JAMES CREEK CANAL
SOON TO BE memory
Former Shipping Channel to Be Filled
as Health Move.

The historic James Creek Canal, be-
tween n and P streets southwest, must
be sacrificed to the demands of SANTA
ton.
Health Oficer w. c. Woodward some
time ago condemned it as a breeding
ground of contagion, but a quibble as to
whether it came under supervision Of
Congress as a navigable stream prevent
ed action by the District. Corporation
Counsel Conrad H. Syme gave an opin-
ion, however, that 1t did not come under
the head OF navigable waters, and there
upon the Commissioners ordered it filled
in the interests of the public. The hear-
ing On the case was held June @. F1nal
sstionssvaS taken yesterday.
The st. James Creek Canal as it was
originally known was a project of Mai.
L'Enfant in 1871 when Washington was
being laid out In 1872 work was begun
on it, but soon discontinued because of
lack of funds to carry it on. In 1875 pri-
vate capital finished the trench which
connected Tiber Creek with St. James
Greek, forming what was called the Is
land" At that time, when the Eastern
Branch was the head of navigation for
big vessels, 1t was a great advantage to
the shippers of Washington.
The canal was one and one-eighth miles
long. 1t was used by boats OF consider
able size until the time Of the civil war
In recent years the canal has been a
bed of stagnant water where mosquitoes
bred and all manner Of filth accumulated

Paris. Sept. 29.-The author of all the
intrigues against the German chancellor,
DR.. Won Bethmann-HollweE. is Prince
Won Buelow. who is seeking to become
chancellor in order to make the best pos
stble peace for Germany at the earliest
moment. Bethmann-Hollweg is the sole
remaining member of the Nationalist
clique, who has not been disgraced since
the war began. He covers the Kaiser
Prince Won Buelow's object in provok-
ing his fall in to resume the traditional
policy of consigning the Kaiser to the
background. He is using the imperial
secretary of the treasury, DR.. Helferich,
as his puppet. but is pulling the strings
himself Won Buelow is also fooling the
pan-German, inducing them to help him
to return to power by promises Of a
sterner war which he has no intention
to fulfil.
Once again chancellor, he will quickly
drop the frebrands and begin peace

Wife MURDERED
Husband toBeArrested in Con-
nection with Ghastly Case.
By the International News seryice.l

(By the International News seryice.)
Mountain View, n. H, Sept. 2S.-High
Sheriff Chandler tonight announced that
tomorrow he would prefer a charge of
first degree murder against Frederick l.
Small, the body of whose wife was found
in a pool of water in the cellar of her
burning home at Lake Ossippee.
Around the woman's neck was a rope,
tightly drawn. Her head had been bat
tered with a bludgeon.
But for the pool Of water the evidence
of murder would have been forever de-
stroyed. The pool was in the basement
of the cottage, and when flames destroy
ed the structure, the woman's body fell
through the burning floor in such a way
that the head and neck landed in the
water and were saved from the flames.
Small was arrested during the day. At
the time the fire broke out in his cottage
he was miles away In Boston. He left his
summer home at O'Clock in the after
noon Thursday. The fire was not discov-
cred until about 10 o'clock at night. Any
theory involving an accusation against
the husband, who is a Boston real estate
man, would have to attribute to him a
pl.,n for arranging an automatic means
for the cottage to catch FIRE after that
Mrs. Small did not come out Of the
house to say good-by to her husband
when he made his departure yesterday
afternoon. This fact is disclosed by George
Kenneth, who drives the depot wagon,
and who took Small 70 the station. Ken
meth says that on all previous occasions
of the same kind Mrs. Small had made
her appearance and hidden her husband
an affectionate farewell.

NEW SUBMARINE WAR
FEARED BY AMERICA
Attitude of Bethmann-Hollweg Causes
u. S. to Be Perturbed.

State Department officials viewed with
uneasiness yesterday the speech of Chan
Cellor Won Bethmann-HoIlweg to the
Reichstag. They interpreted 1t as a dec
laration that Germany contemplated re-
sumption Of relentless submarine war
fare agains the allies, and against Great
Britain in particular.
1t was pointed out that the chancellor,
after arraigning England a., Germany's
most egotistical, fiercest ana mast OBJ
stinate enemy" and declaring she had
broken one international law after an
other, he declared:
"A German statesman who would hest
tate to use against this enemy every
available instrument OF battle that would
shorten this war-such a statesman
should be hanged
1t was remarked that the speech seem
ed to verify clippings sent to the State
Department some time ago by Ambassa-
dor Gerard in which Admiral Won Tirpitz
was credited with exerting himself to
have the U-boat campaign renewed.
At that time, the State Department un-
dertook to ascertain If the old sea-fighter
spoke authoritativeIy.
1t is likely Mr.. Gerard will be able to
throw some light on this
At the State Department yesterday,
Secretary Lansing denied that the Ameri-
can Ambassador had been Summoned
here to discuss questions of submarine
policy. But it is clearly understood that
he will be able TO give valuable informa-
ton on the present and future political
relations of this country and Germany,
not only to the state Department but to
Shadow Lawn. 1t was declared at the
department yesterday that he had not
transmitted any information indicating
an intention by Germany not to abide by
her pledges.

