CRUSH THE EVIL OUR

Joseph j. Cannon.
Representative elect Joseph j. Can
non is not only opposed to a removal
Of the red light district, but yigor-

suchinstitutions in any part of the city.
Said Mr. Cannon today:
Some people have known that the
mayor was the force behind the stock
ado movement from it's beginning, but
even these We're shocked at the bold
official approval he has Just given and
NE amazing plan he has conceived Of
removing heads of departments or any

RIVERS AND
.HARB0Rs CONGRESS

Washington, Dec. 9.--One of the most
notable gatherings ever assembled in
the history of this country in the in
terest of waterway development was
called to order today when the ma
tional rivers and harbors congress met
in fourth annual convention.
Senators. representatives, diplomats,
captains OF finance, governors of many
states and others high in official life
were present.
Representative Joseph A. Ransdell OF
louisiana, president of the congress
delivered an address, the keynote Of
which was the need OF immediate leg
islation looking to the Improvement OF
the waterways of the country,
Il am convinced he declared, that
we should insist in the strongest man.
ner, both In the resolutions of our con-
yention and elsewhere, upon the prompt
passage of large river and harbor bill
at this session of Congress, and upon
the committal of Congress to a broad.
liberal policy of waterway inpro, a.
'ments and an annual river and harbor
bill carrying not less than $50,000,00O.
He recommended the creation Of n
commission of nine members to study
waterways and suggest to Congress a
plan for improving them.
LIZ GAlGllhliiE ~ sliic SOIBEeESH a cor
dial welcome to the city of Washing
ton, Vice President Charles w. Fnir-
banks said it was perfectly obvious
that the Improvement of our water
ways had not kept abreast OF our in
dustrial needs and our national prog
ress. He said that, as much of the
benefit to be derived from expenditures
for the purpose would be for the flu
ture, a reasonable share of the amount
should be provided for by a bond issue.
The success of so vast an undertak-.
+ ing, in his Judgment would depend
upon the dissemination of accurate in
formation as to the need and cost Of
work and upon the arouSing of intelli-
gent interest in it among the people.
James Bryce, British ambassador in
the course of an address, said the ca
nails are of the greatest Importance for
the carrying of heavy freight. He be-
lieved that far from being hostile to
the railroads they are a positive adj
vantage to them. Nature has given

larger river system than exists any

New York, Dec. e-A1orc than score
of persons We're injured, live of them
seriously, and a hundred more were
thrown into a panic early today when
q bomb was hurled into the air shaft
of the tenement house at $50 West SIX
ty-third street. The house was badly
wrecked. 1t was occupied exclusively
by Italians. and it developed that
threatening letters had been received by
many OF them during the last few
months.
The explosion was terrific. The CON
cussiop shook buildings for blocks away.
The air shaft down which the bomb
was thrown is lined with sleeping rooms
ron one side and bath rooms on the
other. Practically all OF those injured
were asleep in the bed rooms.
Plaster and bricks. mixed with Jagged
pieces OF glass from the shattered vim
dows were hurled into the sleeping
rooms with frightful force and some of
those injured were found half-buried
and unconscious under the debris piled
on their beds.
Ii was more than an hour before the
excited men and women, who thronGed
the surrounding streets. could be quiet
ed and induced to return 10 their homes.

] DISCUSSED TARIFF REVISION.
Evident Satisfaction Of the Judge TAX
cnto Mean That Things We're
Coming Ills Way

Washington. Dec 9--Presdent-
eject Taft and Speaker Cannon to-
day had a conference of an hour ana
Il half ut the Boardman residence
where Mr. Taft is Il guest AT its
conclusion each participant announce
ed that arrangements had been made
Whereby Mr.. Taft was to meet the
committee on ways and means to-
morrow afternoon after which a
statement would be issued.
Until this statement is made MI.
Taft said he and Mr. Cannon had
agreed not to discuss what has taken
satisfaction with which Mr.. Taft OK
planned the situation was taken as
an evidence that matters We're very
much to his liking.
1t is known, OF course, that the
subject under discussion between
Messrs, Taft and Cannon was the
forthcoming revision of the tariff. re-
garding which Mr.. Taft has declined
himself most positively in favor of q
thorough revision.
y
said concerning the details of the pro-
posed tariff legislation. but that the
converse ton dealt entirely with the
broad principles involved in that legs-3
lation. Mr.. Taft and the speaker pro-
ceedcd upon the express understanding
4 that they had come together as the
representatives Of two coordinate
branches of the government and what
ever difference in details in the
future may. develop, If any, today's
discussion was on the friendliest pos
ssible basis.
1.-The understanding, 50 far as theie5
was any, was that the presidents part
in the preparation of Il new tariff
would be confined to such suggestions
as he might desire to make, and lie
was assured that while these would
be listened to by the house with every
possible consideration, he was not led
to believe that the house would aban-{
don it's prerogative III the preparation
OF the new law. Nor was there any
indication on Mr.. Taft's part that he
would expect or desire itto$do SO.
~ Both agreed tfrat he --tartf s1pIIid
DO revised and that the reTisica slsos.la
be along the lines indicated by the
tariff plank Of the Republican plat
form. Neither indicated a desire to
depart from protective principles IN
II work to come
When urged for a statement concern
ing the Interview, Speaker Cannon re-
piled that owing to the fact that lie
had met Mr.. Taft at the lattcr's re-
quest he could say nothing.

COMMITTEE AGAINST
FOUR BATTLESHlP. PLAN


Washington, Dec. s.-While the house
committee on naval affairs has not
given formal consideration to the pro-
posed increase in the navy, it was
learned today that the members of the
committee stand practically the sans
as last winter. when an authorization
for two battleships was made. That
the committee will vote down the pro-
position of President Roosevelt for four
battleships is now indicated.
The attitude of the leaders in the
senate declaring for an appropriation
for two battleships annually is said to
appeal to many members of the house
and a majority of the membership is
willing to have such a policy approved
in the house.
1t is said that the naval committee
will vote down the suggestion from the
navy department for an appropriation
for cruisers, but that it win grant ths
request for number of Golfers.
