STEEL TRUST CUTS
 PRESIDENT'SSALARY
Farrell, the New Incumbent, to Get $50,O00 a Year as Against Corey's
 $1OO,OOO.

The salary of the President of the United States Steel Corporation was fixed yesterday by the Finance Com mittee at $5O,O0O year to take effect upon the assumption of the office by the newly elected President, James A Farrell. William Ellis Corey the re- tiring President and Charles M Schwab, his predecessor. each got $1OO,- 900 a year but the directors have felt that this salary was disproportionate te to the place, particularly in view of the fact that Chairman E. H. Gary the chief executive officer of the cor poration. also gets $100,O00 year.
 It is more than likely, 1t was said yesterday, that the directors would have reduced the salary of the Pres for the unwillingness of Judge Gary to see the compensation of the Pres ident reduced while MT. Corey held the place.
 The retirement of MT. Corey has af- forded an opportunity to reduce the salary without embarrassing the hold CT of the office. The high commenda- ton of the ability of MT. Farrell, voiced in the formal announcement of his selection, makes it clear that the reduction is in no sense to be con- strued as a comparison of his services with MT. Corey's.
 It is we'll known to the friends of MT. Farrell that he is abundantly satisfied with the salary which the Finance Committee has fixed. As President of the United States Steel Products company, MT. Farrell is re- ceiying $25,000 year. He is to be formally elected President at the meeting of Directors on the last Tues day of this month.

HOW TO SAVE LIVES
 OF THOSE WHO FLY.
Sportswoman Suggests Packing Par chute to the Machines-Novel
 Suggestion.

Deploring the deaths of Arch Hox- sey and John B. Moisant as needless sacrifices in the battle of man and the elements for conquest of the air, Charlotte Granville, English sports woman and aeronaut, member of the Royal Aero Club of England with 30 ascensions to her credit, declares that It IS criminal to permit enthusiasts to FISK thelr lives in aeroplanes unpro- vided with parachutes.
 A great many of the 30 deaths or 191O taken as aviation toll" said Miss Granville at the Hotel Somer- set. would doubtless have been pre- vented had manufacturers of aero planes awaited themselves of the safe guard of balloonists, @ parachute.
 "On Bleriot the attachment could be fastened along the tail piece with the rope about the waist and shoulders of the aviator and not in- terfering with him in the slightest. If the monoplane 'bucked' as in Mois- ants case, his headlong pitch to the earth would have been arrested the moment his weight detached the um- brella-like canvas and opened it.
 'In the case of the biplanes, with their network of wires I believe the upper plane expanse could be used as the carrying sherf for a parachute of different type, one that when sud- denly opened, would support the en- tire aeroplane until the aviator again had it under control, or at least check falls that are now sure deaths.

 Long ago there was town saying: No one dies in Monroe except from old age or accident" But whether from a green Christmas or what, this winter has broken any heretofore record by far for the number of Mon- roe people who have died. in a like period. There were six deaths re- corded in December. and three so far this month. And no one seems to re- member an equal in the amount of winter sickness.

 The proper care of ten thousand people daily has long been greatly lie Charities in the City of New York by important defects in the machin- cry of the Department. One is caus-. ed by the inadequate facilities pro- vided at the hospitals and institutions of the Department whereby. during a large part of the year, there is 8 great overcrowding of the wards of such institutions. Adequate and sys- tematic provision has never been made to. extend the facilities of the needs of the City. New York is grow ing at the rate of more than one hundred thousand in population an- nually, and, if but one half of one. per cent. of this number calls upon the public authorities for assistance, WI11Cn 1S <A CACcSAAukly COif6CA tel1f C estimate, this alone requires an ex- tension of such facilities to care for at least five hundred additional patti sents and inmates annually. This in creased demand is almost as certain as the rise and fall of the tide in the harbor of the City, and until provision is made to meet such in crease in a satisfactory manner, over crowding of the institutions. with all it's hardships to the sick and suffer ing poor, must continue.
 Another defect of administration arises from the attempt to employ suitable hospital helpers at made quate wages, with the result that there is constant change In the ranks of the lower grade employees which is detrimental to discipline and destructive of efficient administration throughout the Department.
 The Department of Public Chari- ties in the City of New York is re- quired to meet greater burdens than ment in the world. The only larger city, London, has, as a city. no public charity problems, the care of the poor being delegated to thirty or more unions, each having it's own part of the city to look after. New York's congestion of population and volume of immigration exceed that of any other city. The Commissions CT in charge of the Department should have ample funds and a com para lively free hand to develop the work under his care.

years has been a member of Congress,
and for fourteen years a member of
the Committee of which he now is the
ruling head, through the mutations of
politics,
1--WE have embarked upon the policy
of annual river and harbor bills, to
which l am committed and which |
think is of so much Importance in
river and harbor work that would
not like to see it changed.
II think the various projects here
tofore adopted and to be adopted in
the future, can be better taken care
of under the policy of annual 'appro-
priations than any other. think it
would not be wise to return to the old
plan of biennial or triennial bills, out
of which grew the piecemeaP pro-
cedure of the past.
1--WE have already entered upon
plans for rivers and harbor improve
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1911-04-19

ments upon the idea that VIC, are to
have annual bills for the improvement
of quite number of large projects
and many smaller ones. Among the
larger are the Mississippi, the Ohio
and the Missouri Rivers, and If no
change is made and we continue to
have annual bills, as we should and
vii, these will all be completed within
varying lengths of time from twelve to
eighteen years. Along with these
projects are quite number of harbor
projects, which are dependent upon
this feature of annual bills for their
completion within given periods of
time.
al think the country is to be congrat-
ulated on the personnel of the COM
mittee on rivers and harbors, nearly
all of the older members, men thor
oughly versed in river and harbor
work, being retained while the new
members are equally able and efficient
and greatly interested in that kind Of
work.
Another gratifying feature is, that
the ms mbership is so well distributed
throughout the country, each great
section being represented on the COM
mittee, which to me is an earnest of
the national idea which should prevail
in committee dealing with all parts
of our common country looking to the
comprehensive improvement of our
great natural highways of trade and
commerce.
There will be no river and harbor
legislation at this session of Congress-
The committee, however, or some part
of it will likely pay visits to various
sections of the country for the pur-
pose of inspecting work under way
and proposed projects, but just what
sections will be thus visited, has not
yet been determined, and will not BE-
for some little time to come.
There will very likely be hearings
during the present session. certainly
there will be if anyone wishes to be
heard, as the committee will seek to
get all information available for use
in the prs paration of bills.
In this connection I desire to say a
word in behalf of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress, whose cam.
paign of education in favor of ma.
tional policy of river and harbor i'm.
brovement, and in favor of liberal an
nual bills, has been of great benefit in
creating public sentiment looking to
the needs of the whole country along
the lines of making our rivers work
and thereby assisting in a solution OF
the question of transportation
