Already the councils of Pitts- burgh, St. Louis, Louisviile, Parkers- burg and Cairo have taken action, ‘while resolutions are pending before the councils of Wheeling, Cincinnati, Evansville, Memphis, Kansas City, St. Paul and Minneapolis. Chambers of commerce in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Parkersburg, Louisville, Evansville, Memphis 2nd New Orleans have passed similar resolutions. Slack-Water System. The project is based on plans pre- pared by the Corps of Engineers of the United States Army calling for com® Pletion of the Ohio river slack-water system, which is an open river below Evansville, deepening the channel of the Mississippl to six feet between Minneapolis and St. Louls; dredging an eight-foot channel in the Missis- sippi between St. Louis and Cairo; the maintenance of a nine-foot channel in the Mississippi from Cairo to New Orleans, and the opening of the Mis- souri to navigation between St. Louis and Kansa These pians, when carried ov Army engineers say, would give a 2.000-mile water high- Wway between Pittsburgh and New Orleans and one of equal length be- tween Minneapolis and New Orleans. Projects for a canal between Lake Erie and the Ohio river are now being urged from Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and other points. Congress has already made some provision for surveys for these waterways and their proponents are urging speedy decision as to the best route and commencement of the work. Co-ordinate with these river navi- gation proposals are projects for stor- ing flood waters to be released in periods of dry weather, thus affording protection from flood damages and assuring stream navigation in times of low water. In part, for this pur- pose, Pennsylvania has permitted the TUnited States government to enter and purchase cut-over timberlands at the headwaters ,of the Allegheny river, one of the principal feeders of the Ohio. The territory thus set aside is to be known as the Allegheny na- tional forest, and will be supervised and managed exactly as forest re- serves in the far west. One million acres having been allotted to thisres- ervation, of which about 400,000 are now being taken over by the federal government. Power Projects Under Wi Hydro-electric power projects in the Allegheny and Blue Ridge mountains of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Kentucky are also under way which it is anticipated by men experienced in river navigation and flood control will_do_their part toward decreasing flood risks and assuring full time navigability of the river. One of these projects is situated on the Clar- jon river, a tributary of the Alle- gheny, in Pennsylvania, and is already under construction. It proposes to impound all the water of the river in the season of full banks, and after using it for generating power, permit it to flow out in dry weather at a given rate per day which, it is stated, will materially benefit water trans- portation down the Allegheny and Ohlo rivers. During the past vear the Ohio river has seen the sudden development of a heavy tonnage of steel products transported from Pittsburgh and Wheeling in steel barges to points slong the Mississippi and Ohlo for local use and for transshipment by rail into western and southwestern states. The Jones & McLaughlin Steel Company has been regularly sending out a tow of barges once a month, each transporting many thou- sands of tons of its products at con- siderable economies in transportation costs. Other large producers of steel haye been making use of the Ohio and Mississippi in like manner. Proposals for Connections. Incident to the general scheme are proposals from Ohio river poirts and frem Chicago and other Illinols cities for connections to be made between the great lakes and the river sys- tem of the Mississippl basin. Such connectlons, it Is stated, would give this country a system of waterways as freight carriers which could not be duplicated in_any other country in the world. Waterways and com- mercial associations in Tilinois are urging that a canal sixty-four miles in length be cut between La Salle and Joliet. which would connect the canalized illinois river with the Chi- cago drainage canal and make a di- t connection from the lakes to the gulf, over which, it is claimed. great tonnages of freight. consisting of manufactured, agricuitural and raw products, would soon be moving the Year around. The whole scheme, according to close observers, {s a unification of shipping, agricultural, flood control, water power and other interests to procure for this country a system of water freight ways, flood-control basins, forest preserves and power- producing systems which will result In big reductions in the costs of transportation, distribution, flood Josses and power rates. As the na- tional system of rivers In the Missis- sippi_basin now exists. it is pointed out. there is either too much or too season. Installations which will im- pound the excess water and ease It out when required will result in these streams powerful aj ties in conjunction with the national rallways and the national highways, the whole creating a vast distribu- tion system. DISTRICT AUTOIST. FINED. Fred Connor' Accused of Driving Car While Intoxicated. Special Dispatch to The Star. .TIMORE, Md., August 5.