DEEPER WATERWAYS
TO Be URGED
ADVOCATES OF IMPROVEMENT
WILL ENDEAVOR TO HAVE
APPROPRIATION MADE.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE predomi-
OF general river and harbor appro-
priation bill are making every effort
to have such a measure presented at
this session of congress. While the
general schemes for the Atlantic
deeper waterways" project and the
"Lakes-to-the- Gulf" deeper water
ways" projects are not ready for con-
sideration by congress, the Ohio river
project is in such shape as to require
only the money necessary for COM
mencing the work.
1t Is very likely that an emergency
measure will be reported by the house
committee on rivers and harbors If it
should decide not to report a general
appropriation bill. This measure Is to
provide funds for urgency projects in
course OF construction. The commit
tee will meet a committee on Monday
to decide, If possible, what course it
will pursue with reference to rivers
and harbors improvements. President
Ransdell, Louisiana, president Of the
rivers and harbors congress and q
member of the house committee on
rivers and harbors will introduce a
resolution within few days which will
provide for joint commission similar
in purpose to the national moentary
commission, which will be empowered
to employ experts and visit the coun-
tries of Europe in order to give con-
gress complete information with re-
gard to the policies of other nations in
improving waterways

NATIONS HESITATE
TO INTERFERE
POWERS FEEL A DELlCAcY IN
Disturbing THE POLL
CIEs OF CHINA.

Washington Jan. 1.-THE advocates
mating reason that has influenced the
American and British ministers at
Pekin in abandoning their project for
a protest by the powers against any
disturbance of the present policy of
the Chinese government Is believed
here to be largely that of delicacy
which the governments interested have
felt about approaching the Chinese
on the subject. 1t was difficult to
anticipate how any representations
along this line might he received, for
it is realized that the Chinese are
sensitive on the questions of any init
nations which convey the impression
that they are not capable of manag-
ing their own affairs. There was a
question also whether these would
have been excusable, Notwithstanding
the great interests the governments,
and particularly that of the United
States, have in the preservation of
of its progressive policy in view of the
fact that there have been no serious
results following Yuan's dismissal and
no reactionary tendencies have marked
the administration of the Chinese gov
eminent. Great reliance is placed by
the state department in LANG as min
lister of foreign affairs, and it is hoped
that the influences that he may be
able to exert may go far toward hav-
ing deterrent effect in preventing
any decidedly backward steps, at least
so far as the present policy of China
is concerned.

Belle took Lamrock out of the dance

We divided the money. / got $3.50,
Terry took $3.50 and $50 was to

Monty and he told me that no trouble
would come of it, but If l seid any
thing about it, he would make it hot
for me. I couldn't swear that Monty
knew that the robbery was going to
take place. When Reeves was at
Riepetown rounding up the boys,
Sheard told me not to be afraid and
not to say anything. During the
hearing Attorney Murphy objected to
great many of the questions and
kept the attorneys for the state look
ing up authorities. The hearing was
adjourned until Monday at 10 a. m.,
at which time Belle White will be the

NEW YORK. March 6.-R. G
Dun's Weekly Review of Trade says:
Already the price readjustments
are beginning to work toward the ex-
pected improvement in demand and
this and President Taft's inaugural
declarations favorable to that meas
ure of stability" which is essential
to the life and growth of all business
are important contributions to finan.
cial and trade confidence and making
stronger the hope of full industrial
recovery.
Both in sentiment and amount of
new business in sight the iron and
steel trade shows some gain.
In spite of the upward tendency of
raw materials, buyers of cotton goods
make a determined effort to secure a
lower level of quotations. No new
business is reported in ,woolen goods.
The demand for hides continues
slack with further seasonable weak
ness in prices on both packer and
country hides. The dry hide market
is quiet. The leather trade is still
dull and unsatisfactory.

WALTER WHITE GOES THROUGH
DETAILS OF ONE VICIOUS JOB
AT RIEPETOVN-C AID.
JOURNED UNTIL TOMORROW.

The preliminary hearing of George
Sheard, constable at Riepetown;
Monty Montgomery. deputy constable,
Belle White and William Terry,
charged with assaulting and robbing
John Lamrock, was commenced be-
fore Judge Cartwright yesterday
morning. When the defendants were
asked if they were ready to proceed
with trial, Sheard informed the court
that they had made arrangements
with Attorneys Coleman and McEl-
roy to represent them but the attor-
neys demanded 500 before going
into court and the defendants were
unable to produce the money and
were without counsel. The court
postponed their hearing until 2 p. m.
in order to give them an opportunity
to procure counsel. Belle White was
then asked by the district attorney
if she desired to enter a plea. She
said she did and plead guilty. Asked
if she cared to make statement, she
answered no.
At p. m. Attorney F. x. Murphy
was present to represent the defend
ants. Attorney Zurich is assisting
the district attorney in the hearing
and Attorney Mckay was sworn in
as the official court stenographer.
The court room was crowded to the
doors and standing room at prem
ium. The court ordered all witnesses
to leave the court room and make
themselves at home in the sheriff's
office.
John Lamrock, the man who was
knocked down and robbed, was first
called. He stated he was a miner at
on the night. of February 8. There
he met Belle White in Kitty's dance
hall. They drank and he said he
was going to lunch. The woman
said she would go with him. They
went out of the back door, the wo-
man ahead two or three steps. Across
the street and back of the building
near Sadie Leonard's restaurant, two
men jumped out and one of them
struck him between the eyes, knock
ing him down. After he was down
he was struck again and robbed of
pocketbook containing paper money
and some silver. He said he came to
Riepetown with $125, but had spent
some for drinks. Did not remember
how much he had when knocked
down. The person who struck him
covered his face with snow. He was
unconscious for some time. When he
came to he went to the Finlanders
saloon, where he told of his having
been robbed. A Swede went for the

American Mining Men In
Mexico Placed Under
Arrest After Battle
With High Graders.
KILLED ONE AND SERIOUSLY
WOUNDED THREE-AMERICA
TOO QUICK WITH GUN UPSET
PREARRANGED PLANS.

GUANAJ UATO, March 6.-In a
battle between H. H. Smith, F. w.
Updegraf and J. Wood, American Of
& Mines Co., and band of Mexican
ore thieves, one Mexican was killed
and three seriously wounded. The
Americans were thrown in Jail pend
ing investigation of the affair.
The American vice consul has ta-
ken the matter up and will do all
that is possible to secure the release
of the men at the earliest possible
date. However, under the laws of
Mexico arrests are always made of
those held responsible for the taking
of life, either through accident or
Intentionally and there is a certain
amount of formality that is rigidly
adhered to in cases before release is
made. 1t is not expected that the
release of the men involved in the
present trouble can be secured under
several days.
AS the case is stated here unofficial
ly, Smith, Updegraf and Wood and
the management of the reduction
and mining company had for some
time been aware that the property
was being Systematically robbed. The
three men named were last week del
egated to keep watch for the thieves
and effect their capture. In the ex-
citement of the moment when dis
cOvery was made of the thieves in
the act of carrying off ore, Updegrat
is said to have lost his head and COM
menced shooting, regardless of other
plans which had previously been de-
termined upon for effecting capture.
The fire was responded to and fu-
silade from each side followed. 1t
is not believed the Mexican officials
will hold the Americans for minute
after they get to the bottom of the
facts.
