ON WATERWAYS
Washington, fc. C.. June 1 ? Rep
resentative Martin B- Madden, of Il
linois. a member of the Rivers and
Harbors Committee of the House is
an enthusiastic believer In the future
of the waterways of the United
States. In order that h*? might as
sist In the work of developing ?h; In
ternal waterway j of ih? country and
to bring to the subject intelligent un
derstanding. Mr. Msdden withdrew
from the Committee on Appropria
tions of which he was a member dur
ing the Sixtieth Congress, to take a
poettlon on the Rivers and Harbore
Committee. In speaking of the gen ??
erally meritorious character of thS
River and Harbor appropriation Mil
now in conference Mr. Madden tfatd:
"I think the country Is to be con
gratulated upon the systematic plsn
outlined for Interior waterway devel
opment In the presnt rivers ana har
bor* bill. ? - .*
"For the first time In' the country'* 1
history the risers and toarbors com
mittee has gone into the question )f
river Improvement on an extensive
scale. This work, followed to Its log- 1
leal conclusion, will In the not far dis
tant future lead to results so benefic
ial that thfey csnnot be lmsglnnd at
this time.
"The necessity for river Improve
ment now that the grest lake hirborf
have already been provided for. be
comes apparent to every one who un
derstands the sltustlon as a regulator
of railroad freight rates.
"With the provision In the rail
road bill which recntly passed the
house, to the effect that railroads
shsll not In the future be allowed to
reduce rates to drive out water com
petition and then after It Is driven
out rslse them, makes rlVer Itnprove
men t morj .essential than exv.. .
_ "This. j>ro vision lis the raw will at
tract navigation to the rivers. That
navigation will be protected and
there will be real competition be
tween rivers and railroads that will
result In cheaper rates, better facil
ities, quicker movement and more
courteous treatment on the part of
railroad officials to the ahlpping pub
; 11c, Is certain.
"The policy of annual appropria
tions for rivers and harbors. Inaugu
rated by the Rivera and Harbors com
' mlttee of the present Congress, Is a
1 step in the right direction. It Is en
fltlted to receive th* support of the
American people. And much of the
aentlment In taror of the waterway
Improvement U largely traceable to
1 the work of the National Rivers snd
j Hsrbors Congress, an organisation of
the .very flrst Importance.
'The hope of the future genets
' Hons lies* in the' development of the
; rivers of the country. There Is a
limit to railroad deveiopiftent. That
' limit had -been almost reached.
' "To carry the products of the fleld,
the fsctery, and the otfife to the peo
| pie of the nation at' the to*6et cost
possible, snd to enabie the people of
1 one section of the country to' deal
economically with the people of the
1 other section.- Is one of the para
mount duties of the national govern
ment.'' * ? ? ? ?

New York. June l.-r- With $40,000
Hi prizes offered /or flights the lead
ing bird-man of America today be
fan slylng plans for a aeries of races
that will put America In the forefront,
j of nations from the avlatloa. stand
point. The prizes offered are: 410,
000 for a flight between New York
snd St. Louis, approximately 1,060
miles; $25,000 for a race between
New Y.orkjin^ Chicago, approximate-"'
I ly ?60 miles; $5,000 for a race be
tween Indianapolis and Chtcngo.
. Blther of the two major flights Is
more difficult than 'the flight from
London to Edinburgh, for which Lord
Northcliffe offered $50,000 Immedi
ately after his $50,000 prize for the
ixmdon^fanchester flight was won- by
Louli Paulhan.
The American offers ^1<m> demand

New York, today declared that he Is

ation In America now.
"1 will certainly enter aeroplanes
in bdth of the long faces, New York
Chicago and New York-St. Louis."
he said. "It is possible that 1 will
| drive myself, although I may let one
of my mechanics take chsrge.
"Of course the routes will be de
termined largely by the official regu
lations of the races, but I believe the
best way to Chicago would be to cut
across New York State, touching
Rochestor and Buffalo, and then pro
ceeding west In a straight Jine.
"It would be practicable, of course,
to go over Pennsylvania through
Brie arid on by way of Cleveland, but
1 believe that the mountains on this
route would be a handicap. Of course
they would test- the skill of the con
testants. ' .'T*'
???The period of tvn days has been
suggested for the Chicago flight.
That to me seems fair, for it would
give adequate time for the repara
tion of accidents." t
