President Addresses Rivers
and HarbOrS Congress.
FOR IMPROVING WATERWAYS.
He Would Confne Work to That
Recommended by Army Engi-
: neers on Mississippi, Mis-
; souri, and Ohio Rivers.

Washington, Dec. e.-President Taft
opened the first session Of the national
rivers and harbors congress here with
an address in which he outlined def
nitely for the first time the extent
which he thinks is desirable and to
which he believes congress will go in
carrying out the comprehensive plans
Of the congress for the general i'm
provement of the waterways Of the
country.
While the president reiterated his be-
lief that bonds should be issued for
waterway improvements, he said that
they should not be primarily issued
for these improvements, but only to
carry ON work which has been under
taken by direct appropriations and
which could not be finished on account
of reduced revenue.
The president said that he believed
the work Of general waterway i'm
provements should be confined for the
present to the recommendations Of the
army engineers on the Mississippi, the
Missouri and the Ohio river between
st. Paul, st. Louis, Pittsburg, Cairo,
New Orleans and other cities, which,
he declared. would benefit larger Sec
ton Of the country than any other
projects suggested.
President Taft said that it was no
secret that the chairman Of the rivers
and harbors committee Of the house,
who had most to do with the initia-
tion of projects in congress, was fully
charged with the necessity Of doing
something to begin a policy with re-
spect to the Missouri, Mississippi and
Ohio rivers between st. Paul and st.
Louis, st. Louis to Cairo. Pittsbprg to-
Cairo and from Cairo to New Orleans.
''These improvements" said the pres
ident, "are in the heart Of the country,
improvements that reach to more
states than any that can be mentioned
in the entire country. They affect not
only the states along whose borders
the improvements will be made, but
all the states that border on the Mis-
sissippi and beyond"
President Taft, referring to the ad-
vocates of fourteen foot channel in
the Mississippi, said that the engi-
neers' recommendation for a nine foot
channel should be followed up and
when this was obtained fourteen foot
channel might be secured. What /
am urging, what 1 am laboring for"
he said, "is something practical in the
way of moderate project in order
that you may go on and gradually de-
velop a larger project than was in
your minds at the initiation"
In conclusion the president said:
81 am in thorough sympathy with
the general object which you seek
here, the development Of the water
ways of the country by a general poll
cy in such a way as to reduce and con-
troll railroad rates and in such a way
as to stimulate on the bosoms of the
waters of the country the transporta-
tion of such merchandise as is pecul-
iarly fitted for carriage by that
means"

Her Aunt the Only Relative Present at

New York, Dec. 9.-The body of Mrs
Ocey W. NJ. Snead, about whose death
by drowning in the bathtub of bare
house in East Orange on Nov. % there
still exist questions unsolved by the
police. was buried above a casket con-
tanning the body Of her infant daugh-

chester county.
Mrs. Mary Snead, aunt of the dead
woman and one of the four elderly
women who have figured in the un-
raveling of the circumstances of her
mysterious death, was the only rela-
tive at the graveside.
Mrs. Mary Snead did not attend the
brief funeral services that were held
earlier in the day. She had been told
that her presence in New Jersey might
lead to her being held as witness
by the authorities, and 1t was not un-
til after the body of her niece had
been brought to the New York side
that Mrs. Snead, accompanied by
Franklin w. Fort, attorney for the ac-
cused. Miss Virginia Wardlaw, left
her room at 466 West Twenty-second

