son for such abandonment was un-
doubtedly that they became obsolete
because of too small capacity to meet
the demands of commerce, and during
the era of rapid railway extension
the Importance of enlarging them was
not recognized.
"The improvement of our harbors
has kept pace fairly we'll with similar
Is concerned; but in the facilities
for handling traffic, the loading and
unloading of vessels, several European
ports are better equipped than the
best of ours.
"In general, they have made far
better use of their rivers as channels
of transportation than we have, and
have set an example in the use. as
we'll as the improvement, of their
waterways which is worthy of our
serious consideration"
AS a delegate during the past sum-
mer to the eleventh International
congress of navigation. held at St.
Petersburg, Mr.. Ockerson was able to
speak Interestingly of European wa
terways, and he made the foreign wa
terways an important subject of his
discussion. Speaking of European
countries, Mr.. Ockerson said:
Their greatest rivers are small
when compared with ours. yet they
have made the most of their capacity
for improvement and they have be-
come successful carriers of freight.
AS our streams are greater their ca
pacity for improvement Is also great
er and they can be made into profita-
BILE highways of commerce, highly
beneficial to the country at large.
"Our awakening to the great i'm
portance of waterways, although un-
duly delayed, seems to have come to
stay.
1--WE are sometimes told by railway
men that If the government pursued
the same course as in the case of wa
terways and would build and main
tain their roads, they could material
ly reduce their freight rates." said
the speaker "This may be true, but
we must not overlook the fact that
the railways have in the past received
aid from the government, states and
other sources, amounting in the ag-
gregate to sum larger than the total
amount SO far expended by the general
government on rivers and harbors." I"

STUDYING MARS
Astronomers Finds Out About Planets
Moisture.

Boston, Dec. 10.-Professor Percival
Lowell, the we'll known astronomer,
today made an important statement
with reference to the water vapor on
Mars. His assistants at his observa-
tory at Flagstaff, Ariz., have been able
to determine that the water vapor on
the planet is present and measurable.
1t betrays itself in lines of the spec
trum, lines that show that the atmos-
phere of Mars affects the spectrum in
the same way though only one fifth
as much as does the earth's envelope
There has been much controversy with
reference to the atmosphere of Mars
and its qualities. Those scientists
who disbelieve in any life on the
planet have known that their point
could be proved If the absence of an
atmosphere could be shown; while,
on the other hand, Professor Lowell
and his staff have been at work seek
ing what evidence there might be in
favor of an atmosphere. Photographs
taken about year ago by Dr. v. N.
Slipher, an assistant at the observa-
tory at Flagstaff, contained certain
spectrum lines which, Prof. Lowell
states, clearly indicated water vapor
on Mars. Further work followed done
in great part by Prof Frank A. Very,
formerly an assistant to Prof. Bang
ley at the Allegheny observatory.
These investigations have proven,
according to the professor. that Mars
has so much water vapor that when
1t is added to the water vapor in our
own atmosphere observers on the
earth can tell that there has heen an
addition. At the present time there
Is no known method Of measuring the
water vapor in the earth's atmosphere
and until some such method is discov-
cred it will be impossible to make an
accurate measurement of that sur
rounding Mars.

with the police last Tuesday, died to-
day at the general hospital. Police
man Mullane also suffered relapse
and died this afternoon. Sergeant
Patrick Clark and A. ]. Seller. who
were also seriously wounded, are
slightly improved today. and their ul-
innate recovery is expected. James
Sharp, the leader of the onslaught
against the police, has not been cap
tured. Mrs. Pratt, who with her four
children is being held at police head
quarters, now states she knows Sharp
was a false prophet and wishes he
had remained in the good old Baptist
church.

CASTRO LANDED
ON FRENCH SOIL
UN|NTERUP
Was Met by Foreign Minister
Pichon and d Conference
Followed
HAS NO FEARS Of CUSTOMARY
REBELLION IN HIS ABSENCE
President Had No Comment to Make
When Informed of the Recent Dutch
Naval Demonstration Against His
Country-Congenial Traveller.

