RIVER BILL VETO?
RUMOR ARISES, FOLLOWING SEN
SATIONAL ATTACK BY
BURTON.
RIYERTRAYFLw ANTIQUATED
Ohio Senator Attacks Improvement
systsm.-Says Country Has Gone
Wild Over Construction Of Locks
and Dams.

Washington, ID. G. - The sugges-
ton OF a possibility that President
Taft may veto the river and harbOr
bill caused some uneasiness among
members of both houses Of congress.
This rumOr was circulated immediate
Is after a serious attack made upon
the' river and harbor bill by Senator
Burton of Ohio. 1t is assumed that if
President Taft has any idea that the
river and harbor bill should not be-
come a law. it is due to the charges
made by Senator Burton that the gem
aral total of the measure is e~XtraVa-
giant, and that in some respects the APP
preparations for a number Of the har-
bors and rivers would be Wasteful if
applied according to the terms of the
measure. More than this. the idea
became prevalent that President Taft
regards the bill as carrying toe much
money, considering the present state
Of the public finances.
Mr.. Burton declared that the al
try had gone wild Owe the construc-
ton of locks and dams. He instanced
improvements of this character. con
tending that Notwithstanding millions
had beer expended there had been a
falling off in tonnage. All this meant.
he said. that that sort of transpOrta
lion is going out of existence.
Much Spent on Ohio.
AS the senator progressed he
aroused more or less opposition and
was engaged in controversy by Sen.
ators Page, LOrimer, G%allineer, Bailey,
and others. In reply to Mr.. Gallin2er.
the Ohio senator admitted that be-
tween 500, @ 900 and $4,000, 900 had

the idea that ships could go through
canal and river and sea to New Or
leans and to Europe. People who are
carried away by this view, he said, for
get that via the Welland canal Chica-
go now has a 14-foOt waterway from
Chicago direct to Europe, but uses il,
TO a small extent.
Proceeding after a long interruption
by Mr.. Newlands, Mr.. Burton entered
upon the advocacy of a system Of wa
terway improvement under which local
communities should share the cost of
the work. He said this system is in
operation in Europe. After speaking
for three hours, Mr.. Burton suspended
for the day and the reading of the bill
proceeded. When the paragraph ap-
propriating 500, 600 towards the con-
struction of the harbor of refuge at
Sandy Bay. Cape Ann, Mass. was
reached. Mr.. Burton moved to strike it
out. Mr.. Lodge resisted and among
other things said that if the harbor
had been completed the steamer Port
land might have been saved. The
amendment TO strike out was voted
down.
Comparatively little progress had
been made on the bill when the sen.
ate adjourned.

Sweetness of Disposition.

1t does not make any difference
how much you are misunderstood,
unappreciated, abused or robbed,
there is one result you cannot af-
ford to let these unhappy expe-
riences work in you-you cannot
afford to let them make you cyni-
cal, sour in disposition, and un-
charitable in your judgments. When
the milk of human kindness in you
curdles, you are alienated from God
and man; your capacity for doing
good and of making your life bless
ing is fatally discounted. There are
few possessions so precious as sweet
ness of disposition. But sweetness of
disposition does not imply that you
let others impose on you, trample on
you and run over you. On the con-
trary, this trait never appears to bet
ter advantage than when you are
called upon to call halt to some in
justice, or to take your stand against
some unrighteousness. A sour-heart-
ed reformer is intolerable. In the
great picture of Michael Staying the
dragon, there is a serene light in the
angels face. He has passed through
a'fearful struggle, but it has not en-
bittered him. His sweetness of dis
position will not lead him to sheathe
his sword or take his foot from the
dragons neck, but he will do his
duty without ceasing to be an angel
Of light.

Why Women Marry.

Some women marry because they
haven't the courage to stay single.
Some marry because a man has ask
ed them to and they don't like to
say mo" Some women marry be-
cause they want a little more money
in their purse and more credit at the
shops. Some women marry because
they want to put Mrs" on their
visiting cards and the word wife"
on their tombstones. Some women
marry for money-money and moth
ing else and with it comes RESPONSE
bilities of which they never dream.
Some women marry because they
love the man; because they want to
be his wife, his friend and his help
mate; because they want to make
him feel that there is one woman
in the world whom he can love
and cherish, and from whom he will
receive love and consideration in re-
turn; because they want to make
him feel that if sorrow comes he has
a sympathizing, loving friend close
beside him, and that in the days of
joy there is one who can give him
smile for smile These are the only
women worth marrying.

Not q Musicale.

Because the Barkers were always
doing ridiculous things in ridiculous
way, says The New York Sun, nobody
was SURPRISED at their sending out a
mysterious invitation to something,
presumably a musicale, because the
notice consisted of just four bars of
music; but everybody was surprised
that the initiation should have been
mailed several days after the printed
date, which was June Is. One man
who never liked to miss anything,
called Barker up and told him how
sorry he and his wife were that they
didn't get the invitation in time.
"Invitation?" said Barker.
Eyes, to your musicale. 1t came
just this morning."
Barker sent back an embarrassed
cough over the wire.
"I'm afraid you didn't under
stand" he said. "That was my wife,
way of letting you know it's a boy.
For The Messiah you know-'Un-
to us son is born"
"Oh," said the other man. Then
he added: '"Those crazy Barkers!"

