been made on navigable rivers too
little attention has been given to the
development Of the incidental water
powers. On some waterways, as in
several instances on the Mississippi
river, immense sums Of money have
been appropriated and expended on
especially difficult portions of the riv-
er. II this money could have been
made available in large amounts, in
stead of by driblets over periods of
many years, water powers of great
value could have been developed and
the navigation effectually and perm
anently improved.
There are many streams that are
not navigable, or are navigable for
only portion of the season, that
can be canalized and converted iAto
streams of great commercial value.
'.There are large areas in the west
ern states where irrigation is essen
tial to the successful growing of
crops. The cultivated lands usually
lie in valleys and water is carried
to them through long and often
times wastful Irrigation bitches. In
many cases the water could be util-
lied for developing power on the head
waters of the streams without injury
to the irrigation interests.
In some cases irrigation channels
can be converted nto canals suitable
for at least limited navigation, and
where practicable this should be
done. What has been said upon the
subject of irrigation canals applies
to the development of the water sup
ply for our cities. This work, like ir-
rigaton, should be carried out so as
| to develop the maximum water power
possible without injury to the wat
er supply
When we consider the wide dis
| tribution Of our water power re-
sources and what their utilization
means to the prosperity and future
| wealth of the nation it is obvious
| that their development should be
wisely and eficencly encouraged. Any
tax operating unduly to discourage
their development might easily de-
lay our industrial progress to an ex-
tent that would more than Offset the
celebrating influence Of any improv-
ed waterways, which might be con-
structed from the proceeds of such
a tax, great as would be the undoubt-
ed value of such waterways, and any
direct revenue which the government
might derive from this source would
be Insignificant as compared with
the indirect benefits resulting from
Their use.

this and other countries, will tonight,
under the auspices of the Nordlys So
ciety, celebrate the anniversary of
the independence Of their native land.
The meetings will be held at Name
choir hall in the Scandinavian tongue.
Sunday is the exact date of the COM
memoration, but, as this is the regular
meeting night of the society, it has
been decided to hold the festivities at
that time. There will be an interest
ing program and reception, the adj
mission being free, and a general
good time is anticipated.
Bismarck has a number of Norwe.
gian citizens, who are among the best
residents of the city, and as patriotic
for the land of their adoption as any
native born. Therefore, all can join
in spirit with them in celebrating an
event which to them is as dear as the
Declaration of independence is to
those of us who know no other land
than America.

Supplement to Sanitary Code
Introduced and Passed on First
Reading by Commissioners.
FINES FOR vIOLATORS
Permits Must Be Secured and 81
Shall Be Paid for Each Wagon or
Store-AIiIk or Cream May Be De-
nvered to House Containing Con-
tagious Disease Only in Receptacles
Furnished by Occupants of House.

A supplement to the sanitary code
providing for the licensing of milk
and cream dealers was introduced
and passed on its first reading at a
meeting of the Board of Health In
the water departments room at city
hall last night.
Section IL provides that no person
shall sell or deliver milk or cream
without obtaining a permit. Section
12 provides that So shall be paid for
each permit for a wagon or depot.
Section 13 requires that each permit
be signed by the president and attest
ed by the clerk of the board. LII
censes will continue in force for one
year from date of issuance. Should
any of the rules of the board be vio-
lated the license may be revoked.
Section Ia states that milk or cream
must not be delivered to any house
which contains contagious disease in
receptacles furnished by the dealer,
but may be delivered In receptacles
furnished by the occupants. Section
15 provides that the name of the
dealer and his license number be let
tered on two sides of the wagon. Sec
tion 16 provides penalty of not less
than S6 and not more than $50 for
any violations.
This supplement will go into eff
feet as soon as passed and properly

matter. The president told of re-
cent trip to Trenton, which has an IN

notify MAIDS Christopherson in regard
to plumbing work in his house in
Lawrie street, near Neville. The
owner must discontinue putting down
tile pipe inside of the building lines,
and those put down must be removed.

in soil and vents, but no fixtures
until sewer has been laid in the
street.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, May 20:-The
case of Antonio Giorgioni, accused Of
the murder Of Nicola Nuzzi at Cliff
wood March 15, was continued be-
fore Justice Bergen this morning.
Testimony, being almost wholly
through an interpreter, is being talS4
en- very slowly this morning. 1t Is
expected the state will finish today
and the defense will be started.
It is claimed that Nuzzi threatens
ed the prisoner and that when the
murdered man was picked up after
being shot, revolver was found lying
beside him, the supposition being
that he had drawn 1t to shoot.
After the statement by Prosecutor
Berdine yesterday the first witness
called was County Engineer Morgan
F. Larson. He produced map or
Flange's boarding house to show the
scene of the tragedy.
Photographer Isaac Vanderveer
produced pictures Of the rooms and
of the house, which were admitted
in spite of Mr.. Silzer's objections.
County Physician J. Il. Suydam
| testified that he had examined Nuz-
zi's body March 16 and found a bul-
1 let wound one and half inches be-
low the collar bone and three and a
half inches to the left of the breast
bone. Part of the left lung was shot
away and the lung cavity was full OF
blood. The doctor found the track
of the bullet but no bullet. He es-
timated the calibre Of the bullet az
.32.
| Nychelina Nalipleane swore tha /
she carried a letter from Giorgionk
to Nuzzi's daughter, Raffel. She saill
she had never carried letter front
the girl. She said the girl told heR
1t gave her great pleasure to meet
Tony.
Raffel Nuzzi, the fourteen year old
daughter Of the dead man, was called
She looks older than she is, and has
rather striking appearance. She
was dressed In black The state ems
deavored to prove that because Nuz-
ri did not want Tony to pay atter4
tion to the girl, Tony shot him. This
defense does not deny this, but holds
1t as an element of its plea of selfa
defense. ~
Raffel said she had received a lets
ter from Tony before the shooting,
which she burned for fear her fathef
would see 1t. u
AS well as she could remember the
letter said;
"Your father treats me very badly.
What saw with my OWL eyes your
father don't love you as father
ought to love his children"
"And he said he wanted to maka
love to me-" said the girl.

No Evidence of Corruption on the
Part of the Electric Boat Company
Found-Declare Representative
LiIley Was the Instrument of the

the Electric Co., Loud INDICATED.
ecial bv United Press wire:

bpeCfdI 0r OnftoU t'T0SS Wtfo.
Washington, May 20:-The sub
marine investigation committee to-
day reported to the House clearing
the Electric Boat Company of any
charges of corrupt practices in secur-
ing legislation favoring itself.
The report arraigns Representa-
tive Lilley who brought the charges,
saying he allowed himself to be the
instrument of the Lake Boat Com
pany, the rival of the Electric Com
pany. 1t accuses him of acting in
bad faith and of violating his obliga-
tion as a member of the House and
of acting in contempt of the House.
The committee found that the res
olution asking for the investigation
was not introduced in good faith. 1t
declares he had no information to
sustain his charges, but endeavored,
through the investigation, to find
evidence. The figures he used as his
basis are said to be fictitious.
The charges against Representa-
tive Loud, of Michigan, are declared
to be unfounded.
Mr.. Lilley is severely censured
and 1t is declared the charges were
brought, not to bring an investigation
but to bring on legislation favoring
the Lake company.
The committee found that no Of
fetal member of congress or repre-
sentative of the press had been cor
rupted by the Electric company.
Mr.. Lilley's motives, as analyzed,
leads the committee to the conclu-
sion that the investigation was made
at the mitigation OF the Lake COM
pany. 1t declares his action through
out was inconsistent. The evidence
taken is carefully analyzed to show
that the charges are not sustained.
