Sent Special Message To
Congress Telling Why He
Will Not Allow William
K. Staudisli To Build Ob
struction Across James
Rivev.
WASHINGTON, D. C—The presi
dent Saturday sent a special message
to congress explaining his veto of
the bill to allow William H. Standish
to construct a dam across James Riv
er in Missouri. It follow's in part:
To the House of Representatives:
1 return herewith without my ap
proval House bill 17707 to authorize
William H. Standish to construct a
dam across James River, in Stone
County, Mo., and divert a portion of
us waters through a tunnel into the
said river again to create electric
power. My reasons for not signing
mo bill are:
The bill gives to the grantee a
valuable privilege, which by its very
nature is monopolistic, and does uot
contain the conditions essential to
protect the public interest.
In pursuance of a policy declared
in my message of February 26, 1902
(S. Doc. No. 325), transmitting the
report of the Inland Waterways Com
mission to congress, I w r rote on
March 13, 190 S, the following letter
to the senate committee on com
merce:
Numerous bills granting water
rights in conformity with the general
act of June 21, 1906, have been in
troduced during the present session
of congress, and some of those have
already passed. While the general
act authorizes the limitation and re
striction of water rights in the pub
lic interest and would seem to war
rant making a reasonable charge for
the beneius conferred, those bills
which have come to my attention do
not seem to guard the public Inter
ests adequately in these respects.
The effect of granting privileges
such as are conferred by these bills,
as 1 said in a recent message, “taken
together with rights already acquired
under state laws, would be to give
away properties of enormous value.
Through lack of foresight we have
formed the habit <sf granting without
compensation extremely v aluable
rights, amounting to monopolies, on
navigable streams and on the public
domain. The repurchase at great
expense of water rights thus care
lessly given away without return has
already begun in the east, and before
long will be necessary in the west
also. No rights involving water
power should be granted to any cor
poration in perpetuity, but only for_ a
length of time sufficient to allow
them to conduct their business profit
ably. A reasonable charge should,
of coarse, be made for valuable
rights and privileges which they oh
tain from the national government.
The values of which this charge is
made will ultimately, through the na
tural growth and orderly develop
ment of our population and indus
tries, reach enormous amounts. A
fair share of the increase should be
safeguarded for the benefit of the
people, from whose labor it springs.
The proceeds thus secured, after the
cost of administration and improve
ment has been met, should naturally
be devoted to the development of our
inland waterways.” Accordingly I
have decided to sign no hills here
after which do not provide specifi
cally for the right to fix and make a
charge and for a definite limitation
in time of the rights conferred.
An amendment to the present biil
expressly authorizing the government
to fix a limitation of time and im
pose a charge was proposed by the
war department. The letter, v|t:i
message, and amendment above re
ferred to were considered by the
senate committee on commerce, as
appears by the committee's report on
the present bill, and the proposed!
amendment was characterixed by the j
committee as a "new departure from
the policy heretofore pursued in re- j
spent to legislation authorizing the
construction of such dams.” Their
report set . forth an elaborate legal
argument Intended to show that the
Federal government ha* no power to
impose any charge whatever for such
a privilege.
The fact that the proposed policy
is new is In itself no sufficient argu
ment against its adoption. As we j
are met with new conditions of in i
dustry seriously affecting the public I
welfare, we should not hesitate to I
adopt measures for the protection of J
the public merely because those j
measures are new. When the pub-!
He welfare Is Involved congress
should resolve any reasonable doubt J
as to Its legislative power in favor
of the people and against the seekers :
for a special privilege.
J *»son for believing that the j
Fede • government, In granting a 11-1
cenae to dam a navigable river, has
the power to Impose any conditions 1
it finds necessarv to protect the pub
lic, including a large and a limita

