House Rejection of Plan
 to Curb Utilities Causes
 Disappointment, Speculation
By BYRON PRICE tChief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

For two special reasons, House rejection of the Roosevelt utilities plan caused something more than momentary disappointment in the Administration.
 One reason is that if MT. Roose- welt has any pet" policy, it is his utilities policy. He has a special ized interest in the power issue, ' in its various forms He had much experience with it when he was Governor of New York, and he has reached conclusions about it which are quite fixed and definite.
 The other reason is that the orig inal bill, which the House rewrote, was one of the outstanding products of the young liberals of the ad- ministration-som called the brain trusters." For a long time they had been polishing up this piece of legislation, and looking for ward to it's passage. What happened to their handiwork was accepted generally as the hardest slap Con- gress has given this group of young Presidential advisers.
 MT. Roosevelt has been defeated in the House on other issues, but somehow this defeat seemed to go a little nearer home than any other. There was something of the person. al element in 1t.
 Power Interests Silent Ally
 Many factors were involved in the House maneuvering. and it is a matter of dispute which contrib uted most to the final outcome.
 It has been a long time since a vote on any bill was accompanied by so many charges of lobbying, on both sides. The House Commit tee designated to investigate these allegations doubtless will stir up it will discover any solid facts which lot of dust, but that need not mean are not already known Usually these inquiries don't.
 Whatever may have been the &C., tual influence Of the power lobby

NO SETTLEMENT

ROME, July 16.-The authorita- tive newspaper Giornale d'Italia which often mirrors the Italian Governments views, today said flat ly that no diplomatic formula for ssttlement of the Italo Ethiopia dispute could be found.
 Such formulae, the newspaper asserted, is capable of only alter ing conditions of the conflict with out eliminating its inevitability.
 Militarists asserted the mobiliza- ton of two new military divisions made Italy ready for any even- tuality in East Africa.
 Confidence is based on the mili- tary opinion that for the present two white divisions, aided by 75,O00 native troops from the colonies are more than sufficient to push into Ethiopia.
