FOR DEEP WATERWAYS Question Will Be Before Congress Next Winter Question of River and Harbor In provements Senator Gore's Rapid It:se Navy Department Bother d , by Young Wireless Inventors. Washington, July 19. The question of a deep waterway between the lakes and the gulf will be one. of the burn ing questions before the house next winter. It begins to look as if for some time to come the question of river and harbor improvements in the United States on a grand scale would hinge on the disposition of this deep waterway proposition. Far from being a local question, it is looked upon with certainty that the proposed deep waterway will become of national importance and that the advocates of the deep waterway will be able to hold back legislation on rivers, harbors and canals until they succeed in getting what they want from the government. The army engineers who have made an investigation' are unanimously op posed to the deep waterway between the lakes and the gulf on the ground that, although the plan is perfectly feasible, commercially it would be a stupendous failure. In face of this opinion it is probable that the advocates of a deep waterway will go ahead with more energy than ever in favor of their scheme lor a fourteen-foot canal. The man who now looms up as the foremost advocate of the waterway scheme is the new sanator .rum Illi nois, William Lorimer. Mr. T.orinier will have back of him in his advocacy of the measure the business interests of the city of Chicago who see in the proposed work something that would redound to the credit of the entire Mis sissippi valley. No estimates of the cost of such a waterway has been given out, and it is thought that when I he coft will greatly handicap the advo cates of the measures at present. Thomas Gore, the blind senator from Oklahoma, has won for himself a place unique in the history of the United States senate. After Senator Gore's election and before his arrival In Washington, stories were published broadcast throughout the country that the blind man us an orator was a failure, as an executive had no ability and will only be an addition to the "also there" columns in political and social circles. Neither .Mr. nor Mrs. Gores care much for society, but Mrs. Gore takes a keen interest in ixilitcs. and is her husband's constant com panion. Because of his affliction the senator is denied the pleasure of most men and he usually stays at home, ex cept for his daily walk, accompanied by his devoted wife. After a session of the senate the senator may retire to his office to pie pare a spech, if not he goes home. There he turns over in his mind every thing that has occurred during the day. His memory brings back to him every word which appealed to him in accord with his own sentiments or contrary to them. It Is said that it is after the senator has retired in the quiet of the night that he does his thinking for the day to coine. It is then he frames his speeches best. The days are much alike to the blind man. He is always studying and think ing and planning. There is little else for him to do and the concentration of his mind is his habit. It has won for hi in his place in the senate, giving him confidence to assert himself among his fellows without fear or favor, and made him one of the most feared de baters in congress. The report that preceded him to Washington, that lie was chosen senator from Oklahoma be cause of his plea "For the little woman with brown eyes" (Mrs. Gore), has been effectually disposed of. He stands to day in the senate on his own merits, lespected by democrats and repub licans alike for his ability to make the best of them think twice before they tackle a blind man in debate.

