TO SUE ROCK ISLAND.
War Department focuses Railroad
of Obstructing the KazC.

Washington. Feb. I.-secretary Taft and General
Mackenzie, chief of engineers. to-day presented the
case of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Rail-
road Company for alleged violation of the pro-
visions of the River and Harbor act approved in
March, 1885. for the protection of the navigable
waters of the United States. to Attorney General
Moody for procedure under the statute.
The proceeding is a test case. and results from
the action of the railroad company in reconstruct
ing its bridge across the Kaw River at Kansas
City. thereby obstructing the navigation of that
stream. In the great food OF 1903 about seventeen
bridges at Kansas City were washed away badly
damaged, and 1t has been represented to the War
Department that the rebuilding of these bridges is
menace to the city. their presence is likely to
result in damage and disaster in any serious rising
of the river. The interests opposed TO the recon-
struction of the bridges made a case against the
Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and showed that
the roads original bridge had been built withou.
authority of law. The statute provides that any
corporation convicted of obstructing a navgable
stream shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor and
punished by fine of not exceeding s25O. in the
case Of a person, by Imprisonment not exceeding
year. or by both fine and Imprisonment. in the
discretion OF the court, Provision is also made for
the removal of such structures through injunction
proceedings instituted by the Attorney General.
