to be in Good Shape.
(By Associated Press.)
San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 16. —
Friends of Congressman Elston here
and at his home in Berkeley express
ed themselves as mystified today by
reports from Washington indicating
that he had taken his life.
Ml*. ESston occupied a respected
plac£ in the community and his ca
reer, both as an attorney ami as a
member of congress, was regarded as
•successful. Be was serving his fourth
term in congress.
Mr. Elston had been active in Cali
fornia politics for several years. He
was one of the original members of
the “Lincoln Republican League,”
which was credited with effecting the
election of Hiram Johnson, now sen

failure of legislative plans which
would have placed a proposed Pacific
naval base at Alameda, in his home
district.
His business and financial affairs
were W excellent shape, according to
Prank L. Naylor, president of a Berk

RECOMMENDATION MADE
BY MAJOR GENERAL BEACH
Savannah Leads List With
$1,025,000; Fancy Bluff
Creek to be Remembered in
sum of $1,200 and Darien to
Get SB,OOO.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington. Dec. 16. —An expend!
ture of approximately $11,000,000 for
rivers and harbors in eleven, southern
states during the next fiscal year is
recommended by Major General
Beach, chief of army engineers, in
his annual report today to the secre
tary of war. This total is exclusive
of a proposed $7,500,000 for the Mus
ple Shoals, Ala., project in the Ten
nessee river, and $6,670,000 for the
Mississippi River Commission (float
control) and represents about one
fourth of the sum proposed for the'
entire country.
Principal harbor projects for the
south are Norfolk, s.‘>oo,ooo;' Savau-.
nah, $1,025,000; Brunswick $200,000;
Jacksonville. St. John’s river to sea,
$588,000; Tampa Bay, $14f£&00; Tam
pa and Hillsboro
bile, $300,000; Houston Ship Channel,
$400,000; Galveston Channel, $250,000
and Port Arkansas, $200,000.
What Comes to Georgia.
Savannah river below Augusta, $lO,-
000; at Augusta, $2,000; above Augus
ta.; $2,000; Darien, harbor. $8,000; Fan
cy Bluff creek, $1,200; Sa Lilia river,
$2,000; St. Mary’s river, Gem-gin and
Florida, $12,000; Altaraaha river, sll,-
000; (Oconee river, $24 000; Ocrrnil
gee river. $20,000; Flint river, s2;’>,ooo;
and Chattahoochee river. Georgia and
Alabama. $122,000.
Maintenance of harbors *
IS ALWAYS CONSIDERED.
The fact that Savannah is to re
ceive the large, sum of a million and
twenty-five thousand and Brunswick
two hundred thousand, according to
the recommendation of General
Beach, does not mean that alertness 4
on the part of Savannah’s friends and
lack of it on the part of Brunswick,
caused the. big difference to the state’#
leading harbors. Fact of the matter
is, maintenance Is always consider
ed in calculations and it is a "ell
known fact that the government
spends small sums on Brunswick's
harbor while on Savannah’s it must
keep continually dredging in order to
have sufficient water for vessels of
deep dranght.
