WASHINGTON. Jan. "A New York delegation headed by Mayor Mitchell has arrived in this city to urge the appropriation of $14, ,230, 900 for Improvements to the harhor of New York
 This is the total of the various times in the project recommended by Col. William M. Black of the Army Engineers Corps. for complet- ing the removal of rocks and shoals, and otherwise accommodating the Hudson and East rivers, and their continent streams to the growing commerce of New York City.

HOUSE DEBATES
 0N ALASKA BILL
Attempt to Substitute Sc ate B,i for Wickershan Measure +
 Failure

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28-The House today resumed the discussion of the Alaska railroad bill The debate will continue for several weeks, according to the administration leaders, but the ultimate passage of the bill is as sured, as poll of the members of the House show an overwhelming majority for the measure.
 An effort was made to substitute the Senate bill for the House bill, because the Senate railroad bill drawn by Senator Chamberlain, provides for an appropriation of $4O,OO0,OOO, while the Wickersham bill provides only for $35,000,000. As it requires un- animous consent to make the change it could not be done, several objec- tions being made by congressman op- posed to the bill.
 It is expected that the Rules com mittee of the House will vote next Wednesday to make the change in the bill, in which event it will require only majority vote to substitute the Senate for the House measure.

not DEAD. 49,. >-..-
She was a patient at DR.. c. c..
Meredith's "house of mystery here,
and is now dying at her home in New
York, having never recovered from
the effects of her illness.
These startling statements were
made today by District Attorney r. H.
Jackson in explanation of the futile
search that has been made for the
girl.
He declared he had positive infor-
nation to bear out his statements
At the Arnold residence in New
York the girls father, Francis R, Ar
mold, denied she was at home, and
reiterated his belief that she was
dead.
If Jackson's information is correct
the last and most remarkable chapter
is added to the story of her disappear
ance, and motive is furnished.
The police and district attorney,
however, are not working on the Ar
mold feature of the case against DR..
Meredith, who is at liberty on $12, 900
on a charge of performing an illegal
vi Ahl0Ous ollu
also larceny of her jewels. Miss Lucy
Orr, his assistant, is also out on bail.
Mrs Allison, resident of Wilkins
burg, dropped from sight in March,
1913. Her disappearance in many re-
spects paralleled the swallowing up of
Dorothy Arnold.
Search of the drab house on the
banks of the Ohio disclosed a fur |
pony coat of a tan shade, and black |
bag. Both are said to have belonged !
to Mrs. Allison.
Already four persons, one a sales

.HURRAH! T. R. SHOT SOMETHING

New York, April 11.-Cable dis
patches from Brazil indicate that Col.
Roosevelt has shot something, but
there is wide division of opinion
here today as to what is a curucui,
or cururo, or a spalacopus poeppigi-
as the prize is Variously designated.
Describing the rare specimen Col
Roosevelt is bringing back to
Manaos, the Sun declares he has shot
a cururo, a "burrowing rodent which
lives underground" and explains that
its scientific name is spalacopus
poeppigi.
The Herald explained today that
curucui is a bird short and stout
with dentate bills and the first and
second toes are reversed" In color
the Herald declares the bird is Shin
mering green or brown marked with
pink or yellow"
At the American Museum of Nat
ural History nothing was known of
the cururo or curucui. The natural
lists there never heard of the animal
or bird, the secretary said.
