To Prevent Seasickness.

According 20 German papers forwarded
by Consul General Guenther of Frankfort,
Mr. Otto Schlick OF Hamburg has invented
an appliance which reduces the rolling OF
ships to a minimum. He calls 1t "Schiffs-
kreisel" ship tOp). It Is stated that IL it
fills expectations it will prove OF great i'm
portance, not only that seasickness would
be done away with. but the efficiency IF
warships would be greatly enhanced as the
hitting ability would be vastly increased.
Much interest appears to be manifested in
this invention In shipbuilding circles. Re-
Gently larger experiments with this top

American line, in the harbor of Hamburg.
before a company of interested parties. Into
the old torpedo-boat Seebaer chip top
had been built into the boat amidships. This
top has turbine paddles and Is DO con-
structed that it can make simultaneously
rotating anad pendulous motions. By thu
combined motion the rolling Of the ship
is to be averted. The apparatus was set
in motion by steam power. making $500
revolutions per minute. and the result is
said to have been such as to justify the
belief that 1t would accomplish what u

Efforts to Secure an international

for the diversion OF these waters until the
international waterway commission has col

to regulate the disposition of the water.
Rival power companies on each side of the
river are trying to extend their plants. and
the commission has pointed out to the War
Department that the future navigation OF
this great artery of commerce may be seri-

are adopted that shall be binding upon both

The acceptance Of the commissions rec

FRENCH DESIRES IN MOROCCO.
Premier Rouvier's Notable Address In
Chamber Of Deputies.


PARIS, December 16.-The chamber OF

ment In the German reichstag Is In the na-
ture of an answer and an announcement OF
the governments position. NJ. Rouvier's
statement will come at the close of the
days session.
NJ Rouvier's declaration proved very

sires of France in Morocco. saying:
The propositions of our minister to Mo-
rocco never tended toward the establish
ment of situation similar to that exist
ing in Tunis. He never invoked the man.

is our special position which we MAIN
tanned and which now will be presented
at the conference. This is based upon the
geographical contiguity Of Algeria and
Frances position as a great Mussulman
power. We desire liberal regime in Mo-
rocco, assuring commercial treatment for
all the powers. France merely wishes to
conscientiously safeguard her rights and
retain the full exercise of her liberty"
The premier's declaration was enthuSi-
astically received
Former Premier Ribot, leader of the
opposition, declared that all parties

PRESIDENTS VIEWS.
Warmly Approves Of Proposed School
of Correction.

The delegates to the conference here on
the matter of interstate schools for depend
ent and delinquent children called at the
White House to see President Roosevelt yes
terday. He expressed himself as much in
terested in their work, and during the
course of their visit said:
about all I can say to you Is to ex-
press my very hearty sympathy with and
belief in your purpose. The time of my
life when I was brought into closest touch
with conditions similar to those which you
are trying to remedy. was while l was po-
hce commissioner In New York city. AT
that time my closest friend and associate
in all my work was Mr.. Jacob Riis, with
whose books and writings you are all more
or less familiar. I was even more M
pressed than 1 have been all along, ever
since 1 have been grown up, with the fact
that If you are going to do anything per-
manent for the average man You have got
to begin before he is a man. The olde-
man is almost impossible to reform.
''Of course, there are exceptional fndi-
yidualS-men who have been completely
changed. not only after they have reached
years of manhood, but after very advanced
periods of life But, speaking generally,
the chance Of success lies in working with
the boy and not with the man.
THAT applies peculiarly to those boys
who tend to drift off into courses which
mean that unless they are checked they
will be formidable additions to the criminal
eminently worth while to try to prevent
those boys becoming criminals, to try to
prevent their being menaces to and ey-
penses and sores in society. while there
is chance of reforming them.

people interested In Colorado in their 1uve-

I EXPRESSED, as / express to you, my very
earnest belief in their work, and told them

ARGUING FOB DAMAGES.
Local Suit Heard in United States Su-
preme Court.

7
preme Court.
The case of Marian ]. Looney. administra-
trix of the estate of James Looney. against
the Metropolitan Railroad Company Of this
city. was called for argument yesterday IN
the Supreme Court of the United States.
This action was originally instituted to re-
cover damages for the death OF James
Looney. in 1901. who was then an employe
of the Great Falls Railway Company. oper-
ating as pitman in the pillow pit at 38th
street and Prospect avenue. His duties
were to change the motive power of the
through cars from Washington to CABIN
John from the underground to the overhead
system, and 1t was while operating the ma
chinery in the pit on the date mentioned
that Looney lost his life while handling the
electrical apparatus.
The questions of law raised In the case
were interesting, as they involved the Well
known doctrine Of fellow-servant. Coun-
sci for plaintiff commended that the doctrine
did not apply, as the accident resulted
from the negligence of the crew OF the
Metropolitan car which passed over the pit
while Looney was an employe of the Great
Falls Company This contention was OPP
posed by the defendant, contending that
the Metropolitan car became Great Fails
car upon it's arrival at the pit by reason OF
being on the Great Falls roadbed. and the
apportionment of the receipts In favor OF
the Great Falls road, and payment OF the
employees of the said car out Of the funds
Of the Great Falls Railway Company.
Mr. Maurice D. Rosenberg of the local
bar opened the argument in behalf OF the
plaintiff in error. Mr.. ]. j. Darlington ap-
peared In behalf Of the defendant In error
and Mr.. Alexander Wolf closed for plaintiff
In error.
The legal questions involved are Of an In
teresting nature, and the decision of the
Supreme Court Is eagerly looked for.

Resumed.

Tobacco interests were represented today
at the ways and means committee hearing
on the Philippine tariff. j. w. Upston
spoke for the New York tobacco growers,
and E. N. Phelps Of Windsor. Conn., pro-
tested on behalf of the Connecticut valley
tobacco raisers against any changes J. H.
Pierce Of Connecticut also spoke against
reduction of duty on Philippine tobacco
and predicted that the proposed change
would ruin the tobacco interests in New
England. All these speakers said the
Philippines are beginning to produce ex-
cellent Hight wrappers. which compared
favorabiy with Sumatra wrappers, and
threaten to be dangerous competition for
American wrappers.
J. H. Waxelbaum of New York and Geor-
gia spoke for Florida and Georgia growers,
saying that the wrapper-growing Industry
of those states could not continue under re-
duced tariff schedules. He said the Dutch
in Sumatra are ready to transfer their In
terests to the Philippines and would be the
chief benefciaries of lower duty.
G. w. Perkins, president OF the Cigar
makers Union, presented the protest of
organized labor against tariff reductions
Frank Mccoy of New York protested on
behalf of cigar manufacturers. j. A.
Smith Of New York and D. A. Shaw of

And just behind the cushion upon which
