Wants His Watch.-G. A. Jones, a
picture frame agent, proved the lamb
for slaughter when he met a dashing
young woman on the street last Sun
day evening and escorted her to the
chop suey establishment in the base
ment of the Palestine hotel, where they
had refreshments. Being somewhat
dry, Jones called for several bottles
of beer The waiter, Morris Hansen,
told him they had none as it was Sun
day and the lid was on. He volun.
teered, however, to go out and get
him some and this he did. In the
meantime Jones grew quite friendly
with his new found woman compan-
ion and when the beer was brought
each others company. The girl finally
"blowed" and Jones was left alone.
He returned to his hotel and then dis
covered that his SIS gold watch was
missing. He squealed to the police
and matters came to a climax yester-
day, when Jones went to Justice
Daum's Office and swore out an infor-
nation charging Hansen, the man who
secured the beer for him, with boot
Logging. He also threatens to make
trouble for numerous other persons in
case his watch is not returned.

Washington, June 12-That the
proposed fourteen-foot waterway from

of s15S,697,462 and maintained at an
annual cost of s7.120,000, was the
burden Of the report of the board of
engineers comprising the Mississippi
river commission to congress today.
The board, however. does not recon-
mend the construction of the water
way on the ground that the present
and prospective commerce of the wa
terway is not sufficient to warrant
more than an eight-foot channel
from Chicago to st. Louis and nine
foot channel from the mouth of the
Ohio to the gulf. w. l.. Marshall,
chief of engineers, also expresses
grave doubts about the maintenance
of that part of the proposed water
way between St. Louis and Cairo.
That the waterway can be built and
at a cost far below that asserted by

Furthermore, the engineers admit
that their report is incomplete and
