SAYS WATER TRAFFIC
OPPOSED BY RAILROADS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-"Probably
the greaest single deterrent water ter
minal advance in the United States Is
the present adverse attitude Of rall
lines toward independent water traf-
fic, in their exclusive control of 'front.'
age, in refusal or neglect to co~ord1n-
ate with general water traffic and In
refusal to pro-rate generally with water
lines in through movement OF traffic
This is one of the conclusions of Her
bert Knox Smith, commissioner of cor
porations, just made public, of his re-
mort to the president on water trans
portation in the United States. After
an exhaustive inquiry into the haroor
situation of the country and an anai-
ysis of conditions, Commissioners Smlth
deals in this section Of the report Wild
water terminals and he finds nVe sa-
lient facts regarding them.
That terminals are as important as
channels: that the harbors of the coun-
try have not fully developed their ter
minal frontage nor are they properly
organized or controlled; that railroads
largely control water terminals, often
to the disadvantage of general water
traffic: that there is almost no 4lnKlnS
up of the rail and general water sys-
TENS at the waters edge, but rather the
opposite tendency, and that there is
little cooperation by localities with the
federal government which improves
their channels.
Lack of cooperation between 1ocali-
ties and the federal government In wa
ter terminal development, he says, is in
marked contrast to those continental
countries whose waterways have been
most highly developed.

DENY RESPONSIBILITY
FOR SWAN GIRLS DEATH
DR.. Grant Charged with Crime,
and Athlete Is Held

sam FRANCISCO, Sept. 26.-Beyond
the formal charging of DR.. James F.
Grant with the crime of murder, there
were no new developments in the Eva
Swan case today.
Both Grant and Paul H. Parker, the
former Stanford university athlete
who is held by the police in connec-
tion with the affair, still cling to their
stories that they were in no way re-
sponsible for the death of the young
stenographer.
After a long talk with Parker today
District Attorney Charles M. Fickert
ordered him back to the city prison,
where he will be held indefinitely.
In a complete statement made to-
day, Miss Marie Messerschmidt, the
nurse who was employed by DR.. Grant,
and who says that she saw him place
the body of Miss Swan In the trunk,
told Fickert and Detective Ed Wren
that Parker did not accompany the
girl to Grants offices on her first visit
to the place. She said, however, that
Parker later knew of the fact that
the girl was half delirious from her
suffering.
Miss Messerschmidt was certain also
that Willie Saack, the boy who is
supposed to have assisted DR.. Grant
in disposing of the remains, was not
present when the body was placed in
the trunk. - "a A q

SAN DIEGO WARNS
TO THEODORE BELL
Democratic Candidates Open the
SouthernmoSt Rally with
Crowded Meeting
Associated Presa,

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 26.-The Demo-
Gratis of San Diego had their first rally
of the campaign this evening, when
they filled Germania hall and wildly
applauded long speech by Theodore
Bell and very brief one by Timothy
Spellacy.
e. e. Capps presided and promptly
presented Mr. Bell
At the outset Bell spoke of the great
future that California will have
through the opening of the Panama
canal.
"The Democratic doctrine of equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none," he said. "if steadily adhered to
in this state will mean industrial
progress never witnessed before"
Coming to the question of the South
ern Pacific railroad in politics, he
suggested that it is customary to put
new converts on probation, and that
four years would be a proper proba-
tionary term for Republicans who had
concluded to break away from rail-
way domination. He continued:
1.-THE political supremacy of the
Southern Pacific is not the product of
few days or a few months 1t runs
back many ySers through the history
of California. This pernicious infiu-
ence has been exercised through the
medium of the Republican party
Time and time again the Democratic
party has taken an absolute and une-
quivocal position against its domina-
tion in our affairs, but year after year
the people by a majority vote for Re-
publican nominees have suffered this
great political evil to continue"
Mr.. Bell asserted that he had fought
the Southern Pacific four years ago
and was still fighting it.
AS to the immigration question, Mr..
Bell said: "I am opposed to Asiatic
immigration, whether 1t be Chinese,
Japanese, Hindu or any other Oriental
people and 1 shall not hesitate to use
the lawful powers of the state to pre-
vent their encroachment upon the
state"
The speaker devoted some time to
education in California.
"If elected governor" he said, 'I
shall overhaul our entire school sys-
tenn, and where notifications and
changes can be made to improve its
value 1 shall not hesitate to do all that
lies in my power"

PARK BOARD OBJECTS TO
ROAD ACROSS ARROYO SEc0

The park commission yesterday
adopted a resolution protesting against
the construction of dirt railroad and
wagon road fill across the Arroyo Seco
at Pasadena avenue. The fill proposed
is 1900 feet long and fifty feet high.
In it's resolution the park commits
sion says that the fill will destroy the
possibility of ever using this portion
of the arroyo as a parkway, as has
been proposed. 1t is possible, says the
resolution, to build an arched con-
crete bridge that will enhance the nat
ural beauty of this location. 1t is bet
ter to wait for further funds than to
proceed with the dirt fill because it is
cheaper The injury to property val
ues adjoining will be greater than the
saving.
A copy of the resolution will be for
warded to the council, the county SUI
pervisiors and the city officials of
South Pasadena, as the expense is to
be shared by all three
