With the coming of winter note the
storm record along the coast with its
weekly and almost daily loss Of lives
and property. This loss is confined
mostly to the small vessels that do q
large share of the coastwise traffic
and practically all the loss both OF
life and property could be saved by
the completion of an inland water
way along the coast. The expense of
this waterway would be in the neigh
borhood of one hundred millions oil
dollars while the Panama Canal will
cost 400 millions.

New York, Nov. 1S.--A note for
$50, GOO, given by Mrs. Isabella V.
Adams, widow of "Al' Adams, the
policy king" to Mrs. Marguerite Gil
bert a clairvoyant, to procure "the
protection of her children by some
mysterious power" constitutes a
valid claim and may be collected be-
fore the death of Mrs. Adams, ac-
cording to a decision today by the
appellate division of the supreme
court
The lower court dismissed the suit
on the ground that the note was not
payable until after the death Of Mrs
Adams. The note is dated Jan. 23,
1907.
Among reasons submitted by Mrs.
Adams for justifying her refusal to
pay the claim was that Mrs. Gilbert
had failed to exercise mysterious
power to prevent danger to the fam
