gHBrfwht HusiAsss Prospects.
Tho history Of Mr.. scheerer. since
assuming the position as head of the
Union National Bank seven years ago,
is but recital OF the Industrial and
financial development OF Newark In
the past decade. and being In a COM
manding position to study the business
affairs OF the nation at large and New
Jersey In particular. he was asked by
tho STAR representative to state his
Views before sailing.
"The prospect for the future of this
country said Mr.. Scheerer. SIS bright.
Confidence is shared by all who are In
position to study conditions as they
actually exist, and the better posted
tho man the more confidence he has.
Railroads are taking up improvements
which had been temporarily aban-
doned, manufacturers are enlarging
their plants. labor is in demand and the
country seems to have reassumed its
normal pace"
Asked concerning local affairs, Mr.
Scheerer continued:
"The manufacturing and building in
dustries are on the mend, as even the
most casual observer must realize, and
the development along these lines in
the next four or five years will surprise
even the sanguine. The improvement
in transit facilities between Newark
and New York. due to the several tun-
nels now nearing completion, Will be
great factor In bringing about this de-
velopment. Newark. with its diversi-
fed interests, must be one of the first
cities Of this country to respond to
any material improvement and will
continue to grow and flourish as the
nation's prosperity becomes more
marked, and should soon rank among
tho leading cities of the United States"
Mr.. Scheerer may return from Eu-
rope with former Judge Gottfried
Kruger, Who sailed recently.

ffNEY PAID FOR SERVICES He
never RENDERED is THE CRY
(By Associated Press. J

WASHINGTON, July 19.-That
Francis j. Heney, special counsel. of
the department of justice, also as
sistant prosecutor in the so-called
graft cases in San Francisco, re-
ceived from the government last
year $23, for which he perform
ed no services, was the frank adj
mission of Chairman Tawney of the
appropriations committee in the
house today ''As a matter of fact, "
said Tawney," Heney hasn't per-
formed any active service for the
last three years. He was appointed
November z, 1908, and his active
service continued about three years,
for which he received in all $69,-
000." Clark of Missouri denounced
the appointment of incompetent dis
trict attorneys which necessitates
special counsel. ''The practice had
grown into fad, and very eX-
pensive fad" He declared If there
had been a competent district at
torney or two in the west, there
wouldn't have been so much steal
ing of public lands: Mann, of Illi-
nois said that Heney needed no de-
fense. "The only people who OPP
posed him." he remarked, "are
those who sympathize with some OF
those who have been accused, If not
convicted of graft"

KNOX SMITH FILES HIS REPORT

dition of water terminals Ito be
treated more fully in another part
of the report, now in preparatory
matter of the highest Importance
in transportation. Terminal i'm,
provement on waterways is one of
the first requirements, and is en-
tirely possible.
1t is noted that European coun
tries have in many cases distributed
the cost of waterway improvement
upon localities in some ratio with
special benefits received, while very
little of that sort has been done in
this country. The report also sets
forth the steady advance of steam
over sail power, and the tendency
toward corporate ownership oil
steam tonnage, especially the larger
vessels. In 1906 the average size
of vessel owned by individuals was
lib tons, and by corporations 526
tons. Operating expenses, so far as
obtained, averaged about 80 per cent
of the gross earnings. The Lowest
ration of operating costs was on the
bulk cargo vessels of the Great
Lakes, the highest that of the pack
ct lines on the Mississippi system
and southern rivers.
This report will be of great value
in the present movement for an in
telligent and effective improvement
of the country's waterways. i

points out, is broad economic de-

he gives some of the reasons for
this condition.
Through" freight constitutes a
great part of the country's traffic.
A reasonable share of such through

the water system. Inland water
ways cannot prosper generally on
merely local traffic. But the water