Bordeaux, Dec. 1O-President Cas-
from La Guayra. The French steamer
Guadeloupe, on which he left Vene-
zuela November %, docked at Paullas.
A representative of Foreign Minister
Pichon boarded the steamer and had
an interview with Castro, after which
the president and the members of his
party came up to Bordeaux on a pri-
vate car. The president was greeted
at the railroad station by the Vene-
zuelan colony. The party then got into
automobiles and were driven to the
hotel.
A member of the presidents entour-
age expressed the opinion today that
various governments would be very
much surprised when certain docu-
ments in the possession of President
Castro were shown to them.
President Castro has every reason
to believe that things will go smoothly
during his absence from home. He
has left matters in excellent shape,
and Acting President Gomez Is re-
garded as fully competent to handle
the situation. When one of his aides
was informed of the reported revolu-
tionary expedition under General
Rolande and Fernandez that is said to
be now in process of organization at
Curacao. the officer smiled and de-
clared the movement would be utterly
abortive. President Castro was in
formed of the Dutch naval demonstra-
tion off the coast of Venezuela. but he
made no comment. '"'
All the passengers on board the
Guadeloupe who talked with President
Castro on the trip over were greatly
impressed with his remarkable intel
ligence and strong personality.
The allegation that Castro declared
in an interview once that he was
proud of the fact that his government
was on bad terms with most of the
powers of Europe, is not believed by
those who know the president closely.
nor is it thought that he is trying to
create a confederation of the states
of North and South Dakota against
Europe and the United States. 1t was
explained by one of his aides that
President Castro regarded interna-
tional relations as business that could
be attended to in large measure by
the consuls and that the president had
patience with diplomatic ceremonial
and protocols He had been annoyed
also by the character of some of the
foreign representatives sent to Cara
cas-, considering their selection to have
been slight upon the dignity of Vene-
zuela.
The president was represented as
entirely confident that there would be
no attempt at revolution in Venezuela
during his absence.

cars leaving the express car attached
to the dead train. The robbers then
left the engineer and fireman with the
train and brought it to a stop, rifled
the mail car, then again boarded it
after uncoupling it from the cars, and
proceeded three miles to Mead. A rig
was awaiting them and they made
their escape. Mead is only ten miles
from Spokane and it is supposed that
the bandits have made their way back
to Spokane. The amount of their
booty Is unknown.

ing bill for the resul. ocfs the
future issues Of securities ~ " Il.
portation companies and telegraph aid
telephone companies engaged in inter-
state commerce was introduced in the
senate today by Mr.. Dolliver, one of
the authors of the railroad rate law.
It is said that the measure represents
the administration view Of the subject
on which It 10 proposed to legislate.
The provisions of the bill were ex-
planned by its author as follows:
"The measure is designed to subject
the future issues of stocks and bonds
by transportation companies, tele-
phone and telegraph companies en-
gagged in interstate commerce, to the
scrutiny Of the government Of the
United States. It is intended to pre-
vent for the future over-capitalization,
stock watering, bond manipulation,
and all similar abuses. which in times
past have brought more or less dis
repute on the management of railway
properties. The effect of it will be to
give stability to the existing volume
Of railway securities and at the same
time to 30 guard future issues as to
give normal values to stocks and
bonds"
"The bill is applicable to all cor
porations which are subject to ex-
listing laws for the regulation of in
terstate commerce and, in additional,
to telephone and telegraph companies
engaged in interstate commerce.
1t is undertaken In the bill to
make standard Of legality by which
the validity of stock and bond issues
may be adjudged. These features Of
the bill have been drawn without any
intention to hinder or embarrass
legitimate enterprise, either Of rail
road building or railroad consolida-
ton"

THE PRESIDENTS
I. HUNTING TRIP
Comprehensive Survey Of the
Field and the Game Which
Abounds

Chicago, Dec. 9-Dangers and de.
lights which President Roosevelt con.
fronts in his proposed East African
hunting trip formed the theme to.
day Of an absorbing recital by Prof
Carl e. Akeley, taxidermist Of the
Field Columbian museum, following
his return from Washington. When
at the capital city the professor had
numerous conferences with the presi-
dent on the question Of big-game
shooting in Africa. Mr.. Roosevelt
sought his advice because he knew
that Prof. Akeley hunted less than two
years ago through the territory the
president himself will cover and con-
seQuently is thoroughly familiar with
the perils and characteristics of such
an undertaking.
VIII Need Scores Of Porters
Prof. Akeley. in detailing the plans
for the big trip as made, indicated
its scope when he pointed out that II
would probably be necessary to en-
ploy between fifty and 230 black port
ers from time to time. This squad
of attendants will not only take
charge Of the equipment. but will be
required to carry the game that falls
before the presidents bullets.
Prof. Akeley then proceeded to ex-
plode some erroneous assumptions
and to set forth in q striking manner
the arrangements for the trip and the
nature Of the country over which II
will be made its peculiar diseases
and the habits Of its ferocious ami
mails.
Not for Fun Of Shooting
"The Roosevelt expedition is purely
a scientific expedition" he said. 1.-THE
Smithsonian will be the beneficiary.
Mr.. Roosevelt expects to bring back
with him, barring accidents, the finest
geological collection ever gained for
this country by any single African
expedition
