THE COLUMBIA CANAL

To the Editor of The News and
Courier: The, question is asked
What is the Legislature going to
do with the Columbia canaR the
courts having decided it reverts to
the State.
This is the best news for South
Carolina since the "armistice."
All economical reconstruction
questions caused by the war focus
and lead up to the cost Of fuel.
Coal, oil and wood to furnish power
and heat for manufacturers, trans-
portation for railroads, sea and
river. Coal and oil are, the stand
ard measure-the' foot rule to gauge
value on the seven seas. In South
Carolina coal is worth ten to fifteen
lars per cord, gasoline twenty-three
to thirty cents, kerosene eighteen
to twenty-five cents per gallon.
Therefore, all freight. is 76 to 1876
per cent high all over the United
States, with coal and oil famine
predicted by all experts. Anyhow.
no cheap fuel is in sight for ten
years.
What right has the Legislature
Of this State, the custodians of the
public domain, to allow five million
dollars worth of electric current
to run idly to waste opposite its
Capital?
The fall of the waters in Saluda
and Broad rivers as they run
through this granite through and
form the Congaree, coal being at
$40 per ton, and new dam and
canal and power house, with a new
improved lock for navigation being
erected, can easily give a value to
central South Carolina of five mil.
lions Of dollars per annum.
Further more, the navigation of
these streams has been impaired
and shut up for twenty-five years
This recent decision of the courts
frees them.
All the granite rock is above the
foot of the shoals. 1t is the great
est in quantity and quality, nearest
and only rock on all-water route
to the sea from the Potomac to the
Gulf. The world is calling for this
rocE in unlimited quantities to
build roads, dams, piers, bridges
and concrete structures. It is not
doing us any good where it is now
What is its value? Ask your me-

men who set out in search for them
shortly after their disappearance, is
proceeding to meet them with clothes.
They believe that Evans will Join the
party at Toronto.
Lieutenant Farrell smoked constant
ly during the interview, occasionally
throwing in few words. On one
occasion he remarked:
why, boys. Hinton and have been
the closest Of friends, not for hours
or days or weeks, but for months. He
is squadron commander and I am gun
merry officer, and we always cooperated
in every possible way. and we still
continue to do So"

never misses mass and that sort Of

saintliest of little creatures, and !

loonists will arrive in Toronto at 8

pected in New York early tomorrow

Arrangements have been made for
them TO leave for Rockaway on the 9
o'clock train from the Flatbush Ave
nue., station Of the Long Island Rail
road in Brooklyn. They will detrain
Hammels. and will there find the
entire Rockaway peninsula decorated
IN gala attire.
The quarrel among The three officers
at Mattlce has not in any way inter
fered with the active preparations to
welcome them back to Rockaway, The
moment they step from the train they
will be greeted by blast from the
combined instruments of three bands.

sion through Rockaway Park to the

engagements, yesterday sent the fol-
lowing telegram to the Canadians WHO
cared for the three officers:
the Board of Tarde of RockAway
wishes to express its appreciation for
the Kindness you have shown to our
beloved townsmen."
Mrs. Walter Hinton yesterday ac-
cepted full blame for the publication
OF the letter written to her by her
husband. This is the letter that caused
the bad feeling between Lieutenants
Farrell and Hinton and led to tho fistic
encounter between them.
II thought l was doing the nron.r
thing, because the public generally and
the newspapers had evinced such in
terest IN the adventure of my husband
and his two companions" she said.
Mrs. Farrell during the day expressed
the opinion that her husband was only
defending his character when he struck
Lieutenant Hinton.
right in defending his character" she
said. every one who is acquainted
with him knows he is very ne man,
with high ideals and most conscien-
tious. He trusts every one and expects
the other fellow to trust him and play
on the level

gram from my husband, but that is all.

it was marked not to be published. In
my opinion the letters that Lieutenants
Hinton and kloor wrote to their rela-
tives aud friends should not have been
published.
Nov you can see what it has caused.
Had | received letter | would not
have made it public until was per-
mitted to do so by my husband, and
all the money in the world could not
buy it. 1t is a question of principle
and loyalty to my husband"
Lieutenant A. L. Kloor, who was in
command of the balloon, telephoned
from Mattice yesterday to Commando r
Cummings over the long distance
wires to Rockaway. Commander Cum
lnings said there was nothing in Lieu
tenant Kloor's conversation that had
not already been covered in previous
dispatches.
New-York tribune., 1921-01-13
authority for Endurance
Balloon Flight in Doubt

