NATIONAL CONS-fcRVrVTlOM CXGiSbS'S WE-ri KJBK VAM IK CONSTRUt 1 ION WASHINGTON (Special) Pri vate industrial development of the great water power resources of the United States was emphatically en dorsed by the Nat'onal Conservation Congress, which has just come to a close in this city. After a stormy three hours' debate, the Congress, the preat conservation body of the country, recorded its official approval of this principle by a vote of three to one. The spectacular feature of the fight' was the turning down of Gif ford Pinchot by the Conservation Congress, of whose executive com mittee he was a member. Pinchot charged that the Congress was pack ed and was met with the declaration that his charee was an insult to every governor, mayor and chamber of commerce president, who had been invited to appoint the delegates which made up the meeting.- The re sult of the debate the endorsement of the Shields , and Myers water power bills is taken by the mem bers to mean that the big conserva tion body had grown tired of 'a tying-up of the country's resources and was ready and anxious to put itself on record on these soecilic legislative measures providing for I who built the Keokuk dam as well as development of resources. big water power plants at Niagara The development oi water power, ana on uie susquenanna mver, navw which conservationists recognize as the greatest natural resource the country has, has been brought almost to stagnation by the tailure oi legis lation locking to its devel jpment. Business men with capital have stood ready to start on the hazardous un dertaking of harnessing great rivers in order to provide cheaper power and light, as well as cheaper fertil izers for the farmer and a greater supply of explosives for our army and navy, through the new process of taking nitrogen from the air by means of water power. They have been met with the cry of "trust" and "monopoly," until, as business men, thev were almost ready to abandon their efforts. The action of the Con servation Congress, however, in plac ing its stamp of approval on a plan to permit private industry to go ahead and develop water powers, un der a limited franchise and carefully governed restrictions, is regarded as the most important step to water power conservation that has been made in recent years. Such men as Hugh L. Cooper, the been prominent in the power fight. The President and members of his Cabinet end members of Congress, without regard to political affilia tions, have been advocating strongly the necessity of legislative action that will put an end to a stagnation in the development of this wonderful resource. Almost every other nation of any size, it has been pointed out, is aheaJ jt America in the use of water power. This fact, it is said, coupled with the growing demand of the people of the Uiited States that something be done so that the coun try can utilize, as well as conserve, this vast resource, is regarded as the basis of the decisive action by the Conservation Congress. The meeting was made up of,, prominent experts in both federal and state governments, senators and representatives and prominent men from practically every state in the Union. Dr. Henry S. Drinker, presi dent of Lehigh University, was chair man of the committee on resolutions, ...l:-u J I - e ., nf.t.

Carranza, troops who 'were defending Ameri cans, killed three Mexicans during anti-American riots on Tuesday and Wednesday nights at Chihuahua City according to reports this afternoon. The American consulate was nearly destroyed, and the American resi dents wired for a special train to take them to the be 'der. After tne trouble commenced General Lopez arrived on the scene with -oorps and placeo. guard military thereupon placed a heavy guard arouud the club. The few . Americans who remain in Chihuahua, and the other foreign ers, were not molested, and no pri vate houses were attacked The 'demonstration was aimed not so much against the Americans as in dividuals as fainst the American government's policy of retaining troops in Mexico without, as the riot ers '-cllevo. any apparent reason. PJITION AU10 XKW RESIDENTS ARRIVE strong around the consulate. The mob then contented Itself with throwing a few stones at the foreign club. Later, when the club was in darkness, some of the rioters re- Leonard Lovelace and son, Hoss Lovelace, of Portland, arrived to day to take charge of their new ranch on South Deer creek. The ranch was recently purchased of Mr. Priest, who is at present in Port land. A doparture in moving house hold goods was noted as they brought their goods to this city in a rfied and broke more 'glass. The, tn-ce motor truck I :feMgjl -!5 A petition hearing the names of a number of the prominent citizens of the city was presented to th county court today asking them to furnish the county roadniusler with au automobile In order . that he might more easily reach the districts under his charge. It was claimed that he could in this way visit the several road dstrlcts much more quickly and would fnow better the condition of the roadB for travel. As Mr. Sinclair has already , purchased a machine, the request went on to ask that the court pay his expenses Incurred while on official business. The petition was signed by 30 or 4 0 local residents. As It is the cus tom of the court to pny the road master a lump sum from which he is to pay his own expenses no action was taken. . .triuni - a PER CEKE j AVetablcPKpJuaHj5' WfiieSlomhsairfpjs n. I..

S. Hein- liue opened her series of recitals by presenting ' her more advanced pu pils In piano study. Hoses and ivy were lavishly used In converting the platform Into a pergola. Arches had been constructed for this purpose forming the framework for the en twined greenery and with the bank of roses which extended entirely across the platform, the effect was very beautiful. After the class had taken their places in the choir loft. Mrs. Hein lino announced that two numbers OfihnrilllAl fnr Iho lirnpnini WOlltll nOl ' appear, as Merritt Senter, who was to have played a serenado,' had In jured his hand and would be un to perfprni, and Hiawatha Wilson, whose number was Mendelsson's Hunting Song, had gout to Port land to accept a position for the summer. The program opened with a piano quartet by four girls who played "La Caprlclcuse" from Eggel ing on two pianos. The Misses Annabelle Denn, Alberta Christie, Lois Woodruff and Ethel Watson participated in this number which was carried off with dash and in perfect tempo. Miss Neva Pickens gave the "Ballet of Sirens" from Kolllng; Miss Clementine Mcllcyn- olds "Robin's Return, from Eisn er, an atry. springtime composition. Miss Dyrma Price and MrB. Holnllne played Godard's "Berceuse" In duet. followed by Mr. F. H. Applehoff with two selections on tne clarinet, ine Mighty Deep" and "Holy Night".

Eva Rice gave the favorite "Fiuiste Fantasie," and Mr. Lymon Spencer favored with two barltouo solos, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Heinline and by Mr. Applehoff on the 'cello In the first number nnd the violin In the second. A duct by' Jeanetto Rice and Dorothy Orcutt wus pinch enjoyed, as was a solo by Mlss'.ois Woodruff. "Tho Spinner,' In which the droning, swift moving theme was fluently carried out by tho player. Miss Annabelle Denn appeared In a solo from Roslnni's "Stabat Mater," and Alberta Christie interpreted Wngncr's "Tannhaiiser" very plenslngly.

Tomorrow evening she wfll present her kindergarten class her final recital of this serins.
