Penrose Favors the Work on the Rivers Chairman of Senate Finance Com mittee Declares Improvement of Waterways Most Important. WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. (Special.) Sen ator Boles Penrose of Pennsylvania, chair man of the powerful committee on finance, aays the the subject of transportation was always the great problem for Inland sec tlons of the country. That cheap and abundant facilities for the transportation of the great natural products of the forest. farm and mine not only add to the value of all farm and city property within the sphere of their Influence, but Increase ma terially the growth of natural wealth and reduce the average cost of the necessities of life in the great centers of population. "I believe that -there is tio subject now engaging tha attention of the people more truly national- In its scope than the ays tematio scientific and permanent Improve ments of the - Inland waterways o the country," said Senator Penrose. "Frankly I have thought sometimes that there was a good deal of exaggeration about certain bodies of water because their commercial needs have never been apparent, but as te the necessity for the Improvement of certain rivers of the country I have not I the least doubt. The Interstate Commerce commission In its far reaching decision recently handed down" affecting rates between the Atlantic ocean and the Pacific coast notified car riers that they will be allowed to meet water competition to a. reasonable extent which seems to give materways a new status and pat them upon a new footing. 'While I believe In a conservative treat ment of our waterways, I am not blind to the fact that certain Improvements must be made In our rivers looking always to their final completion when their up-kaep will be -the only charge upon the govern ment. And In order to bring this about we should have annual river and harbor bills, conservatively made up to cover continuing contracts to the end that work begun on our rivers be completed within a reasonable time. "The question of an Intelligent treat ment of our rivers, harbors and canals should neither be local nor sectional. It la a national question and Its solution should be along national lines and it should not be made the subject of politics. In this connection I cannot help but pay tribute to the work of the National Rivers and Harbors congress which has been produc tive of great good In bringing about le fi nite results and In educating the public mind aa to the development of Inland waterway projects and I am In hearty sympathy with its work and purposes."

Walters, a former prominent garln commission and elevator man of Minneapolis and Sioux Falls, hss been lodged in the county Jail to await trial on the charge of assault with a dangerous weapon with Intent to kill. This charge grew out of a recent attempt to shoot and kill Mrs. Sarah Blelfus, who formerly had been engaged as a stenographer for Walters. The cause of the shooting yet remains considerable of a mystery, but the most plausible theory Is that it was the outgrowth of Mrs. Blelfus resisting un welcome attentions. Walters some months ago waa charged with embezzlement and fled to British northwest territory, where he waa arrested and brought back to South Dakota. He effected a settlement in con nection with this and the charge waa withdrawn. The trial of tha present case against him promises to be sensational.
