by Associn-ed Prsss.

Dy ASsocin-ed Pr=fs.
CHICAGO, Dec. THAT the rapid
acquisition of Americas riparian rights
by the railroads and other private in
terests Is involving the country in a
situation which threatens a revolution
was the startling assertion made last
night by w. j. MCGEE, secretary of the
United States inland waterways COM
mission.
The speaker affirmed that this ac-
tivity of private interests is throttling
navigation and depriving the country
of it's greatest single source of wealth.
Mr.. McGee was addressing the annual
dinner of the Geographic society of
Chicago on The Mississippi and Its
Future
THE country is on the verge of a
revolution of grave character" Mr..
MCGEE declared. '"rhe absolute mono
poly of our lands and our waterways
by certain few private individuals
will certainly result If the people do
not take steps to protect their riparian
rights. The railroads are our menace.
From ST. Paul to New Orleans there
is not single town excepting Vicks-
burg where the railroads do not own
and control the river fronts and
bridges. Is it a wonder that naviga-
tion declines when corporations act
through legislatures and other sources
In grabbing these sites?"
Mr.. McGee dealt in figures of fabu-
lous proportions, showing that the po-
tential water power in the rivers of
the country, If developed through
widening and deepening, would within
few years pay for the work.

was two months before the explosion of
the bomb. Believing the woman to be
his friend, Lord Ashtown gave her
money Later he discovered that three

STOCKHOLM, Dec. Skiing Oscar of
Sweden is dead. The aged monarch, who
was sorely stricken several days ago and
who at that time turned over the reins
of government to the crown prince, died
at 9:15 o'clock this morning.
1t was known last night that the king
could not recover, and although the
theaters and other places of amusement
were opened as usual, the crowds, num-
bering thousands, patiently waiting in
a pouring rain in front of the palace, tes-
titled their sympathy for the aged mon
arch, whose life was slowly ebbing away.
Within the palace members Of the royal
family, high ecclesiastics, the premier
and the minister of foreign affairs, had
been assembled for some hours in the
kings study, to which room his majesty
had been removed in bed at noon when
still unconscious.
This measure was taken to enable all
the family and the officials to be present
at the last moments without undue
crowling.
The physicians in attendance admin
istered stimulants, consisting of saline
solution, camphor and digitalis, which
were injected at intervals, and they re-
lieved Also as far as possible, the vesical
trouble, from which the king has suffered
severely all through the illness. They,
however, could accomplish very little
more than the bringing back of their
patient to momentaray consciousness.
Every effort was made to reduce the
pain to a minimum, and this apparently
was successful.
In the expectation that life would be
prolonged until Sunday morning the
ministers left the palace at II o'clock, the
various members of the royal family
Withdrawing for the time being from the
sick room.
King Oscar II was born in Stockholm
January q, 1929. He was a great grand
son of Napoleon's famous general. Mar
shall Bernadotte, who was the first king
of the new Independent kingdom of Nor

Oscar II was trained in the navy and at

critic, poet and novelist. Some of his
