The members Of the Cleveland,
O., Chamber Of Commerce, who
are making trade extension tour
of a portion of the Ohio Valley,
arrived in the city this morning
at about II o'clock. The party is
travelling in a special suite of cars
and drawn by special engine.
The visitors were met at the Wells
street crossing by anumber of our
prominent business men and pri-
vate citizens of the city. and given
a cordial welcome. They were
escorted to points of interest in
different parts o fthe city, and
Notwithstanding the visit of the
distinguished delegation being
very brief, their sojourn was made
pleasant and profitable. Only one
hour was consumed here, at the eX-
piration of which the special train
departed for st. Marys, the next
point scheduled to stop.

livered brief address welcoming

marks of Mr.. Church, which fol-
in part were both appropriate and

and its tributaries merely with the
hope of developing a commerce,
while the commerce of the Ohio
was developed years ago and has
steadily increased despite all the
difficulties with which river men
have had to contend. If the
friends of the Ohio river had been
as active and insistent as those Of
the Cumberland and had met with
equal success, $70,00O,0OO would
have been appropriated by this
time or enough to complete the
entire system of dams necessary
to give nine foot stage from
Pittsburgh to Cairo"
Mr.. Acheson also called atten-
tlOn TO some recent statistics COM
piled by the director Of the geo.
logical survey which show the
area Of the Pittsburg coal bed TO
be about $500 miles, or 100000
acres. Every acre of this coal, in
Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Vir-
ginia is tributary to the Ohio
river. If it We're all mined and
shipped down the river it would
furnish a tonnage equal to that
of last year for the next 1000
years.
In the opinion of Mr.. Acheson,it
will not be possible to provide for
the Ohio as it should be provided
for unless n more liberal policy in
regard to the river improvements
is adopted. For this reason he
heartily favors the plan of hold
ing "A national water ways con-
ventiOn at the National Capitol
about the time the next session
Of Congress cOnvenes. The OBJ
ject of this convention is to create
public sentiment in favor Of an
nual appropriations on liberal
scale for the rivers and harbOrs OF

Congressman Acheson returned
to Washington Saturday night
from the trip down the Ohio river
to Cairo under the auspices of
the Ohio River Improvement as
ISOLATION. When seen at his res
idence Congressman AchesOn said
he believed that the trip was one
of the most important that had
been made during the 10 years
that he had been a member of the
rivers and harbers committee and
would have far reaching effect.
"The members of the commit
tee," said he, "were astOnished at
the immense commerce of the
Ohio. In 1902 it had a tonnage of
14,000,0 900, equal to that of the
wOrld-famous Suez canal. Their
attention was also forcibly direct
ed to the fact that the Ohio has
not been nearly so well treated,
considering its commerce, as many
other rivers of the country. |
believe the appropriations should
bear some relative proportion to
the tonnage. In round numbers
20,000,000 have been apprOpri-
ated to the Ohio since 1927,
100000 for general Improvement,
dredging, revetting. etc, and$l3,
000,0 for locks and dams. This
is less than $3.50 per ton. The st.
Johns river in Florida with a ton
mage of 1,052,056. has received
1922, 900 or at the rate Of $3.25
a ton; the James river, Virginia,
with a tonnage of COS. $50, has re-
ceived $2,372, 500, or nearly $4
per ton; the Cumberland river,
Tennessee, with a tonnage of COL, :
900, has received 1896, ,420.15, or
over $3.50 per ton. More than
this $3,716,000have been expended
on the Black Warrior, of Alabama,

Hearst and Mcclellan
 Have AlabamA KinSfOlk
BY WILL T. SHEEHAdN.

Thousands and thousands of newspa- per readers of Alabama followed the memorable contest for Mayor of New York between George B. Mcclellan and William R. Hearst, and thousands and thousands of them are watching every step in the contest brought by Hearst to wipe out the very narrow plurality of Mcclellan. And yet there are but few of those newspaper readers who know that the two men engaged in the remarkable contest for one of the great est elective offices In the world have a number of relatives who live in Ala bana and who have lived in this State all their lives.
 It is nevertheless true that both Hearst and Mcclellan have Alabama kinsfolk. living in the counties of Dal- las. Wilcox and Monroe, and they are among the best people of Middle Ala bama The relationship of George B. Mcclellan to the prominent English family of Monroe County has number of times been noted and written of in Alabama papers, but the kinship be- tween the Hearsts of Dallas and Wilcox counties has created no such general comment and notice. Still the Ala bama Hearsts and William R. Hearst, who by means of his millions and his peculiar talents has become in recent weeks prominent figure in the politf- cal affairs of the country, sprung from the same North Carolina family. They trace their origin to common ancestor of North Carolina and the ancestor is only two or three generations back. One of the North Carolina Hearsts came to Alabama and became Black Belt planter. Another was a forty miner, struck gold and became the fa- nous millionaire and Senator from Cal ifornia, the father of William R.

Snow Hill, Wilcox County, bears the name of William, which has become so identified with the Hearst family. Zeb Hearst, leading citizen of Carlowville, in Dallas County, is perhaps even closer connected to the contestant for the mayoraIty of New York.
 One branch of the English family Is closely related to the present Mayor of New York and the successful candi- date for reelection. The wife of cap- tain Tom English. distinguished cit- izen of Monroe County, was a sister of Gen. George B. Mcclellan, and there fore the aunt of Mayor George B. Me- Clellan of New York city. She died some three or four years ago, Beloved ard esteemed by all who knew her.
 The romance wnich brought her South as the wife of a gallant young South erner was not unusual in the days be- fore the war. Her father was a mem- Der of the faculty of famous medical college of Philadelphia. To that col- lege went Thomas English the scion of wealthy Alabama family.
