Calgary, Alta, June 5.-An alleged

The Chinaman was shot in the breast

who committed the outrage were Jas.

MAY BE ADVERSE
Deep Water Way From st. Louis to
Gulf Not Advisable.

Washington. June 5.-From the at
titude of prominent army officials the
impression has been gained that the
unanimous report of the army board
of engineers on the proposed Missis-
sippf deep water way project from
st. Louis to the Gulf of Mexico, which
probably will be before congress be-
fore the end of next week. takes the
ground that the commercial interests
of the case do not warrant the en-
penditure of the vast sums which
would be required to construct and
maintain the proposed water way.
The conclusions of the board have
been awaited with impatience. es-
pecially in congress. where two weeks
ago there was debate over the ques-
tion of calling upon the secretary of
war to transmit forthwith the report
on the subject.
Gen. William ID. Marshall, chief of
engineers of the army, will take pains
to have the report placed in the hands
of congress as soon as possible, in
view of the criticisms that were made
of the engineers. The proposed deep
water way from ST. Louis to the gulf
is part of the great project to con-
meet the great lakes with the gulf
by a channel sufficient to accommo-
date large crafts throughout the year.
According to the legislation adopted
by congress when it authorized the
survey of the Mississippi the en-
gineers were to collect data on the
construction of a channel fourteen
feet deep.

BANK SHORT $4,000
Directors of the Idaho Institution Sup.
piled the Money,

Lewiston, Idaho, June 5.-A nation
al bank examiner, Claud Catch, is
authority for the statement that a
shortage has been discovered in the
funds of the Lewiston National Bank.
Beyond the fact that the stockholders
have made the alleged shortage good,
Mr.. Catch declines to discuss the stu
alton. 1t is said that the alleged de-
falcation amounts to $137, 900.
The embezzlement has, it Is stated,
extended over a period of the last five
years; and 1t was made possible, it isi
understood. by manipulation of the ad-
ding machine used in computing the
daily balances.
Immediately after the condition be-,
came known to the bank officials a
meeting of the stockholders was CALL
ed and the entire defalcation made
good by them.
The Lewiston National Bank and
the Idaho Trust company were con-,
solidated about year ago. At that
time the capital and surplus of the
Lewiston National was 100000 and
the capital of the trust company $780,
600. The aggregate deposits at the
present time are about 100000, of

The cash on hand is 100000.
The case has been placed in the

F. w. Kettenbach, president Of the
National Bank and Idaho Trust Com
pany said:
II corroborate the statement Of Mr..
Catch as to the defalcation having
been made good. Some time since,
when 1t was discovered that defalca-
tions by employees had been commit
ted. the directors and large sharehold-
ers. after having checked up and as
certained the exact amount, paid it in
at once. A material salvage has since
been realized and further salvage
is covered by surety company bonds.
"No suspicion attaches to any EN-.
ploye now in the bank. The defalca-
tions show the result of a gradual alb
straction covering period of five
years. and no large sum was taken at
any one time"

POLLUTION Of

One of the Principal Themes
the at Boards of Health
Conference

Washington, June 5.-Leprosy.
tuberculosis and the pollution of
streams formed the principal themes
OF discussion today at the twenty
fourth annual meeting Of the confer
ence of the state and provincial
boards of health of North America.
With regard to the subject of lepro-
sy, DIR. w. G. Woodward of the Dis
trict of Columbia, chairman of the
committee on q national leprosarium
reported that no progress had been
made toward the establishment OF
such an institution.
He urged that the impossibility OF
the federal government restraining
lepers without having suitable place
in which to care for them be pointed
out, and to the absolute necessity of
the establishment of one. DR.. j. N.
Hurry said that in 1908 there were
sixty registered lepers in Louisiana,
but that it was generally known that
there were at least one hundred and
fifty lepers in the state.
Taking up the question Of tuber-
culosis DR.. John P. c. Foster declar-
ed that it was one for the municipali-
ties rather than the state. He advo-
Gated the education of the public in
being more careful with regard to the
milk supply.
With reference to the pollution of
streams. the committee appointed to
consider the subject reported that as
the federal government had no con-
troll over the matter many OF the most
difficult problems could not be solved
at present but it was urged that this
might be done by agreement between

Iowan Wants to Know About the Sa.
credness Of This Change Upon Which
Members Are Expected to vots
Without Further Question j. =

Washington, June Sat once taking
the floor when Senator Aldrich asked
Tor an aye and no vote on the cotton
cloth schedule today, Senator Dolli-
yer made the senatorial rafters ring
with his denunciation of the speech
made by the Rhode Island senator last
night on that schedule. "I desire to
avoid any harsh criticism of what has
been done," said Senator Dolliver, in
opening, "but am not able to avoid
the plain, straightforward statement
of what this committee now ask the
senate to do. Men are asked to cast
their votes here. not upon testimony
but upon the authority of the COM
mlttee and it becomes my duty to in-
quire into the ,sacredness of that SUBJ
stitute for facts and figures"
Saying that he had had no oppor.
tunity to read the speeches of the
senator from Rhode Island, Senator
Dolltver commented on the statement
that only ten per cent of the cotton
schedule had been changed" Denying
this by a counter statement on the
authority of Senator Smoot that only
thirty per cent were unchanged, hs
was quickly interrupted by Mr.. AID
rich.

from Rhode Island, that less than
ten per cent of the total cotton i'm
portations. which amount in the ag-
gregate to $7S,0O0.OO0, were affected
by these provisions"
Accepting this correction, Mr.. DOL
liver declared that thirty years ago
he had gone everywhere carrying in
his satchel the speeches of the sena-
tor from Rhode Island upon the tar

ments, in which he said he then had

R. s. gleefully proclaimed to a gath ering of his associates that Clarke's dam was "the monumental failure of the age" In less than week that dam was recognized throughout the land as the monumental engineering achievement of the age. The Recla- nation Service engineers ate their crow in silence and confessed their error by adopting the Clarke method of choking the Colorado at Laguna Dam.
 There Is work enough to keep Su- perintendent Clarke busy putting the canal system of Number One into good operating condition, for if ever any thing was bungled, neglected and mis- treated, that system has been so mis- handled. Clarke will earn the $400 a month allowed him as salary if the directors supply him with the means for carrying out his plans.
 For one thing, he proposes to make use of the fall of the land, which has been wasted in drops" and cause the ditches to keep themselves clear of silt. He intends to have the ditch levees cleared of brush, weeds and trees and kept clear. Also he pro- poses to clear the payroll of idlers, shirkers and pensioners and see that men paid for work show some chips. Clarke has been looking over the sys- tenn and trying to find out what the men on the payroll have been doing for their wages, and he has found a plentiful and significant dearth of chips.
 It will take some time to put the system into efficient working order, but it can be so improved that the owner of water stock can get water when and where he needs it, and the waste can be disposed of without dam - age to- others.
