TALKED DEEP WATERWAY
Board of Engineers Listens to Men
Who Advocate the Chicago-St.
Louis Scheme

st. Louis, Nov. 2S.-The board Of
engineers Of the river and harbor com
mittee heard several gentlemen give
reasons why a deep waterway should
be dug between Chicago and st. Louis
All of the speakers had much to tell
Of the value of such a waterway, four
teen feet deep. This phase of the sub
ject was emphasized by ". P. Ken
nett, of ST Louis r. r. Bourland, of
Peoria, Ill, also dwelt on this subject,
and so did an address from the Chi
cago Commercial association, which
was read by w r. Kavanaugh.
DR.. W. ]. McGee of st. Louis, rep
rescnting the Latin-American club and
the Foreign Trade association, made
an extended address from the view
point of a geologist. He estimated
that the sediment poured into the
Mississippi river each year by the Mis-
souri, river amounted to 100000
tons. and furnished the intricate prob
/ lem for the engineers who should build
the proposed canal: because this must
either be removed from or kept out
the Mississippi river. He said it could

sIMPLIFIED SPELLING AN ISSUE
House Committee Does Not Know
What TO Do About 1t.

Washington, Nov IS. The house
committee on the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill took ad-
vantage Of the appearance before it Of
Public Printer Shllings to discuss the
question Of simplified spelling in con-
gresslonal documents. The subject, in
deed, was forced upon the committee
by the fact that the bill represented
both the old and the new style Of
photography, the estimates Of the treas
ury being in the new style and the re
production of the current law in the
old. The discussion dealt almost ex-
clusively with the question of prac-
ticahility and cost.
Attention was called to the fact that
the supreme court of the United States
had refused to recognize the executive
order for change of spelling, and the
question was raised whether by legis-
latiye enactment that tribunal, repre-
senting coordinate branch of the
government, could be compelled to
adopt the 'simplfed" system.
The same question arose with refer
ence to the executive departments, the
question there being whether congress
could compel those departments to re-
turn TO the orthodox spelling BY legis-
lative enactment. There were so many
points at issue that there was no con
clusion. but the bill must be arranged
exclusively in one style or the other.

Washington, Nov. %. - President
Roosevelt had a long conference with
Secretary Metcalf at the White House
regarding the alleged discrimination
against the japanese residents in San
francisco. More than a month ago,
when the agitation affecting the al

height, the president sent Metcalf to
That city to make a thorough and ex-
hanstive investigation with a view TO
learning at first hand the exact condi-
ton Of affairs. 1t was charged that
the alleged discrimination consisted
among other things. Of denying the
japanese equal school privileges with

Wishes to Clear Miners Union of Re
sponsibiIty for Crime.

DENVER, Colo, Jan. 2.-President
Meyer of the Western Federation Of
Miners states that his organization has
begun an Independent organization Of
the assassination of Former Governor
Steunenberg at Caldwell, Idaho. Meyer
declares this is for the protection of the
federation, because the name of the
organization has been dragged into the
case by Idaho officials. He said today:
AT the present time I cannot state
whether or not this terrible crime was
committed by members of this fedora
ton, but I don't believe any of our
men could be guilty Of such a criem.
We are just as anxious that the real
perpetrators of this crime be caught
and punished as any other class, but
we don't want to be wrongly accused
Of committing such a deed. The an
tipathy engendered in the ranks Of the
union miners against Steunenberg
considerable, but it never reached the
stage where violence was thought of.
Governor Steunenberg simply acted I'M
der orders and he had been forgotten
until he was killed. It is nonsense to
couple the federation with the crime
Steunenberg made many other enemies
during the big strike than those in the
