POWER PROSPECTS
ON ST. LAWRENCE
INTEREST VISITORS
Experts Say Electrical
Plant Would Pay Cost
,.- OF Canal.
By ARTHUR VI. EVANS.

oGDENSBURG. y. Y. July l3.-As
the Cape Eternity steamed down the
Thousand Islands this morning. the
deep seaway expedition began TO
visualize the power aspects as well
as the Transportation phase of the
project. Forty miles below ogdens-
burg the delegates will view the
site of. the dam with whicH the en-
gineers propose to drown out the
upper rapids of the ct. Lawrence
and give clear sailing from the Long
Sault Rapids to Lake Ontario. The
three Williamsburg canals now take
boats around the white Water and
develop l.464.ooo horsepower. This
is about 40 per cent of the potential
water power in the st. Lawrence
River. and this in itself as power
proposition. according to the engi-
neers. makes the enterprise eco
nomically worth while regardless Of
the benefits to navigation and the
carrying Of goods.
Figure on Electrical Power.
The estimated cost of the ocean
going waterway to throw open lake
ports to saltwater ships is placed
at s252,72s,ooo. Figuring interest,
upkeep and amortization in, say.
fifty years, some of the experts ig-
ure that electrical power could be
delivered at the power plant at q
rate Of some 25 or 80 per cent lower
than even at Niagara Falls at pres
ent and still pay itself off easily in
that time. II amortization were
spread over a shorter period, twenty
or thirty, years, say, some Of the
talent figures the power could still
be sold cheaper, or at least as
cheap, as at Niagara and still pay
or the cost of transmission lines.
On the Cape Eternity the expe-
dition roughly speaking falls into
two groups-the New England
crowd and the westerners. The New
Englanders are most interested in
the power phase. The westerners,
OF course. stress the transportation
end. The. Canadians are strong on
both power and navigation aspects,
and back Of 1t all is the great idea
of industrial and business expan-
sion. 81.
New EnEianders Warm Up.
Expansion in this part of New
York State and in Ontario and Que
bee would come through a large
supply Of cheap electrical energy,
expansion all over the country
through improved Transportation,
cheapenS rates, easier access to
markets. sfester movement of prod
ucts, particularly In rush seasons
when the traffic demands now choke
the railroads. When the expedition
started New England did not seem
TO be particularly keen on the prof.

SINKING SHIPS
Secretary Daniels Invites Army
AviatOrs to Join i'm Bomb

TO USE GERMAN SHIPS
Osfriesland Will Be Fitted With
Radio Control for Vital
Experiment.
(Ey Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Participa-
ton by the war department in a Sc
ries of experiments to determine the
value OF aircraft against major ves-
sells was invited by Secreary Daniels
today in a letter to Secretary Baker.
The first of the tests will be conduct
ed within the next 80 days, Mr.. Dan
iels said, and conditions approximate
ing as closely as possible those of bat
tie will be simulated The captured
German battleship Osfriesland of &c.
500 tons probably will be used for the
first experiment.
Admiral r. e. Coontz, cIifDf of naval
operations, prior to the making public
of Secretary Daniels letter, had told
the house naval committee that with
in the next three months the navy de-
partment would bomb a large warship
from the air in the open sea in an
effort to test the theory advanced by
Brigadier General Mitchell of the
army air service that airplanes had
made capital naval vessels useless.
Representative Mondell of Wyoming.
republican floor leader, who preceded
Admiral Coontz on the stand, warned
the committee that unless, expendi-
lures for military purposes We're cut
down some of the larger nations of the
world would be driven into bank
ruptcy. The United States should take
the lead in disarmament declared Mr..
Mondell, adding:
IF an agreement is not reached for
the limitation of armament and war
like expenditures in the near future.
the fault will be that of America, as
in former days the fault was that of
Germany"
Secretary Daniels, in making public
his letter to Secreary Baker, pointed
out that by allied agreement the Unit
ed States was obligated to destroy the
Osfriesland and other former German
naval vessels given this country as
soon as experiments now under way
were concluded. He could think of no
more fitting of useful method of de-
stroying them, he said, than by using
ing experiments. He intimated that
the old battleship Iowa, already fitted
with radio control apparatus, would be
used for a similar purpose later. The
Osfriesland was one of the more mod
ern battleships of the former kaisers
navy, mounting 12-inch guns. The
vessel is fitted with a thorough sys-
tenn of bulkheads and watertight COM
partments and should, in the opinion
of naval officers, provide very good
demonstration of what damage might
be expected from aerial bombs explod-
ing on a modern major ship of war.

