SENATE PASSES
pgf WATER-POWER BOX/
Washington, Jan. 19.?By a vote of
nearly three to one, the Senate passed
the water-power development bill.
This bill is difefrenti n some respects
from the mleasure passed by the
House of Representatives last July
but it embodies in a general way the
plan which has been before Congress
in one form or another for the last
ten years or more.
L' f
Five Republicans and thirteen
Democrats voted against the bill as
against fifty-six votes in its favor.
The bill now goes to conference for
adjustment of the Senate and House
differences.
t
Just before the final vote was tak"
en the Senate reconsidered its former
action and restored an amendment
under which the Government
charge on water power is limited to
25 cents per horse-power developed.
Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin opposed
this amendment, declaring that it
was calculated to cause the President
tn veto the bill.
As passed by the Senate the bill
provides for the creation of a Federal
Water-Powef Commiission, composeu
of the Secretaries of War, Interior,
and Agriculture, which would be authorized,
after investigation, to issue
licenses for the development of waterprojects
"for a reasonable annual
charge." The licenses would run for
fifty years.
The measure also provides that the
Federal Commission shall cooperate
with the State and other Federal
agencies; that there shall be no
charge on State and municipal power
projects; and that industrial plants
developing less than 2000 horse-power
shall not be required to* pay a license.
On two years notice in writing the
United States would have the right, at
the expiration of a license, to take
over and ^operate plants. Power
plants now in operation would not
come under the operation of law.

INVESTIGATION' COMMITTEE
TOLD BOLSHEVISM STRONG
IN OLD MEXICO
San Antonio, Tex., Jan. 17.?At
yesterday's session, three women and
four men told the Senate committee,
investigating Mexican relations at
San Antonio, Texas, of their own, their
families and their friends sufferings
in Mexico. In each case, the witnesses
said, they had been impoverished
as a result of the act of the various
lawless bands that have been operating
in Mexico. And in not a single
case has the Government of Mexico
offered the sufferers the least reparation.