The balloon fligh, which precipitated
the three naval lieutenants-Kloor,
Hinton and Farrell--into the center of
thrilling adventure that focused the
eyes of the world upon sthe northern
Canadian wilderness was virtually un-
authorized, according to report that
has persisted for the last few days.
Repeated efforts to obtain a specific
statement from Commander Damon f.
Cummings, officer in charge of the
naval air station at Rockaway, regarding
failed. Last night, however, he ex-
planned that orders for the flight had
been signed five days before the start.
He also said that the fight was not
intended as an endurance test, but
merely part of the routine training
duty Of the station.
In view of this there is no doubt
the court of inquiry that Secretary
Daniels has ordered will be compelled
to inquire into the reason why the
three officers did not end their trip
at Wells, N. Y. According to the story
told by Lieutenant Farrell upon arrival
at Mattice; the balloon was anchored
to tree at Wells, while the aeronauts
inquired as to their location from the
state forest ranger who reported their
passing over that town.
Commander Cummings last night in
dicated that the feeling Of the officers
at Rockaway was against "raking up
the dead bones of the officers quarrel
unless the officers themselves feel dis
posed to air their grievances in
public"
Commander Cummings said in re-
sponsc to questions that the three Of
ficers would not be suspended, because
there had been no charges brought
against them. He said he knew moth
ing of the fist fight between Lieu
tenants Farrell and Hinton, other than
What he had read in the newspapers
The court of inquiry, if left to him,
will probably be convened after the
three balloonists have rested up and
made their official reports of the amaz-
ing fight.
Some doubt exists as to the railroad
over which the three airmen will
travel from Toronto to New York. Re-
ports from Toronto said they would
travel over the Lehigh Valley Railroad,
while in this city the New York Cen
trail Railroad o3icials announced that
they had been authorized by Secretary
Daniels to send special car to Toronto
for the use of the officers.
This is a three-room private car
which left Grand Central depot on the
o'clock train last night. In addition
to the sleeping compartments. the car
has an observation sitting room, dining

perfectly aware that he was being
shadowed, he said.
Those Reporters!
According to Coulaud, De Valera
did not wear q disguise. He read
a magazine all the way to Tours,
refusing to talk to the journalist.
At Touss, tie Valera finally agreed
to receive the journalist, greeting
him with: II thought you Were
another detective"
Coulaud said De Valera made
him promise not to publish the in
terview for three days, as he in
tended to leave France. II do not
intend to go to Ireland but shall
fly to Glasgow" Couloud declared
De Valera told him.
French police officials refused
any information as to whether De
Valera had left France. When it
was reported De Valera was on the
way to France, the French foreign
office issued a statement saying
that De Valera would be permitted
to land and would not be molested
until he should attempt to make
ti-British propaganda. in which
case he would be expelled.

A. Il. Gere, special agent for the
department of justice here, exam
ined the man and woman yester-
day, and Gunther, while admitting
the robbery, denied that he fired at
Patrolman Salazar during the
chase that preceded his capture.
Powder marks and perforations in
the mica of the side curtains of
the stolen car were declared by
police TO contradict his statement.
Possibility that the woman had
fired from the car We're seen by
police in the fact that the alleged
bullet holes in the curtains were
on the right side of the car, while,
according to Salazar, Gunther was
driving during the chase and was
on the left side. When arrested,
however, Gunther had the revolver
with two exploded cartridges in the
cylinder.
Police returned the recovered
car to Hilgartner, and his watch,
and Gunther returned to him S12
of the $50 that he is alleged to
have taken from him at the time
of the hold-up. The FL Paso taxi
cab man will testify at the hearing
this morning for Mrs. Gregory.

In a conversation with the cor
respondent, De Valera is quoted as
saying:
~ left America because at n
time when the English seek by an
implacable policy to terrorism TO
frighten our people and weaken
their moral force, it is the manifest
duty of the chief of the Irish ma
tion's representatives to be among

said today he thought the inter-

Marcel Couland, the journalist
under whose signature the inter
view appeared, said that he kept
close watch on the Irish "lega-
tion" for four days, and finally
saw a man answering the descrip-
tion De Valera.
Coulaud declared he followed the
man who went to the orleans rail-

The governors budget covering
the requests made by institutions
and departments went to the legis-
lature today. 1t is a document of
"A typewriter pages. The appro-
priations for the eighth and ninth
fiscal years are set beside those for
the tenth and eleventh. There are,
however, no recommendations as
to the amounts which the governor
feels should finally be granted. The
Legislature is given "A clean slate
and allowed to start its figuriQg
early.
Building Boom Seen.
The first thing to attract the at
tention in the budget is the hint
that New Mexico is on the verge of
building boom. For the tenth
fiscal year, a total of $1,223,G00 is
asked for buildings. For the
eleventh fiscal year. a total of
$205,700 is asked for buildings. The
building appropriation asked for
the tenth year are more than the
entire appropriations granted by
the fourth state legislature for the
ninth fiscal year.
Once the building program is
eliminated in order that requests
may be compared with former
grants. If there We're only two
slight building appropriations made
| two years ago. the budget takes on
more normal appearance. The
total appropriations except for the
buildings, amount to $1,663,241.41
for the tenth and sl,656,541.41 for
the eleventh year. These are not
greatly out of line with the ST.
241.400.90 granted by the fourth
legislature for the eighth and ST.
! Sos,eOl,75 granted for the alpts
