TRANSPORTATION BY WATER
Cooperation Between Railways and
Waterways Necessary for Efficient
Use of Inland Water Courses.

Washington, d. C. Cooperation
between railways and waterways
seems absolutely necessary to insure
reasonable and efficient use of the
inland water courses of this country.
This conclusion is reached in the re-
port of Herbert Knox Smith, commits
sioner of corporations, in part of his
discussion of the subject of Trans
portation by Water" which his bu-
reau has been investigating for many
months. The second part of the re-
port was transmitted to President
Taft.
1t is pointed out by Commissioner
Smith that ''it is public evil that the
entire transportation system of the
United States should be, as now, at
odds with itself through destructive
competition, while the transportation
needs of the public suffer-"
Traffic in itself" the report con-
tinues, 'is necessity for the proper
development of waterway. State
and federal work must be supplement.
ed by private initiative, especially in
terminals and equipment, and private
initiative will come in only when there
is reasonable chance of enough traf.
fic to make it profitable. One of the
great questions, therefore, is the ques
ton of how to secure for the inland
rivers and canals reasonable share
of the country's traffic"

NOT GUILTY OF
STEALING LACE
JURY IN ELLA GINeLEs FAMOUS
CASE AT CHICAGO REM
DERs ITS VERDICT.
HER EMPLOYER ExoNERATED
Story Told by Irish Girl to the Effect
that an Attempt Was Made te
Force Her Into White
Slavery Untrue.

Chicago, Ill.-Ella Gingles has been
cleared of the charge of stealing
lace from Miss Agnes Barrette, her
former employer, but the story she
told on the witness stand to the ef-
feet that an attempt was made to
force her into white slavery was de-
nounced as untrue by the jury that
freed her. The verdict was as fol-
lows: 1--WE, the jury, find the defend
ant not guilty and we the jury further
find that the charge made against
Miss Agnes Barrette were unfounded
and are untrue"
Based on simple charge of lar
ceny of $50 worth of handmade lace,
the Gingles trial went far beyond the
counts of the indictment. The sub
ject of white slavery was drawn into
the trial from the start and with it
an arabian nights tale of outrages
was told in detail on the witness
stand by the young defendant. Her
accusations were aimed at Miss Bar
rette, Mrs. Cecilia Kenyon, friend
of Miss Barrette's who before the
trial died suddenly, and an unnamed
nldl WHO was an dCIOT IN the LeSDlan
orgies imagined by the defendant
For the defense, Attorney Patrick
H. O'Donnell sought to prove that his
client was an innocent girl, who had
been shamefully abused by her ac
cusers. Against his contention the
state called witnesses from Canada,
the former home of Ella Gingles, who
testified in contradiction to the story
of the defendant concerning incidents
in her life in Belleville, Ont.
At one time the taking of pertinent
evidence was halted long enough to
give Thomas Taggart of Indiana, for
mer chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee, an opportunity to
declare from the witness stand that
he had no knowledge of Ella Gingles
save what he had read in the news
papers. His name had been mentioned
by Ella Gingles as one who was spo-
ken while she was subjected to the
imaginary abuse at the hotel. 1t was
made clear that Mr.. Taggart had
nothing to do with the case.

FOUR KILLED; MANY INJURED
Benzlne Tank on Motorcycle Expiodea
and Runaway Machine Crashes
Into Public Stand.

Berlin.-Four persons were killed,
more than twenty severely injured
and dozen others slightly injured as
the result of the explosion of mo-
torcycle and a fire which followed 1t,
during cycle race at the old botanic
gardens here. Thousands of specta-
tors had gathered around the track
which was opened for the first time
few days ago.
The first race was over and the sec,
ond event, an endurance race, was on,
some of the best known cyclists, in
Guiding Stellbrink, Content, Ryser and
Stol participating. After a few laps
the tire of one of the pace makers
motorcycle burst and the rider lost
control. The benzine exploded in a
burst of flame and the machine leaped
into the air and hurled itself against
the barrier, which broke down. The
rider was thrown off and fell against
other competitors, who were pitched
to the track, several OF them being
severely injured. So terrific was the
speed of the motorcycle that it con-
tinued ON it's course after the ex.
plosion, crashing into the public
stand, hurting spectators right and
left and setting on fire several wom-
ems dresses. Two women were instant
ly killed and their bodies, saturated
with benzine, were burned to cinders

PRESIDENT SHOWS HIS HAND
Says Republican Party Is Committed
to Downward Revision of Tariff
Will Stand by His Promise.

