LEVEE PLAN RECEIVES FAVOR Bill Is Now Pending in Congress to Relieve Yearly Suffering in Southern Valley. MEMPHIS, R<>pt. 13.—The Mayors of cities In more than half of the States of the Union have come out for Government aid In the protection of the Mississippi Valley States from floods. This sweeping indorsement of the RanMdell-Humphreys hill, which provides $60,000,000 for levees and comes up at the December session of Congress, Is one of the interesting exhibits of the work the Mississippi River Levee Association Is doing In the interest of Government levees for the 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 the far Western States, in New England, 1« the Middle West, In the groat 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 as 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 oacrlflced to the Ohio floods of 1913 Mayor Cadot, of that city, sayj In part: "While our own valley suffers greaMy from floods. I believe the greater dnmage is done In the Mis sissippi Valley, and I earnestly hope you will succeed in securing the re quired appropriation from the Gov ernment. and be able to begin active operations at the earliest possible moment "In my opinion, the levee plan is the best 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 matte! for the Federal Government to act upon immediately.” Mayor c. O. Meigs, of Twin Falls, Idaho, writes: "I believe, and always have be lieved. that this should he a national task rather than an expense to be borne b> the citizens living Imme diately adjacent to the river, and as the Mississippi drains a huge portion of the United States. I take pleasure In stating that I heartily concur with tne views of the Levee Association in this matter." The Mayor of South Milwaukee, Wis writes in part: "I 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 tlie work of controlling the floods to com pletion as rapidly hs possible." Mayor R. L. Metcalf, of Pasadena, Cal., writes as follows: *‘ln 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 some move to that end, and I 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 the National Government should take up the burden and give y*m whatever aid is needed." The Mayor of Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "I heartily concur in the views ex pressed In your communication re- g.<rdli g th< spring floods of the r>w i Mississippi. I believe the Govern ment should lend 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, Arlz., writes: "I am In receipt of your favor of the 18th, and will state that I am heartily 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. Gillis, 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. Remote as we are from these constantly recurring floods, we feel that our people are deeply inter ested In their prevention and that any assistance that can be given voui work should be freely given. Please advise me of what way I can be of assistance and I will be glad to do what 1 can." iThe Mayor of Lynn. Mass., George Newhall, 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 th»- lower Mississippi Valley from Captain Batson of Savannah Will Organize Company to Promote Passenger Multiplane.

Mademoiselle Polaire. being by com mon consent the ugliest theatrical star alive and the most fascinating withal, has an absolute right to wear what she pleases. It is only when a woman has an open pride In her lack of pulchritude that she has achieved a sort of free-will condition as re gards clothes and ornaments. And because she Is an Independent In matters of raiment the fascinat ing Polaire Is going to show Atlanta something that will open the eyes of every man and woman within Its limit*—she is coming to Atlanta, you know, with Gertrude Hoffman and Lady Constance Rewart-Richardson, the dancers. Her particular innovation is a nose ring—a daring, unprecedented nose ring, suggestive of nothing so much as a FIJI Islander. But then the tur key trot is hardly suggestive of the art of terpslchore, so it is not an un believable thing that Mademoiselle Polalre’s nose ring will become—but no, American girls mean no harm by any of their fails, and even their crlt- tlc* vow that they have common sense enough and to spare. There will bo no nose ring fad. however much the fascinating Po laire flaunts her badge of eccentric ity before their faces. Polaire. it Is announced, never dreams that her own freak fashion will become the vogue Perhaps that Is why she adopted it. At least, she will have someth ng to herself. But Atlanta will have an opportu nity of ludging, and perhaps if It likes can place un order for early winter delivery.

