MANY COMMITTEES
SEEK TAFT'S HELP

Washington, Dec. 9.-ASSuraDceS
that steps of an important character
toward the development of a system
of waterways improvement in the
heart of the country would be taken
by the present congress were given by
President Taft today to delegations
which he received in the East Room
of the White House.
To 300 committeeman representing
the Ohio Valley Improvement associa-
tion the president promised TO bring
what influence he could in favor of the
Improvement of the Ohio river, and
later. to the committee of 500 of the
New Orleans kes-to-the-Gulf Water
ways convention, he said that some
thing is doing" and that the interest
Of those in congress who heretofore
have turned a cold shoulder to the
entire subject of waterway improve
ment had been aroused.
Mr. Taft expressed to the Ohio dele
CATION that his remarks to the con-
gress yesterday had cast wet blan-
ket" over the convention. and said that
he had only intended TO help the gatn-
ering along by pointing out the prac-
tical method of accomplishing the OBJ
ject desired.
The object of the visit of the Ohio
Valleye delegation to the White House
was TO enlist the presidents support
for nine-foot channel from Pittsburg
to Cairo all the year round"
Four governors and two former gov
ernors headed the committee of 500
which had been charged by the New
Orleans convention to present to the
president resolutions asking Gor H.
foot channel for the Mississippi.
Just Few Governors.
They were Governors Ansell, South
Carolina; Sanders Louisiana; De,
neen Illinois: Hadley, Missouri, and
former Governors Francis. Missouri,
and Mcmillan, Tennessee. Governor
Deneen presented the resolutions, and
the president replied in part.
Il hope that we are all engaged in
work in which We stand shoulder 10
shoulder without respect to particu-
lar locality, and that. if you gentlemen
interested in particular improvement
find that your view may not be en-
tirely met, and that your particular
project may not be the first one taken
up in a substantial way, it will not
prevent your welcoming a step by con-
gress that, when taken, means the EN-
bracing OF every Improvement that
ought TO commend itself to those who
are familiar with congress"
Mr. Taft said he had been assured
by members of committees that have
much legislation in charge that the
whole matter Of waterway improve
ment would receive earnest considera-
ton in the present session
Afterwards the committee called
upon Secretary of War Dickinson and
presented to him resolutions similar
to those left at the White House.
Visit Sherman Also.
Earlier in the day the committee In
vaded the capitol and paid visits to
Vice President Sherman. Speaker Can
non. Senator Frye OF the senate COM
mittee on commerce and Representa-
tive Alexander OF New York. chairman
of the house committee on rivers and
harbors. From none of these leaders
did the committee receive much en-
couragcment
VicePresident Sherman contented
himself with shaking hands with the
committee. Speaker Cannon said
to propose and another TO select from
a host of projects and legislate for
their improvement
