Tedford did not serve his sentence because a Criminal Court cierk placed a copy of the mandate of the State Supreme Court in a pigeonhole of his desk where it has remained until to-day. Meanwhile Joshua Tedford has made good. He quit his job as a po liceman, after being convicted of ail ing in the disappearance of Mabel Lewis, a State’s witness in the case against a man charged with burg lary. He went to work in a large clothing store, and to-day he is su perintendent of the place. A young lawyer, whose client was convicted and sentenced, was respon sible for bringing the Tedford case to the notice of Chief Justice Olson, of the Municipal Court. He remarked in a speech to the court that his client had no “pull” like the one Josh Tedford had when he was sentenced to prison seven years ago. The court ordered an investigation and the pigeonholed Supreme Court decision upholding the sentence of the lower court was found. An effort was started to-day to get Governor Dunne to issue a pardon for Tedford.

On the question of waterpower,over which a shurp^flght was waged in the committee room, the report is non committal. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 Creation of a Department of Public Works with a Cabinet officer at its head as the best means to obtain a compar ative and systematic plan of water way transportation, and renewal o f approval of Congressional legislation exempting from Panama ('anal tolls vessels of the United States engaged in coastwise trade, were among the leading recommendations to-day of the resolutions committee of the tenth annual Rivers and Harbors Congress. The report was scheduled for adoption by a large majority. This proposed department of the Federal Government represents the indorsement of the idea of a compar ative scientific plan of river improve ment and flood prevention as embod ied in the Newlands bill. It marks the turning point in the policy of the organization.
