MILLER ASSAILS -TAKES-TO-THE-SEA "SHIP CANAL PLAN prlah “aan Governor Protests to Deeper, Waterways Convention Vigorously. 4 Md CALLS IT IMPRACTICAL. Would Merely Serve to Divert) Shipping From Our Own ' Ports, He Says. | SAVANNAH, Ga., Nov. 16.—Gov. Mathan L. Miller of New York, !rtan) address delivered here to-day before the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Con-| vention, vigorously opposed the proj- ect of connecting the Great Lakes ‘and the Atlantic by the canalization | of the St. Lawrence. He protested | of the commerce which can possibly | which are so bitterly complained of. ‘against it as an impractical propo- | sition and because of his belief that | it Involved an unwarranted expendi- | ture of public money. He said in part: “The character of the propaganda back of the St. Lawrence project is Mustrated by a recent circular of the jure association favoring it. It says that the engineers’ report is altogether favorable and that it was known that it would be favorable. How that ould be known except to the dis- @redit of the engincers is difficult to ‘anderstand, in view of the fact that ‘every report heretofore by every army engineer who has studied that or similar projects for a ship canal from the lakes to the sea has been ad- verse.” | After calling attention to the esti- mate of $200,000,000 as the initial expense to be borne by the United Btates as its share of the BENIeC | Gov. Miller said: “That sum is one-fifth of the est amount that has beeh expended in the improvement of our rivers cond harbors during the entire history of the country. Without counting some approved projects for which estimates are lacking, it will require nearly $200,000,000 to complete the river and harbor improvements’ which already been approved both by the army engineers and by Congress and ere still held desirable. Appropria~ tions for rivers and harbors for the last twenty years have averaged about $30,000,000 a year, so that at that rate of progress, and in the pres- ent condition of the treasury, we can hardly expect faster progress, It will take at least seven years to complete the approved projects and we may be sure that there are many not yet ap- Proved which could well be under- taken. “The approved projects concern every harbor on the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Coasts, and the Great Lakes and every river capable of serving the needs of commerce. We have been slow in the past in improv- | ing our inland waterways which na- ture has provided for us. We need to develop every means of transpor- tation at band; we need to develop our ports and harbors, every one of them to the fullest extent possible, t+ meet modern requirements, and | as- @ert that every one of those needed im- | provements already approved should ‘de completed before one dollar is spent to construct a waterway through a foreign country, which, if —_—o— Architecture in Shoes ® Much the same.as a good building is erected, so are VAN-HART SHOES built.

Specially skilled craftsmen comfort into these shoes in their ing and they are fitted to your feet by experts—men who are schooled in the art of cor- rect and careful fitting. The ease and clegance of a VAN-HART SHOE are su- Preme. A Special Sale of Incomplete Lines at $8.00, $9.00 and $10.00 have* commercially successful, would merely serve to divert shipping from | our own ports to a foreign country. | “The State of New York has ex-| pended #165,000,000 on Its great inland | waterway system to give the Stato, now clamoring for a ship cana! an ad- equate all water route to the sea. That waterway has recently been Inspect- ed by a visiting delegation from other States, including forty members of the Lower House of Congress, and T aim sure that no one who has trav- ersed it can have the slightest doubt but that It Is capable of handling ali reach the Atlantic even by a ship canal, “We have not only done that, but we have also constructed terminals and are now constructin, a grain ele- vator in the Harbor of New York so that for a mere nominal charge th: grain from the Middle West can be elevated and transferred to ovean vessels without any of the delays due to congestion or the burdensome ter- minal costs of the Port of New York The waterway Is there and the ‘ter- minals are there, and the elevator will soon be there for the free use of jour sister States.” eee FOUR HURT IN WRECK OF A TENNESSEE TRAIN None Are Reported im @ Serious Condition, CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Nov. 16.— The Suwanee apectal on the Cincinnatt Southern from Chicago to Jacksonville, was wrecked carly to-day at Spring City, alxty-five miles north of Chatta- nooga Four or five persons were reported in- ‘BORNAS O'BRIEN, THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1921.

The legal fight over the $7,000,000 estate left by the Inte John K, Stew- art, founder of the Stewart Manufac- turing Company and the Stewart- Warner Speedometer Company, Chi- cago, to-day revealed that his name really was Terence O'Brien, under which he was a mining prospector in the West. He was born in Vermont, and his first job in the West was clipping horses. He invented a flexible shaft to make clipping easier, He fell in with two other Irish lads, Arthur and Michael Conlon, brothers, and the three decame as friendly as the Three Musketeers, agreeing to share in whatever fortune came to any one of them. But they found no gold. Back clipping horses again, he found that his little horse-clipping machine was doing for him what gold mining had not done. It made money; and the principle of the flex- ible shaft, applied to other inven- tions, made still more money for him. It was about this time that Terence O'Brien changed his name.
