NOT OPPOSED TO
CANAL PURCHASE
Senators Favor Price for the
Chesapeake and
Delaware
SENATOR AGNUS SEES.
SENATOR SALISBURY

WASHINGTON, Aug =. Now that
the Trades Commission bill is out OF the
way the Senate expects to devote COM
paratnely little time TO the considcra-
tion of the remaining trust bills As a
matter of tact, the debate on the Trades
Commission bill was Tor the most part
a. debate ON the entire trust question
and the Clayton ANTITRUST bill was a.
much before the Senate as was the
Trades Commission bill. The result is
that senators expect the remaining
trust legislation to be disposed of with
little delay.
There has, accordingly, arisen re-
newed hope among the friends of the
River and Harbor bill that the Senate
viii again take up this measure and
will succeed in having il adopted in
spite of the iilibustering tactics of Sen
ator Burton and one or two associates.
General Felix Agnus. who was chair
man of the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal Commission, and whose figures
the Senate adopted In the pending bill,
which contains a provision for the pur-
chase of the canal, was in consultation
today with Senator Salisbury. of Della
ware. who has shown the deepest inter-
est in the acquisition of the canal by
the government. Mr.. Salisbury assured
General Agnus that the friends of the
bill have by no means abandoned hope
of its eventual passage, Senator Sim
mons. of North Carolina, member Of
the Committee on Commerce, is equally
confident that the bill will finally pass
and a number of other Democratic sem
ators are quietly arranging that the bill
shall be taken mp again when the Sen
ate has passed the remaining antitrust
bills and is awaiting the action Of the
various conference committees.
General Agnus was in conference with
a number Of Republican senators during
the dav. oil Of whom assured him that
they earnestly desire the passage of the
bill and expressed the belief that some
arrangement would finally be reached by
which the bill could be passed by the
Senate. The provision for the acqui-
sition Of the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal has never been attacked by Sem
ator Burton. and IT is understood that
he regards this provision,as entirely nm
Objectionable There is. therefore. no
reason to fear that in case II becomes
necessary to drop some provision Of the
present measure in order TO conciliate
Mr.. Burton and his assoeiates. the
Chesapeake aud Delaware Canal pur-
chase clause is in any danger
General Agnus also saw Representa-
tive Hampton Moore. the president Of

Says Brother At Bier

Standing before the altar OF the his
toric church OF St Anne de Detroit.
Howard and Nineteenth-sts.. Saturday
morning, the Rev. F'r. Augustine Bonn
holt, of Dubuque, Ia, extended his
arms aver the casket wherein rested
the remains Of his sister, Frances
Bomholt, who was slain last Wednes-
day morning, and preached u sermon
which moved TO tears the $50 men
and women present. No bitterness.
no malice for the man who had killed
HIS sister with a Ratchet crept into
the priests tones. Instead, there
was in. bis voice a plaintiye note that
bespoke his faith In the belief that in
the end there would be justice, happi
ness and peace.
Sister. dear sister" said Fr. Bonn
holt. as be leaned over the flower
laden casket, you bore your burdens
in life, and bore them we'll In this
world, your heart was my heart: your
affection WAS my affection Now that
you have gone to the land where we
shall all meet. let our hearts and our
affection still be as one. Pray for us
sister, III heaven, as you did for Us
here. The blessings OF our dear God
will follow you. know, for you lived
on earth with God, and you died with
God"
The priest turned from the colin to
the crowded pews, where women
some well-dressed, others wearins
flimsy shawls upon their heads, were
weeping In silence Men. too. had
bowed their heads and passed hand
kerchiefs over their eyes.
IL stand here over the mangled re
mains OF my sister" said Fr. Bonn
holt This is what Is left in this
world, after an assassin has done his
work. But my dear people ! am not

geance. All that we can ask for In
this world is justice. and II justice
does not prevail here, then divine
justice shall come TO him who has
violated the divine law. @
I'VE have had consolation in the
sympathy of so many friends. The

who Try 10 DO our best, should find
sweet solace ia our faith that after
life in this world. there will be an
other world-a world OF peace, and
tranquility and happiness"
FIR Bomholt then drew a picture OF
the early life or his sister in Belgium.
\, we were OF family OF IL chill

toward the form In the cofin II was
the youngest, and you were the
fourth child. And through the years
OF your youth, YOU lived for the hap

The voice died away into little more
than whisper, as FIR. Bomholt closed
his sermon with:

Before walking slowly back 10 the
altar. he turned again 10 the rows OF
mourners and murmured: God bless
you ALL my friends"
Outside. the tolling OF the bell In
the big tower OF st. Anne's could be
heard. The casket was carried down
the long aisle and to the hearse. and
the cortege proceeded TO Holy Cross

Judge Philip L. Van Zile. who has
paid special attention TO the divorce
evil and other problems arising from
unfortunate marriages. declared that
the proposal to publish the banns was
one OF the strongest good points OF
the report,
I'm my judgment, the publication
of the banns will prevent many hasty
an dill-advised marriages" said Judge
Van Zile, land 10 one VINO has served
In divorce court for any length OF
time, il Is plain that hasty marriages
are responsible for most of the d.
vorce cases.
Judge Van Zile declined to com
ment on the eugenic provisions OF the
report. The question is OF such a
delicate nature. he said, that it should
not be touched upon without long and
mature consideration.
81 am heartily in favor Of the plan
TO have marriage licenses published
for 80 days preceding the date OF the
ceremony said Rabbi Leo VI. Frank
lin, pastor of Temple Beth I'll. TOO
many engagements are the result OF
a short acquaintance and the nasty.
ill-advised impulse OF young folks who
have not learned the true significance
OF marriage and the problems OF mar
ried life
While he advocates the publication
OF the banns as safeguard to young
folks who plunge into matrimony
without proper consideration OF the
step. the Rev. Joseph A. Vance Is OF
the opinion that marriage laws can
be made too stringent.
"You cannot make a man and wo-
man love each other and live happily
together by means OF legislation he
said
Educating the people, particularly
young people. TO the fact that they
assume a great personal responsible
ity when they take the marriage vow
Is the best means OF preventing un-
happy marriages. said Judge George
s. Hosme!.
Law alone will never solve the
problem" he said. People who are
about TO be married must realize the
responsibilities then assume when
they are welded. Teach them this
sense OF responsibility, and the mum
Der OF divorces will be- decreased
greatly"

firm believer. OF publicity before mar
