To Prosecute Campaign For Atlantic
 Inland Waterway.

Philadelphia, Nov. 2l.-After two days of discussion of the project for an inland waterway along the Atlantic coast from New England to the Caro- linas, the Atlantic Deep Waterways conference voted this afternoon for a permanent organization and to begin an aggressive campaign to accomplish the undertaking.
 Resolutions were adopted asking the assistance of the national government and the cooperation of all the states interested. Today several addresses were heard on the subject. Gen. Felix Agnus of Baltimore said: More ben eft is to be obtained from a million dollars spent on these interior water ways than would come from ten times the sum invested in the Mississippi or at Panama or in the desert lands of the west"

ARE HARD TIMES AHEAD?
RooseveIt's Attacks Are Discourasing
 Foreign Capital.

In an article which is most import because of the authoritative state ments it contains concerning Presi- dent Roosevelt's antitrust policies. Serono s. Pratt. in the New Broadway Magazine for December mentions the possibility of hard times coming. It says:
 "The states. not to be distanced by the federal government. have begun to lynch capital. especially in the west and south. Lastly. a federal judge has imposed a confiscatory fine of s2s,240- 900 upon Standard oil. Much as the Standard oil deserved punishment for its monstrous methods of wrecking competition. it certainly did not justify such a penalty as this. This fine has created a sensation in every market Of the world. France. that was about to invest millions in America. has now locked up its money.
 Wall street. in common with Lon don and Berlin. has suffered for a year from a dangerous strain in the money market and the collapse in the prices of securities. This was an in ternational condition which would have developed even if there had been no Roosevelt. But the attack on Wall street, by undermining confidence. has aggravated the financial strain and made il harder To bear. Lord Roths- child says Europe will not invest in America because of these Roosevelt attacks.
 As long as only Wall street was affected, the rest of the country shrug- ged its shoulders with indifference and scorn. IL did not care as long as every forge was blazing and every in dustry working overtime to fill over whelming orders. It laughed at the losses of rich men, and gloated over the distress of the systems Wall street. however. has had its liquidation and panic. and now there are signs that the inevitable reaction and read justment is proceeding into the gen eral trade of the country. When the shoe begins to pinch there. when bus mess contracts, when failures occur, if it reaches point where shops are closed and labor seeks employment. what them In every such reaction the presidential administration gets the blame. whether it is responsible or not. Wall street has laid the blame for its stock market decline on Roose- welt. How long will it be before the country will be abusing him for bus mess depression?"

Harry Huck is quite well known in Phoenix. having spent couple of winters here. He was last here about two years ago. He distinguished him. self by the reckless manner in which he spent money. preferably his own. but when that was gone. that of his friends. from whom he borrowed liber- ally. Huck was good hearted and had many friends who accommodated him until it became evident that the ac- commcdations would not be returned. Then he became Il more or less indis- criminate borrower and established a fair line of credit for more or less prompt payment. usually with usury suggested by himself There was therefore a more cheerful response to the second touch"
 Toward the last of his stay in Phoe- nix his remittance from his sister was cut down to S50 week, but it is said that that sum was hardly sufficient to meet his cigarette needs Conse- quently when he went away he left various sums behind him but when he returned some time afterwards he sat- isfied those of his creditors whom he met.
 It was during one of his visits here that his brother-in-law, Marshall Field Jr. son of the multi-millionaire merchant. fatally shot himself in Chi cago. Huck hurried there and return ed to Phoenix for short stay He left here again on a surveying trip into Nevada but came back again for brief visit. He then went to Mexico.
