BEAUMONT, Texas, May =
Masked men, to the number of eight
or ten, tonight drove an automobile
up to the residence Of DR.. j. s. Paul,
a local physician, overpowered him
and took him 10 a remote spot in the
woods near the city, applying tar and
feathers and later bringing him 70
the center of the business section.
where he was thrust from an auto
mobile into the midst of a saturday
night shopping crowd.
Taken to the police station. the
doctor refused TO identify any Of the
group assailing him. later going TO
his home. II was understood that the
charge upon which his castigation was
predicatcd a professional one and il
was asserted that a specific instance
was cited by his captors. This could
not be confined or disproved. There
was some temporary eXcitment follw-
ing the incident. Police Officers
seeking to find clues to the guilty
parties were confronted with the
fact that apparently numbers OF
automobiles had been changed. Two
newspaper men were invited to at
tend the affair, but were so care
fully guarded that neither could give
more than a cursory account Of what
transpired Neither could identify
any Of the party abducting the ply
sician.

are infinitely greater in rail than in
water transportation"
Congressman Cleveland A. Newton
recited even more convincing argu-
ment..
THAT water transportation is
cheaper than rail is conclusively pro-
ven," he said, "by the fact that the
Interstate Commerce Commission per-
mits railroads paralleling our rivers
to make potential water rates are
far less than would be confiscatory
to railroads.
1T is further proven by the fact
that hardware can be shipped today
from St Louis to Portland, Ore, by
way of the Mississippi river and the
Panama canal for 81 cents hundred
pounds, while the railroads find it
necessary to charge $l.5O over the
most direct route from St. Louis TO
Portland. And this is demonstrated
by the further fact that the rate up
on hardware from St. Louis to Reno,
New, is greater than the rate upon
hardware from St. Louis TO the
Hawiian island.
1T has been demonstrated that
to carry given amount by rail con
sumes practically twice the amount OF
fuel necessary TO carry the same
freight by water"
Mai. Gen. II. Beach, chief Of the
engineers of the United States Army.
told Of factory which makes loco
motives at Lima, o.. some Of which
L has been shipping TO the Pacific
Coast.
1T cost the company $1,000 more, "
Gen. Beach said. ''to deliver an engine
by all-rail route irf San Francisco
and Seattle than il does TO ship II to
Baltimore and then by water, through
the Panama canal. TO the same cities.
In fact. the company found It could
ship an engine by rail 10 Baltimore
and then bill it by rail to San Francis
60 or Seattle for $500 less than II cost
TO bill it direct from Lima.
There il q piano factory in Gin
cinnati which has been shipping pi-
amos 10 Los Angeles by all-rail route

Gently this company found It could
send the pianos by the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi rivers and Panama canal TO
Los Angeles for $2.35 a hundred
pounds and make deliveries in 10
days"
Mr.. Jessup said that Gen. Beach
manifested great interest in the Point
Isabel project and assured him the
government is ready to begin work
deepening the harbor there as soon as
the requirements in the matter OF
standardizing the Rio Grande rail
way have been satisfactorily settled.
The general told him. he said, that
the government was anxious TO spend
the money on the Point Isabel pro-
iect appropriated for ii by Congress.

as highly gratified with the develop
ment of gulf ports, (which have been
striving SO valiently and successfully
for the development of their facilities,
and we look with eagerness TO the de-
velopment of intercoastl water COM
munications."
Many Of the speakers, Mr.. Jessup
said, recited the most illuminating of
facts bearing directly upon the prob
lens confronting the Lower Rio Gran.
de Valley. While some Of these mat
ters had been touched upon from time
to time in the various deep water ar
guments in this section, he had never
heard so much startling information
direct TO the point as at this conven-
tion.
although they were talking about
the question of water transportation
as a WHOLE" he said, lone might al
most have thought they were address
sing themselves to our own peculiar
problems"
Governor John NJ. Parker Of Louis
show how far the United States il
tagging behind other nations in the
development Of its waterways, he said
During the great war when
France was fighting desperately for
her existence" he quoted Governor
Parker as saying. ''she almost doubled
her waterways expenditures and fl
nanced, among other works. the great
Rhine canal With one third OF our
population and one eighteenth of our
area. France expended for water
transportation in the last 50 years
$40, 900. 900 more on waterways than
the United States has expended in
l 90 wears.
Belgium, fifteen times smaller
than the United States in population
and 260 times smaller in area has
more than matched Us in waterways
expenditures The old world has look
Cd TO its waterways and its railroads.
We have looked on only to our rail
roads and there lies the fatal diff
ference"
The Louisiana executive went on
TO show that. in 1913. freight rates
on ore on the Rhine were IL mills
per ton mile. while the cheapest rail
rate in the United States, that on the
down grade Of the Lehigh Valley
railroad from Wilkes Barre to the
seaboard was 3 mills a ton mile.
There are three un;mpeachable
reasons for cheap water transporta-
tion over rail transportatino. Gov.
Parker continued. First. it takes
seven times the power 10 move freight
over rails than over water Second.
it costs three times the first invest
ment as much to create rail capacity
as compared with floating capacity.
Third, the cost of water transporta-
tion per ton mile is three-fourths less
than that of lail transportation. In
other words, both the original invest
ment and the subsequent expenditure
