STUDENT SWEEPING STREET.
Blocked Traffic While He Cleaned As-

Hartford. Oct 6.-The antics of a high school student at the corner of Main and Pratt streets between 2:30 and o'clock yesterday afternoon att tracted a crowd that completely ob- structed the sidewalk and made 1t difficult for teams to pass through Pratt street. The young man was evidently doing some stunt incident to his initiation into one of the se- cret societies of the school. as he soberly paced to and fro sweeping the asphalt pavement clean with a di- minutiye broom. No semblance of a smile appeared on his face. and he stood the taunts and jeers of the crowd with never a murmur.
 On the opposite side of Main street two or three youngsters under whose direction the sweeper seemed to be working. watched the proceedings until the boy had completed his job to their satisfaction. They then called him on with a nod and he walked swiftly along Main street and disappeared down Asylum street He refused to speak of the work he was doing. and would neither give his name nor the names of the per- sons who sent him there. To every question put to him he replied:
 ''I guess had better not talk
 Later it was rumored among high school students that the young fei- low was Dewitt Bull and that he Vas being initiated into the Alpha Delta Sigma society.

SWAMP RECLAMATION
National GoUernment Nag Under
take DRAINAGE.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. Oct THE remarkable success
Of the national reclamation service in develop
ing enormous tracts of arid lands through irri-
cation is causing serious consideration among
public men of the proposition redeem the
swamp lands through the same branch of the
federal service.
There are in the United States over sixty mill
ion acres of swamp lands Now that agricut-
ural lands are becoming scarce and the govern
ment has shown what it can do 10 water the
barren deserts of the West, the people of the
country are beginning to realize that the gov
ernment might he equally successful in moving
superabundant water. The fact has been estab-
Hshed that by drainage these waste swamp
lands may be rendered habitable and pro-
ducttve- Since the government has set aside
millions Of dollars for the reclamation of the
desert lands of the arid West through the agency
of irrigation. this fact is especially interesting
for the vast swamps Of the lower Mississippi
Valley and OF Florida, of the Sacramento Valley
Of California of Northern Minnesota and the
southwestern coastal plain are now the only
great remaining sources of future agricultural
lands
The effort TO drain swamp lands began like
the movement to irrigate the deserts with the
individual. was taken up by the corporation or
colony. and is now fast becoming the concern OF
the state. In Northern New York, Ohio and
Wisconsin well individuals have drained
some of the larger swamps and now raise in
them the finest quality of celery. onions and
asparagus. In California the state has aided in
draining the tule lands. as the extremely fertile
swamp lands of the lower Sacramento Valley
are called. Here grown crops Of asparagus,
onions and other vegetables that love rich and
moist soil. In Florida a Governor has recently
an election on the drainage issue. and the
people of that state are hoping TO drain not only
their more accessible swamps, but possibly even
the great Everglades. In Minnesota and North
Dakota a state drainage commission has been
organized and vast areas are being drained and
settled under state auspices
The states having taken hold of the subject,
it soon became evident that they were un-
able to cope with it, because of complications
due TO the possession of these lands by private
individuals by the federal government, and by
the states themselves. AS demonstrated by the
history Of irrigation development, the only pos
sibIe agency through which draining works ca,
be planned and constructed in a broad way, on
modern principles without the complications re-
sUIting from divided ownership is the federal
government. Realizing this members OF Con-
gress have introduced bills for the drainage Of
swamp lands. None Of these have been enacted
but several received the careful consideration
of the proper committees during the last session
Of Congress. 1t is safe TO assume that favorable
legislation will eventually follow, and it is to be

that under which the similar problem Of rec

recent years by the reclamation service of the
United States
When the subject OF reClaimiug arid lands by

plans for active work. Similarly. II develops

OF the Navy shall report TO Congress rhe full
details covering the type IF the purposed battle
ship and the specifications for the same incIud-
ing its displacement, draft and dimensions, and
the kind and extent Of armament therefor
The constructors have met with many COM
plex problems in the planning of ship intended
TO be several thousand tons greater than any in
the American navy ana equal to anything
ahoat In the limited time allowed them their
task has been extremely difficult but though
working under pressure, the naval constructors
in charge OF the work believe that they will
be able to meet the contract. It is felt at the
Navy Department that a great deal is staked on
the making of good impression before Con-
gress with these plans the mammoth bat
tleship proposition is not approved by all the
congressman. and the appropriation may be de-
feated unless it can be shown conclusively that
the American navy is able to build and to han
die a giant sea fighter Of the size proposed
Nothing is divulged regarding the general
character Of the plans on which the naval con-
structors working. but it Is known that the
officers are designing ship which will be truly
a levfathan. and may easily reach displace-
ment Of 10000 tons. making her over l. 900 tons
greater than the Louisiana, the largest Ameri-
can battleshtp now affOat. The mean draft of
vessel of this size, it is estimated would be at
least thirty feet. and the greatest difficulty
which confronts the constructors is TO make the
draft small enough to enable the vessel TO enter
Atlantic seaports. If the impression should be
conveyed TO naval opponents in Congress that
the American Dreadnought could not be
taken care OF at American navy yards, it is
