CANNON HEARINGS
TO BEGIN WEDNESDAY
Col. Wade Cooper Among Score of
witnesses Nye Committee Will
Question.

The Nye Committee on Campaign
Expenditures of the Senate went ahead
yesterday with its plans for taking up
the Bishop Cannon inquiry next week.
The hearings are to open Wednesday,
and 1t is expected that it will require
three days to examine the score of
witnesses who have been subpoenaed.
Tt was announced today that Col.
Wade Cooper, president of the Com
mercial National Bank Of this city, had
been called as q witness and had ac-
cepted service. George Carter, public
printer, has also been called and J.
Sidney Peters of Newport News, Va.
While no official statement is given
out as to why Mr. Carter has been
called, 1t is assumed to be for the pur-
pose of informing the committee to
what extent public documents we're OBJ
tanned by those In charge of the anti
Smith campaign in Virginia In 1928.
Mr.. Peters is supposed to have knowl-
edge of some details of the dry war in
Virginia in that campaign.

The American State Department, In
denying that any negotiations were
under way, placed responsibility on
Canada for the delay.
Ready TO Negotiate.
AS q matter Of fact. in ofIicial circles
here 1t IS felt that the time is now ripe
for negotiations. The present govern
ment is committed to the st. Lawrence
project. Premier Bennett has not evaded
this committal when questioned on the
matter The administration has been
in office for more than year and no
apparent progress has been made In this
project. which is Of vital interest TO both
Canada and the United States. With
Mr.. Harridge having the confidence of
the premier, and large bodies of opinion
in both countries awaiting action, there
appears to be no reason for further
procrastination.
One Of the difficulties involved. so
fer as Canada Is concerned in the
underta king, is the question Of power
rights in the Canadian section OF the
river. A hypothetical case as to the
rights of the dominion versus the
province of Quebec was referred to the
Supreme Court of Canada some time
ago, but the court held that it could
not be definitely decided without hav-
ing concrete case to consider. This
case Is now available as a result of the
Beauharnois power project and It is
expected there will be another reference
to the court. The province claims all
Eower rights, end in this case the
dominion waived its supposed rights
and took the position that it did not
want to enter into power development.
Linked with Canal Plans.
One indication Of the direct commital
OF the Canadian government TO the st.
Lawrence waterways system was given
in the recent legisla ion brought down

MONTREAL MAYOR
MAY HEAD QUEBEC
Houde Dynamic Conservative,
Though Party 35 Years
Out of Power.
special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OTTAWA, Ontario, August 22.--Ca-
nillien Houde, mayor of Montreal and
Conservative leader in the Province Of
quebec, looms as a strong threat for
the premiership of Quebec. Notwith-
standing he must win 40 seats to gain
power In Quebec, he has thrown amaz-
ing vigor and energy into the campaign,
which will stimulate keen interest In
the election Monday.
Although the Conservative party has
not held office in Quebec for IS years,
this has not daunted Mayor Houde. A
vigorous and dynamic character, he has
made a decided impression upon the
electors and has caused much uneasi-
ness in Liberal ranks despite their
present strength.
Two for Premiership.
The "habitant." or humble Quebec
farmer. will decide whether p. Louis
Alexandra Taschereau, patrician (and
incunnbent), or Camillien Houde, man
of the people, is to be premier. Both
Conservatives and Liberals profess
strength in the rural sections. And de-
preston among the farmers is q strong
talking point.
Credit for the idea OF a Scent but
government is claimed by the ConSerya-
fiyes. Exclusion of cream from the
American market has dropped the price
of butter in Quebec below the price of
production, and the dairy farmers are
very restless.
Curiously enough, the women of Que
bee are excluded from the privilege OF
the franchise.
Another point which Camillien Houde
has been stressing Is that the Tasche-
reau government has refused old age
pensions. He has asSailed the Liberal
cabinet. on many other points, and has
particularly emphasized that there are
more than i've millionaireS in the gov
eminent.
Conservatism Inherent.
The people Of Quebec, per cent
French Canadian, are inherently Con-
sentative. Their Identification with the
Liberal ranks for the last IS years has
largely been due to the fact that the
late Sir Wilfrid Laurier, premier of
Canada from 1886 to 1911, was French
Canadian Liberal Also the federal
CONSUMPTION act Of 1917 drove many
French Canadian Conservatives into the
Liberal party fold.
Another factor Mayor Houde has en-
phaSized to the Quebec "habitant" is
that he is not enjoying the same aux
uries as the EngliSh-spaakin farmer of
Ontario. Cheaper hydroelectric power
under public ownership Is credited with
making farming less Of hardship to
the Ontario farmers.
Camillien Houde and Premier Tasche-
reau are decided opposites. Houde lives
in q nat over q Montreal grocery store
which costs him $40 month. Before
his election Mayor Houde was hum
BILE insurance agent. Mr.. Taschereau,
a member Of one Of the oldest French
Canadian families Of Canada, Is
nephew of Cardinal Taschereau,
nephew of the late Sir Elzear Tascl1e-
reau, former chief justice Of the SUI
preme Court Of Canada, and patricfan
in every respect.
The Conservatives numbered IL MEM
bers In the list Quebec Legislature
August "a 90 seats win be filed.
Mr.. Houde must gain 40 to emerge
victorious and. with the depression to
help him, his chances are good.

in connection with the Beauharnois.
While not directly related, IL did pro-
vide for the Beauharnois Canal being
safeguarded as far as Navigation rights
are concerned.
And while the prime minister. has
said that 1t Is too early to venture an
opinion as to the probable route Of the
canal, where portions CT the river neces-
states a canal, there Is no doubt Of the
intention to utilize the Beauharnois
Canal in the major undertaking. 1t is
being built so that it can take the
whole flow Of the st. Lawrence and
so as to provide for navigation, which
would go through from the Great Lakes
to the Atlantic.
All indications are to the effect that
real negotiations soon will be under
taken. There has been sufficient pre-
liminary discussion In both countries
and the Canadian government woIId
be implementing its promise to the
electorate and plank in its platform
by pushing the ST. Lawrence project

OTTAWA, Ontario, August 81
When w. D. Harridge, Canadian Min

it is expected here that he will take
with him authority to enter into
negotiations in regard to the st.
Lawrence waterways development.
just what powers will be given him
in this respect are not known, but it
is known that the Minister has studied
the project and has much information
in respect to it. II also is known that
Premier Bennett has confidence in his
ability to carry on these important
negotiations, and that this was one of
the reasons for his appointment.
Canadian and American interest In
the st. Lawrence project was stirred
again this week with the disclosure of
a letter written to President Hoover
by Gov. Roosevelt of New York, ex-
pressing concern over a report that
secret negotiations were being conducted
between the United States and Canada

Gas by Wire.

One of the advantages in the natural
gas operations is that aside from dis
tributing gas directly to consumers
throughout the Southwestern States,
operations have taken on far greater
range by transmission of gas by wire"
This refers to the increasing use of
natural gas as fuel for power genera
ton, which has been applied to many
electric plants in the Southwest. Thus
natural gas generates electricity for
hundreds of miles throughout the COM
pany's territory, the electricity in turn
travelling further great distances to ulti-
mate consumers.
