RAILROADS STIFLE
TRAFFIC ON WATER
Inland Waterways Commission Urges
Remedial Action Be Taken-Great
Lakes Show Increased Tonnage.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Poicie5
designed 10 govern the future improve
ment Of the waterways of the country
and the regulation Of water power by
the government I'm order to prevent
monopoly, are set forth in a report
submitted To congress today by the
inland waterways commission. The
commission consists OF IL members
OF the senate and house with Senator
Burton. Of Ohio, chairman. and has
been hard at work since last Mafh.
The report credits the general de
crease I'm water-borne traffic In this
country to the superior facilities of
the railroads and their practice OF re-
ducing rates To stifle boat traffic where
II offers competition. The Mississippi
river shows a heavy decrease In ton
mage and The great lakes a notable
increase The Erie canal and the Hud
son river have shown falling of par
Dticlllarly heavy in the last few years
and the Kanawaha. Tepncssee and
Monongahela rivers among others
have Increased tonnage.
To meet cases in which railroads
raise rates after water competition is
stamped out. the commission recon.
mends the railroads should not be
permitted to raise rates once lowered
to meet boat competition without the
consent OF the interstate commerce
commission. b
improvement of national waterways
is much preferred by the commission
to the building of canals. the latter
work involving far greater expense in
the purchase of land and cost Of con-
struction.
Canals for sea-going ships are con-
sidered desirable by the commission
only To overcome narrow barrier be-
tween naYiSable waters to save n great
sailing distance, as in the case Of the
Suez canal. and to give outlets TO the
sea to large cities near the coast.
The commission strongly recon-
mends. continues the report. "The
greatest care in the conservation of
waterpower for the use of the people,
II especially recommends such legis-
lation by congress and by the states
as would prevent monopoly in the
possession Of water power and secure
it's utilization for the general benefit
The suggestion is made that a pro-
vision preserving to- congress the right
TO alter. amend or repeal should be
inserted in every act granting water.
power rights"

rooster for fights, and she gave me
money to bet for her. After he won
three fights someone stole him.
TO refute the charge of his wife
that she had no money, and was never
properly supported. DePung brought
forward a witness who testified that
he had seen Mrs DePung at the Wind
sor races, and she gave him money to
wager for her on the ponies.
The attitude of the contesting part

present trouble, and this adds greatly
to her fathers sorrow.

At testimony of this kind. or at any

figures:

the speaker is not entitled to a vote

their final total 351. or 80 more than
the combined conservative and nation.

AS the laborites already have 81
seats won and are likely to capture
