Work in the cutting room of the
Snow Hazard factory began yester-
day, just six weeks after the contract

still has q few things to complete and
will probably have these finished by

before the business Outgrows its az

business and nobody doubts that his
success in the new factory will be
equally as great.
The next department to be put in
operation will be the stitching room.

TO SAVE NIAGARA.
Congress Takes Step Toward Saving
Falls in Their Present Beauty,

Washington. April 11.-Representa-
tive Burton of Ohio, introduced a bill
today for the preservation of Niagara
Falls. 1t prohibits the diversion of
water from Niagara river except upon
reVocable permits to be granted by the
secretary of war. Permits are to be
granted for domestic use of water and
for the Erie canal. Power companies
now using the waters for power may
secure revocable permits for the
amount they are now using but no in
crease and no additional power per-
mits are to be authorized. 1t prohibits
the transmission of electric power in
to the United States from Canada
when such power is generated from
Niagara river or any of its tributaries.
except as to power now being brought
in.
A penalty of a fine and imprison-
ment is provided for a violation of the
act or the regulations of the secretary
of war. The minimum fine is $500
and the maximum s2500 The Presi-
dent is requested to take action either
through the regular diplomati han
nels or by the international water
ways commission to prevent the furth-
er depletion of the waters of Niagara

5eth CONGRESS-.
Continued from Page One.)

VIXEN the debate on so important a
measure had been son continuous and
so we'll sustained. "If," he said, 1.-The
senator is able to sustain his zeal for Il
few days until some important
speeches are made, I hope we will then
be able to reach an understanding. I
should say that before the end of the
week we ought to ,foresee the end of
the general discussion"
The bill was then temporarily laid
aside and the discussion of the report on
the Indian settlement bill was resumed.
Tillman attacked the Seminole pay
ment plan. declaring that the Congress
should protect the Indians against
thieves whom We put in charge Of their
property"
Tillman said that if the secretary Of
the interior had permitted himself to be
duDed in the matter of tho payment OF
the Indians he was not fit for his place.
He contended that the suits for the re-
covery of the money should be prosecuted
by the government. "The question: he
said, replying to Clapp, lis whether some
lawyer has not come up here from Indian
Territory and bamboozled the govern
ment.'
"lf the senator has been bambooZled it
was when he was asleep at the switch
and let the provision go through the Sen
ate originally responded Clapp sharply.
"Tf the Senator from South Carolina
has been asleep at the SWITCH said Till
man, just as pointedly. .'it was when this
bill was stolen from his committee by
your committee The bill should have
been considered by the committee of the
Five Civilized Tribes. of which 1 am

That" Clapp said in reply. would
have been sorry spectacle"
Tillman had declared that the Senate
cOnferees had surrendered at the first
chance. This statement Clapp challenged
as Unfair saying that they had held
out for two or three days. THE fact 1
don't bear the senator out he said.
II beg your pardon" said Tillman. but
the Minnesota senator did not accept the
apology.
1T is not sufficient" said Clapp "The
senator should get his facts straight"
Sp0oner took the position that Congress
could ratify the disbursements made by
Jenkins as the agent of the government
but net that of Brown, who was the ad-
ministrator of the Indians.
Clapp replied that if Spooners point
was well taken the legislation would be
a nullity. He did not believe that the
House would recede from its position.
Tillman would not accept the position
that the House would continue to stand
out for 4 provision so palpably unjust
1t stinks to heaven of too much that is
rotten and ought to go out" he declared.
Money cpincided with Tillman. charac-
tcrizinG the proposed legislation as n
gross injustice and scheme for plum
dor" Money criticised the alienation Of

PRIVATE YARD WINS.
Battleship Louisiana Cheaper and
Ahead Of Sister Ship Connecticut.

Washington, April 1.-THE present
prospects are, according to the view
now obtaining at the navy department
that the battleship Connecticut being
constructed by the government at the
New York navy yard will not only cost
approximately 100000 more than her
sister ship the Louisiana, being built
by private contractors, but that the
government will lose the race which
has been on since the building of the
two big ships was begun. Just how
much longer it may take to complete
the Connecticut than the Louisiana de-
pends upon the action of Congress.
According 10 the latest figures at
the navy department the percentage
of completion reached on the Louisi-
ana is S1.92 and the Connecticut 97.11.
1t was stated at the department to-
day that after spending the allotment
made for the present monh the de-
partment will have but $4,000 to spend
OH the Connecticut for the month of
May unless Congress meantime passes
the appropriation bill and authorizes
the increase in the limit of cost ask
ed for by the department and for
which provision is made in the bill.
When Congress provided for the
construction of one of these, battle
ships at a navy yard it was with a
view of obtaining comparative figures
to show whether the government
could build ships more economically
at the navy yards than by private con-
tract. The race between the two ships
has been watched with keen interest
by naval authorities and those inter-
ested in ship construction because of
the future policy which it might bring
about.
Another factor in retarding the work
on the Connecticut has been the cur
tailment in the working force at the
New York yard made necessary by
the lack of funds. 1t is estimated at
the department that the Louisiana
will be ready for delivery to the gov
ernment in from four to six weeks

Tirrell said that comparatively few
children were employed in the watch fac
tories of the country. The average wage
of women who worked in the factories
was 500 per year. while the average wage
Of men was $700.
He told how manufacturers were COM
PEELED to send the surplus output aboard !;
otherwise manufacturers would be CON-
PEELED to shut down their factories. He
admitted that the Waltham company in
order to compete with the Swiss. manu-
facturers. to compete with cheap labor of
Europe and to establish trade. was COM
PEELED to sell abroad cheaper than At
home.
Williams, the minority leader, said that
Tirrclrs speech was one of the most i'm
portant speeches made during the present
session. because it had fearlessIy con-
fessed that the surplus products of fac.
tories We're sold abroad at prices less than
sold here. He then asked why they sold
the surplus abroad at a less price than
at home.
Here at home with sheltered mar
ket," said Williams, tine moment he un-
dertook to sell the surplus here at less
than cost he would break the market
prices agreed upon by the various facto-
ries entering into the combination. Then
there would be real competition and
prices would be reduced
Lloyd, Mo, justified the cost of the rail
