MISSOURI PRISON
FIRE INCENDIARY

Jefferson City Mo-. Sept Il or.
victs are suspected of having started
the fire today within the s;ockade of
the Missouri stac penitentiary here,
causing loss estimated at $l6O,0Oo.
1t was the third mysterious fire IN
prison shops within the last two
months. The fire today was confined
to the three-story building in the
stockade occupied by clothing COM
pany.
Penitentiary authorities declared
thew were convinced the fire, like the
other two, had been set by convicts,
and efforts were being made to ascer-
tain the identity of those who started
the blaze. No convicts are in the
shops at night, and officials cannot
understand how the blaze could nave
been set, although apparently certain
the cause was of incendiary origin.
One of the other two fires occurred
late at night and il was said To-Day
that an attempt had been made last
week to burn the building DESTROYED
this morning. 1t was said that last
nights fire was planned in advance
and started in such a way IN the
third-story stock room of the build
ing that it might not become visible
for hours after the last convict hao
lef THE stockade. Altho four watch-
men were in thhe building, the Dlaze
was discovered by wall guard sons
distance away.

Speakers at Waterway Con-
vention Denounce Attacks
on r. and Fl. Bill.

Philadelphia, Sept. 12.-Prominent
speakers at the opening session of
the annual convention of the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways association here
today urged the advancement OF the
plan for continuous inland water
way from New England to Flarido,
and denounced those who attacked
the rivers and harbors appropriation
by congress as pork"
Senator Fletcher of Florida said
that no appropriations are SO neces-
sary as those for rivers and harbors
He declared that the proper develop
lnent of the inland waterways was
as necessary to the defense of the
country as gunpOwder.
Senator MARITIME of New Jersey said
that men failed in "broad-minded pat
riotism when they do not favor the
inland waterway project to promote
commercial interests of the country
and also aid in better national de-
fense."
Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 12.-The
ninth annual convention of the At
lantic Deeper Waterways association,
which met in this city today, prom
Uses to be large, influential and
highly interesting gathering. For
nearly a decade the association has
been working for the betterment Of
waterways throughout the entire
country, but mainly those in the
eastern part Of the United States. The
chief aim is to promote an inland
waterway stretching along the Allan
tic coast from Maine to Florida, by
linking together into one system the
navigable channels and canals already
in existence. The advantages of such
a system to the country, it is claimed,
would be cheaper freight rates, less
loss of life from marine disasters, and
benefit to the navy in case of war.
The present convention will con-
tinue in session four days and will be
addressed by q number OF prominent
speakers. Congressman ]. Hampton
Moore is the president of the associa-
ton and the presiding officer of the
convention. Arrangements have been
made for the delegates to inspect the
Delaware and Raritan canal at Tren-
ton and the Chesapeake and Delaware
canal locks at Delaware city. visits
also will be paid to the League Island
navy yard and to Camden, one OF the
greatest centers of the shlp-bulldlns
industry in America.

The Bad District Roads.

The business men who made an auto
trip the other day into lower Maryland
for the purpose Of booming local trade
interests are reported to have been con-
WINGED by their experience Of the urgent
need Of immediate improvements in the
District roads lying between the paved
section Of the city and the Maryland
line. They viii vigorously press for
their improvement. It is impossible for
any one to pass from Washington into
Maryland, save by one or two routes,
without being impressed by the poor
quality Of the capitals suburban roads,
especially in contrast with the excel
lent highways provided by the state Of
Maryland In this respect, as The Star
painted out tho other day, the District,
- regards its suburban area, Is as badly
equipped a. most Of the small Maryland
towns along tho line Of tho state high
wsys. Il Is certainly anomalous that
TIE best paved city in the country and
sns Of the best state highway systems
aheuld be so poorly linked together.
Tho activity Of the District merchants
In behalf Of better suburban roads will
b valuable in bringing about reform in
tbs particular, in which the District Is
% lamentabfy In arrears.

houses of Congress, is so powerful crita-
cism has been awakened. It has been
heard in the present campaign. It was
voiced in Maine, and has since been
voiced in New York.
The President PRO tempore Of the Sem
ate controls no patronage. His Office
gives him no opportunities to impress
himself on legislation. He does not
often occupy the chair. He is simply the
presiding officer designate when the Vice
President is out of town.
Still the office carries an honor which
any senator would appreciate. Some
senators of very great influence have
filed it.
1t so happens that both the north and
the south have men now under discus
sion in connection with this place. Mr..
O'Gorman of New York, Mr. johnson Of
Maine and Mr.. Pomerene Of Ohio are
northern men. The first named will re-
tire of his own accord in March,. the
second named has been defeated for re-
election, while the last named is now
canvassing for a second term. Mr..
Pomerene was mentioned for the Office
when Mr.. Clarke was chosen.
The southern men are numerous, as
the south is the seat of democratic
power Mr.. Salisbury of Delaware, Mr..
Martin of Virginia, Mr.. Overman of
North Carolina, Mr.. Beckham Of Ken
lucky, Mr. Underwood of Alabama and
Mr.. Smith of Georgia are mentioned. Mr..
Culberson of Texas would be, too, ex-
cept that his health will not admit Of
his taking on any additional duties.
The matter will come up when the
Senate meets in December; and very
likely next months election returns will
have bearing on the decision. It may
be that, even if the Senate remains
democratic, the new man will serve only
until March, giving way at that time for
one chosen more with regard to the full
meaning of the general verdict so re-
Gently rendered in national affairs.

A Chinese "Lottery" SWindle.

The eagerness Of some people to risk
money on gamble is illustrated by the
success reported Of Chinaman in New
York who has been working clever swim
die on clerks in stores He is we'll dressed
and speaks perfect English and has the
soft, persuasive manner Of the celestial.
He drops into the store and asks for q
clerk whom he knows is absent. On be-
ing told this fact he expresses regret
and explains that he is sorry because
he has come to pay the missing one a
$50 prize that he has just drawn in a
lottery. This naturally arouses the in
terest of the clerk with whom he is
speaking, and in few minutes, in most
cases, the soft-spoken Chinaman has sold
one or more lottery tickets. Of course,
the lottery never yields any prizes. In
fact, it does not exist. 1t is stated that
several thousand dollars have been OBJ
tanned by this method in New York in
a few weeks. The victims, some Of whom
are induced to buy the tickets on an
assurance that for a slight bonus the
Chinaman can guarantee a prize, are
loath4o complain to the police when they
find they have been swindled because the
law Furnishes the ticket buyer as we'll
as the ticket seller in a game Of this
kind. 1t has been only by chance that
the swindle has come to light, and now
all New York is watching for the smooth
tongued Chinaman with his innocent
inquiries for absent persons.
