IS URGED ON THE WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE
 UNION BY DR. JANEY.
Declares That the Traffic of Girls t,as Become More Widespread than
 the Public Knew of.

Omaha, Neb.. Oct 25.-A stirring address by Dr. o. Edward Janney, of Baltimore, Md, chairman of the na- tional vigilance committee for the sup precision of the white slave traffic. was the most notable event of today's session of the thirty-sixth annual ccn- yention of the National Wonan's Christian Temperance Union.
 Dr. Janney declared that the traf. fic in girls had become even more widespread than the public imagines, reaching into every oagt of this coun- try and even across the ocean for vic t.ms, the main line of it's operation being from pMntreal, Boston and New York, westward through Buffalo to Pittsburg, Chicago, Omaha and Den yer, to San Francisco and Seattle.
 The federal government. he said, is doing all it can to suppress the traffic but is hampered by supreme court decision that this is a matter for the police power of the states to dNal with.
 He urged the members of the W. c T. U. to use their influence in their state legislatures to pass more dgas- tic laws on this subject.
 John Marshal. assistant attorney general of the state of Kansas. ad- dressed the convention on the ques- tion of the interstate traffic in liquor. He favored congressional enactment making it unlawful to ship liquor into prohibition territory. declaring that congress is barred by the constitution from delegating it's authority over in- terstate trade to the states. He said that Senator Curtis and Representa-. tive Miller of Kansas had promised to introduce the necessary bill at the next session of congress.
 After much debate a resolution sub mitted today by the official board amending the bylaws so as to prevent any member holding office of national organizer or lecturer and state presi- dent or national superintendent at the same time, was adopted.
 Tonight was Worlds w. c. T. U" night One of the notable speakers was Miss Ellen Malone, the mission ary whose abduction and ransom in southern Europe few years ago made her internationally known.
 Other speakers included representa- tives from many foreign countries. while greetings from many others were read.
 Tomorrow the convention will elect officers for the coming year.

MT. Taft declared that there was nc denying that the improvement of the waterways had been carried forward in haphazard fashion.
 "And right here" added the presi- dent q want to clear siIpposition which l am afraid has lodged in a good many minds"
 President Taft declared that his stand in favor of the issue of bonds for carrying out approved waterways imp oyement projects does not mean the opening of a "pork barrer' to send back any particular member of congress, or to make any particular section of the country prosperous dur ing the expenditure of the money.
 Let us take up each project on it's merits" he said, and determine by all means at our command whether the cInutry in which that project is to be caii3ed out is so far developed as t) justify the expenditure of large sum of money and whether the project will be useful when done.
 When you have determined that on the general principle of good to the eatise country, then am in favor or doing the work as rapidly as 1t can be done, and I ain in favor of Issuing bends to do it.
 Tt has been proposed that we issue bonds for $500,000 GOO or $l ,00O, ,000.. 900 and cut 1t up and parcel the mon- ey out in this and that section of the uunry. l am opposed to any such proposition. Because it not only smells of the pork barrel but would be a pork barrel."
 Referring to this sentiment Speak CT Cannon, addressing the gathering at the dedication or the new federal building In East St Louis later in the day. said:
 Tt is safe and sound outlining of a proper policy for us to pursue in this great middle west We have improv. ed the Mississippi in the past and we shall be improving 1t hundred years from now, when we shall need all our water courses. We, in this genera tion, will do our part wisely. We will not throw money into rivers to be washed into the sea. We shall do that first which needs doing most" The speaker endorsed the levee sys- tenn, congratulating East St. Louis on the completion of the river barriers. the dedication of which formed part of tfe days celebration. He predict ed that the Mississippi would yet be perm anently confined to it's banks throughout it's length and urged that the states adjoining the stream share the cost with the national govern ment.
 Just previous to the utterances of MT. Cannon. Governor Dineen of Hi nois had issued an official statement in which he asserted that the coming extraordinary session of the general assembly of that state would be ex- pected to enact legislation authoriz- ing the state officers to undertake i'm mediately the $20.0O0.o00 worth Of waterway improvement provided by the bond issue recently authorized ]. the electorate.

