MORECANALS

Projects, Rejected Before,

DIET CHANGES COURSE
Great Rivers to Be Used to
Furnish New Avenues of
Transportation in Empire

BERLIN, Nov. 15.-Emperor Will
liam's extensive canal projects, re-
jected by the Prussian Diet in 1898
and 1901, are to be realized In part
at least. The canal committee of the
Diet, composed of the leaders OF the
parties controlling the Diet, has de-
cided to support the measures for a
canal connecting Hanover with the
Rhine and for using the Weser for
canal from Hamlen downward, pro-
vided Bremen will stand part of the
expense. The canal will use about
sixty miles Of the existing Dortmund
Ems canal and will have two outlets
into the Rhine, one from the present
terminus of the Dortmund Ems canal
to Ruhrort and the second down the
valley of the Lippe to the Weser. The
use of Lippe River for a canal will
also be carried upward to Hamm. The
total length, exclusive of the Weser,
will be 165 miles. The cost will be
about $5,0O0,O0O. The vote on the
Berlin-Stettin canal and other projects
The committees action Is regarded
as insuring the passage Of the meas
ure through the Diet in it's present
form. The bill embraces a center
party amendment, giving the Prussian
Government monopoly Of propulsion
in the canal by tug or electrical mo-
tors running along the shore 1t ap-
pears that this amendment was the
only thing which saved the bill, since
1t renders the measure acceptable to
the part Of the Agrarian element that
hopes to compel the Government TO
keep freight rates high enough to
compete seriously with railroads and
thereby prevent the cheap tranSpor-
tation of agricultural products and a
consequent encroachment Of foreign
grain from the German market.
Baron Won Zedlitz, who was the
leading spirit of the opposition to the
canal bills in 1899 and 1901, IS now
trying to persuade the conservatives
to support the present measure in or
der to. close the breach between them
and the Emperor caused by the re-
lection of those bills.

214S Center Street, Nov. 10.


Despite the fact that the old miracle
play of Professor c. M. Gayley's is to
be produced indoors tomorrow instead
of on the stage of the spacious Greek
Theater at the university, there has
been no diminution of interest in the
production nor any cessation OF de-
mand for tickets. Had the skies re-
mained clear and the sun shone as
usual the Greek Theater would have
been used and Ben Greet's company of
English players would once again have
made that place resound with their
sonorous voices, this time in The Star
of Bethlehem" instead of Hamlet" or
"EVeryman." Harmon Gymnasium Is
to be the scene of the production of the
miracle play. Two performances are
on the programme, one for the after
noon and the other for the evening Of
tomorrow. Rehearsals of the play
were held there to-day by Ben Greet
and his company. They are enthusi-
astic over the lines and the possibilities
for picturesque effects in the situations
devised by Professor Gayley- Their
enthusiasm is shared by Mr.. Greet,
who has arranged to give productions
Of The Star Of Bethlehem" through
out California. following its initial pre-
sentation at the university.
