didn't buy roast beef in the market;
he liked chicken on Broadway"
Il don't see anything original in
that" Judge Blodgett remarked.
There was no indication today as
to when the suit would be concluded,
but every effort was to be made to
end 1t speedily since Judge Blod-

been jealous of her husband and had
to hold him from other women"
She did not mean misconduct, but
Budlong used to do annoying things
such as paying too much attention
to other women and thinking it
amusing" At no time did Mrs. Bud
long refer to her husbands allega-
tons that she was a social climber
and vainly attacked the ramparts of
Newport society. She did deny that
she had prosecuted Budding for
money and expensive gifts.
Flat denial was made Of testimony
OF Budlongs friends that she had
discussed money affairs with her in
their presence.
She joked with her husband. the
witness said, when a large sum was
due him from business associate,
and remarked that when we get our
money I'll get my pearls"

DR.. o. H. Brann was unanimously
reelected to the Office Of chairman of
the Augusta board of education at a
meeting of that body held at City hall
Friday afternoon. Routine business
was transacted and the designations of
several teachers in the local grade
schools were considered.
The board also considered questions
relative to the construction of a new
wing on the Cony High school build
ing. Preliminary bids for the con-
struction of the addition to the pres
ent overcrowded structure have been
received. Fourteen of these bids We're
submitted and 1t is understood that
of this number three were within the
original estimate of the architects,
Bunker & Savage, who drew up the
original plans for the new wing.
No decision was reached at this
meeting regarding the acceptance of
the bids and another meeting will be
held Monday night, at which time it
is understood the contract will be
awarded.

A Menace to Great Lake Shipping

Chicago's withdrawal OF water
from Lake Michigan through the
city's drainage canal means serious
interference with shipping on the
Great Lakes and with power de-
velopments, writes a Canadian ex-
pert on boundary waterways PROB
lens, in the July issue of Foreign
Affairs New York;. He says:
Navigation is seriously hamper
ed. The withdrawal of nearly TO-
600 cubic feet per second from the
Great Lakes lowers Huron, Erie,
Ontario, and the upper st. Lawrence
from 5 to inches. and the harbor at
Montreal to 10 inches. Lake YES
sells are built and loaded to take ad-
vantage of every inch of depth; in
every inter-lake channel, every shall
low river stretch, in every harbor,
the reduction of levels brings dif-
ficulty, danger, and loss. A loss OF
one inch in water levels reduces the
carrying capacity of the typical lake
freighter by from 70 to 100 tons; the
whole lake fleet suffers a loss
amounting to one complete trip each
year.
ITO the laynan the term 10000
cubic feet per second does not con-
yey much meaning, 1t may be
visualized by comparison with the
American Falls at Niagara. Every
one has in mind a picture of that
wonderful cataract sweeping in tre-
mendous volume and irresistible force
over the crest in an unbroken line
thousand feet from bank to bank.
Yet thhe total water pouring over
the American Falls is only 5000
cubic feet per second.
Less pressing hitherto, but now
Of increasing urgency, is the loss in
power development. The water
which is now pouring down the
drainage canal could be made to de-
velop over 100000 horsepower at
Niagara and about 100000 horse
power on the st. Lawrence, as
against a maximum of 112,200 horse
power from the development OF the
proposed Desplaines- Illinois water
way. The use of lake water to de-
velop one horsepower south Of Chi
caso. when it could develop four and
onehalf horsepower at Niagara and
the st. Lawrence, could not be de-
Tended on economic grounds.

the United States lake regions in

Sol were clad only in undercloth-
ing, indicating to observers that
those so dressed were off duty when
death bore down on them.
The men who climbed in and out
Of the submarine today reported
that the hulk was filed with sad
reminders of the men who had been
hurled so suddenly to death.
Carrying kit bags, sailors crawled
through the various compartments
and gathered up personal effects of
the dead sailors. A picture believed
to be that of the radio mans mother,
blurred by sea water, was found
near his instruments and other arti-
cles testified to the many ties which
bound the men to the life from
which they were so suddenly torn.
Secretary of the Navy Wilbur in
spected the submarine during the
afternoon. He said that the SOL
sailors would not be given a naval
funeral, their relatives having made
known their plans for private burial.
One of the bodies recovered was
that of a sailor who investigators
believed had fought for life to the
last second. The body was wedged
in some pipes at the top of a COM
partment and belief was expressed
that as the water rose the sailor had
climbed higher and higher only to
be drowned at last when he could
climb no more.
AS to the manner of the death of
the sailors as a whole neither Rear
Admiral Plunkett nor Secretary
Wilbur would express an opinion
beyond remarking that the time
must have been very short and that

the men almost instantaneously,
catching them wherever they hap
pened to be.
In striking contrast to the I'M
slightly hulk of the S-51 as it lay
today in its dock, barnacled and dis
figured, was the trim sister ship, the
$50, moored beyond the end of the
dry dock. Observers found it hard
to believe that the twisted wreck
could ever have been counterpart
of the sleek undersea craft riding at
anchor.
The naval board of inquiry re-
opened today and spent the day in
an effort to place the blame for the
grounding of the Sol in East River
as it was being towed to the navy
yard from the place where it was
sunk last September with loss of
SO lives. This question will occupy
the board again tomorrow and after
that the main question of blame
for the sinking off Block Island will
be taken up.

President losses
Bouquet in Matter
Congress Work Done

Paul Smiths, n. Y, July 9-P)-
Within the recollection of President
Coolidge there has never been a time
when there was greater harmony be-
tween the executive and legislative
branches than in the period since he
came to the office of chief magistrate.
Moreover, in the opinion of Mr..
Coolidge it would be difficult for the
Senate and the House to be conduct
ed better than at the recent session
of Congress from the standpoint OF
constructive legislation produced and
less time spent in needless debate.
The views of the chief executive
were set forth today at a conference
of newspaper correspondents with his
official spokesman. the first such
conference to be held since he es-
tahlished the summer White House
in the Adirondacks.
Praise for the Congress was ming
led with appreciation for the services
of the administration leaders in both
the House and Senate during dis
cussion which included a reiteration
of views along similar lines uttered
in behalf of the President early this
week in Washington before he left
the Capitol for the summer.
With the explanation that it was
not desired to take all the glorv for
the President in referring to the rec
ord of Congress, it was said that the
Senate and House had functioned as
legislative bodies without being con-
stantly forced into some position by
the Chief Executive.
Congress in its own independence.
it was added, had supported most of
the major recommendations of Mr..
Coolidge, leaving few of outstand-
ing importance vet to be acted upon,
although. it was understood, there
are some recommendation TO come
in future sessions from the Presi-
dent.
The Republican leader in the Sem
ate, Senator Curtis Of Kansas, was
given great credit by the spokesman
for his direction of difficult situa-
tons. His advice and assistance was
said to have been of first '~-~ortance
to Mr.. Coolidge while he was praised
for his ability as parliamentarian
II was recalled in this connection
that when Mr.. Coolidge was vice
president and presided over the Sen
ate he depended much upon the Kan
sas senator for advice on intricate
of parliamentar ylaw.
Speaker Longworth and Represen-
tative Tilson of Connecticut, the Re-
publican floor leader of the House,
were mentioned also as giving in
valuable support to the president
during the session of Congress Just
closed.

The sweet pea is a native Of the

toned in 1895 by an Italian monk,
who sent seeds to England and Hol-
