Already a Contest Between the
Interests Who Favor Big

ASSOCIATION NOT SATISFIED
Representatives of This Project Claim
That They Are Being Disseminated
Against and That They Are Not Re.
ceiying Adequate Recognition.

Washington. Dec. S.-Though the
National Rivers and Harbors congress
has been in session only one day
signs of friction already have devel-
oped among the representatives ad-
vocating the big projects. Some of
the representatives of the Atlantic
Deeper Water Ways association claim
they are not receiving adequate recog-
milton.
That the house of representatives
practically every man in it" Is in
favor of comprehension and the ade.
quate legislation providing for the Inn
provement of all the navigable waters
of the United States and is equally
ready to appropriate money for carry.
ing on the work, was the declaration
made to the National Rivers and Har-
bors congress today by Representa-
tive Champ Clark, minority leader of
teh house of representatives. The
declaration was made in the course Of
brief but forceful remarks by Clark
during which he advised the delegates
to concentrate their missionary efforts
upon the senate and the white house.
Representative Clark followed several
speakers among whom was Governor
Judson Harmon of Ohio. He entered
the hall during the address of Gen.
eral Bixby, chief of the United States
engineer corps. and the speaker was
forced to pause until the applause for
the Ohioan had died away.
| Governor Harman's address was
very brief and contained little beyond
his expression of full sympathy with
the cause of the congress to which he
pledged his support. He paid tri-
butte to the work of the army engi-
neers and advised full reliance in
their consels. The water ways Of
the country. he said, were free from
monopoly by virtue Of the constitu-
ton of the country and they offered
a solution for the transportation diff
ficulties which the railroads declared
they would soon be unable to over

THE REFORM Of
THE CURRENCY
Secretary of the Treasury Ex-
haustively Treats of Many
Important Topics

Washington, Dec. 8.-Currency re-
form; extension OF the scope of the
national banking laws, in the event
of no immediate general changes in
the monetary SYSTEM; civil service
from practical" politics; business
like methods in the daily transactions
of the government and general
abolition of red tape wherever ii
clogs the wheels of the government s
business, are among the recommends
tions contained in the annual report
Of Franklin MacVeagh, secretary OF
the treasury, presented to congress
today
The expenses of government in the
fiscal year 1912, for which this ses-
sion of congress is asked to approp-
riate, are estimated at $3.50, ,494, ,013.12
The estimated expenditures of the
Panama canal are given as $56,92O,-
S47.69, making a total of s6S7,414,-
S6O.S1. The estimates, If carried out
represent net savings of about $751;
100000 in the executive departments
as compared with the appropriations
for the current fiscal year.
Receipts for 1912, Secretary Mac
Veagh estimates, will be $6SO,000, ,00O
which would leave an ordinary sur
plus of round $50,000,O00. If the
treasury should continue to pay for
the Panama canal out of the cash
drawer as at present, such surplus
would be turned to deficit of ST.
Ala, ,S60.S1.
Secretary Macveagh, expresses the
hope that the monetary question will
come into congress detached from
sectional or political considerations
Panic Breeding System
"Our system can fairly be called a
panic-breeding SYSTEM" he says
whereas every other great national
banking and currency system is pan.
ic-prevent:ng AS long as we contin-
Tie under our present system we are
liable to panics and the devastations
of panics reach Republicans and Dem.
ocrats and all parts of the country
alike. Panics are no longer neces-
sary and no longer respectable. 1t is
for the government to say whether
we shall have panics in the future or
not. 1t is a mere matter Of choice.
I'VE have no system of reserves;
our banking system destroys them. II
concentrates in New York what are
pretended to be reserves and then
forces the New York banks to lend
and abolish them. Our system, in.
stead Of building up a reserve, de.
stroys 1t as fast as 1t inclines to &C.
cumulate."
In connection with his criticism ol
the money system, one of the secre.
tary's most important recommends

last indignity from the sentimental
school which he distrusted in life and
which has belittled his blood-earned
laurels." Mr.. Reid traced the career
Of Lincoln from his earliest pioneer
days and dwelt at length upon the
final stages Of his career during and
at the conclusion Of the civil war. He
summed up his estimate as follows:
you have rightly selected him as
the chief American maker of history
in the nineteenth century. The world
long ago chose another as our chief
maker Of history for the eighteenth
century. l venture to think George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln not
inferior to any sons of the race born
In these centuries under any skies
nay more, I venture to think that in
the whole long and glorious history
of that race, while its history was
ours as we'll as yours, they have never
been surpassed.
II place him far above any other
Of your shining list of the makers of
history in the nineteenth century,
far above Bismarck. far above Gam
beta or Mazzini. or the Marquis Ito.
Though personally modest and SEN
sitive, he was from his earliest man
hood a persistent Office seeker, and the
most ambitious of men.
He was an ardent partisan and the
most skillful master of men and of
all the intricacies in the gaem of poll
tics known in his state.
"He was not. perpetually telling
humorous and some times risque
stories in the white house. For every
one he did tell hundred poorer and
coarser ones have been fathered on
him.
"At the most critical period of his
life he was the victim of such melan-
cholia that his friends feared for his
reason. Always when not in animat-
ed conversation he, was the most
melancholy looking of men.
ITO regard this highest and saddest
statesman Of the century as a mere
professional wearer Of cap and bells
is the last indignity belittling his
blood-earned laurels.
"He knew his bible better than any
other book. He was never men,
Der of any church"

WON A POINT
Independent Coal Operator Gets An
other Try at His Complaint

New York, Dec. S-Henry E. Meek
er, a coal operator in the anthracite
region of Pennsylvania, won a point
today in his suit against the Lehigh
Valley railroad on the charge that the
road and other corporations had con-
spired by, manipulation of freight rates
and prices of coal, to prevent inde-
pendent operators from selling in
New York. He brought suit under the
Sherman antitrust law, asking triple
damages. as the law provides. The
United States circuit court dismissed
the suit. upholding the Lehigh Val
ley's demurrer, which took the ground
that the action was a question of
freight rates which should be taken
before the interstate commerce COM
mission. Meeker appealed and today
the circuit court OF appeals over
Nurned the decision Of the lower
court.

terday in Excluding q Part of the
Dying Statement-Girl's Statements
After Her Arrest Not Serious.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. S.-The de-
fense in the trial of Hattie LIE Blanc,
the young Cape Breton girl, on trial
for the murder Of Clarence F. Glover,
the Waltham laundry proprietor,
opened with sensations today. The
junior counsel for the defense, A. Far
ley Brewer, declared in his opening
address that the defense would show
that some one besides the prisoner
had committed the crime.
Melville NJ. Johnson, senior counsel,
caused a surprise by asking District
Attorney Higgins to take the stand.
At yesterdays session testimony
was given concerning statements al
legged to have been made by Miss LIE
Blanc Immediately following her ar
rest. According to this testimony, the
accused girl admitted that she had
been in the laundry with Glover on
the night Of the murder; that she saw
the revolver in Glover's hand; that
she struggled with him when he is
said to have assaulted her, and that
she heard shot fired.
The testimony was given by. Zella
Gallant, French girl who said she
interpreted the statements the LIE
Blanc girl made.
Miss Gallant swore also that Hattie
LIE Blanc said she never shot Glover.
She admitted. according to Miss
Gallant, that the comb and pin found
In the laundry were hers and said
they came of during her struggle with
Glover.
The defense scored another point
when Judge Bond refused to admit
that part Of the stenographic report
which referred to Glover's alleged
dying statement that Hattie had shot
him.