Most of them have discarded their frock coats and go to work now attired in black alpacas. Recently there has been completed at the treasury department what is ju'oliatriy the Lrn-aii world. Tie- vault is inirniiri! tt hold lie half hillin of currency which was au thorized by the Aldiich-Vreelainl bill. Work on the vault was commenced un der Cortelyou's administration, and so perfect is it that a small army of bur glars wouKl stand aipallc:l at t hi task of trying to break into it even were they able to K.iin access to it. The roof of the vault is about 27i feet under the surface of the street. under the corner of tile building occu pied by the division of the issue of the treasury department. There is only one way of reaching the vault by an ele vator, which opens into the ottice of the division. The vault is of steel, throughout and is ".'. feet wide with a height or IS- feet. All the steel en closing the vault is eight inches thick, something like the armor of a battle ship. No less than 17 miles of wire is wound around the vault, and it is prac tically impossible to touch the exterior of the vault in any fashion without set ting off an alarm. The Alilrich-Vieeland bill requires that 54ti0.0iX.0o0 in emergency cur rency be printed. About two-thirds of that is already in the vault. Alaska is not only a mining, but one of the richest agricultural districts in North America, according to Judge Jo seph Nathan Teal, of Portland, Ore., who is here. "Everybody thinks that Alaska is an icy desert," said the judge, "but as a matter of fact in the north ern part of Alaska, where the day is Jll hours long, all kinds of vegetables and grain will grow, and that in much shorter time than in the states." Senator Warren, of Wyoming, was talking about the ilevolpement of the wool to i Iff. and how things had been going from had to worse for the farmer until at last he "woke up." "Yes." said Dblliver, some time later discussing his coleatigue's speech, "it was all right for him to wake up. but he didn't need to break down the door and smash the furniture." The navy department seems to lie at A loss what to do with the thousands of young and enterprising wireless in ventors who have built as well as de signed delicate instruments of their wn. have learned 'he naval aod com mercial codes and copy the official dis patches of the navy as promptly and accurately as the naval operators themselves, said a retired naval officer recently. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Watseka, 111.. July 19 With $5, 000 on hand and the wealth of Penn sylvania relatives amounting to a quarter of a million unreservedly placed at her disposal. Mrs. Cora Mil ler, wile of Dr. William It. Miller, who killed Banker John Byron Say ler, today began her iiglit to clear her hushir.nl of the charge of murder. She is in WatsoUa today assisting Attorney Fred P. Morris in the gath ering and preparation of evidence which she hopes will clear the ac cused physician, who is locked up in the county jail with Jlrs. Lucy Say ler, the slain man's widow, and her father and brother. John and Ira tlrunden, his alleged accessories. For the first time Mrs. Miller told fully the story of her marital unhap- luness and the wrecking ot her home by Mrs. Sayler. She advances a new theory for the slaving of the Cres cent City hanker, in which hypnotism plays an inir.ortant part. She said her husband never really loved this woman, but was the victim of her hypnotic spell. According to her theory, Mr. Miller was hold at the Sayler home on the fatal night against his will, and Mrs. Saler goaded her husband on to at tack the physician, who was com pelled to shoot in self-defense. She feels confident of proving: this and claims to have a witness who will swear that Dr. Miller once said to iiini, "I wish 1 could get that Mrs. Sayler off my hands." Like the Sayler brothers, who have organized a "clan" to prosecute the prisoners. Dr. Miller's Pennsylvania relatives have banded together and pooled their wealth to rescue the phy sician. Among the relatives tire S. G. Mil ler, his father; Wesley Miller, a brother, who is postmaster at South Sharon. Pa.: Rev. Noble G. Miller, John Marshall, an uncle, of Blairs ville, Pa.: Joe Alter, father of Mi's. Miller. Their fortunes are said to aggre gate nearly a quarter of a million dollars. John Marshall accompanied the woman and her 12-year-old son, Harrington, from Pennsylvania.

Twenty-five governors have wfitten President Taft urging him to make a trip of inspec tion down the Mississippi river in No vember. The occasion of the proposed trip will be the annual convention of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterways Association at New Orleans to which the president has already accepted an invitation.

This is because the Singer idea is dis tinctive every year chows improvement in that idea. flj This is because the Singer factories are not only equipped with tools and machinery better calculated to make good sewing ma chines than any other, but this equipment is unique and not to be found elsewhere. JThis is because a half century has been devoted to training and specializing men, each to do one thing best in sewing machine construction. The Singer's superiority its lifetime-lasting value does not appear on the surface. if One machine does sew better than any other and that one is the Singer.

