Wilson on the Coalition"

last night telegram from Sterling, ILL.,.

the alleged coalition of other candidates

date gave notice that he would not be
party to any deals in order to gain the
nomination. II would not condescend
to bestow a political job for the sake of

was the way he phrased his independ-
ence. Continuing. Gov. Wilson said:
Now, I don't much care IL these rumors
Of combinations are true or not; they have
moment, but there is a very strong sus-
picion in the minds of a great part Of the
voters Of the country that there is a
game being framed up. Now, you can't
do business properly when there is sus-
picion about, and there is no doubt that
there is great distrust in the minds of
the people at this time with regard to
the action Of certain Of the men whose
names are very frequently mentioned
wherever politics is discussed.
For the last eighteen months I have
welded considerable influence In New

Canal Projects Approved.

The cooperation Of the federal govern

engineers to supervise the work and of
improving the approaches at Indian creek
on the Lake Erie end and the Ohio river
at the Pittsburgh end. in the construction
Of the canal to connect the Ohio river near
Pittsburgh with Lake Erie Is recommend
ed. The communities interested and
through which the proposed canal is to
run are to furnish $4,000. 600 and $500.
600 bonds for the construction of the
canal. The commission thinks the fed
eral government should assume no finan-
cfal responsibilities whatever in cOnnec-
ton with the project.
The commission approves OF the project
for canal from the southern end OF
Lake Michigan to the western end of
Lake Erie, and recommends the route
through the Maumee river, by way OF
Fort Wayne, with fourteen feet depth of
water.
The commission is strong in recon-
mending legislation that will prevent
elimination of water competition with
railroads and will prohibit the raising OF
water rates under railway control. Every
water carrier engaged in interstate com
merce, it Is urged, should be under the
control Of the interstate commerce COM

Lack of Traffic Noted.

Investigation has failed to disclose the
sources of any considerable traffic for
the proposed canal. 1t would not form a
link In any existing water route and could
only obtain such traffic as passes between
Baltimore and Washington. None of the
coal reaching Georgetown by way of the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal Is destined for
Baltimore. Some coal comes from Balti-
more to Washington by rail, but this is
also carried to Baltimore from the coal
mines by rail. None of it could be ex-
pected to use the proposed canal. especial
two cities is forty miles, as compared
with seventy-nine miles by the proposed
water route. There also appears to be
little or no prospective local traffic along
the route of the canal In Maryland.
THE present boat lines operating be-
tween Washington and Baltimore would
not use the canal, inasmuch as they de-
pend for their business to q large ex-
tent upon the passenger and freight traf-
fic to intermediate points along the pres
ent route.
What changes may come in the chan
nels of trade in the future cannot be
accurately foreseen. 1t is conceivable
that the development of more extensive
lines Of water transportation might make
this project connecting link Of consider
able Importance; but in view Of present
conditions the commission cannot recon-
mend its adoption by the government at
this time"

BROADER POLICY
Senator NeWIands to Discuss
Inland Waterways in Series
of Speeches.

To preach the doctrine Of coordination
and cooperation in the development and
treatment Of the inland waterways of the
United States, Senator Newlands of
Nevada yesterday began an extensive
epeech-making trip. He will cite the
present floods along the Ohio and Missis-
sipi as showing the failure of the present
lack Of a broad policy.
Mr.. Newlands will speak before the
Southern Commercial Congress this aft
ernoon at Nashville. and is on the pro-
gram Thursday Of the National Drainage
Congress at New Orleans.
Floods an Object Lesson.
From New Orleans he will go to Pitts
burgh to speak at a dinner given by the
Pittsburgh flood commission. THE pres
ent floods forcibly demonstrate the sub
stantial foundation for the agitation for
big action on our waterways" said Sen
ator Newlands. before leaving. Our
rivers can never be properly regulated by
unrelated projects for their Improvement
here and there; by channel dredging and
levee protection. II we are ever to pre-
vent these disastrous floods, and make
the rivers serve their proper function of
waterway navigation, each river must be
treated as q unit from source to mouth,
and developed in a scientific and orderly
manner.
Suggests Action by the People.
Il shall urge the different associations
which I address to appear Immediately at
Washington and demand from both
parties the performance Of their platform
pledges with respect to waterways. These
platforms called for the coordination of
the scientific services Of the government,
for cooperation between the nation and
the states and for big continuing appro-
priations for the development Of our
waterways under comprehensive plans.
Mr. Newlands has introduced q bill
which, he believes, will carry out the CO.
ordination which he desires.

Woodrow Wilson's Letters Stolen.
In Chicago yesterday, Gov. Woodrow
Wilson was robbed Of a suit case full of
correspondence by thieves who broke into
his room in his hotel. Just before de-
parting for Syracuse. N. Y, Gov. Wilson
made the following statement regarding
the robbery:
THE robbery will greatly inconvenience
me. But whoever obtained the papers
and correspondence will be greatly dis
appointed. While the correspondence is
OF a nature which necessarily should be
considered private, between the writer's
and myself. there is nothing but what
may be published without doing me harm.

deals with the campaign I am waging.
as do the other documents which were
stolen"

Substance Of the Report.

by the act of February q, 1911, the
national waterways commission" the re-
port says, was also authorized to inves-
tigate and report to Congress upon the
proposed canal to connect the Anacostia
river at some point near the District Of
Columbia boundary line with the Chesa-
peake bay or some tributary thereof.
THE original project. investigated in
1928, was to construct shallOw-draft
peake and Ohio canal, which was then
contemplated. The purpose was to OBJ
tain a water route from Baltimore to
the Ohio and the west. Later projects
have had in view a ship canal to
shorten the distance from Washington
to thes Chesapeake bay and Baltimore.
The main argument in support of such
canal at the present time appears
to be the substantial saving in dis
lance which 1t would afford. The dis
lance from Washington to Chesapeake
bay by the Potomac river Is 10 miles.
while by the most feasible canal route
the distance would be "a miles. The
distance from Washington to Baltimore
by the Potomac river and Chesapeake
bay is 210 miles, while by the pro-
posed canal route the distance would
be 70 miles. liza sea-level ship canal
were constructed, cuts Of from $50 to
200 feet would be necessary, depending
upon the route selected. Such a canal
would be very costly, and only war
ranted II great traffic possibilities ex-
listed. A lock canal of large dimen-
sions is out Of the question because
of the lack of an adequate water
supply.
1.-THE combined minimum discharge Of
the Anacostia and Patuxent rivers, the
only available sources Of water supply,
is reported by the engineer Of this dis
trict to be entirely inadequate. Further,
there would be little time saved in navi-
eating such a canal in preference to the
present roundabout route, since the speed
at which a large boat could proceed
would not average more than four miles
an hour, while on the open river and bay
Il could average ten or twelve miles.