KANSAS MINERS
ARE ARRESTED
Alexander Howat and Assist
ants Are Held for Con-
tempt of Court.
ALL ADMIT THEIR GUILT
Case is Considered a Test of
Strength of Kansas In
dustrial Court.
(By Associated Press)

PITTSBURG, Kansas, Feb. dis
trict Judge A. J. Curran late today
issued achievement for the immediate
arrest of Alexander Howat, president
of the Kansas coal miners and for al
members on the district executive
board of the union.
The order for the arrest of the
union officials was made on applica-
ton of Richard j. Hopkins, state at
.torney general.
Howat was arrested about 4: 30 p. m
and Immediately brought into the dis
trict court room.
When the Kansas miners president
was arraigned before Judge Curran
he admitted he had called the strike
in the two mines of the Pittsburs
field.
Whether it is a violation of the
court order is for the court to say
Howat added.
Vice President Dorchy brought into
court with Howat simply said:
Il am guilty"
Willard Titus, a board member, als1
was hailed before the judge.
When Thomas Harvey, secretary and
treasurer of the district miners union
was brought before Judge Currarl. he
testified that he did not vote for the
order calling the strike, and that he
opposed it in the discussion at the
meeting. On motion of the state. the
court dismissed the action against
Harvey.
Howat Dorchy and Titus were then
released on their own recognizance
and ordered to appear in court to-
morrow afternoon. Howat informed
the court that Amos Standering OF
Rich Hill, Missouri, and John Billings
of Usage county, Kansas, board mem
bers, were not at the meeting of the
board, and the court dismissed at
tachments for them
Judge Curran set 1880 o'clock tomor-
row afternoon as the hour for the
three to file a written answer, if they
desired. The court action is the out
growth of strike in two mines of the
Pittsburg field, which resulted from
controversy of the miners union
with the mine owners over the age of
a miner.
The attorney general contended that
the strike was in violation of the in
junction issued last summer oy Judge
Curran and that therefore the miners

PRESIDENT WILSON WILL GO into
VIRTUAL SECLUSION IMMEDIATELY y
UPON LEAVING THE WHITE HOUSE
Chief Executive Plans to De-
vote Several Months to Rest
and Recreation.
WRITING WILL w A Z
President Will Delay His New
Book Until Fall But Will
Remain i'm Capital.
(By Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, Feb. president
Wilson plans to go into virtual seclu-
sion for a time after March a.
Free from the responsibilities of
office, which have weighed heavily
upon him during his convalescence
Mr. Wilson, his friends say, will shut
himself in for a period of intensive
rest and quiet In the new home he has
purchased here. He will deny HIM
self to all callers except immediate
members of his family, it is said, and
very few intimate friends with
whom, throughout his illness, he has
kept in contact.
No formal engagements of any
character are expected y be made by
the president until he shall, have thor
oughly adjusted himself to private life
after some 10 years in public service.
Even the writing, which he has
planned to do upon his retirement
from the white house, will be post
poned for several months. his friends
say
Mr.. Wilson is understood to have
declined a number of invitations to
spend part of the summer out OF
w WdSHluBLOU, out because OF MS de-
light with the pleasant weather here
last summer, the first which he had
spent in this city, it is regarded as
unlikely that he will accept any of
these invitations.
For possibly six months, friends of
the president believe, his life will be
wholly taken up with recreation. His
chief diversion since his illness has
been reading. He is said to have
practically exhausted the field of de-
tective stories, of which he has al
ways been especially fond, and more
recently has taken up novels and light
stories. He also has given some time
to reading poetry.
Since his resumption last week of
his old custom of attending the thea
tire, the president is expected to con-
tinue as his health improves to find
occasion more and more to avail him
self of this form of recreation. He
also is expected to continue his daily
automobile rides.
