and transportation officials felt they could safely suspend for a few hours, theIr effore to bring relief to the sorely stricken city. If the barges arrive withou, mishap they will be just in time to prevent the closing for lack of fuel of many large office buildings, hotels and apartment houses

Washington, Jan. 4.-The senate committee Investigating sugar devot- cd all of today toward hearing C. J. Knight. testifyng as a trade adviser for the Cuban government and a con iributor 10 trade newspapers.
 Knight said Cuban sugar producers were dissatisfied with the price Of $4.60 agreed upon between the Cuban government and the state department and predicted that the disconteut would cause decreased production next year. Otter witnesses had tes- tified that the Cuban price was too high.
 The first Cuban commission which came to Washington last September was practically presented with an ul- tmatum' on the price of $4G0. Knight said, and declined to agree to it, but another commission which arrived TWO months later arranged to sell at that price

He said that the sizes were made so large that pine producers could not make deliveries, but that the cor poration expected to have delivered from Oregon within sixty days enough fir to furnish the heavier tim bers for 200 wooden ships.
 Delays in pine deliveries were at tributed by Mr Brown to some ex- tent to the fact that builders. anxious to Graw on the fleet corporations ad l. vance funds, laid down too many keels instead of going ahead with the construction of ships already laid down.

PRESIDENT URGES
 WATER POWER BILL
POWER OF THE COUNTRY IS ESTIMATED WASTED AN
 NUALLY.

Washington, Jan. 4--Presideut VII son laid before a conference of house leaders tonight the draft Of a bill de- signed to establish Q definite legi3la- tive policy to develop nc nations water power, 35,000,000 horsepower of which is estimated by government engineers to be wasted annually. The result of the conference was plan to create a special commt.ree of tho house to take over all jurisdiction of water power problems now dealt with by various conpittees and to pass the presidents bill promptly in the house and send it to the senate, with the ad- ministration's support behind it. The president told the conference of h,s interest in water power legis'atiou and urged that both houses speedily enact a new measure, drawn by the interior. war and agricultural depar.- ments. He said the bill was designed to reconcile divergent views witch have interfered with necessary iegis- lation.
 The bill follows closely the pro- visions of the Ferris bill, which twice has passed the house but failed through opposition in the senate. Par ticipants in the conference expressed the view that with unified house sup port and with the presidents ap- proval favorable action in the senate now was to be expected.
 The president submitted to the con- .ferees a report signed by Secretaries Iane, Baker and Houston, which clos ed with this statement
 "We believe that some such legis- lation as is here proposed, if enacted, would mean the early development of a considerable portion of our water power resources with a resultant say ing in fuel and a considerable lessen ing of the present demand on trans portation facilities caused by the mov- ing of coal and other heavy fuels.
 The bill provides for a commission to be composed of the secretaries of war, interior and agriculture. It pro- poses to lease the water power privi- leges on public lands, Indian lands. national forests and in navigabIe streams for not exceeding fifty years, when the project may be taken over by the United States, again leased to the original lesee or leased to a new lesee.
 The bill embraces both the Ferris bill in the house and the Shields bill in the senate.

Ferris. chief constructor of the emergency fleet corporation in connection with a report by the corporation district office at Seattle. brought out that the Clinchtield Navigation company of New York, was alleged to have 0b- tained profits amounting to S743.000 on ship contracts when in fact the company was not an actual builder of ships, The company, it was testified, sold to the government at a profit of $420,o00, four ships which the Sloan Shipbuldng corporation of Seattle was building for it and that it received a commission of $323,00o on contracts il obtained from the fleet corporation for twelve ships which the Sloan corporation is now building

Americans With Allied

Estimated There Are Between 25,- 900 and 3O,OOO With the
 Canadian Troops

In many instances, it Is pointed out, the desires for transfers are not prompted by patriotism but because of the chance to enjoy greater hene- fits and the higher pay of the Anleri- can forces. Hence it has been dec.d cd that an officer in the British army who is an American and desires transfer, must apply to the embassy in London which will be guided in the premises and instructions from the war department at home. The rules say that 1t will not be the gen eral policy of the war department to request the release of an American holding a commission in foreign ser vice. Regarding enlisted men the new rules say that release will only be considered ot applicants who pre- sent themselves personally to the military attache of the American ern- bassy in London, with satisfactory ! documentary evidence of citizenship i and that the military attache may then, in special cases, ask for re- lease the rules add:
 "When so released men arc to pro- ceed to France al their own expense and report for enlistment in our ser

Washington, Jan i--Legislation to regulate the governments operation of railroads and to guarantee the car riers compensation on the basis ot their average operating income for the last Dedree years, was asked of congress by President Wilson in an address today to both houses in joint session. Bills embodying his recon meneations and carrying an appropri- ton of half billion dollars as re Volving fund were introduced imme diately and an attempt will be made go rush them to prompt passage.
 While the presidents address met with general approval among demo crats and republicans alike. opposi- ton is expected to develop over a provision in the administration bill that federal control shall continue after the war indefinitely or until congress orders otherwise and other details of the compensation basis
 While the executive wheels were set moving Director General McAdoo spent busy day planning a solution of labor questions with heads of the four railway hrotherhoods. and finally decided to refer the brotherhoods' pending demand for a general wage increase to an advisory board of four members to be appointed by him in few days.

London, Jan. 4.-The Associated Press has received information that the American war department has de- cided on rules governing the transfer of Americans serving wth the Brit ish forces 10 the American army, by which their present status will not be disturbed except in special cases and where the transfer is plainly in the interest of the United States"
 This decision, it is said, was reach ed on the following grounds
 First-That Americans who enlisted with the British forces must have been prompted by patriotic motives to do so and that therefore it does not matter whet.a ar they remain British or are transferred to their own flag, since they would be fighting for the same cause.
 Second-ln some cases, particularly with the Canadians. many of whom are Americans. transfer might serl- ously disorganiZe units
 While no statistics are available it is fair to guess that there are 25,000 to 30,000 Americans in the Canadian forces alone and perhaps half as many more scattered throughout the otheI British contingents in France, Meso- potamia, Palestine and elsewhere Hundreds of letters have been sent 10 the American authorities in London begging for transfer but the authori- ties sav 4hev ara unable 10 make con scess.Ons to any special number ol men without taking over the men a'

New York. Jan. 4--Although the peace conference between representa- t'yes of the Bolsheviki government and the central powers was due to convene Friday, no news has come through indicating whether the meet ing took place. Never have there been any adyiCes as to whether the difficulties in the way of reaching an agreement have been surmounted or if concessions by either side, making possible further negotiations are in- tended.
