NEW LAND ON
RIVER MUD
Congressman HeaId Wants
Wilmington to Follow Phil
adeIphia In River Work
CITY HAS ONLY SHORT
TIME In WHICH TO ACT

Business men Of Philadelphia have
begun an agitation for having the low
lands about that city filled in with
dredgings, along the lines that Con-
gressman William H. Heald is advo-
eating for the reclaiming of Whining
toms lOwlands and the development
of the river front. Congressman
Heald has pointed out many times the
necessity of having the lowlands be-
tween the Christiana, Rrandywine and
Delaware rivers filled in while the
dredges are working in the river.
There is but a short time I'm which to
decide on this Improvement that will
development.
At the meeting of Philadelphia busi-
ness men this week the movement to
have the lowlands along that citys
river front filled in with dredgings
was started and another meeting will
be held on Friday.
Philadelphia has been and is being
shamefully neglected" declared John
Bailey. This is true not only of the
League Island Yard, but of the Della
ware channel as well. Down at Reedy
Island this very minute they are put
ting mud and other dredged material
back of a dixie and that stuff is being
swept back into the channel by every
ebb and flow of the tide. The mil
lions that have been and are being
spent for a thirty-five-fo0t channel
are wasted. BY this method, the
dredging companies are being kept
permanently employed upon profitable
| contracts and the prosperity of the
port of Philadelphia is being post
poned indefinitely"
The charge made an immediate
| sensation.
"The mud isn't being put back in
the channel now is it?' asked Con-
gressman McCreary.
1T is and you can see it being
J dumped for yourself at any time,
, declared James E. Lennon
IF that is true. there must be an
! investigation of the whole matter, 81
said CO. gresham McCreary. Con-
/ gressmen Donohoe and Moon express
ed the same thought
Says More Money is Needed.
Major Deakyne, of Philadelphia, the
| United States engineer in charge o
the thirty-hye-toot channel, was not II

1T is perfectly true that some o
the dredging material does get bacl
into the chanenl. The reason is tha
we have not money enough at dis
posal to make other distribution of 4
than that which is now being made.
1t would undoubtedly solve the diff.
ficulty If this dredged stuff were de.
posted upon the lowlands of South
Philadelphia and I feel authorized IL

erty owners or any other corporations

Three Days Pay Deducted for Part
of Governors Western Trip.
From the New York Times
When Gov. Wilson got his salary
check for juno to-day he noticed that 1t
was short about $50 Of the regular
amount, $3.50 He sent for John Riker,
clerk in the State treasurer's office,
called Rikers attention to the error, and
said he would like to have 1t rectified.
RIker replied that in accordance with
the State constitution, part Of which he
read to the governor. pay for three days
in June, when the governor was con-
cluding his Western trip, had been de-
Quoted. and a check covering those three
days was sent to President Ackerman,
of the senate, who was acting COVER
nor.
President Ackerman also got the
greater part Of the governors May SAL

the West.
Gov Wilson accepted the explanation
and pocketed the check with a smile.

A C0ATLESs COURT.

Judge Removes Garment and In
v1tes Every Man Present to Do So.
From the st. Louis Republic.
That is rather a shocking report which
proceeds from New York. Judge Robert
w. Archibald, Of the criminal division Of
the United States Circuit Court, his
sense Of the judicial proprieties yielding
under the stress of New York climatic
conditions, impulsiveIy removed his coat
and invited every man in the court room
to do likewise. From all which we may
deduce three general propositions.
In the first place, tn, New York in
cident goes to show that courts are
merely human; they do get hot. SEQ
ondly, the conclusion is imperative that
Western courts are superior to those OF
the East IN their general regard for the
decorum Of the court room. We have
no shirt-sleeve judiciary in the West.
But the most important point deveI-
oped is the superiority OF the Western
climate. With US the administration of
Justice has suffered no perturbation be-
cause Of the heat wave. When We go
to law, the rigors of climate do not
compel US to attire ourselves as for a
golf tournament or a rowboat regatta.
Western justice may be tempered with
mercy sometimes. but It IS never
melted by the heat, as It Is in the coat
less jurisdictions of New York
The Washington herald., 1911-07-10

order to overcome this condition, the
cabinet is urging the King to create
enough peers on the government side
to create the majority necessary to over
come the adverse vote. So far the
prime minister has been unable to Sc
cure King Georges approval to such a
step. Some 500 new peers will be
needed on the Liberal side to get the
upper hand of the opposition, and this
large number undoubtedly deters the
King from taking action which would
be the most revolutionary in Great
Britain in more than two centuries.