—Oper- ating an automobile when, it is al- leged, he was under the influence of liquor today cost Fred D. Connor, 1519 Rosedale street northeast, ‘Washington, D. C., & fine of $100 and casts before Magistrate Stapleton at Halethorpe. Connor is safd to have been driving along the Washington boulevard about 10:30 last night when his ma- chine colli with another car in ‘which Det Shannghan of this . eity was riding, and he placed Connor arrest. fo 1ittle water in them. according to the ! Senator Harrison charged that be- fore Senator Smoot wrote to Gen. Crowder Cuban producers, after ne- gotiations, had refused to agree to curtall this year's crop. He read from the last January nunmber of the Economic Bulletin of Cuba as to the negotiations. This stated that a curtailment of production had been “insisted on by the United States beet sugar Interests and government offi- clals of the United States,” and Mr. Harrison asserted that a threat had been made that unless the crop was decreased a tarlff duty of three cents a pound might be imposed in place of the proposed 1.6 cents a pound. Also, he declared, the Cuban pro- ducers were promised that If they ‘would comply with the request the 1.6 cents duty would be cut to 1.4 cents. “When was a blacker page ever written In the legislative history of this country?’ asked the Mississipp! senator. “When was a more inex- cusable proposal made to another country with which we were on friendly terms?" Senator Smoot told the Senate that he would read his letter to Gen. Crowder later and would show “whether there Is any agreement on my part or on the part of Gen. Crowder as to what we would do or what Congress would do. I did not promise that Congress would do anything. I had no power to do it.” Points to Clean Record. Referring to the alleged syndicate agreement, Senator Smoot said he hoped he’ never would live long enough to “bring in here a document that 1 know nothing about and then try to blacken the character of an- other senato “I say now,” he added, “that I can show the country that I am just as clean as I can be In everything I have said and done, and in my whole heart I am willing to have laid bel fore the whole American people not only this, but every other act of my life. 1 have never done anything that I have not been perfectly will- ing every living soul on earth should know_all about” Senator Harrison replied that he was glad to have the statement from Senator Smoot, because he had found the Utah senator to be fair in his senatorial work. Broussard Defends Rate. Opening_the discussion in favor of a duty of 2 cents a pound on Cu- ban raw sugar, Senator Broussard said he regretted Senator Harrison’ speech, adding that it was a defense of the American Sugar Refining Com- pany, which, he asserted, had large Cuban_eugar holdings. The Louisiana senator asserted that the tariff urged would be effective only in case of overproduction of sugar throughout the world and that at such & time it would be necesary unless the domestic producers were to_be forced out of business by an influx of the more cheaply produced Cuban sugar. Asserting that the world price of sugar was the New York price, which was fixed on the basis of world con— sumption, Senator Broussard argued that sugar coming from Cuba or else- where had to absorb both freight costs and the tariff and that consequently there would not be an increased cost to the domestic consumer. He point- ed out that the southern cotton growers in selling their cotton for export had to allow for transporta- tion costs to Liverpool, and that the same situation obtained as to sugar. Votes Begin Tuesday. Reverting to Senator Harrison's statement about rumors that fifty sepators had “signed up” to support a duty of 2 cents a pound on Cu- ban_sugar, Senator Broussard said he had proposed an amendment to make the duty 2 cents, that he had no_signatures of senators on the re- publican side and that he knew he could not get the signatures of ten democratic, senators. : Under the unanimous consent agree- minority leaders after several hours of conferences, the Senate will vote at 2 p.m. Tuesday on all amend- ments to the schedule, and before adjourning that day it will dispose also of amendments to the para- graphs dealing with potash and the proposed bounty thereon and white arsenic. On Wedneaday a vote will be had on all amendments to the sections relating to hides, boots, shoes and leather, and on Friday amendments to the flexible tariff pro- visions and those proposing a “scien- tific” tariff will be acted upon. Beginning on Saturday the Senate will then proceed to the consideration of remaining committes amedments to the bill, and after that will dis- pose of individual amendments that may be proposed. After 11 am. Sat- urday no senator will be permitted to speak longer than fifteen minutes on any amendment or motion, nor longer than thirty minutes upon the bill. From tomorrow until Saturday senators will be allowed to speak not more than an hour in the aggre- gate upon any one of the paragraphs especially named for consideration during that time, nor more than an kour on amendments to any one of the paragraphs. Refused uanimous consent to bring up his resolution proposing an in- quiry into the material interests, any, of senators and others in the passage or defeat of the tariff bill, Benator Gooding, republican, Idsho, announced in the Senate that unless he could get action he would demand a investigation.” He sald there had been reflections on him in the Senate and in various newspapers and that he was entitled to an inquiry.

