Suesting "loans" before claims of

cusations, which were made ' when

Rciff of the bridge company of giv
ing him money 13 years ago when he
was caiajbaigning for re-election, and
declares that Reiff said it was purely
for his campaign and would put
Flanagan under ho obligations tb
the bridge company. This' did not
amount to more than $125, the su

Sault;Ste.' Marie, Micji.May 13.
Special.) Declaring that the St.
Lawrence deep waterway project i
is "the greatest movement ever nn-j
dertaken for the development of the
United States and Canadat" R. B. !
Glenn, former governor of North
Carolina' and a member of the i
American section of the international
joint commission, "opened the com
mission's investigation of the lakes-to-the-ocean
channel project here
yesterday. '
Answering New York's first salvo
against the deep waterway, wltneses
before the commission declared that
navigation of ocean tramp steam
ers in the confined channels of the
St. Lawrence, St Croix and St.
Marys rivers will be as easy as
navigation in the entrance to any
port on the Atlantic seaboard.
' Navigation . Experts Testify
Members of. the - commission di
rected questions at Louis C. Sabin,
United States government engineer
in charge of the St. Marys Falls ship
canal, and . Captain P. H. Uberoth,
in charge of the United States coast
guard in the St, Marys river, intend
ing to find-, out whether an ocean
steamer-would be -able to -navigate
the confined channels connecting the
lakes, b New York's assertions that
such navigation would be impossible
were given at length before the com
mission at the, opening Jiearing at
Buffalo In March.
"An ocean steamer will have no
difficulty in navigating these chan
nels," said Captain Uberoth. '
Captain Uberoth said lake steam
ers, made 8 to 10 miles an hour in
the' St. Mar'ys " river channel. He
said ocean freighters seldom make
better than 10 or 12 nautical miles
an hour.
Mr. Sabin said lake earners made
an average of. 10 or 10.5 miles per
hour on their, entire trips, including
sailing in the open lakes, confined
channels and tocks. He said there
are ample facilities at the Sault
locks to take care of any traffic that
might come up the St. Lawrence.
Mr. Sabin estimated that it would
take a boat 16 days and 15 hours
to go from Sault to Liverpool by
way of .the St. Lawrence; and 19
days and 15 hours, from the Sault
to Liverpool by way of the New
York canal if the New York canal
were deepened to take care of tramp
steamers.
