THE GREAT KANAWHA IMPROVEMENT.
Watchdog Holman VIII Make an Effort to
Knock Out all River and Harbor Appro-

Knock Ont all River and Harbor Appro-
priations.
Special 7ele0r am to the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., January 23.-
Through the efforts of the late Senator
Kenna iu the River and Harbor bill, passed
at the last session OF Congress, the I'm
provemeut of the Kanawha river was
placed under the continuous con-
tract system; that is, the Dill
provided that the total cost or lm-
proving the river should not exceed
certain amount, and the Secretary Oh war
was authorized TO make contracts az once
for completing the entire work. ms was
done TO insure the speedy and unlnterrupt-
ed prosecution of the improvements ana IL
was expected much more favorable terms
could be got from contractors in this way.
OF course all the money needeo
TO complete the work was not appropria-
ton last session, but it was left TO Con-
gress to make provision each year tor tne
work of the following fiscal year. Thls
session no river and hsrbor bill has oeen
prepared, and the appropriations for WORK
under the continuous contracts were ln-
cluded IN the sundry civil bill which came
up in the House to-day.
The items for river and harbor work ag-
gregate about SIC, 600 and among them
Is 6 $500, 900 item for continuing improve
ments of the Great Kanawha.
Judge Holman, Chairman Of the appro-
priations committee, is said 10 be deternl-
ined that this $l6,000OO0 shall not be
appropriated il he can help it, and ne
has laid his plans to have the
items knocked out on a point of order or
in some other way. Mr. Anderson, OF West
Virginia, is looking after the Great Ka-
nawhsitem and is aware OF Judge Holman's
plans. He will do all we can to get the
money for the Kanawha improvement and
feels confident that he can do so.

Michael Sherron and d. 8. Mitchell, rep
resenting the Building Trades Council Of
Allegheny county, have returned home
from Wheeling, w. Va, at which place
they were engaged IN soliciting funds for
the Homestead sufferers. They spent
more than week in the Nail City and are
more than pleased at the reception accord
ed them, not only by the labor organiza-
tions, but by the business men and citizens
in general. When seen this afternoon,
President Sherron said:
1--WE cannot say too much for the people
of Wheeling, who treated US in most gen
erous manner. Being aware OF our object,
the officials of the labor organizations lent
US all the assistance in their power, and
our visit was decidedly successful. We Sc
cured q large amount of food and clothing,
as we'll as cash donations. President Dob
Ter and Secretary Salisbury, Of the Ohio
Valley Trades and Labor Assembly, assist
ed US considerably in our work, while Gar
field local Assembly 1921, X. Of L., COM
posed of cigarmakers, presented US
with credentials. Councilman Farrell
did much effective work in our
behalf. On Saturday we shipped one con-
signment Of goods to Homestead via the
Adams Express Company, the latter con.
Germ having granted US the privilege OF
transportation free Of charge. Mr. Pol
lack, the well-known cigar manufacturer,
was one of the many who rendered assist
ance.n
Mr.. Mitchell, who was listener TO the
above conversation, at its conclusion, ap'
proved of Mr.. Sherron's sentiments. The
gentlemen were in Homestead to-day and
attended to the distribution Of goods. They
state that food and clothing isyet badly
needed

THE AMERICAN END.
Ex-secretary Thompson Does Not Be-
lieve There Was Amy Bribery Here.

New YORK, January 93.-The Herald
publishes the following from It's CORE
spondent at Terre Haute, Ind:
81 had a two hours conversation with
Ex-Secretary of the Navy Thompson, late
American president of the Panama Canal
Company. Colonel Thompson talked free
lv and unreservedly on the subject OF the
American branch of the Panama Company.
At the outset he said: ~ would gladly
give you any information in my power
that would throw light upon the anslrs OF
the Panama company and particularly
any light that might disclose bribery or
corruption in any form in the American
branch, bit must say that II there was
any bribery, am not aware Of it and do
not think there was in the American
branch. am at loss TO know where 10
start In to investigate this alleged bribery
in this country. The only occasion when
the Panama Canal Company was interested
in Congress, was In 1881, when RepreSen'
tative Crapo, of Massachusetts, had up
his resolution declaring that the construc-
ton of the Panama canal by foreign capl-
Ia and foreign power was contrary to the
spirit OF the Monroe doctrine That reso-
luton was referred TO the committee on
foreign affairs Of the House. Now II any
BODY was pribed it was this committee, lor
this committee smothered lude reSoiut!oh
after a full and fair discussion, lasting
some days and it was never heard OF again;
"If tha. resolution of Mr.. Crapo's mad
passed it would have ended the Panama
Canal. 4 dozen or so distinguished gen
tlemen, some Of whom were Allen Thorn
dixie Rice, Admiral Ammon aud james Is.
Eads made arguments before that com
mittee intending 10 bring about that re-
suit.
"I was the only person on the Panama
side. made an argument in favor OF the
canal, and the committee unanimously con-
CURED. l held that the resolution OF Mr..
Grape did not properly enunciete the
Monroe doctrine; that that doctrine ex:
pressly guaranteed the sovereignty OF
Colombia; that the Monroe doctrine was
not violated by private corporation and
would not be unless the government OF
France assumed political jurisdiction on
the Isthmus, which | strongly opposed.
.'De Lesseps himself stated that II there
was 10 be any political contral OF the canal
company he would prefer that the United
States should be that power and France
filed statement in our State Department
disclaiming any such political intention:
With the reason and the facts in favor OF
the canal IL is unreasonable to suspect
bribery and improper motives"
