Charge Of Channel I'M
prOVement
PLEASED WITH PRIVATE
AID In THE PROSPECT

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. ls.-Colonel
eeorge A. zinn, the new army engineer
N charge Of the river and harbor work
at this port, took formal charge of the
local Office on Saturday. succeeding Lieu
tenant Colonel Joseph Z. Kuhn. who was
transferred to the Engineer School at
washington, d. c. The new official was
introduced to the office force in the
Wltherspoon building BY Colonel Kuhn.
who also explained to his successor the
character Of the Delaware river work,
what has been accomplished. and what
stlll remains to be done
he new engineer official is a Penn
sylyanian, having been born in Mechan-
iscsburg, Cumberland county. and his
work as an engineer, since his gradua-
tion at West Point. has extended all
over the country. He has been station
ed at various times at Willet's Point
1alveston, Fortress Monroe. Milwaukee
Chicago, st. Louis, Louisville and Port
land, Me. He also served for a time in
the Philippines and for several wears
was secretary Of the Mississippi river
commission.
Public Interest in Work
Colonel linn is the highest ranking
officer who has ever had charge Of the
engineering work at this port He has
not vet familiarized himself with eondi-
tions here, but fully appreciates the i'm
portance of the work
Tidal channels differ in different
places, he said. philadelphia is in
competition with other cities on the At
lantic coast, and to offset the advantages
which other cities have in natural har-
bors, she must have her harbor deepen
ed for the traffic of ocean steamships.
Boston and New York have excellent
harbors, but they also have had to do a
great deal of work to provide deep water
channels
"There is one thing that pleases me
very much, and that is the fact that
the state and municipal authorities. as
well as the trade organizations, take an
active interest in the improvements of
the navigable streams of the port Of
Philadelphia, and I will welcome them
al on tins important matter and work
not only to maintain the present condi-
tions, but to further advance the com
nercial interests of Philadelphia so far
as the betterment of its navigable
streams are concerned.
Will Inspect River Work.
Colonel linn stated that this week.
after becoming acquainted with the
workings of the Office. he would make
an inspection Of the work being done in
connection with the 35-foot channel. pro

BROWN MAKES
THEFT A VIRTUE
Arden Anarchist AIS0 Praises
Man Who Sells His
Vote

George Brown, cobbler and single
tax enthusiast of Arden, said in a
speech in Philadelphia yesterday that
any man was traitor who refuses to
sell his vote when he had a chance.
since this was the only opportunity a
man had under present conditions OF
sharing in the common wealth. He
addressed the Philadelphia branch of
the Brotherhood Welfare Association,
and the room was crowded with un-
employed men, most of whom seemed
to agree with the speaker in his most
radical theories.
Brown said he was a tramp, had no
religious beliefs and would not go to
heaven if he could All politicians, he
said, we're thieves and robbers. all
interest was robbery, and the work
ingman had the right to steal all he
could get He cited as ideal the In
dian theory of communal ownership,
under which, if any man had two
spears, the one he was not using be-
longed to the tribe
No one seeing the eagerness with
which his hearers ate the hard bread
and drank the weak lemonade that
was passed around could accuse those
of being 'parlor socialists
The other speaker of the day, Mrs.
Cora d. Harvey, national secretary
and theasurer, was much less radical.
She impressed upon her audience the
value of organization and advocated
united opposition to the vagrancy acts
of various States, under the authority
of which, she said, the unemployed
often suffered She condemned pri-
vate detective agencies for their en-
croachment on the duties Of the reg
ular police.

The public is very generally inform
