Bill Is Now Pending in Congress
to Relieve Yearly Suffering
in Southern Valley.
MEMPHIS, Sept. IS.—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 Ranndell-Humphreys bill, 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 levee* 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 State*, 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
»cem to have been studying the flood
proposition with as much interest as
tne residents of the States imme
diately affected by floods.
Levee Pl*n Favored.
One of the most interesting letters
Is one from the chief executive of
G'llHpoIls, Ohio, a city which almost
was sacrificed to the Ohio flood* of
1913 Mayor Cadot, of that city, sayj
In part:
“While our awn valley suffers
greatly from floods. I believe the
greater damage 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 beat remedy for overflow that has
yet been proposed.”
Mayor Joseph M. Ilalloran, of New
Britain, Conn., writes In part as fol
lows:
“It seems to me that the building
and maintaining of levees Is a matter
for the Federal Government to act
upon immediately.”
Mayor L. O. Meigs, of Twin Fall**,
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 drain* a huge portion
of the United States. I take pleasure
In stating that I heartily concur with
the views of the Levee Association in
this matter.”
The Mayor of South Milwaukee,
Wis.. write* in part:
"I am heartily n favor of the proj
ect and shall help you w’henever 1
can.”
The Mayor of Ogden City,* Utah,
Bays among other thing*:
“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
3 8th instant, will say. in my opinion,
nothing will solve o flood problem of
the Mississippi 1 u •* until Congress
makes rome mo- ; that end, and
I feel sure that i' s ’ v * only method
to follow.”
The Mayor of ig keepsie, 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
you whatever aid is needed.”
The Mayor of Indianapolis. Ind.,
writes:
"I heartily cojicur in the views ex
pressed in your communication re
garding the spring floods of the lower
Mississippi. I believe the Govern
ment should lend every aid possible
to protect the people of this vast ter
rltory and that steps in this direction
should be taken at the earliest possi
ble moment.”
The Mayor of Phoenix, Ariz.,
writes:
*1 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 youi
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 th- lower Mississippi Valley from
L floods.”
These are only a few of the nu-

Mademoiselle Poiaire, being by com

withal, has an absolute right to wear

know, with Gertrude Hoffman and

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

Poiaire, 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 something to herself.
But Atlanta will have an opportu
nity of Judging, and perhaps if it likes
can place an order for early winter

ALLENTOWN. PA., Sept. 13.
Working daily 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.
Gossner immediately left for Phila
delphia to consult the German Consul
and expects the money in a few
weeks*. His sister, who lives In Switz
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 w’lll 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 w’ork 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
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 aero
yacht, as the machine is technically
known, will carry about three tons
dead w’eight load. Instead of being
comprised of a single plane or a pair,
the buoying area is distributed over a
large number of wdngs 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 entered.
Single Pilot Governs.
The peculiar construction of the
wing is such that the air currents are
guided under the wings inw’ardly to
ward the body of the machine, where
they are banked under the base por
tion, thus bringing the greatest stress
on the part where the weight is car
ried. Such is the arrangement tha:
the essential “angle of incidence” «.t
all the wings can be governed by a
single pilot, even to such an extent
that should all the engines be stopped
the wings will be automatically set at
a safe gliding angle, the course of
which is easily controlled
Captain Batson takes the success
of his invention as a matter of course.
“It is far more wonderful,” he said,
‘that men should llterallv take their
lives in their hands and go from Pari*
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
distar#es in perfect safety. A great
loss of life appears to be Inevitable
with aeroplanes of the dangerous and
unstable type now in general use. and
though the recent Titanic disaster
shows 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 Eat-
lon multiplane.”
MINISTER LEADS CHURCH
AT “EXCAVATION PARTY”
BI^OOMINGTON. IND., Sept. 13 —An
“excavation" party was a new social
sipnt given by the Falrview Methodist
Church last night to further the build
ing of a new’ church. While the wom
en of the church gave a vaudeville
show and served sandwiches, the men,
led by the minister, the Rev. C. M.
Croft, with wheelbarrow’s, spades and
other implements, excavated under the
church and made room for a Sunday
school basement. Three hours’ work
completed the basement.

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 tn the presence of the
civil and nfllitary 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 a base
nine feet high and a twelve-foot mar
ble column surmounted by a Pom
peian capital, the work of the sculp
tor Arlzo, 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 Thank*.
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 $35,000,
which w’as handed to the Italian Red
Cross Society. A small balance of
$206 afterward was devoted to the
erection of the memorial w’hich 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
mier!, who was present as Mr.
Hearst’s represenfative.
Banquet to Judge Palmleri.
Later a banquet was given in honor
of Judge Palmleri. In an address the
Baron Quarante di San Severine 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
papers during the Italo-Turkish war,
and the many fights 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! thankefl
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. Hearst a 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 w’hich all drank standing.
CHICAGO, Sept. IS.— 1 The existence
of a "water waaon 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. W7S., Sept. 18.—Blame
for immorality among young girls of
Wisconsin was placed principally on
their parent* 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 te
their will are gome of the principal
causes of the social evil among the
better classes of citizens of Wiscon
sin, said Dt. 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 are
living too high, going too fast, and
disi t J irding 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
I having segregated vice districts un

, est degree of morality,” replied Dr.
i 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,
j “That is true,” Dr. Harper replied,
j “but at least 1 per cent of the girls
will go wrong a*nyhow, it seems.”
