BALTIMORE, Nov. 1S.-Gifford
Pinchot, chief of the forest service,
made an address this afternoon be-
fore the Atlantic Deep Waterways
Association. He said: THE success
of the development OF waterways,
both coasts and interior depends on
whether we take the question in a
broad way Loss to no section can be
the gain of another. The time for de-
veloping the individual rivers has
gone. long since learned to adopt a
single guage for the railroads of the
United States and we are coming to
see the time pass to scatter the water
way improvements over such stretches
of time and place so that they are out
of place before completed The way
to build waterways is to build them
with a system under a great compre-
hensive plan and get the benefit of
them. When all interests are concern
ed In the Improvement of waterways
that means every interest in the ma.
tion-unite in demanding their de-
velopment under an immediate uni.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1s.-The names Of

may not be known, according to a
statement of President Niblack of the
Title Trust company and receiver in
bankruptcy for Van Vlessingen. He
will not publish the list contained In
the secret card index forgeries unless
forced to do so. One of the strange
things discovered in Van Vlissingen's
objects was a book commenting on the
case of Paul o. Stensland, now In
prison for bank wrecking. He says:
"It is not to be supposed that Stems
land deliberately resolved to rob the
poor people trusting him. Such is
not the history of defaulter. His
downfall begins with a trivial irreg-
ularity. Again you y ,eld to temptation
and find you have done nobody harm
and that goes on until finally forced to
choose between forgery or wreck his
hopes. Then the time comes when
hope of restitution is gone and he
faces conviction as a common felon.
Cropping down to bedrock character
chooses whether to pass the remainder
of life fugitive of justice or make a
clean breast of it and serve justly the
earned sentence"

do things in one district which may
be illegal in another.
