At the meeting was distributed No

purported to represent the organization.
The paper, called The Jefcrsorinn, con-

The Temmany majority of the Board
or Aldermen. at yesterdays session.
Ailied in quick succession two resolutions
seeking to allow the Badger water meter
20 be sold In New York. without even
permitting the resolutions to be read. A
similar fate met another resolution
which asked for an Aldermanic investi-
cation into the charges OF William Cetti,
agent for the Badger meter, before the
Lockwood committee that William p.
Kenneally. vice-chairman OF the Board
OF Aldermen, had prevented the board
from approving his meter which already
had received the sanction of the De-
partnent Of Water Supply. Gas and
Electricity. Kenneally himself presided
and was accused Of ruling in such a
manner as to prevent the resolutions
from being read and to railroad them to
the table.
The storm broke when the clerk began
reading a resolution of Bruce NJ. Fal-
coner. Republican, to approve the meter.
Peter j. McGuinness. Democrat from
Greenpoint interrupted the reading be-
fore the premises were finished:
"Mr. Chairman, I move the clerk stop
reading right where he's at and the reso-
luton be laid on the table"
You've heard the motion. The clerk
will call the roll" declared Kenneally.
Falconer leaped to his feet, shouting
Il don't propose to be shut off in any
such manner"
Nov, don't get excited" retorted
Kenneally. "The clerk will proceed with
the roll call"
While Falconer was trying to mako
himself heard above the roar OF Ken
neally's gavel Alexander Braunstein,
Socialist, demanded to know IL Ken
neatly didn't think. inasmuch as the
resolution implied an attack upon him,
that It would be better for him to per-
nit 1t to be read. Kenneally ignored
the thrust.
Falconer finally obtained recognition
on point of order that the reading of
the resolution could not be stopped by
a motion to table. kenneally overruled
the point. Falconer assailed the chair
man and his tactics, saying, This board
is becoming a Joke. What is there in
this resolution you are afraid of? III
It's all square, why don't you let 1t go
it's regular course? Are you afraid TO
let the Badger water meter in? You
know this resolution is loaded with dyna-
mite, and that is why you won't have 1t
read"

Ask for Changes in Water-Power Rules

nUOTING President Harding's dec
~ laration for more business in
government and less government in
business" a committees of electric
power executives has asked the fed
eral water power commission to revise
certain portions of the regulations for
development of power under the new
water power laws which were pro-
mulgated by the old commission just
before it went out of office, March 4.
1t was the second meeting of the
new commission composed of Secre-
taries- Weeks, Fall and Wallace. Just
before the close of, the last. admins

mulgated regulations which the power
men today acknowledged to be about
10 per cent workable, but containing
provisions, which they said, undeni-
ably would prevent the development
Of water power projects which the
bill was intended to stimulate.
The regulations, as drawn by the
outgoing commission, the power exec
utives told the secretaries, seek to
constitute the federal commission q
regulatory body with expensive ma
chinery, involving duplicate systems
Of accounts and thousands of employ
ees. Congress, they argued, it was

Secretary Weeks announced for
mally that Brigadier General Allen
had made overtures to the German
government looking to the pardOning
of Carl Neuf and Franz thinner,
Americans sentenced to prison terms
at Eberbach, Germany, for attempting
to arrest Bergdoll on German soil
General Allen has reported to the
War department that Neuf and Zim-

able in the prison where they are
held.
1t was said that the state depart

capped into Germany by obtaining a
passport in Canada. Under the Brit
ish law, Justification of a passport is
a felony punishable by Imprisonment,
and in diplomatic circles the opinion
was advanced that the British gov
eminent could demand that the Ger
man government surrender BergdOll
for trial. Doubt was expressed
whether he could be returned to the
United States by British authorities.

appropriations for the commissions

To carry out the regulations as they
now stand the secretaries were told,

of thousands of dollars a year, retard
the development of power projects
and represent duplication of effort.

BY amended regulations, the power
executives maintained, the govern