GREECE HAGGLES
over WAR TERMS
Seeks to Settle Territorial
Claims Before Moving.

CBy the International News Service.)
London, Sept. 29.-Greece tonight is re-
ported haggling with the entente over
the territorial terms before taking the
final action which will bring her into the
war against the central powers.
This information Is contained in a dis
patch from Rome which quotes the we'll
informed newspaper Messagero. It is
stated that Greece has asked the allies
II they are still disposed to make all the
concessions promised for Greece's cooper
alton at the time Of the Saloniki Incident
Greece some time since announced the
annexation Of northern Epirus, being, at
the time IN close touch with Germany.
This section, which is in southern Al
bania, also is believed to be desired by
Italy and for that reason Greece ap-
parently is determined to know just
where she stands before committing her
self finally. The allies hold the upper
hand in the situation, however, and with
Constantine face to face with war or
revolution, his action, it Is believed, can
not be long delayed.
No word has yet been received Of the
action taken at the crown council today
at which the ultimatum to Bulgaria was
TO be completed. Dispatches are anxious
ly awaited here.
Meanwhile the revolution Is spreading
by leaps and bounds. Not only has the
Greek warship Hydra been seized by the
rebels and brought to join the allied feet
In Salamis Bay, but the Kilkis, formerly
the United States battleship Idaho, also
Is reported to have deserted. The Greek
ministry Of marine denied this and the
minister has expressed the deepest re-
gret over the detection of the Hydra,
but the report persists in Athens. where
all Is excitement.

Asoury Park, N. J.. Sept. 29.-Presi-
dent Wilson authorized the publication
here today of a telegram from Jere-
miah A. oLeary, president of the
American Truth Society, criticising his
alleged pro-British policies. In his
answer. which was also made public,
the President said:
Il would feel deeply mortified to
have you or anybody like you vote for
me-"
President Wilson, the International
News Service is authorized to state,
does not intend to answer the criti-
cisms of his administration by the Re
publican candidate, Mr.. Hughes, for
the present at least He does not con-
slider that Mr.. Hughes has touched
upon the real issues of the campaign.
Beginning probably tomorrow, when he
will address the Young Mems National
League of Democratic Clubs, the Presi-
dent proposes to ask Mr.. Hughes a num-
Der of questions. These will deal with
the foreign policy, changes in the tariff,
Mexico, and all vital matters which
would be inherited by the Republican
party in the event of Democratic defeat
in November. Mr.. Hughes will be asked
what particular tariff schedules he pro-
poses to change; how he would change
the foreign policy of the government as
long as the European war continues.
II mistakes have been made by the
Democratic administration. Mr.. Wilson
takes the position that it will do the
country no good to hold a post mortem
The President has stated that he does
not consider the criticisms by Mr.. Hughes
OF the Adamson eight-hour law to be
worthy of an answer
During the campaign speeches yet to
be made he will further explain the
purpose of this law and the circum-
stances under which it was enacted.

Hughes told the crowds which gathered
today to greet him that he wished his fit-
ness as President to be- judged by his
record as governor OF New York.
Addressing tonight a meeting at the
Shattuck Theater. he laid down this prin-
ciple by which he will be guided if elect
ed next November.
What I did in connection with my
duty as governor involved a principle
which / should continue to apply II I

tiles as President. That is, I examined
the proposals that were made as thor
oughly as I knew how, and what I
thought was right I favored. When I
believed the measure was wrong, did
not attempt to gain votes by indorsing
it."
Earlier In the day at Elmira he had
proclaimed himself unchanged in the
years which had elapsed since he occu-
pied the executive mansion at Albany.
Likewise, he had made fat decIara-
ton at the same meeting in favor OF an
eight-hour day for labor though at to-
nights meeting he somewhat qualified
that commitment. Tonight. answering
attacks upon his labor record, he read
the achievements of his gubernatorial ad-
ministration in the way OF labor legisla-

The defense Of his labor record made
by Hughes tonight came again in con-

'I want to see an efficient United

appearance Of class antagoniem. I want
to see genuine cooperation which will
