WHY THE PRISON IS FULL.

Plans for the construction Of large
number Of new cells at the Vermont
state prison in Windsor do not speak
markedly for the moral uplift in the
state at the present time. But the
fact remains that vermonts jail pop
uFation has been largely augmented
during the last sin months by the
drift from the large cities of other
states and Is not, therefore, 10 be at
tributed to any great moral deteriora-
ton in Vermont people. Every sum
mer there is a considerable movement
Of criminals and ne'er-do-wells from
the large centers Of population to the
more open country like Vermont; and
this summer has been no exception.
In fact, the summer just past has oeen
unusually marked in this respect be-
cause Vermont is one Of the chief
Highways between the United States
and the legal liquor area in the Prov
ince Of Quebec, and many Of the ex-
ploiters Of liquor from the large cities
have stopped along the route either by
oompnlsion Or by necessity Of conii-
tions. In consequences, Nermont's jail
and prison population has taken on an
increase which noT necessitates lar ssr
accommodation At the state prison n

Backed by Governor,
Would Give Commission
Right of Eminent Domain
From a staff Correspondent

ALBANY, March 21.-The creation
of state water power commission
with sweeping powers. including the
right of eminent domain, is provided
for in bill introduced tonight by
Senator Leonard w. H. Gibbs, of Buff
falo, and carrying out recommends
tons made by Governor Miller in his
recent message to the Legislature.
Under the right Of eminent domain
the commission, to further water
power development, can condemn any
private property which may be neces-
sary. The commission, which is to
consist of the State Conservation Com
missioner, the Attorney General, the
majority leader of the Senate and the
Speaker of the Assembly, is given sole
charge of the formulation of definite
state water power pollcy
The commission may make surveys
and Investigations and would be given
free access to all property and records
of persons or corporations to whom
water power licenses are issued 1t
also devolves upon the commission to
protect the states water power rights
against any act of the Federal govern
ment which may be considered as an
infringement upon the states water
power rights, as we'll as to confer with
Federal authorities relative to further
development of power in the Niagara
and st. Lawrence rivers.
The commission is empowered tc
grant applications for water power
licenses for period up to fifty
years and fix the amount to be charged
by the state in return for these rights
The sums collected are to be turn &c
over to the State Treasurer. The
measure also contains provision fol
the leasing of surplus barge cana
waters after the State Superintendent
of Public Works has certified that
these waters are not necessary for the
operation of the canal
When issuing licenses the state re-
serves the right to regulate through
the state Public Service Commission
rates, service and capitalization of
water power companies. Provision is
made that licensees must begin actual
water power development, or take steps
toward construction, within a given pc
riod, as we'll as keep their plants in
good repair and efficient working order.
The measure carries an initial ap-
preparation of $4,000 and authorizes
the commission, of which the Con
serration Commissioner is to become
chairman, to select its own staff of
employees, which shall include sec
retary and as many engineers as may
be necessarY

ALASKA'SONLY CABARET WILL
 OPEN TONIGHT

The completion of the Empress cabaret and the initial dance with which it opeps tonight, marks an epoch in the social life of Cordova. It is an event that has been looked forward to for months, and the fact that Cordova alone, of all Alaskan towns, indeed of all towns north of San Francisco, can boast such place has raised her to q position of envy among her sister towns,
 During the past year Captain La. throp's name has become identified with all that is best in the field of amusecent. He has been satisfied with nothing cheap or ordinary. He has given his patrons theaters per- feet in equipment, comfort and beau ty; the best music obtainable. and the best pictures that are made.
 In opening the Empress cabaret Capt. Lathrop says that the same high standards will be maintained the standards that have won the loyal support of his patrons in the past
 The fact that the work has been pushed to completion, in spite of the fact that general business conditions are quiet, and that we have fallen below our normal population, is proof of the captains confidence of better times ahead; proof of his belief that the people of Cordova will enjoy, appreciate and support the best in music, the highest class service, and the cleanest amusement obtainable- and that is what the Empress cab aret stands for, first, last and all the time