UTAH TO BOOM STATE IN ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 13.—"lam for Utah." Within the next month this slogan will be fixed in the minds of every local Utah man. woman and child. This is the aim of the publicity bureau of the Salt Lake Commercial Club. The plan for financing the bureau was completed by the finance com mittee yesterday. The first move was to order by wire 100,000 ‘I Am for Utah" buttons. These will be sold for 25 cents each. The finanvre com mittee hopes to raise an initial fund of $25,000 by this means. ALLENTOWN. PA* Sept. 13.— Working dally for many years at the bench in his cobbler shop and able to earn only a scant living, Carl W. Gossner, a shoemaker, was overjoyed when he received a letter Informing him that he had fallen heir to half the $20,000 estate of his brother. Wilhelm, who died recently in Germany. Gos3ner immediately left for Phila delphia to consult the German Consul and expects the money In a few weeks. His sister, who lives in Switz- I erland, shares in the estate. 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 propellers 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 his fearlessness. For years he has 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 1 machines will be scattered over the I United States, according to the ar rangements made by the company. The completed machines, however, will not be offered for indiscriminate sale, but will be used for passenger traffic under the auspices of the com pany. The Batson triple-motored aen 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 huovlng area Is distributed over a large number of wings of moderate size. These are attached to the ma chine chamber in a wav 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 f ered. Single Pilot Governs. The peculiar construct’on of the wing Is such that the air currents are guided under the wings inwardlv 13- ward the body of the machine, where they are banked under the base por tion, thus bring'ng the greatest stress on the nart where the weight Is ca *- r ; ed.

"It is far more wonderful," he sail, "that men should Uterallv take their lives in their hands and go from Par’s to London through the air. over sea and land in their unavoidably un steady craft than that the Batson aero yacht should, with so much great - er carrying capacity and complete au tomatic stability, be able to go longer d’stances *n perfect safety. A great loss of life appears to be lnevitabla with aeroplanes of the dangerous and unstable type now in general use and though the recent Titanic disaster show’s that It is impossible to foresee every contingency, yet it is a safe and comforting prediction that because of Its automatic stability no such ac cidents as those which hitherto have happened can possibly occur to a Bat- ion multiplane.” 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 snA.ll chapel in San Giuseppe Vesuvlano, 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 * resolution of the Town Council of San Giuseppe Vesuvlano 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 a base nine feet high and a twelve-foot mar ble column surmounted by a Pom peian capital, the work of the sculp tor Arizo, 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 accumulated deposit of ashes and all were crushed to death. The Hearst newspapers collected for the sufferers more than $36,000, 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- mierl, who was present as Mr. Hearst’s representative. Banquet to Judge Palmleri. Later a banquet was given in honor of Judge Palmier!. In an address the Baron Quarante di San Severlne cited many actions of Mr Hearst which, he pointed out, entitled him to the grati tude of Italians, both in Italy and in America. He mentioned also the stand taken by all the Hearst news- napers during the Italo-Turkish war. and the many flghts made by those publications against laws restricting immigration. Every reference to Mr. Hearst was loudly cheered. Speaking as the representative of Mr Hearst, Judge Palmier! thanked the committee and the municipality for the noble way in which they ex pressed their gratitude to one of Italy’s most sincere friends In Amer ica, Mr. Hears, s name, which Is en graved in large letters at the base of the column, was Joined to those of the Queen and King of Italy in a toast which all drank standing. One Drink Costs Him $1,000 and His Wife ‘Water Wagon Contract” Burden Too Much for Man Who Never Got Drunk. CHICAGO. Sept. 111.—'The existence of a ‘‘water wa,?on contract*' for 31,000 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.” Wisconsin Vice Commission De clares Lack of Home Care Re sponsible for Waywardness.

The amount of compensation to prisoners will range at 1 to 6 cents per hour, and the gradings will be based upon character, Industrial efficiency and good conduct. MADISON, WIS.. Sept. lS.-JRlama for immorality among young girls of 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 ride* telephones^ stimulating food and drink, and or ganizations of boys to ostracize girls from society who refuse to submit te 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, earfy 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 are living too high, going too fast, anl disn|irdlng the balances which make for moderation and moral up lift." "What remedy can you suggest for the suppression of immorality?" asked Chairman Howard Teasdale. "I have found that communities having segregated vice districts un- dier strict regulation hiave 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?" asked Senator Victor Linley, of Superior. "That Is true,” Dr. Harper repllel, "but at least 1 per cent of the girls will go wrong anyhow, It seems." FEEL HE DU, DIZZY, B LOOS? CLEISiIBLIY.fi!
