GEN. HINES LEAVES
 ]. FOR INSPECTION OF ALABAMA RIVERS
Much Depends on Report He Will Formulate Regard ing Streams of
 Alabama
By HuGH-w. ROBERTS

Washington. April 1O.-tspeeial)- Gen Frank T. Hines. in charge of the transportation division of the army, left tonight for an inspection of waterways as result of which the future of in land developments will be vitally af- feeted.
 His Alabama itinerary will put him in Mobile at noon April 14 On the
 morning of the 18th he leaves for
 Montgomery, and that Afternoon goes
 by boat to Selma. The morning of the
 18th he goes to Akron, thence by auto ito Tuscaloosa. He leaves Tuscaloosa
 the same afternoon on the steamship
 Nugsnt and will ride the Warrior river to Cordova. He reaches Birmingham at o'clock, April IT, and will remain
 there until noon the following day, go-
 ing direct to St. Louis to attend the
 launching of the self-propelled barges
 Birmingham and Tuscaloosa.
 As result of his inspection of the
 Alabama river. he will determine the
 merits of the claim of the people of
 Montgomery and Selma that on that
 river abrge line to be operated in
 connection with the Warrior river barge line should be established. As a re-
 suit of his inspection of the Warrior. it is believed. he will reach conclusion
 that the construction by the loan of government money of adequate termi-
 nal facilities at Mobile is necessary. It is thought most probable that he will conclude that the Warrior should be operated exclsuive of the Missis- sippi river operation. That such should be done has always been the -conten- ton of Alabama interests. To Repre- sentatives Oliver and McDuffie General Hines today reiterated his expressions of great interest in the Warrior and ! the members believe he will do all that he can in furthering the project MOBILE PLANS RECEPTION Mobile, April 1O.-( Special )-With departure from Washington toady of Gen Frank T.

ter how much these agitators persist, and unless the United States wants 10 be the avowed enemy of England, a nation with whom we were few months ago, proud to be allied in war, we should stamp out this Sim Fein agitation before it grows into a whril- wind which will wreck the friendship of two powerful peoples, and to which end these agitators are working
 If tn truth were only known, 1t is owing to the efforts of these profess sionaI Irishmen that we owe the non ratification of the peace treaty, which is self-evident that the Senate went out of it's way to pass resolution to aid the Sim Fein cause before throwing out the treaty. These Irishmen prate Of their patriotism, but 1t is plain to see that it is of commercial variety.
 The world needs peace, and as we have been busy stamping out l. w. w. ism, bo1shevism and several other "isms." it seems that it is about time to stamp out Sum Fein-ism and it is up to the intelligent and patriotic Americans to enthusiastically show their disapproyal of this Irish agitation.