ASSISTANT PAYMASTER FIRED.
L. ID. Haughey, Attached to Castine,
Dismissed from Navy.

Washington, July 14.-Assistant
Paymaster lawrence D. Haughey, of
Indiana, attached to the Castine, of
the Atlantic torpedo fleet, was to-day
dismissed from the navy on charge
of embezzlement. During the abb
sence of Haughey, from the ship, the
safe on board the Castine was open
ed and $500 was found to be miss
ing.
Haughey was ordered court-mar--
tailed, and was found guilty of cul-
pable of inefficiency, but not guilty of
embezzlement.
A recommendation was made that
he be reduced ten numbers.
The attorney general subsequent
ly rendered an opinion that in view
of the Affirmative finding Of the
court, Haughey was technically gull
ty of embezzlement. The case was
returned to the court and the find
ing entered together with a recon-
mendation to mercy. Subsequently,
an investigation by Acting Secretary
Kinthrop led to the dismissal.
Haughey on the day that his trial be-
gan made good the money which had
been taken.

TEARS FOLLOW RESIGNATION.
Responding to Pressure, Atherton
Relinquishes Newark Mayoralty.

Newark, Ohio, July 14.-After a
conference lasting many hours, Her.
bert Atherton, mayor of Newark, re-
signed his Office to-day in response to
pressure exerted upon him by lead
ers of his party and personal friends.
The reason given was that it was
hoped thereby to save the city the
disgrace of an investigation by the
Governor, following the lynching last
week of an anti-saloon league detec-
tive and the subsequent suspension OF
Mayor Atherton by Governor Har-
mon. 1t was announced that ''New-
ark wants to do her own house
clearing"
After repeated refusals, Mayor
Atherton late in the afternoon, at
tached his signature to the reslgna-
ton and then burst into tears. Under
the Ohio law, Vice Mayor John NJ.
Ankle, who has been acting mayor
since Atherton's suspension, becomes
mayor.
Eight new arrests were made to-
day as a result of Acting Mayor An
kle's order to arrest every riot sus-
pect. Attorney General U. G. Den
man directed the secert examination
of witnesses and suspects, which
lasted all the afternoon.
The result, it is announced, will
not be given out until the case
against the mob leaders is completed.

HOLDS UP RAISES.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Suspends Advances in Rates.

Washington, July 13.-By for
NAL vote, the interstate commerce
commission to-day determined to
suspend recent general advances
made by the railways in their freight
rates. The tariffs suspended, in ac-
cordance with the policy decided
upon by the commission, for the most
part, are those recently filed by the
Western Trunk Line association and
by the carriers in Eastern classltl-
cation territory, although some OF
the tariffs against which questions
were raised were filed by individual
roads in other territories.
By arrangement with the presi-
dent and with the commission, the
railways agreed to supplement their
original advanced tariffs, which were
to have become effective after July
10, with tariff to become effective
August l.. This postponement was
for the purpose of enabling the com
mission thoroughly to examine its
authority under the new railroad law.
The understanding at the time the
agreement was reached was that
such advances as were general in
character and affected large inter
ests should be suspended pending an
inquiry into the reasonableness OF
the increases.
The vote taken by the commission
was rather on the line of a policy tc
be pursued by that body as to sus-
pensions than upon specific tariffs
Now that the policy of the commits
sion has been determined, it will be
automatically applicable, in a sense
to such tariffs as fall within its pur-
view
It is expected that within a day
or two formal announcement will be
made by the commission of the pre-
else nature of it's policy and in a gen
eral way of the tariffs to be affected
by it. Until that announcement is
made, it is not possible to state def
nitely what particular rates will be
suspended.

VENTRILOQUISM.
An Art That Can Be Acquired by
Practice.

Ventriloquism is curious Illusion.
There are two erroneous popular no.
tions regarding it. One is that it is a
special gift unattainable by ordinary
mortals, and the other that the ven
triloquist produces the sounds he ut
ters from his stomach, the word ap-
pears to signify, and throws" them
this way and that as he pleases.
AS to the first point, anyone can
learn to ventriloquize who is willing
to work at it hard and long enough,
and, regarding the second point the
fact is that no man can produce vocal
sounds otherwise than with his
larynx. 1t is simply a matter OF
cheating the ear. The performer
needs only facility in speaking with
out moving his lips, and little skill
in misleading the attention of the
spectators in order to successfully
mislead.
Ventriloquisms was known to the
Egyptians more than 5000 years ago,
and it is said to have been much used
by priests of old to make the oracles
talk and for other miraculous pur-
poses. The simplest ventriloquial
trick for the beginner to try is per-
formed by going to the door of a
room full of people and opening it
slightly, thereupon conducting a con-
versation with an imaginary person
in the hallway. The deception can be
made effective if we'll carried out.
One day upon entering room in a
big Office building found a red
faced man conducting violent quar-
rel through a speaking tube with
somebody five floors higher. His own
remarks were loud and fierce, and
the replies were family audible.
was not a little surprised to find such
a thing going on, and it was not un-
til afterward that learned that the
red-faced man was doing the whole
conversation.