Boston, .Inly 19 One man was killed .four people were injured, a dozen were overcome by smoke, w hile others jumped from upper story win dows into life nets and into the arms of rescuers during a fire which im perilled the lives of over 5tl people early today in the three-story brick tenement block at 17, 19, and 21, Morton street, in the north end. Po licemen, firemen, and citizens vied with each other in daring rescues. Siiilty ones. Kvulenc:, of the feeling existing be tween the members' of the Sutton laniily and the naval officers, alleged io have been implicated in his death was furnished before the opening of the court, when Mrs. Parker, sister the dead lieutenant, openly accused one of the officers of being guilty of the murder of her brother. The inci cent occurred in Carvel Hall, the headquarters of the naval witnesses called to testify. Photographers had i'sked Lieutenants Adams, Osterman ar.d Uevin to pose for pictures. "(Jo' to the Suttons; they want the notoriety and will give you all you vent," replied Adams, turning to ftirs. Sutton and her daughter stand ing a ft,w feet away. Mrs. Parker, tor the moment, lost control of her feelings. "I can tell you the name of the man who murdered my brother," she declared with feeling. "He is not far nom here w"" " she added. While the scufe of guests at the hotel attracted at the high pitched voices of the naval men and the wo men looked on in amazement the pretty little woman continued to de nounce her brother's death and his rormcr asosc:ates in no mild terms. The incident was closed only after the lieutenants witndrew from the hotel. The board of inquiry finally decid ed to change the scene of the inquiry to the auditorium annex, a more com modious place titan the administra tion building, originally chosen. After the formal proceedings of opening court an adjournment was taken until 1 o'clock. That Mrs. Sutton and her daugh ter, Mrs. Parker, will take the wit ness stand was established bufore the formal session adjourned. Lawyer H. E. Davis, for the women, declared to Judge Leonard that he desired the court to bar all witnesses except the one. testifying, from the court room. "Although Mrs. Sutton and Mrs. Parker will both appear as wit nesses, I wish to have it spread upon the record that it. is our desire that witnesses be excluded, except when testifying," the lawyer declared. Although the name of former L'eu tenant Koelker appears on the list of witnesses, lie was not on hand when (he formal proceedings were held. A naval attache was authority for the statement that he had been found but the court declined to say whether or not ne had been served with a subiioenae. Disappointment was manifested on r.ll sitU'S when it became evident that the list of witnesses did not include tne women friends of the lieutenants who mignt be able to throw light on a motive for the murder of Lieuten ant Sutton. THK COKPOHATIOX TAX. lie-draft of the Measure in the Hands of the Conference. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, July 19 The con ferees on the tariff bill this afternoon received from Attorney General Wickersaam the re-draft of the cor poration tax amendment, which was submitted to the president, and has his approval. The conferees will go over the amendment this afternoon but it is not likely they will reach a rinal agreement on it for a day or two. Senator Crane, of Massachusetts, has been recalled to Washington to use his influence to line up senators in favor of the president's plan of lieo raw material. Senator Culloni, one of the con ferees, has been summoned to Illi nois on account of the illness of his wife.

Friends and officials are apprehensive because they have not been permitted to see him. I'scil the Figure of the Rose Bash and Applied it to Human Rela tions Hector of St. Bartholomew's Calls it Cold Merciless Doctrine. (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, July 19 Preaching In the pulpit of St. Bartholomew's, the church home of the Vanderbilts, the Right Rev, Charles D. Williams, Protestant Episcopal bishop of Mich igan, criticised the Bible class teach ings of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. "A scion of wealth,' he said "re cently used the figure of the gard ner's treatment of a rose bush, cut ting off all but the hardiest buds, that the flowers might be perfect, saying it was right to apply-that idea' to human relations; and that doc trine was advanced, not in a board meeting, but before a Bible class. "They say that a rose by any other name will smell as sweet, but the odor of that rose to me smacks strongly of crude petroleum. "In our industrial concerns, such as soap factories and oil refineries, ' we have learned that the profit is in taking care of the by-products, and what would otherwise be the waste, and nature, we see, allows no waste. That is the way we must do to follow Christ's philosophy. , "If Jesus Christ came again today might He not have to go out again from our churches as He went out from the olden time synagogues, and leave them to their chosen clientel, while He would go to the slums? "I wonder if the young man ever read the Bible which he professed to teach? That doctrine of the rose bush was the cold, merciless, scien tific doctrine of evolution applied to human relations the doctrine that the individual was of no use other than to perpetuate and develop the species. "Compare that with Christ's phil osophy of the shepherd, who, having ninety and 9 sheep safe in the field, goes out to look for the one which is lost. "The present church, like the an cient synagogues, is lapsing into the work of ministering spiritual luxury to the morally fit Of course, it is a good thing to keep the core of society clean, but if Christ came again today would He confine his ministry to this class? . "There is a rich man in a southern city who, for the past 20 years, has been doing personal work of the feal Christ type without any trumpets to call attention to it. This man has taken fallen women into his home, has treated them as honored guests of his family and by such care and treatment has rescued them, and even carried many of them into happy mar riages where, with their past un known and buried, "they have become respected and honored leaders of society."

(By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, July 19 John Mayer, one of Hie six American Sugar Refin ing officials indicted for alleged vio lation of the Sherman anti-trust law, today pleaded not guilty before Judge Hand in the criminal branch of the United States circuit court. Mayer was in Europe when the other de fendants pleaded. His plea today was only tentative, as he may change it or demur. The indictments charge an illegal loan of $1,250,000 to Adolph Segal, which resulted in the closing of the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Com pany, it is alleged. The cases were set for August 3.
