WATERWAYS AND IRRIGATION
SUBJECTS CONSIDERED BY CON.
sERVATIoN COMMISSION.
Inland Projects Are Discussed
What to Do With Reservoirs
in the East.

Water was the last of the four big SUBJ
jects considered by the conservation
commission at the Congressional Library
and occupied the whole of the session
today.
The inland waterways commission, APP
pointed by the President almost two years
ago. forms the section on waters of the
conservation commission. The report
that was made to the commission today
was practically the report of the water
ways commission. rendered to the Presi-
dent about the beginning of this year.
The commission stated that it had little
reason to change any views then add
vanced.
The main point brought out by the COM
missions report is the need OF d compre-
hensive system of water communication
all over the country 1t was pointed out
that the United States has a better syS-
tenn of natural water transportation than
any other country in the world. and that
less has been done toward developing it.
What the commission wants. and what
the rivers and harborS congress is also
after, is Il series of great water routes
that will link together distant parts of
the country and will not only serve to
regulate the long distance freight rates
but to supplement the railroads in carry
ing heavy and bulky freight in whose
movement time is a minor consideration.
There are three or four of these great
waterways that the commission has in
mind. One of them is the inland passage
along the Atlantic coast. many links of
which are already in existence. Another
Is the lakes to gulf deep waterway The
third and fourth projects are on the
Pacific coast, and include the navigation
of the Columbia and the Sacramento and
Feather river schemes in California.
A start has already been made on the
lake to gulf project in Illinois, where $40
600 600 has been appropriated for work on
the headwaters of the great channel.
The commission at it's meeting today
considered the general transportation
scheme and in the same connection the
use of rivers for power purposes. 1t was
shown that none of the natural water
ways should be used either for traffic or
for power to the exclusion of the other,
when, as is usually the case, the water
could easily be made to serve both pur-
poses.
The commission then took up the SUBJ
iect of irrigation and in this connection
considered the increasing frequency of
floods. 1t was pointed out that these
came largely from denuding the water
sheds of trees. 1t was stated that these
floods would have to be dealt with in one
of two ways, either by constructing flood
reservoirs or by reforesting the banks of
the streams.
The question also arose of to what use
the stored water could best be put in the
east In the arid section of the west
there was, of course, no question but
that the water would so for irrigation,

THIS purpose.
Some interesting figures were submitted
of the extent to which the natural water
power, especially of the west, was get
ting into the hands of few men or of big
corporations AS the commission is not
supposed to give out results till they had
been formulated in the report to the Pres
ident these figures were not available.
Tomorrow will be spent in passing on
the findings of the four sections of the
commission with a view to presenting
them to the big meeting at the Beasco
Theater Tuesday. There will be two i'm
portant meetings that day-that of the
joint conservation commission and of the
southern commercial congress, which is
one of the subsidiary organizations of
the big congress.
The final report of the conservation
commission to the President is not due
till January l.
Representative Burton of Ohio, chair
man of the section, presided. The report,
which was read by DR.. w j McGee, sec
rotary of the water section, discussed
exhaustively the subject of irrigation and
navigation.

CASES MUST Be
TRIED SEPARATELY
JUDGE CONNOLLY DECIDES
AGAINST CITY IN GRADE SEP.
ARATION LITIGATION.

Judge Connolly, Thursday morning,
dismissed the petition OF the city for
The separation OF the grades at Four.
teenth and Sixteenth-sts.. holding
that the city cannot legally include
three streets in one petition. The
question waS raised by the attorneys
for the property owners whose lands
arc to be taken for the improvement.
whose principal objection was that
they considered 1t too big a job for
one jury to hear the evidence In all
three cases. Chief Assistant Corpor-
alton Counsel Hally. who represents
the city, will probably apply to the
supreme court for mandamus to
compel Judge Connolly TO proceed at
once with the trial OF the three cases
before the one jury, as already begun.
The courts action will not inter
fere in any way with the grade sep
aration work now In progress at these
three crossings. The Fourteenth-st.
subway Is nearly completed and the
work Is we'll under way at the other
two crossings. The city's purpose In
having the cases consolidated Is to
expedite the settlement of the dam
ages and save expense. The practice
has been followed for some time, but
no objection has ever been raised be-
fore. The present case Is. consequent

bLAMES HOSPITAL
FOR DEATH Of
HUSBAND
JOHN LAUDER JUMPED FROM
WINDOW, WHILE UNGUARDED,
WIFE, WHO BRINGS SUIT
FOR $25, 1000 DAMAGES.

Alleging that her husband was pelt-
ed with snowballs as he hung sus-
pended from the second-story window
OF the Detroit SanitaIium. and that
he fell to his death. Mrs. Elizabeth
LAUDER commenced suit against the
hospital authorities in Judge Man
dells court Thursday morning. claim
ing $4,000 damages.
John LAUDER. foreman for the
Michigan Telephone Co., was taken to
the sanitarium In January, 1907, seri-
ously i'll and delirious. Ii Is alleged
that while left unguarded he arose
from his bed, locked himself in his
room, and then climbed out OF the
widow. The plaintiff claims he was
seen by the attendants. who. after he
was out OF the window. and almost
naked. threw snowballs st him. AS q
result Of the exposure and fall death
soon followed. Mrs. LAUDER charges
the hospital with negligence In leav-
ing the key where her husband
could reach 1t. and in not watching
him more carefully.
The defense will claim that LAUDER
was guarded. and that he threw the
orderly out Of the room before he
locked the door. They also deny that
he was snowballed. but claim that be-
fore he got out of the window some
loose snow was thrown at him to keep
him back until the door Of his room
could be forced.

SWEATED AGAIN
POLICE FAIL TO FASTEN MUIR.
DER OF HUSBAND ON MRS.
CYMBAlOWSki.

Mrs. Victoria Cymbalowski, held on
suspicion OF the murder OF her hus-
band. Albert Cymbalowski. In their
home, at No. 3l9 Alexandrine-ave.
east, was subjected TO another long
sweatbox examination by Chief OF
Detectives Mcdonnell Thursday morn
ing. which brought no definite results.
The woman's attitude thus far Is one
Of defiance, but she has frequently Civ
en- way TO tears during the inquisi-
ton. Confinement is telling on her.
and she looks pale and haggard.
Mrs. Cymbalowski now gigs back
somewhat from her statement that
she found the front door OF her home
open Immediately after the shooting.
When told by Capt. Mcdonnell, Thurs.
day, that he had proof that she her
self opened the door FIVE minutes az
ter the tragedy and emerged from the
house. she said, angrily:
Then prove It."
Mrs. Cymbalowski then explained
that she hsd felt draught and for
thai reason thought the front door
was open.
That Mrs. Cymbalowski's sweatbox
ordeal is not ended Is evident from
the fact that the police had, her re-
manded 10 their custody for another
"a hours Thursday noon. One of the
boarders In the house Is still held and
