PLAN RELIGIOUS CAMPAIGN FOR MEN

St.. Paul, July 30.-The executive committee of the Men and Religion Movement was in session in St. Paul today for the purpose of planning a worldwide campaign for a more ma terial religion than now offered, which is to be launched from the Twin Cities on October l.
 This movement is intended to en- list men of all churches" said A. J. Mason of St. Paul, one of the original committee of 97. Ut is not a revival, 1t Is merely campaign for better con. ditions. While the religious movement will not be slihgted the material pros- perity of the city and it's people will be uppermost in the minds of the lead CTS as they have long since resolved that to make an appeal to men we must have a more masculine religion"
 The movement was started two years ago in New York by business men who became impressed with the fact that the churches in many instances failed to appeal to the men.
 The president of the committee of ST. James c. Cannon, president of the Fourth National bank of New York, will be in charge of the opening ac- tivities of the campaign
 The campaign embraces 90 cities. It will last in the United States from Oc- tober until the last of May, and then will be carried to foreign countries.

CHARLOTTE FACES A WATER FAMINE Peril to Health Is Driving Hundreds From The
 City

Charlotte. N. C.. July 3o.-With the big ronds which have furnished Charlottes water supply for many years only de- pressions of sun-baIsed mud, and the stop cocks to the small supply in the reservoir shus down tight since earit Friday mora ing this city is undergoing a preiod of distress that Is as antique as it is serious. The plan to haul water in tank cars from the Catawba river 12 miles away, was gotten well under way Saturday and thousands of gallons were dumped into the settling basis but this movement re- ceived setback today when one of the big pumps at Mount Holley broke down, delaying the programme of the authori- ties to resume regular water service by Tuesday.
 No rain of consequence has fallen in this section in many weeks. With the famine of water the sewerage system has been abandoned, bringing about menace to health that has necessitated stringent sanitary regulations. Special sanitary guards are being sworn in every day to patrol the city, along with squads of extra iremen to minimize the danger from fire. for the the city now is absolute ly at the mercy of flames. Hundreds are leaving Charlotte, 1ocking to the seashore and mountain resorts to escape the pfes- ent perils

Pittsburg, July 30-(Special l-"Hello, Kid" doesn't go as saiutation on Pitts turg streets. according to the mandate is- sued by Magistrate Brady in Central sta lion court today. Fstt.
 Three fiashily dressed young men wan drred down Fifth avenue when the white lights were bright last night. Every time they encountered young woman one of the trio sang out gaily.

Chief McQuaid hap rened in during Magistrate Brady's hear iDgs today and heard the evidence against the mashers.
 Give 'em the limit judge said Me Quaid after the policeman had testified.
 "There is lot of hello kidding in my district" said another Fifth avenue roundsman who was in court on a case.
 "We'll have to stop it. l guesg," said McQuaid, and when the afternoon relief vent out the chief called the downtown squads before him.
 No more mashers are to be permitted to chortle Hello, Kid at a strange wom- an or . young girl in the downtown dis trict, either by daylight, or after tark. D. you get that, men?'' said McQuaid.

CANADIAN SHIP RUNS ONTO ROCKS Fear Was Felt for Crews Safety But Danger Is
 Now Past

Halifax N. &, July S0.-The new Cana diansnavy was nearly deprived of half it's strength today when the flagship Niobe crashed on the lodges southwest of Cape Sable. .Fiye hours later she foated, leak ing hadly and proceeded n d1r nel own power to Shag harbor. 10 miles away where she is at anchor with six fathoms of water and soft mud bottom under her.
 The first vessel to reach the side of the disabled cruiser was the United States revenue cutter Androscoggin, which was cruising in the vicinity. The Niobe's wire less call for help was picked up by the Androscoggin, which promptly flashed back she would stand by to help and would do all in her power.
 Through the dense fog and heavy sea, which is believed to have been the cause of the Niobes accident the Androscoggtn rushed and was standing by the Canadian cruiser when the Canadian government s Lady Laurier and Stanley, which had been sent to the scene, arrived from St. John N. B., with the tug McNaughton Of Yarmouth
 The N1ODe, DONtNtls lOuDu tildt sue Wds able to take care of herself. Although water was pouring into several compart- ments her pumps kept her fairly clear and Commander Mcdonald of the cruiser ex- pressed his thanks to the American cut ter for her help, proceeded to a safe har- bor, conveyed only by the tug.
 Sixteen men of the crew who left the cruiser in two boats were the cause of much anxiety for many hours after the accident, as they were lost in the fog and at the mercy of the gale and strong tide which. it was reared, would wreck them on one of the many ledges that abound about Cape Sable. It was learn ed by wireless tonight, however, that all had joined their ship.
 So extreme was considered the plight of the Niobe when the ship first ground ed that Commander Mcdonald had or dered all boats cleared away, ready for abandonment of the vessel if necessary.
 The Niobe piled up on the southwest ledge early today while rounding Cape Sable. The impact was so heavy as to drive her hard up on the pinnacle of rock.
 Quarters were sounded and all the six hundred men on board responded with true naval precision. There was no pan jo and the order to clear away the boats was executed as if in routine drill. Pumps were manned and set at work and 1t was found that they could dis- pose of the water.
 Meanwhile the wireless apparatus was brought into play. IS. O. S.'' signals wore heard at Passport and as far south as Boston and were picked up also at Cape Race, N F., and Sable Island, also at Fathers Point, Quebec. They re suited in the quick dispatch of the gov ernment steamers Aberdeen from this port and the Lady Laurier ana the Stan- iav from St John. N. B., as well as sev- .ra, other vessels from other ports.