SATURDAY
Well Known Augustan,
Distinguished For His
Business Ability and
Sterling Character, Goes
To His Reward.
Mr. James F. McGowan, whose ill
ness has been told of in The Herald,
died Saturday morning at 1:10
o'clock, at his residence in Summer
ville. He had been cirtically ill for a
week. He had phthisis.
Mr. McGowan had been in failing
health since last May, when he en
countered the first effects of a nerv
ous break-down that finally resulted
in a combination of disorders, which
caused his death. He spent several
months of the summer season at Ashe
ville, in the hope of regaining his
health, but the vacation was of slight
benefit. In October he returned to
Augusta, and took up residence on
the Hill. Since then he had been con
fined most of the time to his room.
He was unable to identify himself
closely with his business interests,
being compelled to direct in but a
general way the transactions of the
firm of J. F. McGowan, cotton mer
chants, which he organized after the
Inman failure.
Last Friday he broke down com
pletely. Hls remarkably vigorous con
stitution was no longer able to with
stand the attack of a complication
that for months had sapped his flag
ging energies, and the most earnest
efforts of skilled physicians and at
tendants could not revive him. For
several days before his death he was
unconscious. The end approached
gradually; death came upon him like
a tranquil slumber.
Mr. McGowan was born at Laurens,
S. C., on July 27th, 1865. He was
the son of Capt. Homer L. McGowan,
a gallant Confederate soldier. The
early years of his youth were spent
in school; He finished his education
at the Citadel Academy, in Charles
ton.
Soon thereafter he took up the cot
ton business at Spartanburg. In 1895
he became identified with the cotton
firm of S. M. Inman & Co., taking
charge of their branch in Athens. In
1896 he took charge of the branch
that was opened in Augusta. The fol
lowing year he became a member of
the firm of Inman & Co., his ability
as a business man placing him Im
mediately In the position of a manag
ing partner.
Augusta never knew a better citi
zen than James F. MvGowan. Any
movement looking to the advance- 1
ment of the city’s Interests always
enjoyed hls co-operation and zealous
support. In Augusta as a cotton mar
ket he cherished absolute confidence.
When the Inman firm was organized,
he selected this city as the most ad
vantageous central point for conduct
ing its affairs. The growth of that
business was of benefit to Augusta
that cannot be overestimated. It is
said that local cotton receipts were
augmented annually by scores of
thousands of bales, Dy the installation
of the Inman compress.
The embarrassment of the Inman
failure —which was due to Provi
dential causes and to a combination
of circumstances which neither his
marvelous foresight could have antici
pated nor hls business ability have
mastered —never weakened Mr. Mc-
Gowan’s determination, hls fatih in
Augusta’s advantages, nor altered the
public’s confidence in hls integrity.
That he would ultimately have tri
umphed over adversity and realized
the bright future which was opening
before him when sickness Intervened,
was the sincerest wish and belief of
the entire community.
Although hls acquaintance was not
so general as that of many business
men less prominent and Influential
In the commercial world, respect and
admiration of many warm personal
friends, to say nothing of Ihe univer
sal high esteem In which e was held
by every business associate. Hls
death is mourned in many cities
throughout the southern cotton belt,
in the east, and abroad, where he was
well known.
Mr. McGowan was pleasantly
I known in the social life of this city.
He was a member of the Commercial
and Country clubs. He was a mem
ber of the vestry of St. Paul's Episco
pal church. Hls charity was gener
ous. but modest and unassuming.
He is survived by his wife, to whom
he was married in 1892, and who was
Miss Meta Charbonnler, the daughter
of Coi. L. H. Charbonnler, of the TTni
-1 versity of Georgia at Athens; by two
i children, Henri C. and Marguerite Mc-
J Gowan; by hls mother, Mrs. Julia F.
! McGowan; by two brothers, Mr.
Samuel M. McGowan, a paymaster in
j the United States navy, now with the
Atlantic fleet, and Mr. P. H. Mc-
Gowan, a newspaper correspondent of
Washington; and two sisters, Mrs.
Rosa McGowan Cantey, of Atlanta,
and Mrs. A. L. White, of Spartanburg.
The funeral services will be con
j ducted from fit. Paul’s church by
i Rev. G. Sherwood Whitney, at 4
I o’clock Sunday afternoon, and Inter
ment will take place at the c!t4 cem
etery.

