GEN. ERNST SELECTED
OF INTERNATIONAL
| WATERWAY COMMISSION.
ORGANIZATION Effected This Morning
Hitch on the st. Johns River
Controversy.

A serious hitch has occurred in the pre-
liminary arrangements for the considera-
ton of questions to be presented to the In
ternational Waterway Commission. a body
created by act of Congress and composed
of three representatives from the United
States and three Representatives of the Do
are Gen. o H. Ernst. Corps of Engineers.
U. s. A; Mr.. George Clinton. of Buffalo.
and Prof. G. s. Williams Of Ann Arbor.
The Canadian commissioners are Messrs.

All these gentlemen are in thiss city and
held their first meeting in the Mills build
ing annex today. The Canadian commits

OIL Sanizati ton was effected by the election of
Gen. Ernst as chairman Of the meeting.
The entire session was devoted TO the con-
sidera ton of program of subjects 10 be
considered by the joint commission.
question arose before the commission
as to whether the disputes which have
arisen regarding the alleged distractions
In Maine to the navigation of the st. John S
river shall be considered by the commits
sion. The Canadian commissioners con-
tend that this question is clearly included
within the scope of the law which makes it
the duty OF the commission Ito investigate
and report upon the conditions and uses of
the waters adjacent to the boundary line
between the United States and Canada"
That contention is opposed by the Amer
lean commissioners, who want the ques-
ton made the subject of separate and in
dependent investigation.
Until the question of the inclusion of the
st. Johns river in the scope of the commits
s1on's inquiry has been decided, none of the
deliberations can be more than tentative
for the Canadians insistence that this river
shall be included is firm, and they are act
Ing under instructions from their govern
ment. That point will be finally decided
when Secretary Taft returns TO Washington
early next week Although Attorney Gem
eral Moody has rendered an opinion upon
the point, Secretary Taft has not acted
upon it, and before doing so will make a
thorough study of the act of Congress pro-
viding for the appointment of a commits
sion.
The entire commission today called on
Acting Secretary Loomis.

byterian Assembly.

WINONA LAKE, Ind, May 25.-The gen.
eral assembly of the Presbyterian Church
today took up consideration of the affairs
of the young peoples societies with espe-
cial reference to the problems Of how to
better stimulate their work and keep their
funds more directly in Presbyterian chan
nels The committee report showed that
only 135 presbyteries had made reports,
and the numerical strength Of the young
peoples organizations could not be given.
The report urges that some step be taken
to awaken interest in these societies
The report said that instead OF with
drawing the societies from the general
Christian Endeavor movement that organ
ization should be encouraged. A reorgani-
cation and the selection of an active min
lister for general secretary were recon-
mended. this secretary to have a salary be-
tween 5000 and 5000. to be paid by the
board Of publication and Sabbath school

in various Presbyterian societies who last
year gave S1S4 600 to the church work. He
urged the concentration of subordinate de-
partments into one organization

secretary and to the amount of salary
recommended by the committee developed

pie On the suggestion of John II. Converse

ton board, the question Of the secretary
ship was referred to the board.
