At FIRST 1t was beiisTed the vessel
could be raised and repaired, but aft
er thorough inspection By diTsrs
the conclusion was reached that il
wouId be cheaper TO pay the amount
OF insurance to the steamboat con-
pany and abandon the boat
The owners Of the Majestic believ-
ed that the boat could be raised and
proposed to the un6erwriterg TO pay
one-fourth of the expense Of floating
and repairing her. but the proposition
was refused. However. the Wisherds
II IS said. still believe she can be
raised and will make the attempt 10
do so providing the river fails az Low
this fall as it did last season.
At present the river is low, but
should the rains continue during the
fall as some expect, there VIII be
small chance of raising the boat Ir
such an event the wreck will be de
stroyed by dynamite
If the Majestic is raised it will b
stripped of everything above the mail
deck. except the structural steel frame
and rebuilt from the hull up, Just al
was done at Peoria last winter whe,
the same boat. then known ag tn
Keystone State, was remodeled AM
renamed the Majestic. The most serl
GUS obstacle to raising the Majestic I
the sand in the hull. Sand and mu
have been carried by the curren
through the hole in the side into tn

he can save his boat. Otherwise tn

Mo. on October Is. lal0-will
shortly be in possession of one who
will be universally recognized as the
champion of lSa-pounders. The
field of eon,enders is simmering
down. and the number of elisihles for
the title can now be counted on the
diSits of Nordecai Browns pitching
hand. And baseball lore tells us that
the ex-Cub has three fingers on that
mitt.
So it is with the middieweisht
situation. There are Just three men
in that division who are so far su-
perior TO the res; of the crop OF pre-
tenders that the only way TO clamp
the middleweight crown down on the
head of the rightful owner would be
TO hold round-robin OF bouts, the
ultimate victor to be proclaimed the
world DER as the middleweisht
champion.
There are any number of fair
"middies," but the trio who should
be fighting i, ont for final honors
are Mike Gibbons, Jimmy Ciahby ami
GecrSc Chip. If Gibbons wi.l snlH

Washington. July 3l.-The river

beng defeated. Talked to death
may bs its epitaph. and by a former
chairman of the rivers and harbors
committee of the house. Yet there
are those in the senate who still be-
lieve the bill will pass that body al

from the commerce committee. and
one of these optimists is the distin-
guished senior senator from Michi-
gan. William Alden Smith, whose
name has frequently been heard re-
Gently as likely candidate for the
presidency.
Senator smith in reviewing the
present situation in respect to the
river and harbor appropriation bill.
said: The subcommittee of the
commerce committee which reported
the river and haroor bill TO the SEN

in practical accord when the bill was
finally presented TO the senate
'-Some of the larger projects for
which appropriations had been made
from time to time. like the ColuIn-
