EXTENSIVE DREDGING
IN POTOMAC PLANNED
Three Sections of River to
Be Improved.
BIDS FOR WORK INVITED
Shoals in Washington Channel to Be
Remedied-Bar to Be Removed on
Virginia Flats.
BIDS FOR WORK INVITED

Extensive plans have been prepared hy
the Engineers Office of the Army for
dredging the Potomac. whose channels
have been shoaling rapidly lately. Bids
for this work have been asked for and
will be opened the last of this month
Dredging Will be conducted in three
different sections OF the river, and will
be on a large scale. The greater part
of the dredging is TO be done In the Vlr-
ginia Channel above the Long Bridge
At this point there is a bar which will
require the removal of about 800, 900
cubic yards of soil. The channel to be
cut through the bar will be twenty -one
feet deep at low tide, and will be 400
feet wide. The length of the proposed
channel TO be cut is $500 feet, and from
one to eight feet in depth of deposit
must be cut away.
Bar to Be Removed.
That portion OF the Virginia channel
cut through the Virginia fats also comes
in for share In the proposed dredging,
and it is estimated that about 10000
cubic yards of deposit will be taken out
Ahc WIN Oi NAAS pOAAAOA VIII bt AAOAh
Easby's Point down stream about 2.400
feet. The fats between the sea wall OF
Potomac Park and the channel of the
river are TO be dredged TO a depth Of
feet at low tide. 1t is Thought that
the cutting to be done on this portion
will be from l to feet.
The third portion of the proposed
dredging is To be done In the Washing
ton channel. and Is perhaps of more d.
rect interest to local boatmen than any
other portion of the work The specifi-
cations call for twenty-one feet depth In
the completed channel. and a width OF
400 feet. The length of the channel to
be dredged is about 1000 feet. and the
actual cutting between one and seven
feet in depth. The approximate amount
CT dredging to be done in the Washing
ton channel Will be about $4,000 cubic
yards.
The Washington channel has been re-
dredged before, and az that time 1t was
thought that the work would prove per-
manent. 1t seems, however. that the
unexpected has happened, and that ii
will be necessary to do further dredging.
The recent heavy rains have done much
to cause this. as large and troublesome
deposits of dirt and silt have caused a
shoal which It Will be necessary to re-
move.

.ELWOOD'S UTTERANCES

Enemies Hold Him Responsible for

tcrian Church this afternoon.
The night following the Rev. MIR. Ell
woods sermon White was taken from
prison by a mob and burned at the
stake.
The session promises TO be a stormy
one. Elwood and his friends assert that
the whole thing is spite work on the
part Of certain persons because Of Ell
woods antagonistic movement against
bribery. State Clerk Milligan scouts
this idea. but Elwood purposes to sift
the whole matter.
The Elwood people Will oppose the
proposition TO hold the investigation
behind closed doors. Many of the min
listers and elders are in favor of re-
report at the October session Of the
PresJytery.
This conciliatory action does not suit
Elwood and his friends. They say that
he is backed by his church and people
in general
Fight fair and above board" is the
cry Of Elwood. He scorns the idea Of
his opponents calling a special session
for effect and now trying TO shirk the
responsibilities. Groups OF ministers
and elders are gathered about the
church today discussing the situation.

CONVICTED IN OHIO
COnfessedtO Numbering Five
Women.
EXPECTED TO ESCAPE DEATH
jury Brings No Recommendation for
Mercy and Discards the In
sanity Theory.

HAMILTON. Ohio. July 1s.-A verdict
OF murder in the first degree without
recommendation of mercy, which means
death in the electric chair, was brought
in by the Jury In the Stranger" Knapp
case at 1885 this morning. The jury had
been out since sos last evening. Knapp
paled visibly when he heard his doom.
The verdict was a complete surprise
to him, as he felt sure he would not
get death sentence. Only yesterday be
bet twenty-five cents with fellow 9ris-
.oner at the jail that he would escape the
death sentence.
Stranger of Five Women.
Alfred A. Knapp, self-confessed strang-
Ter OF five women and girls. had a career
OF crime almost without a parallel He
spent two-thirds of his life In peniten-
tiaries and jails, but for four or five foul
murders. TO which he afterward con-
fessed. he had gone scot free and un-
suspected until a few unguarded words
placed the sleuths Of the law upon him.
For years he had been stranger, he
admitted, pouncing upon innocent chill
-dren and his wives alike. choking them
TO death. He was twice in State prison
for fendish assaults upon women, it Is
known Since early childhood he has
been degenerate.
A Horrible ession.
On February 26. Knapp made the fol-
lowing written confessions:
"on June 81. 1894. 1 killed Emma Lit
tIeman in q lumber yard on Gest Street
in Cincinnati, and on August /. 1884.
killed May Eckert. on Walnut Street.
opposite the Y. NJ c. A. building. in

truth"
The plea OF the defense was insanity
and Knapp's lawyers were surprised
when the jury brought in first degree

CENTS AND NICKELS
FOR PACIFIC SLOPE
Unusual RequisitiOn Made
From San Francisco.
Mr.. ROBERTS DUMFOUNDED
United States Treasurer Says 1t Is First
Request of the Kind Since Span
ish-American War.

United States Treasurer Roberts today
received a requisItion from the sub
treasury at San Francisco for $1,000 in
nickels and $1,000 in one-cent pieces.
From any part of the country except the
Pacific Coast this demand would not have
attracted more than passing notice. In
California, however, the use of coins of
the small denominations, particularly
nickels and one-cent pieces, is practi-
cally unknown.
The requisition received today is the
first of its kind in the history of MIR.
Roberts long career in the Treasury.
No information was obtainable here as
to the cause of the demand but Mr.
Roberts believes that the big depart
ment stores are directly responsible
He predicts that newspapers from the
Coast will contain advertisements OF
special sales on articles, such as the big
Eastern and middle West stores are ac-
customed to listing at prices ending in
odd cents.
Niciels Unknown.
Pennies and nickels are as scarce On
the Pacific Coast as are silver dollars
in the District of Columbia. Nickels
are practically unknown. though there
have been few one-cent pieces in circu-
Iation since the Spanish-American war.
A requisition for a small supply of
one-cent pieces was made by the San
Francisco subtreasury at the time when
