Waterways Navigabi|ity for

Dams for Plants.
By the Associated Press.


PADUCAH, Ky, October 11.-An
attack upon what he termed the
power combine and q warning that
people of a number of Middle Western
and Southern States ARE in great
danger OF being robbed of their nat
ural rights" in waterways develop
ment were contained in an address
here today by James E. Smith. pres1-
dent of the Mississippi Valley Asso-
ciation, in the opening session OF the
thirty-second annual convention of the
Ohio Valley Improvement Association.
Smith said that "a small group Of
grating and mercileSs schemers,
known as the power combine" is
attempting to gobble up all the power
prospects in the territory named for
the purpose of securing monopolistic
control of the rights which now be-
long to the people, and when OBJ
tanned to sell the power back to these
people at exorbitant prices which will
net millions upon millions of dollars.
This wicked scheme is being
worked out all over the United
States.
These schemers, who are delib.
erately planning to get control OF
many of our navigable rivers, care
nothing about their navigability, and
If allowed to do SO will build their
dams and power plants regardless Of
the fact as to whether or not
navigation Of the rivers is de-
Stroyed
THE methods employed by one Of
these scheming groups were graphic
ally illustrated several weeks ago
when a committee of investigation
discovered the fact that large sums
OF money had been given to candf-
dates of both political parties In Illi-
nois. and the disclosure resulted in
national scandal"

Condensed Resume of the Important
Events In the Nation and State.
MERCER, WORLD
WAR HERO, DIES
Kingdom of Belgium Plunged in
Sorrow as Heroic War Figure,
Courageous to End, Passes

Brussels-Cardinal MERCER, primate
of Belgium and one of the heroic
figures of the World war, died at the
age of IA, losing his long battle against
the decline that set in after an opera
ton December 20. He was surrounded
by members of his family. the clergy
of his archdiocese, and a representa-
tive of King Albert, when the end
came. Already there is talk in Brus-
sells of erecting a monument in honor
of "the wartime soul of Belgium" by
popular subscription.
Cardinal Desiratus Mercier was &C
claimed as hero priest by the civilized
world because of his defense of Bel
GUM, stricken to earth with the Ger
man advance in 1914 He was in
Rome when news of the invasion
reached him and fastened back to
Belgium. His courageous attitude to-
ward the invaders evoked the worlds
admiration. His devotion to his peo-
pie never faltered, even under the
pressure Of threats of violence to him
self. His famous Pastoral Letter Of
December, 1914, read in every church
in Belgium, has been called one of the
most damning indictments Of the Ger
man invasion of Belgium and German
treatment Of Belgium people ever
written.

tons since the observations were
taken, 1t is believed that station in
reference for 1925 will show a much
higher percentage.
A theory which is given credence
by the analysis is that signals from
distant stations are often of greater
intensity than signals from stations
of similar. power, but located COM
paratively near the observer. Ac-
cording to the analysis .'the data OBJ
tanned appeared to verify this opin-
ion."
The data In question showed that
there is sharp drop in the intensity
of station signals for the first *
miles. Between IS and 125 miles there
Is a slight increase in signal strength
while between 125 and IT'S miles there
is another sharp drop. Between 175
and up to $50 miles there is steady
and gradual increase In signal
strength.
The analysis shows that the
strength Of atmospherics for the
period studied was greatest in Sep
TENDER and least in February. Fad
ing was greatest In October and least
In February.
