RIVER and HARBOR
CONGRESS WILL DIS.
CUSS TRANSPORTATION

iaD-In view of the agitation going
on, not only in the United States but
IL European countries as well, over
the free toll provision of the Panama
Canal bill, and the five per cent re-
bate given ships flying the American
flag and engaged in the foreign trad,
as provided in the Underwood-Sim-
mons Tariff bill, the forthcoming con-
vention of the National Rivers aad
Harbors Congress, which is to be held
in this city December 3, and 5 next,

will take on matters relating to water
way improvement and their relation to
The subject of transportation.
While the program for the conven
ton has not been finally made up, in
the main it is completed, and for va
riety and scope will compare favot-
ably with the program of preceding
conventions. In addition to President
Wilson, Secretary of War Garrison,
under whose direction the Board of En-
gineers, charged with river and harbor
work, perform their functions, will
have a most important place on the
program. This being new admins
tration, made up largely of men who
have come from scholastic walks OF
life, the position which it will take on
the intensely practical question of the
development of the rivers and harbors
of the country will be watched with
the greatest interest.
The Dominion Government will be
represented by Hon. John D. HaZen,
Minister of Marine and Fisheries and
Minister of the Naval Service, who has
been especially designated by the
Premier, Hen. Robert Laird Borden, to
represent "Our Sister of the Shows

one, and perhaps two of the Ambassa-
doris from foreign countries will tell
of the development of ports and rivers
by their governments.

ranged for, one of which will be La

Fulton County Viii
Get Rid of Frank

If the accusations and charges of
the defense, alleging horrible preju-
dice and race feeling on the part of
the public, the jury and even the state
lawyers, are accepted as true by the
Judge, new trial in another part OF
the state will necessarily follow.
Whether those charges will be taken
as true, however, is something which
it is impossible yet to predict.
In the vent Judge Raon refuses 10
grant a new trial, the case will then
be appealed Immediately to the state
