LEVEE PLAN RECEIVES FAVOR
Bill Is Now Pending in Congress
to Relieve Yearly Suffering
in Southern Valley.
MEMPHIS. Sf'pt. 18.—The Mayors
of cities In more than half of the
States of the Union have come out
f»>r Government aid In the protection
r f the Mississippi Valley State? from
floods. This sweeping Indorsement of
t ie Ransdoll-Humphreys bill, which
provides $60,000,000 for levees and
comes up at the December session of
Congress, I* one of the Interesting
exhibits of the work the Mississippi
Diver Levee Association Is doing In
the interest of Government levees for
<he lower Mississippi River.
Out of the replies already received
not one chief executive has expressed
the slightest disapproval of the prop
osition. The Mayors of cities In t)ie
f ir Western States, in New England,
In the Middle West, in the great
northern section and from every
Southern State have come out unani
mously for the project. Each letter
shows an unusual familiarity with
the subject. The people of Califor
nia. Massachusetts and Montana
seem to have been studying the flood
proposition with ns much Interest as
tne residents of the States Imme
diately affected by floods.
Levee Plan Favored.
One of the most interesting letters
Is one from the chief executive of
Galllpolls, Ohio, a city which almost
was nacriflced to the Ohio floods of
1913. Mayor Cadot, of that city, sayj
in part:
“While our own valley suffers
greatly from floods. I believe the
greater damage is done in the Mis
sissippi Valley, and 1 earnestly hope
you will succeed in securing the re
quired appropriation from the Gov
ernment, and he able to begin active
operations at the earliest possible
moment
“In my opinion, the levee plan is
the beat remedy for overflow that has
yet been proposed.”
Mayor Joseph M. Halloran, of New
Britain. Conn., writes In part as fol
lows:
“It seems to me that the building
and maintaining of levees is a mattef
for the Federal Government to act
upon immediately."
Mayor e . <). Meigs, of Twin Falhv
Idaho, writes:
“I believe, and always have be
lieved. that this should be a national
task rather than an expense to be
borne by the citizens living imme
diately adjacent to the river, and as
the Mississippi drains a huge portion
of the United States, 1 take pleasure
In stating that I heartily concur with
the views of the Levee Association in
this matter."
The Mayor of South Milwaukee,
Wis. writes in part:
“1 am heartily n favor of the proj
ect and shall help you whenever 1
can.”
The Mayor of Ogden City, Utah
says among other things:
"In my judgment, it is clearly the
duty of the Federal Government to
make ample provision to carry the
work of controlling the floods to com
pletion as rapidly as possible.”
Mayor R L. Metcalf, of Pasadena,
Cal., writes as follows:
"In reply to your request of the
18th instant, will say. in my opinion,
nothing will solve the flood problem of
the Mississippi Valley until Congress
makes pome move to that end. and
1 feel sure that it is the only method
to follow.”
The Mayor of Poughkeepsie. N. Y .
writes in part:
"I am heartily in favor of your
work and believe that It is fair and
just that th* National Government
should take up the burden and give
you whatever aid is needed."
The Mayor of lndiunapolls, Ind.
writes:
"I heartily concur in the views ex
pressed In your communication re
garding the spring floods of the lower
Mississippi. 1 believe the Govern
ment should lenfi every aid possible
to protect the people of this vast ter
ritory and that steps in this direction
should be taken at the earliest possi
ble moment."
The Mayor of Phoenix, Arise.,
writes:
"I am in receipt of your favor of
the 18th, and will state that I am
h artily in favor of the Congress of
the United States appropriating a suf
ficient amount to prevent the flood
ing of the lower Mississippi Valley."
Nation Realizes Necessity.
The Mayor of Walla Walla, Wash.,
A. J. GU1 is. writes:
“The control of the flood waters of
the Mississippi is a problem of such
magnitude that it can be properly
handled only by the national author
ities. and it is of such vital import
ance to all of our people that the in
difference of Congress is hard to un
derstand. ft-mote as we are from
these constantly recurring floods, we
feel that our people an- deeply inter
ested in their prevention and that
any assistance that can be given your
work should be freely given. Please
advise me of what way I can be of
assistance and I will be glad to do
what I can."
The Mayor of Lynn, Mass., George
New hall, writes:
"I believe the flood conditions in
the lower Mississippi River should re
ceive the consideration of the Na
tional Government and that they
should assist the different States in
giving safe and thorough protection
to the lower Mississippi Valley from
floods.”

