S RANSDALL AGAIN PRESIDENT Convention Passes Resolution Asking States and Municipalities to Conservé Dock and Land- ing Facilities. WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—~What Is de- clared by its officers to have been the most successful convention of its kind ever held came to an end today when the Na- tional Rivers ayd Harbors congress ad- journed after a three days' session. Repre- sentative Joseph E. Ransdell of Loulsiana was re-elected president at the morning session and Captain J. F. Ellison of Cin- cinnati was returned to office as secre- tary and treasurer. Vice presidents to rep- resent states were also named, The new board of directors met imme- diately after adjournment and took up the questiop of the date and place for the next convention. ‘Toledo, O., and one or two other cities sought to have the delegates meet elsewhere than {n Washington In 1910, but the directors pointed out that the most suftable place is the national eapi- tal and that the convention should be held coincident with the convening of congress. The matter was put over to a later date. It was declared at the close of the meet- ing, however, that a great majority of the board. is opposed to any change In time and place for the holding of the annual convention. X New Department for Waterways. The congress declared through its resolu- tions for & new department for the treat- ment of waterways improvements by reg- ular annual appropriations; for the speedy completion of waterway projects now under construction, to be paid out of current rev- enues, if possible, otherwise for the sale of bonds. The lution also called on states and municipalities to preserve and protect their dock and landing facllities, without which the improved channel would be crippled in its usefulness. Prof. Bmory R. Johnson of the University of Pennsylvania, making a report on his inspection of European waterways, sald that on the continent of Europe it was the policy of the government to regulate raii- roads from making their destructive war- fare upon w waterways. This, he said, would have to be done by the United Sta James B. Smith 0f St. Louls, chajrman of the committee on resolutions, reported that the resolutions would go to the presi- dent and congress as a report from a great business organization, He belleved, fur- ther, that the great waterways of the country should be developed before “Dyead- noughts” need be bullt to fight imaginary foes. Resolutions are Ad: % The resolutions were unanimously adopted and a committee appointed to present them to tha president, the vice president and the speaker of the Nouse. The resolutions make an appeal to con- gress for an appropriation of $60,000,00 for river and harber work, and $0,000,000 o5 - nually for ten years thereafter; express the bellef that the rivers and harbors bill should be placed on an equal footing with the other great appropriation bills and condemn what {8 declared to be the present method of appropristion, whereby the river and harbor bill carries only what after the other budgets ha thorized. It is declared that unless the Waterways of the United States are so improved as o provide the proper transporiation facilities this country cannot hope to increase its do- fuestic commerce as it should, or to ‘take advantage of the opening of the Panama canal in order to compete with the markets of the world. —— —_— “mmwk.“wtll cusau-—mum—mmm ' ‘Oil Stove Explodes, F.ive Are Killed Woman Gives Up Her Life Trying to Save Lives of Chil- dren.
