In May and June, 1905, many distin-
guished scholars, literary men, and
scientists signed the promise, and now
the committee has been permanently
organized under the name of the Sim
plified Spelling Board. Funds ade-
quate for the purpose have been given
by Andrew Carnegie, the justice
thinks, to the amount of $4,000. the
income of which is to be devoted to the
interests of the organization.
Among the members of the board
are E. Benjamin Andrews, chancellor
of the University of Nebraska; David

Report of Committee.

This Commission promptly reported
that if any benefit was to be derived
by legislation, Immediate action was
necessary and outlined a plan which
it believed would have the desired
effect, providing Canada would unite
with this government in curbing tile
greed of promoters and spectators.
The report says, in part: "As step
in that direction we recommend that
legislation be enacted which shall con
tain the following provisions, viz:
THE Secretary of War to be author
lied to grant permits for the diversion
of 2S,5OO cubic feet of water per
second, and no more, from the waters
naturally tributary to Niagara Falls.
All other diversions of
water which is naturally tributary to
Niagara Falls to be prohibited, ex-
cept such as may be required fol
locks in navigation of canals.
The foregoing prohibition to remain
in force two years, and then to b.
come the permanent law of the land
If. in the meantime the Canadian
government shall have enacted legis-
latiun prohibiting the diversion of
water which is naturally tributary to
Niagara Falls in excess of $4,000 cubic
feet per second