 President Taft's address was of thu bTiefest sort
 "I am here in Illinois merely to ex- TTess my congratulations on the evil dence of your prosperity and great ness.s he said T remember address ing similar audience here during the late presidential campaign. don't think that all my auditors agreed wlrh

a big plant at this place that will
employ nearly 400 men. Twenty acres
of land have been purchased from the
Rancho Los Medanos. The tract is To-
Gated directly east of the Bowers rub
ber factory and has frontage of 500
feet on New York slough. The con-
struction of wharf approach to the
foundry site is to commence immedi-
ately. the piles required being already
on hand. Rail connection with the site
is now afforded by spur track.
Surveyors are engaged in laying out
the locations for the buildings of the
steel plant The structures will be
steel framed. The Columbia steel COM
pany was recently incorporated for
$500. 600 in Nevada by c. A. Hooper,
c. NJ Gum, c. S. Cole, C. G. Dali Sum-
ner Crosby, A. NJ. Kidd and w E. Creed
The concern has taken over the works
and the good will of the Columbia steel
company of Portland Ore, and will
move the plant of that concern to Black
Diamond. The local brick plant may
be operated all winter to turn out fire
brick to be used in the construction
of the furnaces for the steel plant. An
order for $4,000 bricks for furnace pur-
poses is now being filled.

If the recommended tion of the chief
engineer is adopted the control OF
these bridges will be given to local
authorities. who will maintain them and
provide for their being opened 10 meet
the demands of navigation. This Will
open up San Leandro bay TO commerce.
which is considered of great Importance
to Oakland. It will also make possible
the rapid development of both shores
of the canal as factory sites, as 1T will
provide easy access by water.
The report of Colonel Biddle gives an
exhaustive history of the improvements
that have been made in Oakland har-
Dor since 1874. when the first appro-
pria tion for that purpose was passed
by congress. 1t also shows what 1t
is proposed to do in the near future.
The report estimates that 100000 is
needed for the completion of existing
projects, which consist chiefly of deep
ening and widening the channel In
Oakland harbor, from San Francisco
bay to the end of the tidal canal In
San Leandro bay. OF this amount 1t
is estimated that s315,00 can be profit
ably expended during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1911. Recommends
tion that this be the appropriation has
been made by the chief of engineers at

A determined effort will be made to

Reasons for Proposed

to San Francisco. If there is any an
nexing to be done, is the plan favored
by Judge Robert B. Tappan. The ties
that bind this city to its larger sister
municipality on the north side of the
estuary are closer, the ma gistrate
says. than the ties between Alameda
and San Francisco.
Why not annex TO beautiful Oak

find better governed municipality
Are we not bound to her by natural
ties? Is she not progressive and up to
date and strictly law abiding? We
have grown UP side by. side. and say
we would be doing her a great injus-
t1ce to ignore her as we have been do
ing since this matter of annexation has
been to the front / have read lot
in the local papers about annexation
to San Francisco, but very little has
been said about annexation to Oak

1T would be very fnconvenient If we
were ever to become part OF San
Francisco to cross San Francisco bay
TO pay our taxes or to buy dog tag.
If we are to save money by consol1- :
dation and thereby get rid of lot OF
officers we certainly will not save much
on taxes If we have to employ host
of subordinates TO transact the pubic

OAKLAND. Nov. PA recommenda-
tion that the bridges across the tidal
canal, now controlled by the United
States government, be turned over to
the local authorities is incorporated in
the report of the chief of engineers at
Washington, copy of which has been
received in Oakland. This recon-
mendation comes as the result of a re-
cent report by Colonel John Biddle, en-
gineer of the Pacific division, who
made an exhaustive study of conditions
in Oakland harbor.
According to the chief engineers re-
port demand has arisen comm ercfally
for the opening of the canal to naviga-
tion. but the bridges form an impedi-
ment to such use.
Three draw bridges were constructed
across the canal when il was cut
through from San Leandro bay to the
eastern arm of the estuary. One was
placed al Park street. another al Fruit
vale avenue and the third at High
street. The latter was burned down re-
Gently No attempt has ever been made
to provide for their opening TO permit
the passage of ships and they have
been constantly kept closed. Much
traffic passes over the Park street
bridge which connects East Ookland
with the business section of Alameda
The Fruitvale avenue bridge is used by