serous letters that have been receiv-

sufficient fuel for a two days’ run,
the craft will not have to descend to
replenish its supply on the long flight
from Savannah to New York, which
will be made directly after the first
trial flight. Then, circumstances be
ing favorable, the trip across the At
lantic will be attempted.
It is announced that the perfected
Batson hydro-aeroplane will have a
speed of 100 miles an hour, with a
probability of making better time
even than that under favorable con
ditions. Its eleven-foot propt!1ers
make 1,000 revolutions a minute. The
original machine, including the ex
pense of putting up the aerodrome,
will cost about $50,000. Captain Bat
son declares, however, that other ma
chines of the same type will cost
only $20,000.
Seeks Commercial Navigation.
Altogether, the intent of the man in
the Savannah shop is to render prac
tical the commercial navigation of
the air. He is a mechanical engi
neer, acquiring thus his scientific
knack. He is a daring soldier, the
organizer of the effective Filipino
Scouts, and comes thus honestly by
bis fearlessness. For years he har
been at work in perfecting the ma
chine with which the bold experi
ments will be made, and in which he
hopes to conquer the air. «

NAPLES, Sept. 13.—A memorial to
the 105 mothers and children crushed
to death during the eruption of 1906
under the roof of the small chapel in
San Giuseppe Vesuviano, where they
sought refuge against the overpow
ering fall of ashes and rocks, was un
veiled to-day in the presence of the
civil and military authorities of Na
ples, the Mayor of each town in the
Vesuvian district and a large crowd
of representative citizens.
A feature of the ceremony was a
resolution of the Town Council of San
Giuseppe Vesuviano thanking Mr.
Hearst and his newspapers for the
substantial help sent to the afflicted
district at the time of the eruption.
The monument, consisting of abase
nine feet high and a twelve-foot mar
ble column surmounted by a Pom
peian capital, the work of the sculp
tor Artzo, of Naples, marks the site
where on the night of April 8, 1906,
the stricken mothers repaired with
their infants to pray for deliverance
from the impending catastrophe.
Resolution of Thanks.
While they prayed the roof of the
flimsy structure collapsed under the
machines will be scattered over the | accum ulated deposit of ashes and all
United States, according to the .ar
rangements made by the company.
The completed mach'nes, however,
will not be offered for indiscriminate
sale, but will be used for passenger
traffic under the auspices of the com
pany.
The Batpon triple-motored aero
yacht, as the machine is technically
known, will carry about three tons
dead weight load. Instead of being
comprised of a single plane or a pair,
the buoying area is distributed over a
large number of wtngs of moderate
size. These are attached to the ma
chine chamber in a way so as to yield
to the extra stresses caused when the
machine encounters the great "boul
ders" in the air, just as the springs of
an automobile yield when an uneven
road is en'ered.

The Hearst newspapers collected
for the sufferers more than $35,000,
which was handed to the Italian Red
Cross Society. A small balance of
$206 afterward was devoted to the
erection of the memorial which the
local population had decided to build.
. During the ceremony Lawyer Silvio
Cola, chairman of the memorial com
mittee, before unveiling the monu
ment, read resolutions thanking Mr.
Hearst for his generous help. The
resolutions, engrossed upon parch
ment, were then handed to Judge Pal-
mleri, who was present as Mr.
Hearst’s representative.

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.—The existence
of a "water wagon contract” for
$1,000 a year between George Herr
mann, president of the insurance firm
of George Herrmann Company, and
his son. George Herrmann, Jr., also
an official of the company, was re
vealed recently by the Junior Mrs.
Herrmann, who filed suit for divorce
on the grounds of cruelty.
"George broke his contract this
year in March,” said Mrs. Herrmann,
who is twenty. "He started drinking
and, of course, it cost him the $1,000.
I don’t believe he has ever been
drunk in his life, at least I never have
seen him drunk. He was honorable
about it. and told his father about
the drink that cost him $1,000.
"I think my husband is a fine man.
I admire him, but not as a husband.”

MADISON, WIS., Sept. 13.—Blame
for immorality among young girls of
I ’Wisconsin was placed principally on
their parents by Dr. C. A. Harper,
secretary of the State Board of
Health, in testifying before the spe
cial Legislative Vice Committee.
"Lack of surveillance by chaperons,
social ambitions of parents, late
hours, suggestive dances, immodest
dresses, automobile rides, telephones,
stimulating food and drink, and or
ganizations of boys to ostracize girls
from society who refuse to submit to
their will are some of the principal
causes of the social evil among the
better classes of citizens of Wiscon
sin, said Dr. Harper.
Remedies suggested by him were
stricter watch by parents, less sug
gestive clothes, wholesome food, early
retiring hours, and elimination of the
automobile and telephone from the
use of the young women.
"It is generally recognized," said
Dr. Harper, "that there is a general
wave of immorality passing over the
country. It Is due partly to our
standards of living and a deadening
of the moral sensibilities. We arc
living too high, going too fast, ani
disregarding the balances which
make for moderation and moral up
lift."
"What remedy can you suggest fn*
the suppression of immorality?" asked
Chairman Howard Teasdale.
“I have found that communities
having segregated vice districts un
der strict regulation hjave the high
est degree of morality,” replied Dr.
Harper.
"Doesn’t a recognized vice district
require the abasement of a certain
per cent of women every year?" ask* J
Senator Victor Linley, of Superior.
"That is true,” Dr. Harper replied
"but at least 1 per cent of the girls
will, go wrong anyhow, it seems.”