BAUMS GET YEAR
IN PENITENTIARY
IT ATLANTA
Judge Speer Scored Them
as Men of Very Bad Char
acter in Passing Sentence
For Violating Internal
Revenue Laws.
Julius and Marcus llntim were
found guilty In the United States
court today of violating the internal
revenue laws without having paid the
special tax for retailing liquor and
were sentenced by Judge Emofv
Speer to one year in the penitentiary,
and to jmy a fine of Jinn.
The Ratlins who keep a clothing
store on the ten hundred block of
Broad street were raided bv the fed
eral officials last August ami a large
lot of rye whiskey, gin and corn
whiskey found In a house In the rear
of the store which they occupied ns
a dwelling. The arrests and raid
followed the securing of Information
by the officials and after several bot
tles had been purchased at the In
stigation of the officers hy a negro
named Jim Cato. They vere re|v
resented by Hon. Wit. H. Fleming
who fought bard lo keep them from
being found guilty.
WITNESSES
WERE ATTACKED.
t'alo was pul under a severe fire
ano hls credibility was attacked. Ho
had after the preliminary hearing
made an affidavit in Mr. Fleming's
office that he had sworn falsely
against, the Baums. He had been
brought to make this affidavit by
Turner Jackson and he 100 wur, bit
terly assailed by the prosecution as
having offered on behuif of the
Baums to give Cato a hundred dol
lars to make tills affidavit. The case
was further enlivenod by Mr. Finn
ing's taking the stand as witness and
narrating how the affidavit was se
cured by the voluntary acl of Cato.
Another thing that tended to make
the case Interesting was that after
the raid the Haunts had secured a re
celpt showing that they had paid the
tax and by having It dated so as t©
cover the time In which the raid was
made sought to show the government
had removed their liabilities. This
was not allowed and the receipt was
made to count against their case In
stead of helping It.
The Jury after being out a short
time brought In a verdict of guilty
with a recommendation to mercy. In
sentencing them Judge Speer severe
ly scored them as men of "very bad
character” and for having been gull
ly of perjury arid attempted suborna
tion of perjury. Judge Speer’s re
marks follow: |
WERE MEN OF
BAD GHARACTER.
"I don't think I have ever seen a
more heinous cane of violation of this
law than that of which you have been
found guilty. Yon criminally minis
ter to the vlletst appotlte of the
vilest members of society, and at the
same time you are taking part In
what your counsel describe# In sub
stance as a general saturnalia In
this place for the lawless sale and
use of liquor. You are proceeding
to violate not only the lav/s of the
state, but what seems to be far more
dangerous, the laws of the United
States.
"Besides, you are obviously men of
very bad character, and you arc both
guilty of perjury In this case. Any
body cauli see that. The verdict of
'he jury, while out. of the kindness of
ihelr hearts, recommending you to
the mercy of the court for leniency,
must, have found that your state
ments were false; and If Is apparent
also that, you were not only guilty of
perjury, but that you were guilty of
attempted subornation of perjury. I
am reliably Informed that one of you
have stated In the superior court that
he keeps a house of prostitution hack
of his store. You certainly had a
poker room there. 80 - low are jour
associates thu* the lowest people In
the neighborhood had free access to
the privacy of your home.
Suppose a miserable, desperate vil
lain from one of the country counties,
uri African whose native savagery
had not. yet been eliminated by the
processes of civilisation and religion,
had gone to your place, and provid
ed himself with out of these flasks of
fiery and Infuriating liquor, which
you had carefully packed In packager
suitable for him to take home. Some
unprotected girl or woman, In all
likelihood might have become the vie
tlm at the hands of your associate.
In crime of such atrocious assault as
Infuriates our people until they for
get nil the restraints of law, and put
to death the offender In such manner
as Is a reflection on the humanity of
us all.
VIOLATED
STATE LAWS.
I hardly think anvhody could com
mU a worse crime than to lawlessly
furnish the maddening drink that you
furnished, in violation of the lav/, to
the lower elements of 'hat larger
class ol our population, whose pres
ence here furnishes a problem that
staggers the powers of prophecy and
prerclenc * to know how it will be set
tled and adjusted. It was this that
made the people of our state adept

Say* That in His Admin

Get Greater Considera

ATLANTA, Ga, Tresident-olect
Taft, the honor guest at the Cham
ber of Commerce banquet Saturday
night, electrified his hearers with hls
message to the South, which contain
ed declarations far more welcome to
this section than some of those pres
ent. had anticipated.
He frankly admitted that In many
Instances the Federal administrations
have acted toward the South as to
an alien country or a dependent ter
ritory. Mr. Taft declared with em
phasis that the keynote of Ills policy
would be to treat the South as an
Integral pnrt of the country and tn
extend to It equal and exact justice
In all matters.

that he proposed to select for Federal
officers In the South, “Those whose
character and reputation and stand
ing In the community commend them
to their fellow citizens as qualified
and able to dlschargo their dutlc*
well and whose presence In Important
positions will remove, If any such
thing exists, the sense of alienism In
the government which they repre
sent.” The banqueters, composed ol
leading citizens from every slat*
aouth of tho Mason and lDxons line.
Jumped to their feet and for several
minutes It was Impossible for Mr
Taft to proceed.
The banquet marked the birth ol
the new American toy, “Billy ’Po»
sum," which was presented to Mr
Taft.
