TO SAVE NIAGARA.
Resolutions Of the International Water
way Commission.

Resolutions passed by the International
deep waterway commission. recommending
that no more franchises be granted for TAX
let of Lake Erie, and from st. Mary's river,
the outlet of Lake Superior, have reached
the War Department. Copies of the resolu-
ton will be transmitted to the governors of
New York and Michigan The extent of the
authority of the federal government was
discussed by the members of the commits
sion at their recent session, and the op:n-
ion was expressed that the federal govern
ment had undoubted authority over water
levels of navigable streams and lakes, AL
though the title to the beds of the Nj
agara and St. Mary's rivers might be In Sc
rious doubt. 1t was pointed out that the
national government assumed and took I'M
Lake Michigan when the question was
raised as to the right of the Chicago drain
age commission to take water from Laks
Michigan to drain the city of Chicago to
the south and west and finally to the Mis-
sissippi river. Possibly the point will be
raised that in taking water from Niagara
river below the rapids and at the falls of
the Sauit Ste Marie rapids the levels of
the lakes cannot be affected. and furthed
that the streams from which he water is
taken are not navigable streams, and for
that reason are not under the control of the
federal government. There seems to be no
question about the authority OF the Cana
dian government to regulate the taking of
water from the streams. 1t is stated that
any action of the Canadian government will
be final, and that the regulation will not &C.
pend upon the provincial government of On
tario.

ANDREW CoooAN DEAD.
Former Sailor Who Lost His Eye
sight


Funeral services were held yesterday
morning a O'Clock in st. Patrick's Roman
Catholic Church over the remains of An
drew Coogan. who for many years has been
a familiar figure about the church build
ing. He was totally blind and as this
affection brought with 1t the most abJect
poverty and finally disease, stress of cir
cumstances made him a suppliant for aims.
Andrew Coogan was sixty-five years of
age. In his youth he was a sailor before
the mast In the merchant marine, in which
service the better part of his life was spent.
1t was about twenty years ago that mis-
fortune befel him. One stormy night
while his ship was in the tropics a broken
spar fell to the deck and struck two of
the sailors, killing one instantly, while the
other one, Coogan, received such injuries
as ultimately resulted in the complete loss
OF sight.
Though many charitable Institutions were
open to the now blind sailor, he refused to
enter them expressing great fear of such
places. Instead he elected to trust to the
charity of the passerby on the streets and
avenues of cities. In due course he arrived
in Washington.
OF late his condition is said to have been
pitiabIe. Constant exposure to the elements
and very often a lack of proper sustenance
brought on consumption, which, under the
circumstances, had every means of propa-
cation.
Coogan's late home was in an alley near
the church. where a benevolent old colored
woman gave him such care as her ex-
perience made possible, and was at his bed
side when the end came at o'clock Sun
day morning.
The funeral services consisted of all the
high honors of the church, and the st.
Vincent de Paul Society bore the expense
of the burial. DR.. Stafford preached the
sermon. The palbearers were members of
the ST Vincent de Paul Society.

IN SATAN'S NAME.
Mark Twain Writes Concerning Rocke-
feIler's Missionary Gift.

New York. April 6.-Samuel L. Glenn
ems mark Twain has written a letter
apropos of the gift of 100000 to the
American board of missions by John d.
Rockefeller, which is published in Har-
per's Weekly. Twain signs himself
Satan and addresses the letter to the
editor. The contribution follows:
Let US have done with this frivolous
talk. The American board accepts con-
tributions from me every year; then,
why shouldn't it from Mr. Rockefeller? ?
In all ages three-fourthS of the support
of the great charities has been con-
science money, as my books will show;
then, what becomes of the sting when
that term is applied to Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's gift?
The American boards trade is I'm
anced mainly from the graveyards- Be
quests, you understand. Conscience
money. Confession of an old crime and
deliberate preparation of a new one;
for a dead mans contribution is a rob-
berry of his heirs. Shall the board de-
cline bequests because they stand for
one Of these foffenSes every time, and
generally for both2
A'Allow me to continue The charge
most persistenlly and resentfully and
remorselessly dwelt upon is that Mr..
Rockefeller'S contribution is incurably
tainted by perjury-perjury proved
against him in the courts. 1t makes US
smile-down in my place! Because
there is not a rich man in your vast
city who does not perJure himself every
year before the tax board. They are all
caked with perjury, many layers thick.
Ironclad, so to speak. If there is one
that is not, I desire to acquire him for
my museum, and VIII pay dinosaur
rates VIII you say it is not infraction
of the law, but only annual evasion OF
it? Comfort yourselves with that nice
distinction if you like-for the present.
But by and by, when you arrive. I viii
show you something interesting; a
whole hellful Of evaders! Sometimes a
frank Iawbreaker turns up elsewhere,
but get those others every time
ITO return to my muttons. 1 wish
you to remember that nay rich perjurers
are contributing to the American board
with frequency; it IS money filched
from the sworn off personal tax, there
fore it is the wages of sin: therefore,
it is my money, therefore it is that
contributed it; and finally it is, there
fore, as I have said. since the board
daily accepts contributions from me,
why should 1t decline them from Mr..
Rockefeller, who is as good as I am, let
the courts say what they may

