PLANS ARE CONSIDERED
OPEN UPPER RIVER
Col. Langftt Arranges for Hearings
on Subject Here and
Elsewhere.

1t may be that the idea Of George
to make the Potomac navi-
gable from Washington to Cumberland
will be carried out in the next few
years. President Washington thought
so much of the plan that he started
the building of a canal around the
Great Falls. and the remains OF the
canal are still visible. Recently the
United States engineers Office at this
city took up the idea, and surveys made
within the past few months show that
the plan is a feasible one, though the
surveys are by no means complete. ana
the plans for the work are only tenta-
tive.
To obtain the IDEAS Of those interested
in the proposition to open the upper river
to navigation. Col. Langfitf, engineer OF
ficer in charge Of the Washington dis
trict has arranged a series Of hearings
at points along the river and at these
hearings data will be obtained as to the
probable value the opening of the upper
river would be to commerce. Inc nrst
of these hearings is scheduled for May
at Cumberland and Hancock, Md, and
will be followed by hearing at Harpers

the portions OF the river impossible for
vessels, and that water several feet deep
will be found in the rest OF the river ex-
cept in isolated spots. The cost Of the
undertaking has not been figured
on by the engineers. and it is impossible
at this time to form any idea as to the
amount that would be needed for the
work.

relating to the pension fund.
He was informed by the Vice President

GILMAN CLAIM DISALLOWED.

The Court of Claims today disallowed
the claim of James ID. Gilman of Louis

DEN0UNCES "GERRYMANDER. -
Senator Burton Terms Ohio Law
Outrageous legislation"

Declaring that the bill redistrictine
Ohio recently passed by the state legis-
lature is IAN outrageous piece of legis-
.lation, and that the referendum should
be invoked against it, Senator Burton
of Ohio has given out a statement charg-
ing that the democrats have conducted
an unfair ''gerrymander." Some of the
democratic members OF the House from
Ohio. who will lose their jobs because of
the new redistricting law, have also
lifted up their voices in protest against
the measure.
Senator Burton claims that the demo-
Gratis have so manipulated the boundaries
of the congressional districts as to nuliify
the real voting strength OF the republic
cans of the state. His criticism, 1t Is be-
lieyed. is a forerunner of action on the
part of the republicans of ONO In de-
mand for referendum vote on this
matter.

NEW LAW NOT POPULAR.
Objections to Long Term in Army
Shown hv Records.

That the average American does not
care to enlist and mortgage his future FOR
a long term is made evident by the prac-
tical failure of the new recruitment law
passed by the last Congress-.
Four months operation of the law has
resulted in an average enlistment and re-
enlistment of 2 100 men. This is material
loss, as compared with the operation OF
the old law for corresponding period,
when the enlistment was only three
years.
Probably Secretary Garrison will use
this fact to re-enforce the recommends
ton he is contemplating making to Con-
gress for a further amendment to the
laws SO as to provide for a two-year
term of enlistment, and for the creation
of an independent reserve.
