TRANSMITTED TO THE HOUSE.
The Report of the Deep Waterways
Commission.

The report of the Deep Waterways
Commission was transmitted by Secretary
Root to the House of Representatives
yesterday. The report is signed by Lieu
tenant Colonel Raymond, and Messrs AL
fred Noble and George Y. Wisner.
The project before the commission is
one of vast magnitude. for deep water
way and routes between the Great Lakes
and Atlantic tidewater. The estimated
cost OF twenty-one foot waterway is
given at S206. .35S. 600: and of a thirty-foot
waterway. s317. .2si,50O.
An additional estimate is made for
deepening the harbors at Chicago and Du-
luth. making the total aggregate for the
thirty foot channel of s326, ,S92, coo. The
cost of annual maintenance of the twen-
ty-one foot waterway is given at s2.343.-
AS. and CT the thirtyfoot waterway,
s2.930,3O
The question of routes, water levels
etc, is presented to the extent of several
thousand pages of typewrit;ng
The most favorable route the commits
sion states, for a thirty-foot waterway
from the lakes to the sea is from Lake
Erie to Lake Ontario via Lasalle and
Lewiston and from Lake Ontario to the
Hudson River via Oswego and the Mo-
hawk Valley. and that the same route is
practically as favorable as any for the
twenty-ors foot waterway" 1t Is also
pointed out by the commission that this
route is entirely in our owr country.

that at the time the election was held

1t is. therefore, absolutely null and void.
They further ask permission to file
charges against the private and political

Complaint was made before Probate
Judge Rood Nixon Thursday against
Alonzo Chidester. boy thirteen years
of age. whose home is on the West
Side. Assault and battery was the
charge against him. the offense being
committed on the pontoon brodge,
where young Chidester engaged in a
fight with another boy.
The examination developed the fact
that the boy was of a pugnacious dis
position and the boys on the West Side
stood in awe of him. Rev. Mr.. Coil
OF the Board of County Visitors, was
present at the hearing and made plea
for the boy, promising to look after
him and have him mend his ways
without going to the Reform School
Judge Nixon suspended sentence. upon
the boys good behavior and he was
released.

SUICIDE.
John Friedel, Of Newport township,
Takes His Own Life, Early
Thursday Morning,

John Frledel, whose home was at
Newells Run, in Newport township.
committed suicide between five and six
o'clock Thursday morning by shooting
himself in the heart with double
barreled shotgun. He was the son OF
AndrewtF'riedel, and being single liv-
ed with his father.
Early in the morning he and his
father arose and after eating break
fast the father went to the barn to
milk the cows, leaving John in the
house. Shortly afterward the father
heard the report of gun and hurry
ing to the house found his son lying
on the floor in a pool of blood. The
contents of the gun had taken effect in
his heart and he had died almost in
stantly. %
The shotgun was lying on the floor
and in the dead mans hand was a
stick, showing that he had placed the
gun against his body and operated the
trigger with the stick.
The neighbors we're summoned, but
could be Of no service, as death had
resulted instantaneously.
John Friedel was about thirty-flve
years of age and had been in bad
health for the past few years. This
was probably the only cause of his
rash act, as the family are in pros
porous circumstances and John had no
other trouble to worry him.
He is brother of Miss Lizzie Frie-
del, whose unsuccessful attempt to
commit suicide by cutting her throat
with a razor several weeks ago will be
remembered by readers of the Leader.
The father and sister survive him.