jury only upon such evidence as has
been turned down to his office by the
superintendent Of insurance. Mr.. Je-
rome's office will now wait before pro-
ceeding to further grand jury inquiry
upon the Offering of further evidence
of irregularity.
The New York district attorney has
no official knowledge that Mr.. Sheldon
is Ill or of the extent or seriousness Of
his illness. The usual routine of extra
dition is therefore to be gone through.
OF course If he is dying he will not be
removed to this state. In the mean
time Mr.. Sheldon's house is being ade-
quately guarded.
The testimony ON which the indict-
ment was found was to the effect that
Sheldon used the companys funds on
four occasions for his own speculative
purposes. One transaction involved
$4,000, and there were three other
transactions of $4,000 each.
Mr.. Sheldon conducted speculative
account, purporting to be on behalf of
the company, with the brokerage firm
of Carter, Wilder & Co., with which
he deposited securities of the company.
He drew drafts against this deposit as
president of the company and deposit
ed them to his own private credit with
the Chatham National bank.
The witnesses who testified before
the grand jury were Edwin II. Car
ter of the brokerage firm, r. 1. Dore-
mus, note teller of the Chatham Ma
tional bank; Frederick Cutter, clerk
of the brokerage firm, and Charles 8.
Roster, secretary of the Phenix COM
pany.
A dispatch from Greenwich, Conn.,,
says that Mr.. Sheldon is constantly
taking medicine to keep his heart in
action. So far he has had no word
conveyed to him of the actions taken
In New York against him. No one but
his immediate family and physicians
see him. He may linger a week or
two, but the members of his family
say that his death may come at any
minute.

INDEMNITY co. ACCUSED.
New York State Official Declares Cap
ital Impaired $65ooo

ItNt tHlPdtToV Y1oUJSVS'
New York, Dec. 9.-Another bomb
has been thrown among the insurance
companies by State Superintendent Of
Insurance William H. Hotchkiss. He
makes public the result Of joint ex-
animation by his department and that
Of Massachusetts,, alleging that the
capital stock of the American Credit
Indemnity company of New York has
been SO seriously impaired as to neces-
state a reduction from $1,000,000 to
$35O,O0O.
Mr.. Hotchkiss and his Massachu-
setts associate find that as a result of
deception by the officers Of the COM
pany in annual reports the surplus of
$1,17s,O90, reported to the policy hold
ers, should be reduced S559, 200, the
real surplus being only $61S,S89.
Mr.. Hotchkiss finds that the CON-
pany declared excessive dividends for
the purpose Of placing a fictitious val
ue on it's stock. He also charges that
the company permitted overdrafts to
officers of the company, more particu-
larIy to President Sidney NJ. Phelan,
whose overdraft amounted to $4,000,
and has conducted it's business extrav-
agantly.
The American Credit Indemnity com.
pany is a $1,OOO,000 corporation, which
issues policies guaranteeing merchants
against losses because of the failure OF
debtors having a specified rating in the
commercial agencies.

President d II In His Message
Agai \ldrioh's Advice.
Washingtt = Dec. 9-It has become
known that = sident Taft was advis-
his message urging the creation Of a
postal savings bank that Senator AID
rich, Representative Weeks and other
members of the national monetary
commission were opposed to the pas
sage Of a savings bank bill in advance
of a report on the subject by the COM
mission.
The leaders in congress admit that
1t will be difficult to prevent the pas
sage Of measure at this session Gre
ating postal savings bank unless the
president can be persuaded not to urge
the subject. A member Of the none
tary commission said:
Il regret very much that Mr.. Taft
indicated in his message that he de-
sired the creation Of postal savings
bank without delay. 1t is true the
party is committed to such an institu-
ton, but to my mind it would be un-
wise to act at this time"
There is a considerable number OF
senators and representatives who are
insistent that now is the time to pass
q postal savings bank bill. Among
these are such conservatives as Sena-
tor Carter Of Montana. The radicals
are for 1t almost to man.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 9.-Grave infor-
nation has been received here from
Tokyo as to the actual intentions Of
Japan in regard to Korea. Diplomatic
information which cannot be doubted
is to the effect that Japan has resumed
her former projects Of pure and simple
annexation of Korea to the Japanese
empire.
This political act would be in direct
opposition to the treaty of Portsmouth.
In case Japan should adopt such a
course Russia would be forced to re-
gard herself as grievously offended. 1t
is considered here that the conflict
