days ago, at which Congressman Bede
was present upon invitation, it was re-
solved that congress be asked to con-
struct and operate a cutoff canal from
Waldeck to Pine Knoll or from Rice
River to Pine Knoll as may be deter
mined, as part of the reservoir system,
for the purpose Of carrying away the sur
plus water and preventing a flood Of the
big bend country in time of high water
and for the further purpose of getting
water from the upper reservoirs to the
lower river couple of days quicker than
by the present winding course.
The meeting was wide open and no one
advocated the abandoning of the system.
But another dam is being advocated here
for the mouth of Prairie river for the pur-
poses of creating another reservoir In the
lakes above and for controlling the dis
charge of this stream, which at times is
SO great that it counteracts the flow of
the Mississippi into which it empties and
backs up the current for a considerable
distance.
These are facts and should be known,
to correct the mistaken idea that Aitkin
county is "agin' the government" the
manufacturing interests and the cause of
navigation.
In fact the reservoir system is all that
has made it possible to maintain reliable
navigation service between this place and
Grand Rapids all summer.
But what Aitkin does ask in connection
| with the proposed canal is that the system
be managed SO that needless damage to
crops be avoided and a stop be put to
| 'the farmers be damned policy of con-
| trolling the water just so the corporations
are satisfied.
| And that's fair demand.

INVENTOR IS PLEASED
DR.. M. A. Couney Talks Of the Baby In
cubator Work at Wonderland.

pr. Martin A. Couney, inventor of the
infant incubator and president Of the
Incubator Society Of the World, of
which the institute at Wonderland park
is branch, is in the city today. Prior
to his invention, DR.. Couney was Ber-
I'm physician. who made a speciality of
obstetrics. After testing the incubator
in his private practice he offered it to
the public and next placed it oneex-
hl6ltlon at the Berlin exposition.
DR.. Couney's visit was occasioned by
his desire to personally see the mite Of
humanity that came to the Minneap-
oils institute last Tuesday, which
weighs but a pound and five ounces.
There is case at the Wonderland
incubator institute that interests me
even more,' said Mr.. Couney today.
cit is the one that is called the 'blue
baby because of it's defective heart
action. In the past fifteen years I have
personally attended 1900 babies, either
weakly or immaturely born, and this is

met. ~

FIVE WINDOWS BROKEN
BY A DRUNKEN MAN

William Flynn, well known to the po-
lice, had a good time initiating the mys-
FERROUS window smasher last night, and
before the police caught him he had
broken five windows in the new Bou-
tell building on Fifth street and nearly
killed himself.
Flynn smashed window in the door
and crawling into the store made his
way to the windows opening on the
alley. He smashed one of these and in
doing so cut an artery in his wrist. He
then crawled out Of the building and
attacked the other alley windows. when
he was taken in charge by Detective
Louis Hansen, who happened along at
that time.
He was taken to the city hospital, and
will be arraigned in court tomorrow on
a charge of disorderly conduct. Flynn
formerly worked for the Boutell COM
pany, and last night be became intoxi-
Gated imagining for q while that he
had a grudge against the firm. te
The fact that the windows were brok-
en- and that one Of the carpenters found
several matches in pile, of shavings
near the elevator led to the belief at
first that an attempt had been made to
fire the building. The matches are now
thought to have been dropped by work

Last Years Mile Record Broken Three

A special from Ormond-Daytona Beach,

have seemed almost incredible was made
yesterday on the tide-ieveled margin of the
sea. Three times the Vanderbilt mile mark
of 80 seconds was shattered, the record
firally being placed at "a LIS seconds a rate
OF about 105 miles an hour
This extraordinary speed was accom-
plished by II. l.. Bowden of Boston. in a re-
constructed car of 12o horse power. Only a
few minutes before A. Macdonald, in a 90
horsepower car. had gone the distance in
"a IS seconds. and was hailed as the sue
eessor of w. X. Vanderbilt as king of the
beach until deposed by the American.
The first cut in the record had been made
by Louis s. Ross in a 20-horse-power steam
machine of his own construction. his time
being IS seconds, These figures We're COM
piled in one-mile trials.
Louis Ross, after being robbed of open
honors, showed his capacity for record work

THE ADMINISTRATIONS PURPOSE
Approval of San Domingo Agreement
Was to Be Sought From Senate.

1t is stated by authority that it is and
has been the purpose of the administration.
before taking any action toward carrying
out the agreement just concluded with San
Domingo, to submit such agreement or
protocol to the United States Senate for
its approval.
Commander Dillingham; of the navy is I'M
derstood to have sailed yesterday from San
Domingo City for home. He will come by
way of Cuba, bringing with him the text
of the agreement. Thus far the State De-
partment has had only telegraphic alb
stract from United States Minister Dawson
of that document, which was not nearly
as full of details as the press report from
San Domingo.
1t is obviously impossible, therefore, for
the San dominican agreement to come be-
fore the Senate through the action of the
administration for at least week. 1t is
explained that the only reason why any
statement was made by the department
relative to its scope was based on an APP
prehension that the agreement itself would
be misunderstood by the public, which 1t
was feared would not clearly understand
the causes which led up to 1t and the limi-
tations embodied In the document upon the
relations between the United States and
San Domingo.

year, arrived from Palm Beach in time to
compete in the events in which he was
scheduled. Though he drove his new 90
horsepower machine, he figured among the
''also rams" in two of his three starts in the
Dewar cup event and finished last in his
heat.
In the time trials he could do no better
than AZ 3-5 seconds. being eighth in point of
time in a list of sixteen competitors. Mr..
Vanderbilt somewhat redeemed his reputa-
ton in the first heat of the mile Corinthian
race for amateur drivers by a neck-and-
neck finish with E. r. Thomas, who made
his debut as a race driver in machine of
the same make and power as Mr.. Wander
bits
A third competitor in this heat was 3. NJ
Stanley, jr., of Newark. N. J., In a car
which, as the property last year of Wander
bilt. established the former record of 80 Sec
onds. He came in few yards behind yes
terday.
The only other close finish besides that of
Vanderbilt and Thomas was in the first
heat of the Dewar cup event. at one mile.
In this two wonderful speed machines of
two continents fought every inch of ground
and America scored over Europe by two
fifths of a second. A. c. Macdonald in the
six-cylinder English automobile, possibly
the fastest car ever brought from abroad,
and Louis Ross, from Boston, were the con-
tenders.

BEFORE CANAL COMMITTEE.
Secretary Taft Tells Of Legislation
Needed for Waterway.

Secretary Taft was heard yesterday by
the Senate committee On interoceanic
canals on the subject Of legislation needed
by the government to. carry out the plans
for the completion of the. great waterway.
The meeting is one or series of inquiries
to be conducted by subcommittee before
a report is made and bfil reported. All
of the members of the committee were in
vited to hear Secretary Taft Senator Plat
of New York presided. The subcommittee
meetings will be presided over by Senator
kittredge. hsfsa-a6
The Secretary followed the line of his re-
port to Congress, but spoke particularly of
the need for bills authorizing the con-
domination of outstanding, stock in the
Panama railway. and to permit the gov
ernment to obtain absolute control of the
railway.
The attention of the committee was called
to the fact that the Panama canal commits
sion is now proceeding. with the work on
the isthmus under authority given to the
President to prescribe laws, but that this
authority will expire on March 4. and 1t Is
necessary for Congress to pass the required
legislation before that date.
