states as far south as Louisiana.
Hall Prettily Decorated.
Twenty men were kept at work getting
the show in readiness all last night. The
hall is handsomely decorated with the
flags of all nations. The handsome plum
age OF some of the birds rivals the bril-
lance of the decorations.

fanciers visited the show this morning

pressions Of approval for the manner in
which the committee In charge has ar
ranged the exhibition. The show will

waterways Convention

road ownership of coastwise shipping
lines, and for the re-establishment of the
American merchant marine.
Other speakers were the Hon. John
Barrett, director of the International bu-
reau of American republics; Charles He
Der Clark of Philadelphia and Frank de
la Lanpe president of the national board
of trade, who advocated prevention of
foreign interests monopolizing coastwise
traffic.
President Moore In his address took the
general ground that the comprehensive
plan of waterway development as II af-
fected transportation WAS a problem
which, since the passage of the new
tariff bill, had taken rank as of greater
Importance than the establishment of a
safe and same currency.
The speaker touched upon the hustle and
securing congressional aid for internal
| improvements. He pointed out the prog
ress that had been made by the society
| and spoke of the decided interest awak-
| ened in the project of deeper water
way along the Atlantic coast. Most OF
the work of the engineers in making the
survey of the 1900 miles along the coast
had been completed. He closed with
an appeal to eastern business men, bring

the Organization.
Leaders in the movement called atten-
ton to the deep interest and seriousness
of purpose evidenced in the proceed
ings of the body.
The tenor of the remarks of the prin-
cipal speakers was that the waterways
movement Is not local issue. In fact,
one of the speakers, Representative Jo-
seph E. Ransdell of Louisiana, president
of the national rivers and harbors con-
gress, said that tire Atlaatic inland proj-
| eet would not be successful unless other
similar movements are taken into con-

law. In one letter President Schoonmaker
. expressed himself:

quests for interviews, but have been de-
MED in a dignified way. / sent you a

Referring to the advance of prices an
other letter says;

but it is not safe to go any further just

will be argued tomorrow. preparatory to

e. McCants, editor of the Hartford Times
Herald, dated November Is.
Dear Friend: Your letter is received.
My friends in different parts of the dis
trict have expressed to me a desire to
know how ] shall vote ON the pend
ing amendment to our constitution. Some
of these friends favor, and some of them
oppose the amendment. I have not here
tofore made any public announcement on
the subject nor have I been in conr-
munieation with any campaign commit
tee.
OF course this amendment involves no
federal question and does not relate to
my duties as your representative in Con-
gress. I was chosen representative by
q united people, These good people are
now divided among themselves upon a
matter not contemplated when they elect
ed me. I believe that it is not my duty
to do anything which would accentuate
the present differences among the peo-
pie. have thought and now think that
I owe a proper regard and consideration
for the opinions of my friends on both
sides of this question. However, you
and many others have desired me to say
how I shall vote and 1 think 1 owe 1t
to you to tell you.
"As a citizen 1t is my privilege and
highest duty to vote In this election as
my judgment and conscience dictate. This
right you claim for yourself. l know
this letter will not change your vote
and you know l would not challenge
your right to cast your ballot as your
Judgment and conscience suggest. I have
not been able to bring myself to the
conclusion that 1t is my duty to support
the amendment On the contrary, | feel
constrained to vote against it. 1t Is not
