Boise, Idaho.—Both houses of the
Idaho legislature passed a bill to pre­
vent the waters of north Idaho lakes
and rivers being appropriated for irri­
gation or power uses outside the state.
It defeats development of the Colum­
bia basin project in Washington if
undertaken at the expense of Idaho.
Undkr present laws there is nothing
to prevent appropriation and impound­
ing of Idaho waters by outside inter­
ests, and it was made plain at a con­
ference of state officials of northwest
states at Spokane recently that both
irrigation and power interests of
Washington intended to take steps to­
ward storage of water in various
lakes snd streams of north Idaho for
i their benefit. The waters affected are
lakes Pend Oreille and Coeur d'Alene,
and St. Joe, Clarks Fork, Pend Oreille
and Spokane rivers.

Vote of 45 to 22 Results on McKellar
Resolution.
i
Washington, D. C.—Elevation, for
the present at least, of the big guns
on 13 of America's battleships, op-
I posed by President Coolidge, received
the emphatic disapproval of the sen­
ate.
The vote was 45 to 22 and came
on a motion by Senator McKellar,
democrat, Tennessee, to suspend the
rules for consideration of his amend­
ment to the pending annual naval
supply bill authorizing an appropria­
tion of *6,500,000 for the gun eleva-
tion.
Only one republican, Johnson. Cali-
torn la, supported the motion, which
would have required a two-thirds ma­
jority. Eight democrats, including
Senator Swanson, Virginia, ranking
minority member of the naval com­
mittee, and one farmer-labor, Ship-
stead, voted against it.
Governor’s Wishes Disregarded.
Cheyenne, Wyo.—The first recom­
mendation by the first woman gover­
nor in the United States to a state
legislature was rejected by the Wyo­
ming sonate Monday when it voted to
poatpons indefinitely a resolution
ratifying the federal child labor
amendment.

iSt AMENDMENTS
TO VOLSTEAD ACT
Washington. D. C.—Declaring diver­
sion of aleohol the chief problem of
prohibition enforcement, James J.
Britt, counsel for the prohibition en­
forcement unit, has recommended to
the senate investigation committee two
amendments to the Volstead act de­
signed to remedy the situation.
One amendment would limit denat­
uration plants to alcohol distilleries
and to distillery premises and the oth­
er would give the enforcement agency
complete supervision of the denatured
alcohol until it goes to the consumer.
Roy A. Haynes, field marshal of en­
forcement since early in the Harding
administration, seems likely to be re­
placed by someone who heretofore has
viewed the government's prohibition
activities from a distance and who will
bring to the service enforcement opin­
ions of his own.
Meantime jt has been revealed at
the White House in the most authori­
tative manner that President Coolidge
would like to see federal agents give
their major attention to bootlegger*
and not to hip-pocket flasks and that
he does not favor a bill reported by
the house judiciary committee making
it mandatory for courts to impose jail
sentences on those convicted of break­
ing the Volstead act.
BRIEF GENERAL NEWS

isters signed tho protocol for distribu­
tion of the Dawes plan annuities in

Groat Britain does not take the

necessary to make Germany carry out
the Dawes plan, the British foreign
office has made clear.
After weeks of wrangling and indeci­
sion, the senate passed finally the
