calling for the expenditure of more
than a quarter Of a million dollars and
which contemplates the reclamation OF
&C, 900 acres Of land is that which has
been ordered by the joint board OF SUI
pervisors of Muscatine and Louisa
counties. This improvement, which
will stand as one Of the most import
ant drainage achievements OF recent
years in Iowa, has been made possible
/ by the recent action of the Iowa su-
preme court in denying a motion for a
retrial in the drainage case which has
been a matter Of controversy in the
courts for more than three years. AS
result of the decision of the supreme
court the joint boards have already
let the contract for the excavating of
| the bitches and will early this month
meet to receive bids on the pumping
station which is to be erected at Port
Louisa at a cost of not less than
$4,000.
Improvement Bitterly Opposed.
Considerable attention was attracted
to the No. 13 drainage district because
Of the efforts made to prevent the i'm
provement. Land owners in Muscatine
county claimed that the Improvement
would confer no benefit upon their real
estate holdings and hence opposed tho
Improvement from its inception. When
the joint boards established the dis
trict an appeal was taken to the dis
tr1ct court and Judge l.. J. Horan set
aside the action of the boards. An APP
peal to the supreme court resulted in
the lower court being overruled and
the board sustained. A later denial Of
a motion for a retrial marked the con-
clusion Of the litigation and permitted
the boards to resume after delay OF
more than three years.

Work on the immense project which
| will confer inestimable benefits upon
the thousands of acres Of land lying
between Muscattne and Burlington will
be commenced early in the spring. The
contracting firms are now arranging
for the shipment Of the necessary ma
chinery to the scene of operation. The
general plan Of the Improvement. con-
templates the use Of the Muscatine
slough as the main ditch and this gives
the distinct a. length of not less than
twenty miles. The Improvement Will
destroy one Of the few remaining fsh-
ing and hunting zones in the state Of
iowa for the slongh as well as the
lakes which adjoin it will be drained.
The Improvement will not be completed
until late in 1915, a

ton for appendicitis performed sew
eral days ago. He was the youngest
son of w. H. Vanderbilt.
DR.. James Mitchell, the attending
physician, stated that Mr.. Vanderbilt
died from a pulmonary embolus, a
blood clot in the lungs. He explained
that the operation for appendicitis
had been successful, but the blood
clot was the direct cause.
George Washington Vanderbilt was
born at New Dorp, S. l., N. Y, OH No
vember IA, 1862. He was a son Of
William Henry Vanderbilt and a
grandson of "the commodore His
early life was spent like that of his
brothers and like that of other sons OF
wealthy families. He was educated
by private tutors and at the best pri-
vate schools, and he Travelled and
studied a great deal abroad.
In 1898 Mr.. Vanderbilt married
Edith Stuyvestn Dresser, the witty
and talented daughter of Capt. G.. w.
Dresser, U. S. A. This marriage
was "deplored" by many matrons of
the smart set" in New York and
Newport on the ground that the bride
was mot artistocratic enough" Mr..
Vanderbilt, however, pleased himself
and his wife won a reputation as
one of the cleverest of hostesses in
America.
The Vanderbilts had three homes.
One was at 40 Fifth avenue, New
York city, another in Bar Harbor, Me-,
and the third-the real home-at Bit

tate in the mountains of North Caro-
lima

sonal supervision, became a vast ex-
detrimental laboratory of industry.
The best methods of dairying were
sought and found; the science of
farming was developed in an unprcce-
denied degree; the infant science of
forestry was developed under no less
a man than Clifford Pinchot, who was
one of Mr.. Vanderbilt's lieutenants.

TO AMEND CANAL ACT
HOUSE BODY FAVoRs BILL WHICH
PROHIBITS FREE TOLLS FOR
AMERICAN SHIPPING.
SMITH ATTACKS PRESIDENT
Senator critlcizes Wilson Because of
His Attitude on Canal Tolls in View
of Democratic Platform Other
Comments on Message.

Washington, March BY vote
of IA to 3, the house Interstate COM
merce committee decided ON Friday
to report favorably the bill repeating
the clause of the Panama canal act
which grants free tolls to American
coastwise shipping.
On Thursday after President Wilson
had called upon congress to act, Sena-
tor Chiffon Of West Virginia intro
duced bill to amend the Panama
canal act and permit the repeal of the
clause exempting American coastwise
shipping from the payment of tolls.
The text of the provision reads:
The president notwithstanding
anything herein contained is hereby
authorized and empowered by proela-
nation to make, suspend, alter.
change, or abolish any tolls contem.
plated or provided for by this act, and
may prescribe tolls to be charged In
any case in which tolls are prohibited
herein"
Comment upon the presidents mes
sage among members of the house
was widely divergent. Representative
FLOYD of Arkansas of the judiciary
committee, said:
Il absolutely approve of the senti-
ment expressed by President Wilson.
We made great mistake in ever pro-
viding for free tolls"
Representative Doremus of Michi.
gan, chairman of the Democratic con-
gressional campaign committee. said:
The president has not changed my
mind bit. have been for free tolls
all along and will continue the fight
against any repeal"
Representative Mondell of Wyom-
ing. Republican. declared:
Il have taken the same position on
canal tolls as the president now so
belatedly takes, but |, fear that it is
not so much the logic of economics
nor the meaning of the language of
the treaty that has convinced the pres
ident as the fact that to recover from
the mistake in politics which he has
made as to sIexico he is willing to
conform to policy in Panama APP
proved by British craftsmanship"
Representative Kahn of California.
Republican. said:
"One thing appears to me evident:
That is that we are called upon to
retrieve the mistake of the admins
tration in its dealings in Mexico where
British interests have been seriously
affected by sacrificing in Panama an
other interest of vital consequence
to our people"
In the senate Senator William
Alden Smith made an attack on Presi-
dent Wilson because of his attitude
on canal tolls in view of the Demo
cratic platform declaration.

Charged That False Report Was Made
to Interstate Commerce
Body.

Washington, March 9.-"Serious ir-
regularities' in the accounting of the
charged in the report made public
on Friday of an interstate COM
merce commission investigation by
Commissioner Harlan, which makes
the direct allegation that irregular
tiles In reports of operations submit
ted to the commission were made to
influence favorable disposition of st.
Paul railway securities.
The Irregularities disclosed by this
inquiry, Commissioner Harlan points
out, are similar to those disclosed by
the commissions investigation into
the financial operations of the New
Haven and the Frisco system. 1t is
asserted that 1.-THE income of the Puget
Sound was greatly overstated, va
riety of expedients being resorted to
for this purpose; and that the fic-
titious showing of income was used
by the officers OF the Puget Sound
company to aid in, the sale of its
bonds" No reflection is made by the
report upon the financial condition of
the two roads. With notice that
the penalties of the law will be
invoked not only against the ac-
counting officer who shall make
a wrongful report, but those penal
ties will be visited with even greater
severity upon anyone above the ac-
counting officer in authority, who
may share in the responsibility for
any violations of the accounting rules
and regulations which have been pre-
scribed."