Washington, d. C.-All doubt as
to where President Taft stands with
regard to the downward revision of
the tariff was swept away when a
statement was given out at the White
House setting forth in detail what
the president had to say to % Repub-
lican members of congress who called
to protest against putting raw mate
rails on the free list.
The president in this statement de.
clares that the Republican party is
committed to downward revision; I;
that he has never had any other idea
of the Chicago platform, and that he
personally has promised downward
revision to the people. This state
ment is interpreted in some quarters
here as direct notification to the
conferees on the tariff bill that IL the
measure they finally agree upon does
not constitute a material reduction in
specific duties the president will exer-
else his power of veto.
Dictated in the third person, the
statement concludes with this final
word of the presidents attitude as
outlined to his callers: He felt
strongly the call of the country for a
downward revision within the limits
of the protective principle, and he
hoped to be able to respond to that
call as he heard it, as we'll in the in
terests of the party as of the coun-
try."

MORE LABOR NOW EMPLOYED
General Business Situation of the
Country Improved-Rates for
Loans Nominally Low.

New York City.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Each succeeding week has now be-
come a record of advancing activity
in industry and commerce. The ex-
traordinary expansion in the iron and
steel trade continues and whereas a
short time ago the problem was how
to find business now the problem is
becoming that of meeting orders with
adequate dispatch. The general busi-
ness situation is improved by the pro-
gress made in the work of tariff revi-
sion. In view of the widening area
of Industrial activity, the better en-
ployment of labor and the higher
prices for commodities, the fact that
the supply of banking credits in the
leading financial centers continues
large, with rates for loans generally
low, is significant of the reserve pow
er for further expansion.

was scene of splendor when the
great historical pageant was opened.
People from all parts of the Uni

SLOOP SUNK IN SQUALL
TEN PEOPLE DROWNED IN LOWER
YORK BAY.
Swimming Accidents, with One Excep.
tlon, Caused the Death Of Six Other
Persons In Vicinity of Gotham.

New York City.-Ten persons were
drowned, two of them little girls,
when the excursion sloop Roxanna
carrying % passengers was capsizel
by sudden squall in lower New York
bay. The captain of the Roxanna
and the 12 survivors were picked up
under great difficulties in rough and
choppy sea by the tug Lamont.
The Roxanna with her skipper, Capt
Samuelson, was chartered at Ulmer
Beach, Brooklyn, in the morning by a
party of Swedes from Brooklyn for a
sail across the bay to Midland beach,
Staten Island, and back. The first
leg of the voyage was made without
mishap and all hands piled ashore
10 make merry. Beer was served and
some of the Survivors could give but
a hazy account of the accident.
All afternoon there was a stiff
breeze from the southwest which left
a nasty cross sea- Toward o'clock
the Roxanna, reeling homeward across
the bay under all the sail good judg-
ment would permit to be carried,
slipped into a squall. She lay over
until her copper plates glistened in the
sun and, as the angle of the deck
steepened to the boiling water in her
lee, the women screamed and scram-
bled for the upper rail. The captain
struggled to slack away his sheet, but
there was no time for measures of
relief. In one moment the Roxanna
was bottom up and the foam was
black with bobbing heads. In an
other the Roxanna had vanished and
one by one the heads began to fol-
low her.
Six other drownings. with but one
exception, were swimming accidents.
Stephen Ernst, 2S, of Brooklyn, was
drowned off Coney Island while learn
ing to swim. Charles Hendricksen.
AZ, of Brooklyn, met death in the same
vicinity by the upsetting of row.

York, slipped on some rocks and fell
into the Hudson to his death. OF
Bellmore, L. l., Charles Conn, 80, got
beyond his depth and sank; Giano
Rizzo, a laborer, 81, perished while
swimming in the Harlem river. Last
