TREATY TO PREVENT
DRYING OF NIAGARA.
United States and Canada Reach An
Agreement.

Agreement.
The United States and Canada have
negotiated a treaty which controls
the diversion OF water from the Nj
agara river and preserves the scenic
grandeur OF Niagara Falls for all
time. The treaty goes into full ef-
effect automatically in March, upon
the expiration OF the law which now
limits some OF its provisions.
The international agreement was
made in response to a general de-
mand that the question OF water di-
version be settled once and for all
in accordance with expert opinion.
The treaty maker had exhaustive
tests conducted by hydraulic en-
gineers, and it was determined that
diversions should not exceed $4,000
cubic feet a second on the Canadian
side and 10000 cubic feet a second
on the American side, out of a total
flow OF 100000 cubic feet second.
The use OF this quantity OF water for
power purposes. the engineers found,
would not affect the appearance OF
the Falls sufficiently for the eye to
detect Since only about half the
quantity permitted by the treaty is
now diverted, twice the present
horse power can be produced with
out affecting the scenic beauty OF the
falls.

VANIMAN INVENTS
WONDERFUL AIRSHIP

NEW YORK, Feb. ia dirigible
airship that will not only automaucal-
ly ascend and descend at will but
which will sustain as perfect equili-
hrium in the air as steamer on the
surface of the ocean, has been in
vented by Melvin Vaniman. according
to an announcement made today in
the Scientific American.
The inventor, who recently built
the giant dirigible Akron but failed
in an attempt TO cross the Atlantic,
said his previous failure, resulted, be
cause he had not solved the problem
of equilibrium. Vaniman. who is
backed by F. A. Seiberling, OF Akron,
Ohio, is preparing to build an air
craft which he thinks will revolution
ize aeronautics. The envelope of his
balloon will be made of a cotton and
rubber preparation, reinforced by the
finest piano wire wound in such a
way that it will have the maximum
tensile strength This he says will
resist the increased pressure in the
gas bag due TO a rise in temperature
In the suns rays.
In the envelope will be collapsible
gas tank. II the operator wishes to
ascend, he allows the air TO escape.
To descend, he merely pumps in more
air. With this kind OF craft, Vani'
man says il would be possible to re
main in the air for weeks. He be
lieves il would be adapted for the
economical transportation OF passen
gers. troops or explosives.
Thomas A. Edison, when interview
ed in his laboratory in East Orange
regarding the inyention, said:
strictly speaking, do not believe
in dirigibles, although I know nothing
about them except what | have read
But vaniman has, applied principle
which IS SO obvious that II dses moi
need TO be demonstrated. ! wonder
that IL has not been thought OF be
fore. II Is the simple idea that usu
ally proves a success"

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Between
$4,000 and $4,000 in cash was the

SPECIAL SESSION CALL
HITS TAFT men IN u P
Presidents Supporters Had
Everything Arranged To Send
Delegates To Chicago

MARQUETTE, Mich, Feb. lo.--
The news thar a special session OF
the legislature is TO be held has not
been received with any great pleas
are by the Republican leaders In me
upper peninsula. particularly as the
presidential primary is the business
that is specially urged on the mem
bers. :,
The Taft men had everything well
coopered up to send two delegates 10
the Chicago convention for the pres
ident and to send to Bay city dele
cations that would contain a large
percentage OF members favorable TO
Captain W. j. Richards, OF Crystal
Falls, for delegate at large.
II a presidential primary law Is
passed they will have 10 begin all
over again and carry their campaign
down TO the rank and hle OF the
voters. If they had TO go to the
people on the Taft Roosevelt issue TO-
morrow, they would feel most un-
certain about the outcome.
IL will be no disappointment TO the
upper peninsula leaders II the legis-
lature gets into a snarl over the pro-
posed law, and no legislation results.
Neither has the calling of the special
session sweeteued the temper of the
upper peninsula men who have been
pulling away from Governor Osborn
OF late. The direct primary move
ment has never been popular among
the leaders in this region. and they
have been particularly jealous OF
their prerogative TO pick the men
who should go to the national con-
vention.

Senator Townsend Makes a
Lengthy Defense of the
National Administration

ADRIAN, Mich. Feb. 5.--Rooseyelt
and Taft tgured to large extent In
the Mckinley club banquet last night.
Theodore III. Joslin, mayor OF Adrl-

When Senator Townsend made q
strong dt'fense of President Taft and
his admin istration, the crowd applaud

contrast between the enthusiasm for
Roosevelt AND that which was dis
rlayfd for Ills successor in the White
Hou8e. Mr.. Townsend entered into
detaiied review OF President Tatt's
acts. He said Roosevelt pointed the
way. Taft has followed II. and ought
to be renomirlated and reelected.
Gov. Osborn had been expected to-
speak for Col. Roosevelt and Clifford
Pinchot for Senator LaFollette. Mr.,
PipChot declined 10 accept the invita-
tion because he has shifted his sup
port 10 Roosevelt. Congressman
Morse, Of Wisconsin, took his place.

Is still an active candidate for the
Republican nomination for president.
ard his assertion was supported by
Frank p. Robards. the LaFollette rep
resentative in Michigan, who showed
4 telegram from Ch airman Houser, or
the LaFolIette national committee,
stating that the wisconsin senator
would positively remain candidate.
Mr. Morse praised Senator LaFoliette
as q citizen and statesman.
Congressman Wedenleyer was given
loud applause when he arose TO speak.
He pointed to Rooseveits course IN
