WOULD DESTROY
NIAGARA 5 BEAUTY
ATTEMPT MADE TO USE FORTY
PER CENT OF WATER
President Of American Civic Assoeia-
ton Stands Firm for the Preser-
walton Of Nations Greatest
Waterfall
BY Associated I,resa

BY Associated PresA
HARRISBURG, Pa, May o.--J.
Horace Mcfarland Of this city, presi-
dent Of the American Civic association,
which organization has led the effort
for the preservation of Niagara Falls,
made q statement today regarding the
report Of the international waterways
commission, transmitted to congress
on Monday by President Roosevelt.
He said:
This report merely reiterates the
recommendations of the American sec
tion of the waterways commission as
transmitted to congress March "a,
against which we protested to Mr..
Roosevelt April "a.
THE report recommends the author
ization of total diversion of Niagara
Falls water of 64500 cubic feet per
second, which is forty per cent of the
flow of the falls, and would, In the
opinion Of all but the power COM
panies and the waterways commits
sion, seriously damage the great cata-
ract as q scenic feature.
Report Disregarded
After careful study and after
consultation with Mr.. Roosevelt, this
report was disregarded by Mr.. Bur-
ton, chairman of the rivers and har-
bors committee of the house of repre-
sentatives. who framed the Niagara
preservation act now known as the
Burton-Lodge bill.
"This bill, upon which many hear
ings have been had, stops the Niagara
destruction at the present point, and
by prohibiting the importation of Nj
agara- made electric power from Can
ada, would restrain Canadian diver
sion.
1T would be operative for three
years only, giving time for diplomatic
action without permitting the destruc-
tion of Niagara to continue meanwhile.
Report Is Misleading
1.-THE report of the International
waterways commission is hard to un-
derstand, if the commissioners believe
what they aSsert-that it would be a
sacrilege to destroy the scenic effect
of Niagara Falls.
Saying this, they yet propose to
bleed forty per cent from the falls,
giving full vitality to all existing
franchises except one, and that one an
American franchise.
1T is as if they proposed to, allow as
many mosquitoes to sting defense
less man as they thought he could
stand without tumbling over.
I'VE will renew our protest to Pres
ident Roosevelt at once against this
vicious report so favorable to the Nj
agara grabbers and so dangerous to
the falls.
I'VE have advices from all over
America that lead us to believe that
the people want the falls preserved un-
harmed and not tapped for private
gain to the danger point or beyond"
Mr.. Mcfarland stated that letters in
his possession assured strong congress
sional support to the Burton-Lodge
bill.

VOTES DOWN AN
OPEN MARKET
HOUSE PREFERS TO MAINTAIN
NAVY YARDS
Michigan Representative Shows How
Government Could Save SS5o,ooo
Year, but All to
No Avail
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-Nearly TIL,
entire time of the house was today
taken up by two propositions-frst
whether the navy department should
go into the open market and purchase
anchors, chains and cordage, or con-
tinue to manufacture these articles II
the government navy yards as is now
done and, second. whether the cost Of
transporting coal from Atlantic and
Gulf ports to the Philippine islands ir
American bottoms should be limited tc
S5 or Sc per ton.
On the first proposition one of the
prettiest legislative combats of the ses-
sion occurred, the debate extending
over the major portion of the session
Representative Loud of Michigan in
sisted that there could be a saving of
S35O,OO0 a year to the government If the
navy department was permitted to GO
into the free markets and purchase
anchors, chains and cordage under reg
ulation of the department.
Other Members Concur
General Grosvenor of Ohio and men,
bers of the Michigan and Pennsylvania
delegations aided Mr.. Loud in his fight,
the opposition being represented by Mr..
Roberts of Massachusetts, Mr.. Fitz-
~
Massachusetts and Mr.. Rixey of Vir-
ginia.
Mr.. Grosvenor offered substitute to
Mr.. Loud's amendment giving the sec
retary of the navy the right to purchase
the articles above referred to in free
markets should it be demonstrated that
they could be had from manufacturers
cheaper than they could be made at
the government navy yards. This SUD-
stitute was adopted So to 76.
AS to the second proposition limiting
the cost of transport of coal to So or
Sc per ton, the efforts put forth by Mr..
Fitzgerald of New York and Mr.. Slay-
den Of Texas were Of no avail, al
though votes were had on both amend
ments limiting the cost.
After these propositions were dis
posed of the reading of the naval Dill
was continued until the hour of adj
journment without exciting debate.

pROHIBITIONISTS ARE FOR LITTLE
Ii is Reported That They May En- dorse the Democratic Nomi-
 nee For Governor

It is reported that there is a probability that in lieu of nominat- ing a candidate of their own for governor the Prohibitionists of Arkansas will endorse Hon. John $. Little, the Democratic nominee. Prominent men express the opin- ion that Judge Little will poll the full temperance voting strength of the state, because of the esteem and confidence in which he is held by all.
 While 1t is pointed out that the prohibition nominee for governor in 1904, J. E. Williams, received only 2,527 votes in the state, it is also to be remembered that the to- tai vote of the state was against liquor license, the total figures on this question at that election be- ing 6S, ,963 for license and 70,916 against license.
 Temperance leaders oyer the state declare that Judge LittIe's s lead in the fight against the sale of intoxicating liquors in the capitol at W asbington won him the ever lasting gratitude of temperance advocates all over the country. They predict that he will receive every Democratic vote and the vote of practically every Prohi- bitionist in the election in Arkan- sas next September.
