SHOWS FACTS TO MEMBERS
Improvements Being Made Are
All Under Anticipated
Plans.

Representative Murray Hubert. New
York city member Of the Rivers and
Harbors Committee, who was reelected
from the Twenty-hrst Congressional dis
tict renewed yesterday his campaign
for the improvement Of New York
harbof and IL. tributaries. He has
sent . personal letter TO every Senator
and Representative emphasizing con-
gressionai dereliction In the past In pro-
viding for the adequate Improvement Of
the harbor and urging immediate con.
sideration Of this question at the short
session. which convshes December I.
Some Of the facts concerning the great
need for such Improvement. as pointed
out by Representative Hubert, follow +:
The amount expended by the Federal
Government for the improvement Of the
port Of New York IL less than 3 per
cent. Of the total amount appropriated by
Congress for all river and harbor i'm
provements.
The East River Improvement go per
cent. completely has been carried on
under an ~ant1Quated plan adopted In
1858.
Reasons for Improvement.
THE water borne commerce Upon this
sixteen mile strait. connecting the upper
New York Bay with Long Island Sound.
In nearly 50.000.0 900 tons per annum.
having q value Of 1 500. 600. 900. be-
sides tho transportation Of nearly a.

Of thirty-one feet. Deepening the chan
mel to thirty-fve feet will make Of the

Commander Jessup. u. 8. ~. says
that eight capital ships Of Any foreign
power can successfully blockade New

nizes him and comes down to pre-
sent arms" in salute.
What are your general orders, SEN
try?"
MY general orders are to take
charge of this post and all government
property in view. To walk my post in
military manner, keeping constantly
on the alert, observing everything that
takes place within sight"
"All right, what are your special or
ders?"
My special order are: Post No. 2

that adobe building l will allow no
American soldier to cross the line nor
anyone with any part of the American
uniform. | will allow no armed Next
acns to cross to this side. / will halt
any vehicle crossing the line until they
are searched by custom officials"
"All right, but suppose a Mexican
should fire at you. What would you
uC
Il would return the fire" And in
the way he answers no trace of fear of
any such occurance can be detected
rather there is something in his man
ner that would lead one to believe that
he is just hoping and praying for just
such an occurrence.
But supposing a half dozen armed
Mexicans came toward you, wha,
would you do?"
"I'd halt them and call the corporal
of the guard"
But suppose they didn't halt, just
kept on coming Then what%
"Well, l don't hardly know l
wouldn't run though"
The officer of the guard mounts and
passes on toward the next sentry. AS
he passes the Mexican sentry the lat
ter takes his pistol in his hand. The
officer halts and in the electric light
the Mexican can see him also pull a
pistol The two face one another about
20 PAGES apart. The officer turns his
horse and starts on. Four more Mex
leans appear from around the corner.
The officer again halts and wheels his
horse to face them. The four go back.
The officer goes on but looking back
he sees all five again, and they stand
there watching him out of sight. OF
course they don't mean to shoot. They
are just innocent bystanders, though
Ameu. Maybe they are just up from
the interior and wanted a chance to
see their sentry pull a scare" on a
gringo officer.
Bye and bye our sentry sees a party
coming down the hill behind him. He
challenges and the answer comes back,
Corporal of the guard with relief"
, advance one to be recognized" And
now he is relieved and may go to the
! guard tent on the hill for four hours.
What his thoughts are as he rolls up
in his coarse blanketes, are only to be
conjectured.
Perhaps he is thinking how he would
like to hear an order in the morning to
Ego across" or more likely he is won
dering when we will be sent home.
Now then in quick succession he re-
views the events of the past four
months-the hikes, the hard drills. the
injustices. the compensations Maybe
he is wondering what you are all doing
up there in Idaho-whether 1t is cold
weather yet, or If Nihart will be elect
ed and get county division, or If some
one who laughed at him for coming
down here, isn't at this moment taking
