So far there haven't been any
to impugn the motives and good

when you scratch the imcompe-

CONGRESSMAN KEAHING' s
LETTER.

Joseph W. To.i achieved ma
iional fame when as prosecuting
attorney lie sent some st. Louis
graiters to thc peuitJ ntiary, but
that was cl.ild's play compared
to the task on which he is now
engaged as chef counsel for the
Interstate Com merco Commits
sioa.
He has induce ! Charles S Mel
len, former president of the New
Haven Railroad system, to turn
states evidence and tell the sor-
did story of how the Kidds Of
high finance looted that :remend-
ously valuable property.
The New Haven DEAF was
engineered by j. Picrmont Nor.
gan, the emperor OF American
finance, now dead, He wanted
a molopcly of the railroad, trolly,
and steamship lines of New Eng
land. He carried his point, but
at a fearful cost. He made |el.
len president of the N. H. Ry. and
supplied him with unlimited
cash. How Mellem executed the
orders of his chief will he told
by himself and will be support
ed by documentary evidence
which cannot be questioned.

Won Steuben, who has been describ-

I spent his fortune in making soldiers
out of the coIonists of New York, who
| had left the city for New Jersey after
| the victories of Lord Cornwallis had
! given possession of the metropolis to
the British. His manual of instruction
/ for the army was adopted by con-
gress in 1779. He introduced the strict
est discipline, a change greatly needed
| by the army, and which contributed to
! its ultimate success. He served
throughout the war, and his conduct
was marked by the utmost valor. He
frequently shared his last dollar with
the suffering soldiers, as he often did
his clothing and camp equipments also.
At the close of the war the State of
New Jersey gave him a farm, New
York State gave him 10000 acres of
wild land in Oneida county, and the
/ government granted him an annuity of
/ 50, 800. He distributed his lands among
his aids. his servants and tenants.
In Dec. Z, 1910, monument to the
baron was erected in Washington.
Fifty thousand dollars was appropri-
ated for the purpose by congress. A
replica of this monument was sent to
Germany in 1911.

LITTLE PANAMA'S" OPENING.
Cape Code Canal Ordered Built by
WASHINGTON 13o Years AGO,

Interesting in connection with the
opening of the Cape Cod canal is the
fact that the event carries out an order
given by George Washington in 1775.
The new waterway, which is eight
miles long, connects Buzzards bay and
Cape Cod bay and will shorten dis
tanees and provide a safer route for
$4,000 sea craft year which now sail
around Cape Cod. 1t will make an is
land of the hook shaped cape where the
pilgrims first landed
The canal cost SO, 100000, and it
shortens the present dangerous route
Back in 1T75 George Washington as
commander in chief issued an order:
"Excavate as speedily as consistent
a passage across Cape Cod from Barn
stable to Monument bay to give us
greater security in navigation and
more advantage over the enemy"
The route suggested by Washington
is practically the one followed by the
new canal.

Because of recently published di-
