Smith failed to recover. He was ar
rested for perjury in this case the day
before the body was found.
McTighe has lived with his daughter
in St. Paul at times.

members Of the committee and Of the
engineers in charge Of the work that
this 100000 is to be used in assem-
bling . plant with which the work
can be pushed to completion.
1t is expected that in the appropria.

May Be Lively Fight.
It is probable that there will be q
lively fight on the provisions Of the
bill relating to the deep waterway
from the lakes to the gulf. The COM
mittee has inserted provision for the
appropriation of 100000. but it has
stipulated that the money shall not
become available until commission
Of engineers has negotiated with the
state Of Illinois regarding WATERFOWL
ers and certain other things, and has
reported its findings to congress.
This is regarded as an absurd propo-
sition by several members of the
house who are informed Of it, as there
has been no report on the project such
as congress usually requires before
authorizing an expenditure further
than for preliminary display.
