attorneys in the state and member

prominent in social circles here. The
case arose from joke perpetrated by
the young woman upon the busy young
attorney, and suit is brought to obtain
fees which he alleges are due.
The lawyer was consulted by tele-
phone upon what appeared TO be a
plausible situation in which the defend
ant said that she had been swindled out

 The announcement of the senator intention was made by him today ID person, in the following statement which he gave out:

 road construction, instead of soaring it away by hostile and unjust lesisla- ton; and, second. by a comprehensive and rational system of waterway im- provement. There is no other way, nor will there ever be. by which the bus iness of the country can be done. The speaker complained Of what he termed the restriction by legislation of the legitimate powers and profits of railroad enterprise. which. he said, has not only checked inyestment but brought about q year, ago q business reaction from which the country Is still suffering. whiie the multitude Of cuttinr down of income of railroads make this years showing the worst since the early years of national rail- roads disaster.
 Railroad Regulation.
 Mir. Hill said that within the last Ave years, thirty-three States have enacted q total of 3s4 laws regulating railroads, nearly all of which Mad been enacted without investigation or without knowledge of their effect.
 sTf this were to be continued" he added, "the future of railroad trans portation would end In the destruction of the business of the nation. Fortu- saner counsel will prevail. The car nival of legislative wrecking has dem onstrated tl.e necessity of substituting Federal for local legislation"
 Mir. Hill declared that the future of the waterways is assured. not so much as competitor, but as helper of the railroad.
 developing the waterways highest pos- abilities are few and simple. First. a permanent commission, authorized to expend appropriations in it's discretion on natioanl waterways in the order af their importance. Second. classification of rivers and canal routes in the order of their value. by the commission. this plan to be adhered to without inter ference by Congress or any departs ment. Third. insistence on the devei- opment of trunk lines first, and upon Q depth that will make the carriers Of commerce. Fourth, liberal stand. ing appropriation annually for the commissions work without making the mistake of urging that the nation al credit be pledged to unheard of asnountss in order than we may con- plete the whole work at once"
 Mir. Bryan showed only a trace of hoarseness when he began speaking. His address was repeatedly interrupted by laughter or applause as he made some humorous touch or drive home an argument. Mir. Bryan said:
 lTr. Bryan Speaks.
 'T am glad to meet with those who assemble here In the interests of de- velopment of the waterways of this country. I am in hearty sympathy with you. You can not give the peo- pie too good facilities for the trans portation of their merchandise. If you tell me you want to improve the Mississippi. I tell you that Is all right. I will help you improve 1t just as far as you please. and make the canal as wide as you please and as deep as you please, and when you get to im- proving the Mississippi. I will start out all alone. if necessary. to improve every river that empties into the Mis- sissippi.

 The delegates were greatly im- pressed by the extensive coast defense work the government is doing about this city and were given an opportu- nity to inspect the numerous posts where big guns are located.
 The committee on resolutions which began It's deliberations yesterday has adopted for presentation to the Con- gress. a strong plea for Federal aid for the merchant marine. This reso- iution was put before the committee by the Hawaiian delegation and as first considered affected only the Pacific. but the committee widened It's scope to take in the Atlantic as well. The res- oiution declares the present condition of the merchant marine to be dan gerous to the military and commercial strength of the country and pledges the members of the Trans Mississippi Congress to work for the passage of a measure in the national Congress liber- ally providing for the emancipation of the country's maratime trade.
 It is believed that the delegates will look with favor on this resolution and that it's adoption will Immediately fol- low it's presentation to Congress.
