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.” These are only a few of the nu- serous letters that have been receiv- ■ 1 • n* rri the lev.', proposition and the widesperad interest in the matter of floods.

Continued from Page 1. 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. « Plants for the construction of the One Drink Costs Him $1,000 and His Wife Water Wagon Contract” Burden Too Much for Man Who Never Got Drunk. Resolutions of Gratitude Passed for His Aid After Eruption cf Vesuvius in 1906. Special Cable to The American. 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. Banquet to Judge Palmieri. 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.

RACINE, WIS., Sept. 13.—Richard Tuclovsky, six years old, was to-day committed to the ^Industrial school for boys, there to remain until the age of 21. Richard, despite his tender years, has caused the police more trouble than any ten grown-ups, his crimes ranging from plain burglary to high way robbery, in which he used an un loaded revolver.

The amount of compensation to prisoners will range at 1 to 5 cents per hour, and the gradings will be based upon character, industrial efficiency and good conduct. 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.” Later a banquet was given in honor ward the body of the machine, where f T a palmieri.