The sickness insurance grants to workmen, domestic servants and clerks, whose annual earnings do not exceed a certain limit, cash pay- ments and benefits in kind. The funds responsible for the payment of these benefits are kept up by the contributions of the insured persons and of the employers. Mark's Value Crux. Accident and invalidity insurances also are provided. These, however, as well as the sickness insurance, are being operated today with a great deal of difficulty and highly un- eatisfactory results, owing largely to the depreciation in the value of the m ark. “It will depend on the valge of the mark and on the labor market.” the minister concludes, S to whether the sick, the disabled and the in- valids can be protected against further miser: THE WEATHER District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia—Fair today and tomorrow; slowly rising temperature; gentle ‘variable winds.

FRANCE PREPARES 10 COLLECT DEBT Premier Poincare Gives Or- der for 8uspensjon of Ger- man Contract Payments. PLANS STERN PENALTIES Property Seizures May Follow Soon—French Ignore Opinion of the Allies. By the Associated Pres ! PARIS, August 5.—Falling assur- |ance by Germany, which was to have been forthcoming today, that she jwould meet the August 15 install- ment of £2,000,000 toward clearing | debts contracted by German individ- juals with Frenchmen before the war, ! Premier Poincare has directed that {measures be instituted to safeguard | French interest so far as there debts are concerned. | The measures, providing for -us- i pension of payment to Germans ¢f I money owed them by Frenchme: | through pre-war transactions and the ;sunpun ion of all further payments ‘due Germans for Properiy scques- ,trated in France, were decid:d upon after the French forelgn offic: re- ! ceived a hote from Germany today in | which the request was made that de- {ciston with regard to the German debts be deferred until after next week’s conference of allied statesmen at London. Premier Polncare, it was sald in official circles tonight, will not bring up the question of Germany's refusal |to pay the August installment of debts at the London conference.

It is explained that the 60,000,000 or 70,- 000,000 francs hurriedly withdrawn by German banks from foreign banks in Paris when Premier Poincare’s policy of penalties appeared a cer- tainty was more than enough to pay half the August installment. Although the German reply to the latest French communication was un- satisfactory, the premier is sald to have noted the altered tone used by the Germans as compared with their previous note, which was regarded here as deflant and very outspoken. FRESH JOLT FOR MARK. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, August 5.—¥ecause of the depreciation of the mark, the news- papers say that a German govern- ment representative has called the attention of the economic council to the necessity of doubling the present export assessment. By the plan a German exporter would have to sur- 100 per cent more than the per- centage he is obliged to hand over at present. The government, it is sald, con- siders it should adopt this course in order to conform to the develop- ments of the exchange market In levying the increased assessments the government will differentiate in favor of such Industrles as are operating under costly production. Exporters assert tomatically will produce increased de- mand for foreign currencles, thereby further accelerating the declino the mark. This factor and the state- ment of the reichbank indicating an increase in currency of thirteen bil- lion_marks for the last week of July combined to drive the mark down turther today, although the bourse was not in session. Mark quotations in the free trading wavered between 781 d 770 to the dollar. * * follow you _wher ever you are so- journing.
