MAKES A STATEMENT AS TO
HIS POSITION.

Howell. Mich. April S.-Edmund {.
Shields, chairman Of the Democratic
state committee, makes the following
statement, explaining his views regard
ing instructing the Michigan dclega :
ton to the national convention:
"As the time draws closer to the
national Democratic convention Is be-
comes more evident that the Demo-
cratic party is rich in presidential can
didatos. and that nearly every part oi
the country will present 10 the con-
vcntion some favored son for consid !
GRAFTON. Already Gov. Wilson. Gov.
Harmon. Speaker Clark, Rep. Under
wood and Gov. Marshall each has a
following of delegates chosen. In addi-
ton to this. 1t is fairly certain that
Mayor Gaynor Gov. Foss, Gov. Burke
and others will be placed before the
convention
AS to some OF these candidates
their qualifications and claims ioi
others, the Democrats of the nation
as a whole. have not been informed
of their merits. In nearly every case
the elements which might prove weak
nesses have not been made generally
known. or received very careful con
sideration. AS the sole desire OF every
loyal Democrat is that the best ant
strongest man be chosen. 1t 10 bu'
fair and reasonable that the claims
for every man be given n full hearing
and the longer and more careful th'
consideration. the more apt is the con
clusion TO be correct.
"Thc Democrats of the state OF Mich
igan have not. for years, furnished any
Democratic electoral votes, and i
would seem to be illogical for Mlchi'
gan. therefore. to take an arbitrary 20
sition in demanding of the Democrat
OF the nation any particular candidate
out of a group. each Of which Is s.
we'll qualified. until the Michigan dele
cation has hac an opportunity to 9e
all possible information as to ever'

Waterways Commission Urges
Protection by the Federal
Government
CANAL ACROSS L. PENINSULA
Ditch Connecting Lake Erie and
Michigan Suggested
Inadequsey Of Present Water Terminal
Is Pointed Out. Withheld APP
preparations.

Washington, April S.-k'urther legis-
lation TO protect waterways against
railway competition; TO establish ami
cable relations between the two and
TO promote federal cooperation with
local intefcsts in construction OF
canals are urged in the first report
of the National Waterways Commits
sion made public today.
The report declares that the Federal
Government within the comparatively
near future must inevitably assume
control Of some features Of water
power regulation.
The commission recommends that
army engineers be assigned to super
wise the proposed canal to connect the
Ohio river near Pittsburgh with Lake
Erie when $40 900, 600 cash and IS 900, =
900 in bonds are made available by the
communities interested. The Secre-
tary Of War, however, may demand
that these amounts be increased
A survey for a canal from Lake
Erie to the Southern end Of Lake
Michigan is recommended and the
commission concluded from its present
route would be through the Maumee
river by way of Fort Wayne and that
fourteen feet would be a practical
depth.
1t recommends increased power for
the Interstate Commerce Commission
TO govern joint rates and through
routes between rail and water lines
TO compel physical connection between
them and TO compel railways To charge
Jess than local rates To all lake and
river ports on through traffic exchang-
ed with domestic boat lines -
other recommendations are for leg
islation To control public terminals;
federal participation with localities
in flood control; prevention Of dc
forestation on agricultural lands
and reforestation OF denuded tracts;
amendments of laws controlling water
on navigation streams and within the
public domain.
Legislation is necessary To prevent
the elimination of water competition
and to prevent the raising Of water
rates under railway control in the
opinion of the commission. It be-
lieves the interstate commerce laws
are now insufficient To preserve water
transportation and foster its growth
It urges that every water carrier in
Interstate commerce be under control
Of the Interstate Commerce COmmis-
sion to enable the commission 10 es-
tablish through routes, joint rates and
through bills of lading, without which
the commission believes the rehabilita-
tion of water traffic will not be com
pletc.
The report arraigns the inadequacy
OF water terminals and urges that fur
ther river and harbor improvements
be avoided without assurances of pro-
per terminals on completion. Federal
condemnation Of private property for
public terminals is not recommended
except where a locality establishes its
inability to deal with the terminal
problem
other recommendations are To sub
ject mining entries 10 the paramount
right Of water power uses; land en-
tries TO the right of construction 60
transmission lines or forests and re-
forestation OF their own lands, not ac-
uurcd by the government.

NOT THAT.KIND OF
WATER POWER DAM
No Damage to the keokuk Plant by
the Recent High Water or the
Ice Gorge.

The Gate City received letter
this morning from a former citizen
in which he state that he noticed
from the press dispatches that water
has injured the cofferdam, power
house and bridge" This paper. has ao
vised the former citizen of the true
situation and relieved his mind thai,
any damage had resulted from water
to the power house and told him there
was one reasos why no damage HAD
resulted-and that reason was Hugh
l.. Cooper.
The chief engineer in charge of the
keokuk construction builds dams
that are stationary; they are not of
the freshet or flood kind. and the
dispatch sent out from this city to
the effect that the power house was
damaged was most untruthful as well
as most unfortunate.

SHORT HONEYMOON
FOR WHITESIDE
Matrimonial Bark Hits snaa and
Goes Down After Months Voyage
on Choppy Sea.

John Whiteside's hymenal canoe, af.
ter months buffeting from billow
to billow on an angered matrimonial
ocean, struck snag yesterday and
sank with John on board. John
floundered about in the waters for a
time, to be rescued by the police and
locked up in the city Jail.
One little month ago, John and his
present wife launched their bark, but
there are indications that it never did
sail very smoothly Instead of sailing
as we'll behaved hymenal bark
should, it reared and plunged and re-
fused to follow the lines usually in
tended for successful honeymoon.
Mrs. Whiteside says John who is
somewhat of matrimonial sea salt,
kicked up a terrible splash and did
disturb her peace by using loud, in
decent, oppobrious, threatening and
several other different kinds of Ian
guages, towards her.
Whiteside was arraigned before
Judge Mcnamara this morning, where
he entered a plea of not guilty to his
wife's charges His bond was fixed at
800, but he could not furnish it and
was locked up. Whiteside says his
