In the poeeeealon of navigable riv

South la also abundantly bleeaed. The
National Conservation Gommlsaion
recently reported the total length of
navigable streams in the United

cording to reports of engineers and
from other reputably sources it la
estimated that of this total tbere arG

Thl? total does not include- the
Ohio Hirer though 900 utile* of this
stream benefits Southern trltory; nor
do*s it include any portion of the
Misiselppi Hirer. Th|? would leave
about K.000 miles of navigable
streams on the Ndrth Atlairtlc snd

of the total for the 'remaining two

persons were arrested.
The militiamen charged Into the
heart of the crowd, which fought
back with clubs and missiles before
being cowed for the time being.
The calling ouf of the troops fol
lowed a desperate atempt on the
part of th'e loci?-authorities to restore

Sheriff Harshmarger. surrounded
by a force of regular and special

H? had spoken but a moment ap

the leaders rushed forward and drag

him away.
All night long the throng remain-!

dozen bonfires made the spectacle

The arrival of the troops, brought (

With bayonet* fixed, the soldier*
tramped through the town to the jail j
while jeering crowds lined the
streets, at times showering thptnf