DAVIS TALKS IT OVER.
Discusses Appointments With Friends
and Reporters.

This afternoon a meeting is being. held
at which Mayor-elect Davis and his
friends are said to be fixing upa SLATE"
The people who want jobs are being dis
cussed. and the proper division of spoils
of victory is under consideration.
Included in this meeting are w. F.
Schoch, Councilman c. K Holiday, A.
6. Goodwin, and a number of other peo-
pie who were active in the management
of Mr.. Davis campaign. 1t IS possible
that at this meeting Mr.. Davis will de-
eide upon some appointments to be an
nounced at the Inauguration Friday
night. When asked about the purposes
of the meeting this morning, Mr.. Davis
said:
I'VE are just going to talk over some
of the candidates for places, and see
who is best qualified. I don't know
many of these people, and I must rely
on my friends for information. I may
have some appointments ready by Fri
day night; can't tell about that"
Mr.. Davis has adopted a new and ef-
fective way of getting information
about the people who are candidates
for chief of police. He has called upon
the reporters for the daily papers who
do the police run, and asked them for
suggestions. He says:
L don't know of anybody who is bet
ter qualified to know the real-truth
about people who are candidates for
this office than the newspaper boys who
work right there at the police station
every day A man must be in close
touch with the daily occurrences about
the police headquarters to get a knowl-
edge of the situation which is of value "
There is some talk today to the effect
that Chief StahI can, if he is so dis
posed, retain his grip on the office Of
chief of police under the old soldier
preference law. StahI is an old soldier;
he is in the job; he may take a notion
to compel Davis to get rid of him, If
Davis. gets ready to appoint somebody
else. This would require lawsuit
and a lot Of delay, during which time
Stahl might retain control Of the Office
OF course it is not likely that Chief
! Stahl would attempt to do this but
some people think that the scheme
might be worked successfully. So far
the old soldiers have successfully de-
Tended the law in the courts, and it
would probably be up to Mayor Davis
Iect for the place is better qualified than
| is Stahl. Probably this would not be
hard to do.
Sometimes it is considered proper for
all the people who are in office to ten
der their designations to the incoming
mayor. But this is not going to be done
this year. Most Of the city officials
places, and those who have not made
formal application are hoping to be re-
| appointed.
Mayor Davis has secured a complete
list of all the appointive places which
are to be filled. and is getting down to
the business of his office early.
Election Commissioner Williams is
today working on the bill for election
expenses. The meals for judges and
clerks will cost the city S100.35.

CHARGES AGAINST PARTNER.
cleo d. Burnette of Wellington Wants
$4,000 Damages.

Cleo D. Burnette of Wellington, who
was disbarred from the Sumner county
bar some time ago, today fled IN the
supreme court an appeal in a suit which
he started against his former law part
ner, Charles z. Elliott, for $4,000 dam
ages, but which got thrown out of the
district court in Sumner county without
coming to trial.
In his petition Burnette sets forth
that he and Elliott, who is an Old-time
lawyer. formed a partnership in 1900,
at which time Burnette claims to have
been a young man of good habits. he
says that Elliott kept in their law oftlce
a mixture of morphine, opium ana
whisky, which he got Burnette to drink
ing, and that as result Burnette be-
came mentally distempered and ply
sically incapacitated" and was not re-
sponsible for what he did
Burnette claims that a conspiracy
was set up to ruin him, that he got mix
ed up in various litigation and was
persuaded to sign documents on the ad-
vice os Elliott, which led to disbarment
proceedings against him. lie claims he
relied on the friendship and advice OF
Elliott and employed Elliott as his at
torney in the disbarment proceedings,
but that Elliott let the case go by de-
fault. As a result he asked for $4,000
damag ges against Elliott, but the court
threw the case out on an objection by
EIliott's attorney to the introduction OF
evidence on the ground that the facts
alleged did not constitute a cause Of
action. Now the supreme court is ask
ed to pass on it.
