Washington, Nov. lb.—With the
startling declaration that the entire
!water power of the United States it
[rapidly 'passing under monopolist!
[control, Gifford riucliot, formerlj
government chief forester, today told
jibe delegates attending the Nationa
.Conservation Congress, which is now
in session in this city, that stern
methods must be adopted to off-set
this tendency. This address was ac
cepted as a deflan'e to those who
would lose Federal control and ex-
t< nd the powers of granting water
power prl\lieges, to the individual
states.
Mr. PInchot declared that the de
velopment of» water power, only un
derproper safeguards, was the great
est necessity. He then produced gov
ernment figures to show that the
concentration of control had nearly
doubled within the past two years.
He said that the concentration of
•entcr-power control was increasing
faster than power development, and
lie said It meant the private control
of the necessities of life, ultimately.
Pinchot forced hefere the Conven
tion the minority report of the
committee on water power rights.
Former Secretary of the Interiot
Walter Fisher, who is President of
the Congress, permitted a suspension
of the rules, for n floor discussion of
the water power question, despite
the protests of scores who favored a
ombination of control by the nation
and states.

ELOPERS ARRESTED
KMPPIRGi
bC ;
Atlanta, Nov. 19.—It must
pretty tough to b e arrested lor kid
napping, when all you planned was
an honest and romantic elopement.
But that’s exactly what has happen
ed to John West and William Taylor.
The trouble was that they intend*
ed to marry two pretty sisters, one
aged only fourteen years and the
other only 17, whose father thought
they wore entirely too young to
know their own minds.
The two pretty girls are Misses
Minnie and Clara Smith, of Athens,
daughters of Cicero M. Smith. Mr.
Smith has Instituted the kidnapping
charges, and says he will prosecute
the cases to the limit of the l* w . He
holds that when two young men ®a-
vfegle two Innocent and inexperien
ced ?irls as young ns his daughters
into such an elopement escapade. It
is taking an unfair advantage of a
girl too young to realize the serious
consequences.
The gills were arrested the min
ute they got to Atlanta, so that they
never met the prospective grooms
here, and the wedding never took
place. ,
Both girla have entirely given up
the idea of matrimony, and are de
lighted to return home with their
parents.
There seems to be grave question
under the law, as whether or not
Mr. Smith can make a kidnapping
charge stick, as it appears that
though tho young ladies have now
repented their elopement plan, they
came to Atlanta of their own will
and accord with the honest, though
perhaps rash intentior of being mar
ried.

H. D. Ely. of Bantam. O., suffered
from horrible ulcer on his foot for

tion, but he refused nnd reluctantly

GAME WARDEN IS STRIPPED
Of Uio Powor of .\p|N>in(iug Game
Wardens in the Counties—Unus
ual State of Affairs in Ga.
Atlanta, Nov 19.—Of all thc de
natured political jobs and empty
honors ever handed a man irv Geor
gia, the prize lemon of them all
seems to have been handed to the
Honorable Charles L. Davis, now
state game commissioner.
If no individual has been to blame
then Mr. Davis, has been the victim
j cruel circumstances. The job of game
| commissioner is one that carries on-
jly a small salary, hut is of very
great importance because the state j
commissioner presumably, has the
authority to appoint all the countv
wardens throughout the state. It
Is what mtsht be termed in the strict
ly honest sense of the word, the
j “patronage” of tho office.
: Notf so sure was Mr. Davis that
he would have this important duty
to perform that he laid serious ten
tative plans for the organization of
a splendid state wide force of war
dens, his own appointee*, working
under his direction and carrying out
his ideas.
Instead he has had to swallow,
whether he likes it or not, the whole j
series of Mercer appointments,
which hold for practically the whole I
time Mr. Davis is in office: which j
were made by Mr. Mercer Just before !
he stepped down and out, and which j
Mr. Davis, apparently cannot change
