UTILIZING COUNTRY'S
VAST WATER POWER
Commission Now Drafting Regu.
lations for Administra-
ton
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

Washington. July 24.-Regulations for
the administration of the Federal act
opening up the country's vast water
power resources to private development
are now being drafted. As soon as they
are completed the Waterpower Commits
sion, composed of the Secretaries of War,
Interior and Agriculture, will hold hear
.ngS on them.
The Commission, Of which Secretary
Baker has been appointed chairman by
President Wilson, will hold its first meet
ing Immediately upon Secretary Payne's
return from Alaska about August :. The
hearings and the regulations will be pushed
as speedily as possible so that the water
power legislation, which has been ten years
in the making, can be put into effect with
out undue delay.
The tentative regulations are being
drawn up by a special committee of the
War, Interior and Agricultural Depart
ments. 1t is composed of Major General
Enoch III. Crowder. representing the War
Department; O. c. Merrill, waterpOwer
expert in the forestry service, who has
been designated executive secretary OF the
commission and H. A. Stabler, of the
Interior Department
Members OF the committee say the regu-
latlons Will be extensive and that they
probably will be announced In series,
with open hearings on ca ch group before
they are made final. Those relating to
form and condition of application for
survey permit or licenses will be the first
announced. The most difficult problem
involved in drawing up the regulations
members of the committee say, is that of
establishing uniform system Of account
ing for licenses as required by the act.
Under the Waterpower Bill the com
mission is empowered to issue licenses
for period not exceeding so years. The
licensees will pay to the government
reasonable annual charges in an amount
TO be fixed by the commission. Upon
the expiration of any license the govern
ment, If two years notice in writing has
been given by the commission, will have
the right TO take over and operate any
waterpower development after payment
OF the net investment of the licensee in
the project or projects taken, not to
exceed the fair value of the property
plus such reasonable damages, If any,
TO property of the licensee as may be
caused by the severance therefrom OF
property taken.
In cases where such notice has not been
given the government also will have the
right to take over upon mutual agreement
with the lcensee any property developed
under the terms of the bill subject to the
payment of the net investment.

Tonight is the last chance to see the big bill which has pleased large audiences at the Lyceum the first three days of the week. Norma Tal-
 mage in 'She Loves and I.ies," is seen in one of her best pictures. The vaudeville is up to the usual high standard. The Les Merchants have an act which is away above the aver age turn seen these days. The two men in the act are the best players of stringed instruments in the world The new bill which opens at the play house tomorrow is headed by Henry 5. Walthall in "The Long Arm of Mannister.' It is the story of man whom the world soaght to destroy. This man embittered by the treach- cry of wife, friends, of every one whom he held dear, after world- wide pilgrimage of vengeance dis covered that it is nobler to forgive than to avenge, that love and not hate is the greatest thing in life. The play is taken from the famous novel by F.. Philips Oppenheim. The story is full of action and the narrative is compact, lively and exciting making a most diverting companion for an idle hour Ben Turpin in "The Nut Crackers will be shown on the same ture of the new bill which opens to- morrow afternoon at the Lyceum for the remainder of the week.
