TAFT AMONG SPEAKERS.
Atlantic Deeper Waterways Assoeia-
ton Convention at Norfolk, Va.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 17.-Advocates OF
the project for an inland waterway
along the Atlantic coast from New
England To Florida rallied here in
force today for the second annual con-
vention OF the Atlantic Deeper Wat
crways association. The project calls
for an inside passage by water through
existing canals and rivers, a distance
of about 1 800 miles down the Atlantic
coast, so as to afford "A sheltered route
for coastwise shipping between Bos-
ton and the Gulf of Mexico.
Work has been commenced under
contract upon a section of this water
way between Norfolk and Beaufort
S. c. The War Department has also
granted authority TO private com
pany TO cut a canal through Cape
Cod. and actual work there is under
way. The principal argument i'm IA
vor of the proposed waterway is the
avoidance of outside danger points
like Cape Cod, Cape Hatteras and the
several shoals along the coast.
Interest in the present convention
is heightened by the fact that Presi-
dent Taft is to be one of the speak
ers. Friday has been designated as
presidents Day" when IL is expected
that $4,000 or more visitors will be IN
Norfolk TO hear the Presidents ad-
dress and witness the demonstration
in his honor. Land and water parad-
es will be features of the days pro-
gram. The President viii review
the military parade and will ther
make an address upon waterways, be-
ing introduced by Governor Swanson
of Virginia.
In addition TO the President the con-
vention speakers will include Angus
Belmont of New York. Rear Admira

FORMER SEATTLE OFFICIAL
ACCUSED OF FMBEZz[fMEN1
John Riplinger, Charged With EN-
Week and He and His Friends Be-
lieve He Will be Exonerated-Care
less Accounting is Blamed.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 17.-Much in
terest is being manifested i'm the trial,
scheduled to begin next week of John
Riplnger. former city comptroller and
at one time republican candidate for
mayor of Seattle, who is accused Of
the embezzlement of city funds Ever
since Riplinger returned voluntarily
to the city last spring after three
years exile i'm Central America il has
been known that powerful influences
were at work to sidetrack the prosecu-
ton of the charges made against him.
All of his close friends and former po-
litical associates seem to share his
confidence in the result of the coming
trial.
Riplngcr disappeared from Seattle
in the spring of 1906 a few days after
he had been defeated for mayor by
William III. Moore by a narrow mar
gin of fifteen votes. The discovery
that his accounts were wrong was not
made public until May 1907, and at
that time 1t was presumed that his
defalcation amounted to $3.50. Ex-
perts who were employed by the city,
however are said to have found that
the shortage amounted to nearly $7o,-
600.
Riplingcr's alleged shortage is said
TO have been brought about largely
through a careless system of account
ing. The city comptroller had been In
the habit of receiving money from
contractors in order that they might
draw down the full amount of the i'm
provement district bonds. The city
charter provides that this money
should be paid into the treasury. and
when an inspection of the books and
tho accounting system was made it
was found that for the entire period
during which Riplinger was comptrol-
Ter he had accepted the money. some
of which was converted into treasury.
while other payments were not ac-
cording to experts. The books OF the
comptroller were investigated by a
firm of expert accountants, but their
work was hindered to great extent
by the fact that they were unable TO
find many of the books and accounts
touching the particular fund from
which most of the money was declared
to be missing.
Not until nearly two years after
Riplingcr had disappeared from Seat
tie did his whereabouts become
known. Then II was learned that he
had settled in Honduras. where ne
had bought LARGE and profitable
plantation. Shortly afterward he re-
turned to Seattle unannounced and
declared that he had come back TO
answer the criminal charges that
might be made against him.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE Fourth Pres
byterian church was the scene of a
quiet but highly fashionable wedding
this afternoon when Miss Phoebe Eek
els. daughter of the late james II
Eckles. former controller of the cur
rency and, az the time of his death a
banker in this city became the bride
of John Archibald Stevenson "A veal
thy clubman. only members OF the
families Of the couple and a few init
mate friends were present at the
church and attended the reception at
the house of the brides mother. on
East Elm street. After an extended
son will return TO Chicago.
The wedding gift of. the. bridegroom
was one of rare magnifcence. 1t con-
sisted i'm the beautiful country man
sion at Oconomowoc, Wis, originally
built by the brides father, and upon
which he spent large fortune. A
charming little romance is back OF
that gift. The Stevenson and Eckles
families were neighbors on Prairie
avenue before Mr.. Eckles died and
young Stevenson and Miss Eckics
grew up together. Their childish friend
ship ripened into love as they advanced
in years. After Mr. Eckles' death young
Stevenson, who is a Yale man. and a
member of the Saddle and Cycle and
the University clubs of Chicago, asked
for his former playmate's hand. 1t was
then that Mrs. Eckles informed him
that the estate of her deceased husband
was greatly involved and that the
claims against the estate exceeded
the assets by nearly one million dol
lars
Mr.. Stevenson told the mother that
II wasn't money he cared for. but Miss
Phoebe. He wanted her even II she
were penniless. After the engagement
Mr.. Stevenson represented the interests
of Mrs and Miss EclIles and it was due
to his efforts that a handsome compe-
tency was saved out of the financial
wreck for Mrs. Eckles. The Oconomo-
woe property, one of the finest show
places in the Lac LaBelle region, which
Mrs. Eckles was forced to give up
shortly after her husbands death,
would have been sold at auction, had
not Mr.. Stevenson bid it in, to give IL
to his bride as n wedding present.

