tract announcing the intended sale Of
all Bell Telephone stock now held by
the Mackay companies:
THE Mackay companies will sell

American Telephone and Telegraph
company, that step being in Difference
to public opinion. which views with

a company which recently purchased
the control Of the Western Union Tele-

was acquired by the Mackay compa-
MES with view to bringing about
economics In the construction and
maintenance Of joint pole line over
long stretches of country whore the
business was not sufficient to Justify
either company constructing an indie
pendent pole line by itself. Many such
arrangements were made, each com
pany owning one-half of the pole line,
but having nothing to do with the
business of the other company.
Since, however, the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph company has ac,
CURED control Of the Western Union

come for the Mackay company to sell
its holdings of stock in the American

WATERWAY SCORES
VICTORY FOR LAkES-TotGULF
IMPROVEMENT SEEMS GER.
TAIN THIS WEEK
Important Forward Step When House
Refused to Strike Out Million
Dollar propriation--Vote
Tomorrow

Washington. Feb 15.-The project
for the construction of a waterway
from Lockport. H., by way of the Des
PLANES AMI Illinois rivers, to the
mouth Of the Illinois river, and finally
by way OF the Mississippi river to the
gulf was materially advanced last
night when the house, sitting as a
committee of the whole, In considera-
ton Of the rivers and harbors bill, by
a vote Of G7 to 81 refused to adopt an
amendment offered by Representative
Davidson, of Wisconsin, to strike out
1.-THE $1,000000 appropriation and APP
prove the paragraph as it was origi-
nally reported by the committee on riv-
ers and harbors.
1t was signal victory for the advo-
Gates of the great waterway and one
which portends the success when the
bill comes up for final passage Thurs
day. Members from the Mississippi
valley expressed themselves as de-
lighted over the days work. Repre-
sentatives Bartholdt and Rodenburg
said the people of the Mississippi val.
ley had been handed officials boards,
engineering and otherwise, for years,
and the fight today either meant eth
er definite triumph for the waterway
project or is positive death, and its
friends rallied manfully for the final
struggle
Shows What illinois Did,
Representative Ransdell of Louisi-
ana. aroused much enthusiasm in his
strong advocacy of the adoption of the
project. Hope deferred maketh the
heart sick" he said. THE people OF
the Mississippi valley cannot wait
longer. They have been too patient
now"
Representative Madden presented
figures from the reports of engineers
to correct the impression that the pro
ject would cost upward Of 100000 900.
He referred to the defeat of the para
graph in the bill Of 1907, when the
then chairman of the committee now
Senator Burton. asked him what the
State of Illinois was doing about it,
We went home, Mr.. Madden said,
and we voted $20,000,O00. We. now
come before you with clean hands. y
/ Davidson's motion that the commit
tee rise which would delay the vote
until Thursday, was lost. 1t was no
ticed that Representative Borland, of
Missouri, supposed to be an adherent
Of the great waterway enterprise, vot.
ed with the handful who had persist
emily opposed the project. This action
| on the part of Missouri member
created great deal of unfavorable
comment No quorum, raised by Rep
iresentatiye Morris, of Wisconsin, lis.
closed the presence of 101 members.
The vote on Davidson's amendment
was defeated by vote of 81 10 81.
Missouri River Plan Approved.
The paragraph appropriating ST.
100000 for the Missouri river was then
quickly read to forestall the opponents
of the lakesto-thegulf project again
attacking that paragraph, and when
the house adjourned at 1920 the
friends of the Missouri river enter,
prise realized that their project had
been carried through without word
'of opposition.