New York.

 Since so many Important witnesses have defended MT. Morgan for his part in the negotiations which led to the consumma- tion of the Tennessee Coal and Iron ac- qurement by the Steel corporation, the desire of members of the committee to hear Mir Morgan has increased. Lewis Cass Ledyard, attorney for Oliver Payne who first urged that MT Morgan be called in to suggest the Tennessee purchase by the steel trust strongly defended Mfr Morgan before the committee yesterday and denounced intimations that 8 con- spracy existed at that time. MT. Ledyard also intimated in his testimony that an effort was being made in the investigation to manufacture political capital
 The best man to defend J. Pierpont Morgan for his part in the Tennessee Coal and Iron transaction is MT. Morgan him. self" said Chairman Stanley today. T sincerely hope MT. Morgan's engagements in Europe will not deter him from ap- bearing.

RECLAMATION OF
 SWAMP LANDS Remarkable Work Is Being
 Done in Louisiana nNCE nCE MIG pEn
ONCE OCEANS BED
About 5000, 1000 Acres Marsh Lands Being Drained and Transformed Into Valuable Farms
 and Plant ations

New Orleans, July 30.-Reclaiming desert is a task set for itself by the United States government in the arid west. Reclaiming an ocean and con verting it into lands as rich as any In the world, Is task set and being accomplished by the people of Louis lana, at their own expense. This in brief way, expresses what is being done in Louisiana in the way of re- claiming millions of acres Of wet prairie" land along the gulf coast and extending 150 miles inland. trav ersed by the innumerable waterways Ages ago this land was the oceans bed. Today it is the deep, rich alluvial soil of the delta, and modern science has made it as dry, safe and usable as the prairie lands of the middle west.
 It is estimated that there are 9,000,- O00 acres of marsh lands in Louisiana susceptible to reclama tion and cultiva- tion and which will add over s450,- 000,000 to the annual agricultural wealth of the state. This, it is esti- mated, has an annual earning capacity of $50 per acre, which is far below the present earnings of the cultivated areas of southern Louisiana.
 The movement for reclamation began in a small way 10 or 2 years ago. but only within the last two years has It attracted national attention and today the drainage and reclamation scheme in this state is comparable only with the great work accomplished by Hol- land in the past thousand or more

Valuable Testimony

MT. Morgan's own story of that trans action and the momentous events at the time of that financial panic and the effect of the steel stock transfer in the midst of it are certain to be of great value. That MT. Morgan will be subpoenaod 10 appear before the committee when he does return there now seems little doubt. MT. Schwab will be examined, particu- larly about steel prices and the Steel cor porations power In steadying the market prices of steel products throughout the country MT. Schwab will be willing and representative of the Steel corpor- alton say.
 Chairman Stanley made flying trip to Washington last night returning to New York today.,-.. hile in Washington committee at work there on features of the investigation ot yet developed. He also learned of the resolution introduced into the House by Representative Roberts of Nevada, urging that committee of
 inquiry into the House Investigating com mittee be appointed. On this MT. Stanley would make no comment except to say that the work he is doing in the investi- gation he would let stand for itself.
 Grant B. Schley, former manager of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company syndicate and a member of the broker age firm of Moore & Schley. which is declared to have been saved from a finan- cial crash when the Steel corporation took over the Tennessee company, has been subpoenaed to appear before the committee Tuesday morning.

 without the courtesy of a notice'
 '"The conservative party welcomes an appeal upon reciprocity,' MT. Borden as- serts. ''The President of the United States has more than once emphasized the fact that Canada is today at the parting of the ways. These two ways lead in very divergent directions. The choice of the people will be fraught with momentous consequences to the future destiny of the country It is right and just that they should speak because with them rests the ultimate decision" 2 Tn conclusion MT. Borden declares that the government has placed the agreement before its own honor as it began in May an investigation into newspaper reports that Minister of the Interior Oliver had profited in the transfer of lands to the Canadian Northern railway and import ant witnesses from the west were to have been examined on Tuesday.
 "It is distinct breach of constitutional usage" says MT. Borden, that par lament should be dissolved while one of its committees is engaged in the invest!- gation of charges which involve the honor of minister of the crown and the fate of a government. Such course constitutes an alarming and dangerous precedent
