Judge Adamson declared, however.
that while three lines of objections
had been proposed to the committee
this morning, there was one big ques-

That is the question of whether
congress should grant the rights and
power to one corporation to build on
the property Of another corporation
when both are amenable to the war de-
partulent," he said. This is the big
gest question In the entire situation to
me. and it is on account OF the co1npli-

action that it IS so great. Should situ.

would be that the war department

Steamboat Men Hostile.

It is generally understood that the
steamboat men are opposing the new
bridge proposition because of the
fact that g bridge will be thrown
across the forebay from sne power
house to the west bank OF the river.
The steamboat men have been declar-
ing that the dam has been effecting
navigation below it, but government
engineers figures combat that claim.
Shortly after 9 o'clock this morning
the committee and the rest of the
party were taken in automobiles from
the Hotel Iowa, across the river to

SOCIETY OWES
EXISTENCE TO
MISSION WORK

Chicago, June ~26.-Society owes its
existence to foreign missionary enter
prise, DR.. William A. Brown, former
missionary to the Philippines. declar-
ed last night in an address to dele
gates to the convention of the Inter-
national Sunday School association.
w commonly think missions are
good for the heather, but not intended
for Americans" said the speaker, ION
the ground that missions are meant
primarily for the heather alone. But
on that assumption the most needy
field is America where there are fewer
religious people than in India, A child
born in India is surer to be brought
up in harmony with their peculiar
religious belief than IN richly-favored
America"

view OF life among some christian
workers was urged by Fred B. Smith
OF New York. who addressed the adult
conference. I'm some cities every
problem from the tin cans in the alley
to the chimes in the belfry Is laid at
the church door for solution" he said.
and If we would pay more attention
to the q in the alley than to the
chimes, We would get better results.
DO you know, I don't think it would
be a bad idea If some Of you general
secretaries and some Of the Y. M, C, A.
workers would go out and get drunk
some night and sleep among the tin
cans in the alley. Mind you, I'm not
recommending that, but it might give
