BODY AN UNSEEN TARGET
FOR RAIN OF BULLETS
Soldier Shot to Pieces by Comrades
Presidio Practice.

Monterey, Cal.-His body an un-
seen target for the rain of bullets OF
the firing squad at rifle practice,
Claud Hetherton, private of Com
pany K, Thirteenth Infantry, sta
toned at the Preside, who was TAX
ing measurements of the range, was
literally shot to pieces and died after
lingering in the reservation hospital
for two days. The accident occurred
last week, but the facts have just
come to light.
All during the afternoon of the
day he was shot Hetherton crept
about on the embankment, peppered
with lead while bullets whizzed
about him. His cries could not be
heard. After the first bullet had
brought him down he made an effort
to drag himself out of range, but no
matter which way he turned his es-
cape was cut off by the flying mis-
siles. Bullets sped about him, rip
ping his clothing and tearing his
flesh. When markers found him his
head had been shot nearly off. Heth-
erton was married.

The body was found only a few

disappearance.
The torso was found wrapped in a
piece of carpet, save for one limb,
which was later discovered in a cor

clay floor of the basement ito a
depth of perhaps three feet. The
leak in the water pipe, cause of

A LONG and Wise step
IN The RIGHT Direction.
Country Has Logical Plan for
River Improvement
FOR The FIRST Time IN ITS HISTORY
Mr.. Madden Believes New Railroad
Bill Will Attract Traffic to the
Rivers and Result in Real
Competition for the Future

Washington-Repr Mar
tin B. Madden, of Illinois, mem
Der of the rivers and harbors COM
mittee of the house, is an enthusiast
tic believer in the future of the wa
terways of the United States. In or
der that he might assist in the work
of developing the internal waterways
of the country and to bring to the
subject intelligent understanding,
Mr.. Madden withdrew from the COM
mittee on appropriations, of which
he was a member during the six
tieth congress, to take position on
the rivers and harbors committee.
In speaking of the generally merito-
rious character of the river and har-
Dor appropriation bill now in con-
ference, Mr.. Madden said:
81 think the country is to be con
graduated upon the systematic plan
outlined for interior waterway de-
velopment in the present rivers and
harbors bill.
For the first time in the coun-
try's history the rivers and harbors
committee has gone into the ques-
ton of river improvement on an ex-
tensive scale. This work, followed
to its logical conclusion, will in the
not far distant future lead to re-
suits so beneficial that they cannot
be imagined at this time.
The necessity for river improve
ment now that the great lake har-
bors have already been provided for,
becomes apparent to every one who
understands the situation as reg
ulator of railroad rates.
with the provision in the rail-
road bill which recently passed the
house, to the effect that railroads
shall not in the future, be allowed
to reduce rates to drive out water
competition and then after it is driv-
en- out raise them, makes river i'm
provement more essential than ever.
"This provision in the law will at
tract navigation to the rivers. That
navigation will be protected and
there will be real competition be-
tween rivers and railroads that will
result in cheaper rates, better ia
cilities, quicker movement and more
courteous treatment on the part of
railroad officials to the shipping pub
lie, is certain,
"The policy of annual appropria-
ton for rivers and harbors,, inaugu-
rated by the rivers and harbors COM
mittee of the present congress, is a
step in the right direction. 1t is en-
titled to receive the support of the
American people. And much of the
sentiment in favor of waterway i'm
provement is largely traceable to the
work of the national rivers and har-
bors congress, an organization of the
very first Importance.
"The hope of the future genera
tons lies in the development of the
rivers of the country. There is linn
it to railroad development. The linn
it has been almost reached.
ITO carry the products of the field
the factory, and the mine to the
people of the nation at the lowest
cost possible, and to enable the peo-
pie of one section of the country to
deal economically with the people OF
the other section, is one of the par
amount duties of the national gov
ernment"

Railroad Rejects Proposition.

The Gulf and Ship Island officials
have again turned down the propo-
sition of the Long Beach Truck
Growers Union for a spur track on
which to ship their vegetables North
via the Gulf and Ship Island to jack
son to connect with the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad for Northern and East
ern points. The first proposition made
to the road was that a spur track be
put down that would reach the IN
terror of the main truck-growing
community The last proposition was
that the union would furnish the
ground for side tracks to the electric
line if the Gulfport and Mississippi
Traction Company would haul their
cars to the Gulf and Ship Island road
for them. This the traction company
refuses to do because the officials
claim the charter will not permit it.
Nothing daunted the truck-growers
will keep at this plan of having
competitive railway lines until it is
accomplished in one way or another.