PLANS ARMY UNIFORMITY.
Great Britain to Train Canadian Force
Like Soldiers in ENGLAND.

London, Nov. 17.-Observant Jap
anese In this country have declared
in print that they see "a chaotic sky
in the west" There are not wanting
students of foreign affairs who see
just now an equally chaotic sky" in
the east.
Both the Australians and the Can
adams. together with New Zealand in
lesser degree, are eagerly pushing
forward arrangements with the war
office for the formation of an imperial
general staff, which will be followed
by an army for the empire, furnish
ed by the empire.
The proposals some months ago
formulated by the war office, in con-
junction with the representatives OF
Canada and Australia, with a view to
the organization of general staff Tor
the empire, have been substantially
adopted by the governments of the
oversee dominions. The result VIII
be that their military forces will be
trained on the same principles as the
army In England and in India, while
the officers will be educated on iden-
tical lines, the staff officers and mil
itary instructors being uniformly pre-
pared for their work at the staff col
lege at Camberloy.
In future, soldering in Canada, or
Australia. or New Zealand will be
the same thing, substantially. as
soldering in England. and the forces
of the dominions will be qualified not
only for defense. but for service as
integral parts of one huge British
army in any quarter within or with
out the empire.
sir Robert Hart, the great in
spector general of the Chinese I'M
rerial maritime customs, who has
been III in England. will return to
his post in Pekin In the spring,
though he is now well over 20. He
hoped to spend the evening OF his
days here. but the moist climate at
home does not suit him.

CHANCE TO BUY RAILROADS.
Geo. Williams, Of Calumet, is Inter
viewed in Milwaukee Recently.

A Milwaukee paper publishes the
following interesting interview with
George Williams. who recently visit
ed in that city on business:-
IF there are any Milwaukeeans who
are pining to become railway mag
mates they can be accommodated in
the upper peninsula of Michigan next
month, when two very respectable rail-
roads are to be sold in the usual man
ner at the front door OF courthouse
for taxes" said George Williams,
Houghton. travelling freight and pas
senger agent Of the Copper Range
road.
"The roads are the Manistique and
Lake Superior railway and Northern,
and the Wisconsin and Michigan, in
which Banker John r. Walsh of Chi
cago was so heavily interested. Singu-
larly enough, both of these roads dip
into the carferry business on a big
scale the Manistique roads carferry
'Manistique since sold to one of the
carferry lines running out of Milwau-
kee. costing over $5OO,00 At the time
It was built II. B. Metheany and other
Grand Rapids and Indiana officials
were at the head of the little upper
peninsula road and there were all sorts
of rumors about the Pennsylvania
road being behind the enterprise, which
was to provide an all-rail route from
the iron mines of the Marquette range
to the furnaces of Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania.
"The most logical bidder for this
road at the tax sale would be
the Cleveland cliffs company, as the
road would prove valuable link in
that company's system of roads, the
Munising railway, the Marquette and
Southeastern and the Lake Superior
and Ishpeming roads, with headquar-
ters at Marquette.
The Wisconsin and Michigan road
runs from Peshtigo harbor, in Mari
nette county. Wisconsin, through to
Norway on the Menominee iron range,
in Dickinson county, Michigan, 1S4
miles of which eighty-one are i'm
Marinette county, Wisconsin. thirty in
Menominee county. Michigan, and
twenty-four in Dickinson county, Mich
igan. This road, too, had its car
ferry fleet, great barges on which ore
cars were towed to the furnaces az
South Chicago. There were four boats
at one time but all have been sold
except one. which will be knocked
down with the road to the highest
bidder for the s44.57919 of overdue
taxes.
"This road was started about thirty
years ago as a logging road by John
Bagley, one of the big Chicago lum-
bermen. He sold IT when he turned
his attention to southern pine and II
fell into the hands of men who planned
the carferry route To the Illinois Steel
company's furnaces from the mines
of the Menominee range. Unlike the
Manistique road, the Wisconsin and
Michigan has been looked upon as a
remunerative property, as II runs
through rich timber country and In
addition. had the iron ore traffic which
the other road lacked.
It's a great opportunity. as / sug-
gested, for some one who wants TO
get finger into the transportation
business by becoming n railroad pres
ident. The Manistique road will be
sold at the front door OF the courthouse
In Manistique In December. while the
Wisconsin and Michigan will expert
ence the same fate at one of the
county seats through which 1t passes
