T " J Waajrtngton. Jan. ,16. (WA.SH INCTOI BUREAU OP THE JOUR NAL.) The Smoot theory of water power JegiHlatlon prevailed over the Lertroot tea In final clashes over the Jones bill Thursday, resulting; in pannage of the measure substan tially as reported by the senate com mittee, with a vote of 52 to 18. 1 Prior to this, Smoot forces, by a-vote of 44 to 22. succeeded in restoring- the ' : senate amendment which limits the fed v Jeral charge for power developed on pub lic lands to 25 cents per horsepower. which the senate had rejected on a pre vious vote. ; Another principal difference was over . provisions of the recapture clause, which. Lenroot declares, amount to granting perpetual license to power corporations r and gives away forever these natural re sources, VETO MAT BE USED 1 This result follows, he asserts, because the government will not take over works at the end of 50 years and will not be able to lease to any new applicant be' Cause of provisions for payment of sev erance . damages compelling renewal of lease from year to year to original cor porations. Lenroot is confident that the presi dent will veto the bill if it passes with the senate amendments. The fight will now be carried to the conference com-' mittee of the two houses. Jones of Washington, Nelson of Minnesota, Bank head of Alabama. Smoot of Utah, Fall ''; of New Mexico, and Myers of Montana ' ' were named conferees for the senate, all of them strong partisans of the senate ' amendments, r 1INECP OF HEWATOKS House conferees probably will be Each j of Wisconsin, Sinnott of Oregon, Haugen i of Iowa, Hamilton of Michigan, Sims of Tennessee and Ferris of Oklahoma. who are expected to stand Just as strongly for the house bill, under which the federal waterpower commission . would be granted full discretion to fix charges and not be so closely restricted ton recapture. .T Those voting against the bill were JBorah.

QUERIES ON SUGAR One of Men Said to Have Criti cised Government for Activity in Tpying to Regulate Prices. Woman Speaks on Democracy "A Woman's Opinion of an Ideal Democracy," is the subject of an ad dress which Miss LuOe E. Stearns of Milwaukee is to deliver before the Ore gon Civic league at the Benson hotel Saturday noon. A. G. Clark, manager of the Associated Industries of Oregon, will speak on "Oregon's Products," Four grocery retailers who are ac cused by United States Attorney Humphreys of getting undue profits through the sale of sugar, were be fore the federal grand Jury moat of this morning. The future status of their cases will be made known. through the jury's report, probably Saturday. One of the men arraigned is said to have criticized before the grand jury the government's price control activity, declaring that the law which prevented a dealer from Interpreting for himself what constitutes a fair margin of profit is vicious. Jobbers and wholesalers who persist in forcing retailers to purchase, two sacks of cane sugar at $15.90 for each sack of cheaper beet sugar at $11.27 a sack will be prosecuted under the food control act, Humphreys said Thursday after a conference with W. K. Newell, food administrator. Under the federal food control act. hlch expressly, prohibits, an "discrim inatory device or practice, the alleged operation of wholesalers and Jobbers Is dearly a .violation of law, according to Humphreys. Prosecutions will zoUow Jn all cases brought to the attention of the district attorney. It was announced. There can be no other interpreta tion put' on the law that I can see, said Humphreys after his conference Thursday afternoon with Newell. Newell doesn't believe the cane sugar price will rise since there is- a large new crop and It is already coming into Port land. Wholesalers have been warned not to ask more than 915.90 for 100 pounds of cane which they sell for 18 cents a pound. RESPONSIBILITY 03T JOBBER Several weeks ago arrests were .made in cases where retailers were accused of selling sugar above the retail price set by "the food control act. Thursday morn ing the responsibility for the sugar situ ation was shifted to the wholesalers and jobbers, who were accused of unfair practice in forcing the retailers to ac cept the higher price sugar if they want ed the cheaper beet sugar. Humphreys says he can see no rea son why beet sugar should be sold only with a double quantity of. cane sugar. He believes it only a device to ."work off the higher priced stuff now arriving- - Dri'sSSM H$ nee Suspended by Judge S II ill Edward J.

The tea-taste dcrclops first; then the tan nin comes along. If you steep it only long enough to draw-out the tea, you get weak tea. If you let it steep longer, the tannin, harsh-puckery taste, com pletely smothers the tea-taste, fluid that really can't be called tea. Fine tea, like Schilling's, contains very little tannin. If you steep it right not too long you skip the tan nin altogether. You get nothing but delicious, invig orating tea. There are four flavors of Schilling , Tea Japan, Ceylon India, Oolong, English Breakfast. All one quality. In parchmyn-lined moisture-proof packages. At grocers everywhere.
