 General Chittenden preached the idea of ship canal, linking Lakes Union, within Seattle, and Washing ton, on the city's inland margin, with Puget Sound and thus thru the Strait of Juan de Fuca with the Pacific and other oceans of the world. Constructed with the aid of the Uni ted States government, the Lake Washington Ship Canal has been in service a decade.

 Based on expenditures for the Con- naught Tunnel of the Canadian Pa cific Railway, thru the Selkirk Range in the Canadian Rockies, completed about the time of his death, the cost of the Cascade Tunnel was put by General Chittenden at $52,000OOO
 The Cascade Tunnel, as advocated by Chittenden and Griffiths, would be 30 feet wide and, at the crown Of the arch, 2572 feet high.

CHURCHILL TO TALK DEBT.
Discussion, However, Will Be Out
side Conference Sessions.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 5 - Winston
Churchill, chancellor of the ex-
chequer, will carry on private dis
cussions on the subject of interallied
debts with the various representa-
tives at the conference of allied
finance ministers in Paris Wednesday,
it is understood.
The cabinet, which met today, is
said to have acquiesced in Mr..
ChurchilIs suggestion that the debt
problem be approached by informal
discussions instead of being brought
up at the official sessions of the con-
ference because of the desire of the
United States Government to avoid an
open discussion of the subject.
May Suggest Conference.
In the private conversations which
are expected to take place, the Brit
ish chancellor probably will present
Great Britain's views, and may even
advance a plan for a future debt con-
ference, if the outlook warrants it.
1t is understood, however, that Great
Britain is not in a position to force
the issue, and will not take the in
itiative in calling a conference.
The reply of the United States to
the last note of England on the sub
ject of reparations and war damage
claims was presented by Foreign Min
lister Chamberlain at today's cabinet
meeting 1t was said that the note
merely contained the statement of the
American policy on the subject in or
der to apprise Great Britain of the
United States attitude before the
Paris meeting opens.
Official circles refrain from express
ing an opinion on the subject, but 1t
is expected that Mr.. Churchill will
meet the American Representatives in
Paris before the opening session of
the minister's conference.

REGIMENT SURVIVORS
WIN RIGHT TO ESTATE

The Association Of Survivors of the
7th Georgia Regiment, an unincor-
porated association of Georgia, today
won its fight for a fifth share in the
estate Of Maria F. McCalla, a large
portion of which is said to consist
of real estate in Georgia. The District
Court of Appeals, in an opinion by
Justice Robb. reversed the decision
Of Chief Justice Mccoy of the Dis
trict Supreme Court, which had re-
fused to recognize the association as
being the beneficiary intended by the
testatrix.
The lower court had held that there
was nothing in the will of Miss Nc
Gala to indicate that the association
was intended in the bequest, which
reads: "One fifth to the 7th Regiment
Of Georgia" That tribunal declared
the 1st Volunteer Regiment of Georgia
appeared to be the organization in
the mind of the testatrix, and award
ed the fifth share of the estate to that
regiment. The Association Of Sur
viVors appealed, and Justice Robb to-
day decided in its favor.

K0rOk Indians
Lose Plea Filed
To Save Streams
appellate Court UphOIds
Permit For POsUer Pro-
jects in California.

Hubert Work, Secretary of the In
terror, and the late Henry G. Wallace
as Secretary of Agriculture, were up
held today by the District Court of
Appeals in their refusal as members
or the Federal Power Commission to
entertain complaint of Steve Super
and Benjamin H. Wilder, members of
the >karok tribe of Indians, against
the approving of an application by
the Electro Metals Co. for a permit
to establish power projects within
the boundaries of the klamath Ma
tional Forest, in California The In
dians claimed rights to the land in
question which, they said, existed un-
Ner the government of Mexico before
.he lands were ceded to the United
States.
The Indians were refused an in
junction against the Federal Power
Commission by the District Supreme
Court and that action is affirmed by
the higher tribunal. The Court of
Appeals points out that under act of
March 3, 1851, Congress provided that
all claims to title to the land in con-
troversy should be made within two
years from the passage of the act
or be considered abandoned. The
plaintiffs made no such claims within
the time limit and are barred, the
court decides.

MAIL TRUCKS HELD
bound BY D. c. RULE
Chauffeurs Must Stop Motors
While Collecting, Court of
Appeals Decides.

Drivers of mail-collecting auto
mobiles may not leave their motors
running while making collections.
The District Court of Appeals so held
today when it sustained the action
of the Police Court, which had con
victed and fined Arthur B. White, a
collector of the mails, who was ac-
cused of letting his motor run while
he made collections from several
boxes.
The decision of the appellate court
was rendered by Chief Justice Martin
who after setting out the acts of
Congress authorizing regulations Of
motor travel by the Commissioners
and the regulations adopted by the
city fathers, points out that the acts
of Congress contain no exception in
favor of the vehicles of the Post
Office Department and the manifest
purpose Of the acts does not imply
such exception.
1.-The public convenience and safety
in the use of the streets" says the
Chief Justice, depends upon the care
full operation Of mail trucks quite as
muc as other similar vehicles, and
il is reasonable to believe that the
regulation of all such vehicles was
intrusted to the Commissioners for
the protection of lives. limbs, health
comfort and quiet of all persons and
the protection of all property within
the District of Columbia
The regulation, the court, finds, is
not obnoxious to section 201 of theI
penal code, which makes it unlawful
knowingly and willingly to obstruct
the passage of the mails The regu-
lation is usual and reasonable, the
court holds, and may not be abroga-
ted by the Police Department, which
it was claimed had advised against
arrests where the motor was left
running only momentarily while col
lection was being made from single
box.

Aborigines' Eyes
Not Better Than
Ours, Expert Says
Merely Trained to See
Different Things, is
Germans Claim.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, January 5.-Do unciviliZed
aboriginal people have better eye
sight than do civilized people?.
DR.. A. Berger, writing in the Ber-
liner Tageblatt, says no. He claims
that the popular assumption that un-
civilized peoples see better is based
upon confusion OF practice and spe-
cial training with excellence of sight.
The superior eyesight of aborigines is
only apparent and not real. They see
certain things, which escape our
unframed eye, better, because of long
training and habit.
Every collector of geological speci-
mems, DR.. Berger insists, is like an
uncivilized man in that he can de-
tect the specimens he is looking for
much more quickly than can the ordi-
nary man. This is due solely and
purely to special training, and not to
superiority of eyesight. The same
thing applies to aboriginal folk.
The only thing in which uncivilized
tribes excel is in their ability to see
at night, in what to US seems the
dark. But this, too, is due solely to
the fact that the uncivilized man has
been trained to use his eyes at night,
while city folk have not.
