Make Good for Some Time.


Washington. Aug S-Secretary
Wilson Of the agricultural depart

have any lean crop years FOR several
years To come.
I've just been thinking about your
state" said the secretary OF agricul-
ture as a Kansas man e1lteied his Of
ice II never saw such fine crops
such fine prospects The ground is
thoroughly soaked and that means
that you are not going to have any
crop failures for several years to
come
How many years
II won't be definite. but you can
safely count on several The nature
II the Kansas soil is such that it re-
tains the moisture Even If you
should not have good rains for sew
eraI seasons there would be no hot
winds or total failures Good crops
and bad crops run in cycles and you'll
nave some bad crops by and by. but
now you're all right Why. even in
iowa we have had almost total crop
failures and Iowa and Kansas are
very much alike"

TRAFFIC CONDITIONS SOUTH.
Reported Worst Ever Known-Many
Wires Are Down.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, February 14.-East
Tennessee is experiencing the coolest
weather on record with two exceptions.
This morning at 6 o'clock the official OBJ
servation here was 0S below zero. the
minimum since February IA, 1899, when
10 below zero was registered. The low
est local record is 16 below zero, on jan
uary g. 1884. This morning at 10 o'clock
the conditions had improved but little,
the temperature then being zero, with
slight prospects of an animated rise to-
day.
According to railroad officials traffic
conditions are the worst ever known
here. All freight and passenger traffic is
delayed for many hours. Suffering among
the people here is the worst in many
years. Knoxville was cut off from COM
munication with the outside world for
several hours last night and this morn
ing, telegraph and telephone wires be-
ing down. An Associated Press wire was
rigged up today, reaching Washington
through the Carolinas and Virginia.
ATLANTA, Ga, February 14-The gov
ernment thermometer here registered 9
degrees above zero at an early hour to-
day, the lowest point reached in six
years. The sky is clear and the tempera-
ture is rising slowly. The damage to
wires caused by the storms of last week
is being repaired rapidly and communica-
tion with the outside is better than for
ten days.

O'Clock today. The temperature grew stead
lily warmer, however, as-the day passed.
All of lower Michigan experienced intense
cold last night. AT Grand Rapids the tenn
perature at one time was - below at
Baldwin 80 below. at Iudington 30 below,
at Saginaw below, while Alpena, one
hundred miles north of Saginaw, reported 4
above zero.
Weather in the upper peninsula was not
severe as in the lower. At Marquette
and Houghton it was zero today. at the
500 below and at Escanaba 6 below.
There was considerable suffering among
the poor in Detroit and otEer cities, but no
acute distress has been reported.
The extreme cold following after the
heavy snow of Sunday and Sunday night
has made trains in all directions late. The
Michigan CentraPs eastern trains are being
greatly delayed by cold and storm near
Buffalo. Michigan Central trains both east
and west bound are from five to six hours
late today Pere Marquette trains are from
two to five hours late, Grand Trunk trains
from one to two hours late.
The Wabash has been compelled by ice in
the river to abandon ferrying passenger
trains across and to send the passengers
over o1 the passenger ferries and make up
new trains on the opposite side. By using
the Grand Trunk ferries and terminals the
Wabash reports that freight congestion is
being avoided and traffic being moved
fairly well. The other roads are not having
trouble with tn ice in the river.

NO ADDITIONAL WATERSHED
NEEDED AT PRESENT.

The Secretary of War has sent to Senator
Gallinger report by Col Smith S. Leach,
corps of engineers, on the amendment to
the sundry civil bill proposed by Senator
Stewart making an appropriation to enable
the Secretary of War to ascertain whether
there is a watershed from which supply
of pure water could be obtained for the
District of Columbia provided the govern
ment should become the sole owner of such
watershed and should protect and prevent
any occupation of it. Col Leach states
that the cost of such a watershed would
undoubtedly be very great. He says:
THE present consumption of water in the
District is about 100000 gallons a day,
which is the maximum capacity of the
present aqueduct The United States has
already purchased and paid for the right
to take 75,OO0O00 gallons day additional
at Great Falls making a total water right
now owned by the United States of 15O,-
100000 gallons day, or about one-fifth of
the established low-water flow of the river.
TO double the supply available it is nec-
essary only to duplicate the present aque-
duct capacity, while to obtain supply of
150,O0O.OO0 gallons a day from any other
source must involve an enormous expendi-
ture. Reasons of economy therefore strong
ly impel adherence to the present source
of supply.
'The Potomac is not highly polluted

held III some quarters. AS compared with
other streams of its class, analysis shows
its water to be much above the average in

RAILWAY RATE BILL CRITICISED
Daniel Davenport Discusses the House
Measure

When the hearing on railroad rates be-
fore the senate committee on interstate
commerce was resumed today Daniel Dav-
export of Bridgeport, Conn, speaking on
behalf of an organization of holders OF
railway securities, confined his discussion to
the Esch-Townsend bill. The concentration
of his remarks on the bill before the COM
mittee was by direction of Senator Foster
of Louisiana, who said he understood that
this measure was passed by the House In
response to the Presidents latest message
on rate legislation.
Mr.. Davenport said there were constitu-
tional obstacles in the way of carrying out
the views of the President as expressed in
his message, and he read from Supreme
Court decisions in support Of his conten-
ton that judicial powers cannot be con-
ferred on the interstate commerce commits
sion.
Mr.. Davenport did not contend that the
bill conferred judicial powers on the COM
mission, but that legislative powers were
conferred upon the court of transportation
provided for in the BILL with which author
ity the courts have held Congress had no
right to clothe them. Since coming to
Washington, Mr.. Davenport said, he had
learned that the democrats had adopted as
a part of their platform the theory that the
interstate commerce commission should be
given power to fix definite rates.
Senator Foster of Louisiana interrupted,
asking: Haven't you confused that with
the Presidents message?"
We'll. you know when Phaeton tried to
drive the chariot of the sun he found no one
riding with him." replied Mr.. Davenport.
81 think the democrats are trying to ride on
the Presidents chariot
NO; the President is trying to get on our
chariot" said Senator Carmack
We'll, I know he has got out Of mine,'
said Senator Kean.
Senator Cu1lom, who came in late, COM
menting on the fact that Mr.. Davenport had
been before the committee two days. said:
Let US have the discussion confined to the
Esch-Townsend bill. If it is wrong, let US
right it. If it is right let US report the
BILL
Chairman Elkins thought that subject was
a matter for an executive session, but SEN
ator Cullom said he could not see the need
for that any more than for unnecessary de-
lay in reporting the bill in some form.
The hearings will be continued Friday.
