New York Finds Power Question Nearer Answer Annual Report Shows Progress To ward Understanding: With Washington Little Girl Injured With the rather checkered condi tion of the roads it is difficult to drive but with the greatest of care, and as Albert Timm, living a number of miles east of Greenwood was return ing home in his car and was driving along, it being just after dark and the visibility very poor on account or the darkness, the car hit a very had place in the road which with the sud den stop hurled their little daughter against the windshield, breaking the same and inflicting a severe cut in the forehead of the little one.

Likewise, the Red Cross has help ed one family more than all the sub scriptions from this vicinity have put into the Red Cross. The Burlington Relief has helped several and the American Legion has helped some. However, there is one family in town whose wants are not amenable to any of the above sources of relief and they are in sore need. Some other families which have been get ting some of the above mentioned re lief cannot get any more from the Fame sources and they are beginning to feci the pinch cf hunger. Hence, we are appealing to those who have plenty to contribute any thing that is eatable, such as pota toes, flour, eggs, beans, meat or any thing which can be used on the table. When you sit down to your own well filled tables, think of those who sit down to half a meal or less. No one who has an abundance should turn a man from their door hungry in these times. Whether he would work or not we do not know. There is no work to be had. Several farmers are supplying milk to needy families. Probably they do not miss it much and it is very fine of them to help in that way. Please leave any contributions at the White and Bucknell store. Mr. White is a member of the relief com mittee and he will look after it and the committee will see that it is properly distributed. N. D. TALCOTT, Chairman. UTILITIES HAVE ATTENTION Washington.

"Was there an interlocking of di rectors and officers of these com panies in 1928?" Healy asked.

Progress toward an agreement with the United States Government regarding rights of New York State in the development o the St. Lawrence river waterpower was announced in the first annual re port cf the New lork State power aulhority. It was disclosed that conferences have been under way between the power authority and the Secretary of State, as well as with Mr. Henry J. Allen, President Hoover's special adviser on the St. Lawrence matter and one-time Republican Senator from Kansas. While the power authority admits that nothing can be done toward actual construction until a treaty is completed between the United State and Canada, it was stated that problems taken up at the confer ences included the engineering plans. method of financing, construction program and the allocation of cost which would be assigned to power and would be assumed by New York State. The report for the first time makes public the full correspondence engaged in with President Hoover and Mr. Henry L. Stimson. Secretary of State, detailing the efforts by the power authority and Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt to have a member of the power authority placed on the treaty commission to negotiate with Canada. On Oct. 1.", 1931. President Hco ver referred the power authority to the Secretary of State for answers to its questions to the rights of New Ycrk State, and on Oct. 2S a per sonal conference was conducted at Washington with Secretary Stimson. As a result of this, and subsequent confidential conversations with the State Department, the power au thority reports: "The secretary recognized that the claims of the state of New York to the water power which may be de veloped on the United States side of the St. Lawrence are entitled to careful and respectful consideration by the Federal Government and pointed out that while the executive department may recommend, the fi nal dcterimnation of such claims must rest with the Congress." The power authority, however, takes exception to a statement by Secretary Stimson in a letter to them on Nov. 3, 1931, in which it was stated that whatever the state's rights may be to the power, "the utilization of the electric power must in the end depend upon the author ity and permission of the Federal Government. Nevertheless the power authority asserts that progress has been made in dealing with the Government. BRITISH OFFICIAL WORRIED London The British government has received an official communica tion from the Irish Free State which reveals the "gravity and seriousness of the situation regarding the Irish land annuities," J. H. Thomas, sec retary for dominions, informed the house cf commons Tuesday. Eamon de Valera, new president of the Irish Free State, has said that he intends to discontinue payment of the land annuities to England. These annuities are money collected from Irish farmers in repayment of loans made on their behalf to buy out their landlords at the time of he establishment of the Free State. The total amount to 3,000,000 pounds a year. Mr. De Velera intends to continue collecting the money, but his point is that England has not established its claim to receive it. The Irish also serped notice that the oath of allegiance to the king would be abolished. J. V. Dulanty, high commissioner in London for the Free State, informed Mr. Thomas that the Irish people by overwhelming vote in' the last election had made mandatory the oath's removal.
