OVER BURTON'S HEAD
Declares Rivers and Harb0rs
Useless Without More Ma

Washington, Dec. 3.-Senator Calm
ger of New Hampshire arrived in
Washington last night in combative
mind. He served notice upon Repre-
sentative Burton of Ohio, chairman of
the house committee on rivers and
harbors, that if the latter opposed ship
subsidy legislation this winter the riv-
er and harbor bill would be cut to rib
bons when it reached the senate. Sen
ator Gallnger said:
"Mr. Burton should understand from
the beginning that if he interpOses any
obstacle in the way of shipping there
will be some men in the senate who
will scrutinize carefully the provisions
of the river and harbor bills.
There is no logical reason why we
should improve rivers and harbors. ex-
pend hundreds of millions to improve
the highways Of commerce for the ben
eft Of foreign shipping, and refuse TO
appropriate a mere pittance for the re-
habilitation of the American merchant

measure receive consideration at this
session. The bill is still in commit

they will be able TO get it out i'm due
season and have it considered.
GnIIinger Talks.
Senator Gallinger, chairman of the
merchant marine commission which
prepared the subsidy bill passed by the
senate last session in referring to the
quoted interview with Chairman Bur
ton of the house committee on rivers
and harbors in which he is alleged TO
have stated he intends vigorously to
oppose the bill, said, Il am a friend of
river and harbor legislation, but it is
well that Burton should understand
that if he arrays himself against the
shipping bill he will find there are
some men in public life who will fully
scTutinize the measure he proposes to
champion.
Merely for Foreigners.
"As there is no legal reason why we
should continue to spend hundreds Of
of dollars on our rivers and
harbors. largely for the benefit of for
eign shipping interests and refuse to

tion of the American merchant ma
