LETS IN BIG SHIPS.
New Jetty at Mouth of Mississippi Is
Nearly Completed.

New Orleans, Dec. Z3.-One of the
greatest channel-making undertakings
in the history of American river i'm
provement will be brought nearly to
completion this week when the jetties
at the mouth of the southwest pass of
the Mississippi river are finished These
jetties, after some dredging between
them is completed, will give the south
one of the deepest harborS in the world
by opening to the access of the largest
steamships af1oat the 100 and 200-foot
depths of the lower Mississippi river
The harbor thus made accessible has
navigable water connection with at
least a dozen states bordering the Mis-
sissfppi and its tributaries, the Ohio,
Missouri, Arkansas and Red rivers
About $6,000,000 is being spent on this
improvement which has the work in
charge.
The new jetties We're begun four
years ago. They are on a larger scale
and more substantial than the famous
jetties at the Mississippi's south pass,
an outlet which for over 80 years has
been the rivers commercial entrance.
They are nearly parallel walls. one
about three, and the other about four
miles long, lying over half mile apart
and built in the shoal water at the
junction of the pass with the Gulf of
Mexico. Their purpose is to confine
and thus accelerate the rivers current
across a mud bar about three miles
broad. so as to produce a channel at
least 1000 feet wide with minimum
depth of 35 feet

THINKS GAS IS PURE.
But Prof. Mcfarland Took a Few
Samples for Analysis.

Prof. David F. Mcfarland of KAN
sas university, an assistant to Prof. E.
H. S. Bailey, head of the department.
of chemistry, returned to Lawrence
Sunday after securing several samples
of the natural gas used in Topeka.
Prof. Mcfarland will make an analy-
sis of the gas and determine whether
Topeka is getting air in it's gas or get
ting it straight
Prof. Mcfarland secured his SAM
pies from a gas jet at the hotel where
he was stopping. He is not inclined
to think that there is much air in the
gas, basing his belief on previous
analyses which were made at Law
renee.
In order to help the supply of gas
in Topeka the Citizens Heat, Light q
Power company of Lawrence has cut
off it's consumers who are manufac-
turers and use large quantities. Law
renee which is directly on one of the
main feed lines has never had any
difficulty in securing an ample rresr
sure at all times. For that reason the
manufac acturers have been allowed to
use it all this time while here in To-
peka manufacturers have been cut off
from using natural gas for the past
two months.
There was no difficulty from the
lack of pressure Sunday, due in a large
measure to the mildness of the
weather.

Examination of Condition Prob
ably Prevented a Wreck.
President of a New Orleans In
stitution Resigned.
PEOPLE GOT SCARED.
Lit Was His Grocery Business
That Was in Trouble.
The Clearing House Association
Handled the Matter.

New Orleans. La, Dec. 23.-Follow-
ing the resignation last night of Will
liam Adler as president of the State
National bank of New Orleans, the
examination by a clearing house COM
mlttee of the banks resources and LA
bilities and the announcement that it
was absolutely solvent and that the
New Orleans Clearing House associa-
tion will render it any assistance 1t
may need, the wholesale grocery firm
of Adler & Co.. today issued a state
ment that the firm had met with
financial difficulties.
William Adler left for New York
several days ago with the hope of
Strengthening out the financial Difficult
ties of his firm. Owing to the condi-
ton of the Adler firm it was deemed
advisable that Mr.. Adler resign as the
president of the bank. Pending the
election of another officer the bank
required that the clearing house asso-
citation pass officially on the resources
and liabilities of the institution. The
prompt announcement of the result of
this examination has prevented the
confidence of depositors from being
shaken.

NO STRIKE LIKELY.
Philadelphia Car Men Say They Are
Not Contemplating One.

Philadelphia, Dec. 23.--The execu-
tive committee of the local branch of
the Street Railway Employees union Is
considering the next move to be ade
over higher pay and readjustment of
hours. The local union Saturday night
placed the matter in the hands of the
exective committee with power to
call strike if approved by the inter
national board of the union. Prior to
the meeting today, P. J. Shea, inter-
national vice president of the En-
ployes' association. said there was
only the remotest chance of a strike
before Christmas If at all. The strike
talk, he said. is entirely confined to

THEY WANT The Cash.
:
New York Banks Object to Checks
Being Sent From West.

New York, Dec. 23.-The Journal
of Commerce this morning said:
Commission houses and other
wholesale distributors of New York
are becoming restive under what they
consider distinct absence of apprecia-
ton by their interior customers. Dur
ing the recent panic, when 1t was i'm
possible for these customers to pur-
chase New York exchange, the whole
sale trade here showed every possible
consideration, going as far as to ac-
cept checks on their customers local
banks in settlement of accounts anu
then holding such checks until coIlec-
tions were possible. 1t appears that
their system having once found a foot
ing, has grown much in favor among
the interior dealers and out of town
checks are, it is understood, forming
a much greater proportion of the re-
mittance to New York than has beer
the case for years.
The contracts made by New York
merchants usually specifically call for
payment in New York exchange, and
there Is a disposition on the part of
the larger class of merchants to COM
pei a full recognition of this require
ment. Any waiving of this provision
possesses a distinct interest for New
York banks, in that the country instf-
tutions have less incentive to keep
funds on deposit here as long as their
customers are not buying New York
exchange, and this in turn encour-
ages boarding of unnecessary balances
throughout the south and west by
banks there located. New York banks
are of the opinion that a concerted
action by New York merchants to de-
mand New York exchange will DO
more to compel the out of town banks
to Immediately discontinue their
boarding tactics than anything else.
The interior banks, it is known, are
averse to acting upon the suggestions
or even pressure that might be
brought by New York banks.
Several large houses, the paper
continues, will hereafter refuse to
credit out of town checks until they
have been collectRd.

J. L. Bristow of Salina was one of
the first to call upon Secretary Taft
on his arrival in Washington. and
later, in an interview, declared him
self strongly in favor of the secretary
of war as the Republican candidate
for the presidency. Mr.. Bristow said
kansas Is for Taft. 1 have never
seen such unanimity among people. 1t
is the same way in Missouri. Nobody
else is talked off,
Mr.. Bristow said that the Republi-
can state committee of Kansas will
meet next week. 1t will then be de-
cided whether there will be an early
convention to elect Taft delegates A
state ticket will also be nominate
next year, and the committee will de-
termine whether there VIII be one or
two conventions.
IF there is only one convention to
elect delegates and nominate state Of
hcers it will probably not be early, but
II there are two conventions the first
will be an early one to elect delegates
and do nothing else. Not since 1896
this kind he said
The chief argument used by the
early convention" boomers is that
Kansas should get in an early endorse
ment OF Taft for president Mr. Bris-
toW's interview makes the suggestion
that two conventions be held; one to
endorse Taft, and a later one, if the
primary law is not passed, to nominate
state ticket. This may be the "way
out" of the difficulty which will be Sc
lected.
