ASKS AN INQUIRY INTO
VALUE OF C. & D. CANAL
Senator Salisbury Will Attempt to
Bring About Increase in
Appropriation.

Senator salisbury of Delaware today
| introduced a resolution authorizing the
coast and insular survey committee of
the Senate to conduct an Investigation
! into the ownership of the Chesapeake and
Delaware canal and its value and uses
The canal. he said, is the most important
link in the inside waterway which the
government is building from Boston to
the Gulf of Mexico. The resolution,
which permits the committee to summon
witnesses and to take testimony, was re-
ferred to the committee on contingent
expenses of the Senate
Senator salisbury. in an interview.
pointed out that as long ago as 1907
the army engineers had recommended
the purchase of the Chesapeake and
Delaware canal by the government at
cost of S2.514.2S3..0. The House river
and harbor bill. now pending, carries
sl.3o0.000 for the purchase of the canal
Senator salisbury takes the position
mat TO appropriate so small a sum after
the recommended tons of the army en-
sineers. will merely defeat the proposal
TO purchase this canal. He has intro
duced proposed amendment to the river
and harbor bill when 1t reaches the SEN
ate, appropriating the sum recommended
by the army engineers. In the mean
Tune. he is anxious to obtain all the in
formation possible regarding the owner
ship OF the stock Of the canal what it
pays and the business of the canal at
present.
The capital stock of the canal ;s
s1,903.23S.50. and the government al
ready owns 3SR per cent of the stock,
having acquired it when the canal was
built.
The canal at present has depth OF
about nine feet. The army engineers
propose to deepen the canal to twelve

NO FUSION. SAYS PERKINS.
n X n ck-Down-and- Drag-Out'
Fight With Republicans.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE position
of the New York state progressives in
opposition to any coalition with the
republicans is expressed in a letter
signed by George w. Perkins and made
public today by the progressive state
committee. Mr.. Perkins addressed the
letter to Prof Frederick NJ. Davenport
Of Hamilton College.
Speaking of what he terms the eff
forts of the republicans to work up
some sort OF a scheme by which there
would be harmony between the re-
publicans and progressives this fall
Mr. Perkins says: Every day, il seems
to me, makes it more and more plain
that we are in for a knock -downand-
drag-out fight all along the line. Re-
publican leaders fail entirely to recog-
niZe the tremendous changes that have
come about in the thoughts of the
people as a result of the mighty eyo-
luton that has been under way in re-
cent years, and there is no more chance
of their old leaders or old principles
ever again being acceptable to our peo-
pie than there is for a SNOWFALL to sur
vive in hades-

British Army Officer Who Pene'

Visit to United States.

Sir Francis E. Younghusband who
achieved fame in 1908 by heading the

Geographic Society. He is now making
his first visit to the United States.
having spent twenty -four years on the
Indian frontier
Il have been in your country but four
days. and. of course. have not been able
to form much of an impression of your
people" he said but your buildings and
streets are wonderful. Why. even some
Of your skyscrapers in New York are
works of art. The people of your coun-
try are inclined to look upon the civiliZa-
ton of Europe as aged; but after you
have spent a score of years among the
oldest peoples on earth you are apt to
consider the countries of Europe as being
along in the twenties and the United
States as a youth in his upper teens.
Sir Francis is a gold medalist of the
Royal Geographical Society. having been
SO honored at the age of "a. He became
a member of the First Dragon Guards
transferred to the Indian political DEPART
ment in 1890. was promoted to major
ship in 1900 and to lieutenant colonelcy
in 1908. He has travelled in Manchurla,
from Picking to India by way of Chinese
Turkestan, in Hunza. in Chitral. in

Asiatic and South African countries. He
is the author of many books on the coun-

Explains Strange Superstition.
One of the strangest superstltutlons OF
the Tfbetans was explained by Sir Fran
els as follows:
THE people believe that the soul OF the
Dalai Lama does not die. Upon the
death OF the ruler it simply passes from
his body into that of a babe born as
near as possible to the time OF the
Lama's death
1.-The present Dalai Lama was the son oil
a peasant The average life of these
rulers is about eighteen years. 1t is upon
their eighteenth birthday that they come
into their full rights. and the regents, not
at all anxious to turn over their property.
generally contrive to see that the lama $
life comes to a close about this time.
They then search around for baby into
whose body the dead rulers soul may
have entered
Sir Francis expects to remain IN the
United States six weeks. part of which
time he will spend touring the west.

Although the new House trade COM

The Senate bill, it was stated. would

stitute Investigations ON its own initiative

iation OF the Sherman act. and its cham
pons declare that elimination of the
initiative in the House bill would rob the

the practical decisiaI TO incorporate all
