BRYAN CHEERED LUSTILY Democratic Candidate Declare for Hirer Improvement Small Cap italist's Mean of Regulating Transportation Rates. CHICAGO. Oct 8. When William J. Bryan, speaker of the day at the sec ond tension 0f xhe peep Waterways convention, reached the Auditorium Theater today, the audience arose In a body, cheering- lustily and waving American flags. It was a repetition of the reception accorded William H- Taft ytrday. Previous to the arrival of the dis tinguished Xebraskan, a letter was read from J. J. JU1L itr. Hill cites the failure of certain waterways as competitors of rail lines, and says that up to the present time the river has been unable to compete with the rail road, owitiK to Its low charges, be cause of the rapidity and certainty with which the latter carries and de livers freight. The letter continues: Too Many Railroad Laws. t hare been for years urjclnr that th bijlktlnir up of transportation machinery eommnurate with th growth of the coun try iitouIiI not only be rrnilttd but en- rurajcM tn the only two wayi poMHble nrt. iy enrourav'nfc capital to Invest In railroad construction Instead of scaring it awav by lusuie and unjust legislation and -nu. ry a comprenn-Mv ana rat Ion a vsim of waterways Improvement. There I no oth-r war now, nor will there evar be. ty w) ten the business of the coun can be on. Mr. Hill complained of what he termed the restriction by legislation of the legi timate powers and profits of railroad en terprises, which, he averred, has not only checked Investment, but brought about a year ago a business reaction from which the country is still suffering, while the multitude of hostile laws increasing expenses and cutting down income of railroads make this year's showing ths worst since the years of National railroad disaster. Tend to IatroT Business. Mr. HUI said that wtthin the last five years S3 states have enacted a total of K laws regulating railroads, nearly all of which hare been enacted without In- eetlgatioa or knowledge of their effects. It this ware to continue," he added, the future of railroad transportation would end In the destruction of the busi ness of the Nation. Fortunately we have reason to believe that saner counsel will prevail. The carnival of legislative wreckage has demonstrated the necessity of substituting Federal for local legisla tion." How to Develop Waterways. Mr. Hin declared that the future of the waterways Is assured, not so much as a competitor but as a helper of the railroad. He continued: The eenentlal for developing the water war's hisjheat possibilities are few and simple. Klrst. a permanent eommlMlon. su tortzed to expend appropriations la its dis cretion upon National waterways In the order of their Importance. f eeond, classification of rivers and canal routes In the order of their value by the commission and plans to be adhered to without Interference by Con gress or any official. Third. Insistence upon ths development of trunk lines first and upon a depth that will make these real carriers of commerce. Fourth, a liberal standing ap-j-mprlatlon annually fr the commission's work wltVut making the mistake of urging that the National credit be pledged to un-eard-of amount In order that we may com plete the whole work at r-sre. J. J. Froman. f Richmond, Va., moved that Mr. Hill's paper be published and nt to every commercial organization In the country. He declared it to be the strongest plea for deep waterways that the association could put forth. Rryan ftr Deep Rivers. Mr. Bryan showed only a trace of hoaraoneFs when he began speaking. His address was repeatedly interrupted by applause as he made some humorous touch or drove home an argument. In be ginning. Mr. Bryan related a few hu morous stories which caused much laughter. He then said: I am glad to meet with those who as semble here In th Interests f ths develop ment of the waterways of the country. I am in hearty sympathy with you. You cannot give the people to good facilities fr transportation of their merchandise. If yon te!l me you want to improve the Mls lrppl. I tell you that is all Hpyht. I will he'p you improve it Jnat as far as you pae and make the canal aa wide as you j-l-ace and as deep as you please, and. when you ret through Improving the Mls siseippl. will stArt out !1 alone if necessary tmptw e every river that empties Into the Mississippi. Rivers Kegulste Rate. Water transportation is the natural trans portation. God made the rivers; man made the rail roads The rivers were the means J bef ore the railroads were Invented and, while th ruilrvad has given us speed. It has not siven us the cheapness that the ; rivr gives. And speed is not the only j th'nc. The railroad cannot rival the water- j course In cheapness, and then there Is an other advantage that the watercourse has, When you AnUh a river sufficiently deep for commerce, or a canal upon which boats ran f ar. you make it possible for a man wth a smalt capital to act, while the rail r.iti'j roadie it possible for men with large repeal to a.'t- Where there is a river any man who tan build a boat can engage in irm importation and. If he cannot build a Kg boat, he can buiM a litt boat, and. if you have a large number of little boats, th b-g boat wlil have to meet the rate that the Unit r-at fixe. You will find it much eaeier to regula:e rates on water than on land becau competition tan be much more active in water than on land. At the afternoon seion GlfTortl Fin rhot. chairman of th? National Conser vation Commission, delivered sn addtess on "Waterways and Conservation Move ment." He saM: rtsriM om CvDservatlosu The conservation of natural resources hat often been taken to mean strap: y the pre entloa of waste, it does mean the saving of these resources whlcb. we are now en gaged in tisifig. but this definition is toe narrow. The conservation of natural re sources incluoa both the prevention of de struction and the prern:Kp of waste from no nu Conservation means development nut less than sarins. There are two forms of waste: one is such ss takes place in the dt ruction of forests or the waste of our soil from a Ulna. 1 net s w no DiTr exsmpie ot xnis few months hare caused the lose of tens of millions of dollsrs in property and many human Uvea Another illustration is found In the enormous loss of fertility which the farmer largely eutrers by the washing of his soil from his best fields Into the water courses to pollute their currents, closing their channel and entailing large ex penses for its removal. Waste sf Waxes power. The other form of wast Is far less spectacular, but no less real. When we allow the tens of millions of potential horsepower In our stream to go to waste for lack of use, we are breaking the law of conservation almost as fully as If the streams themselves were destroyed; when we allow the water power to flow unused we draw unnecessarily and wastefully upon our stores of coal and fuel oils to replace th power we waste by no n use. When we fail to use the rivers for navigation, we xnaJre huge and unnecessary drafts on our supply of Iron and coal. It is estimated that to transport freight by water requires less than one-half as much coal and iron as to transport It by rail. Unnecessary use is w&AtL When our coal and iron are gone. they will be gone forever. Waterpower will last as Ions as the sun gives us rain. Let us fix firmly In our minds that con serration means development as mucn It means prevention of waste. Conservation Is the common-sense use of all the resources of this great country of ours for the best use of our neople for all time, and It mean development just as insistently as It de mands the preservation of our resources and their efficient and economical use. Development of Waterways. The development of our Inland waterways Is an indispensable part of the conservation programme. The nrst great piece oi con struct i ve work under that programme waterway development. Conservation coming because for simple, obvious business reasons it Is the right thing. The same causes are bringing waterways development. It is as natural and inevitable that our waterways should be developed as that we should build railroads or telegraph lines o good roads, or should provide ourselves with any of the indispensable equipments of mo a ern nations. Not only Is waterways development com lng inevitably, .but it Is coming soon. I hope snd believe that the great waterway from the Lakes to the Gulf is coming first ox ail, so far as that term can be applied to an engineering work which must extend over a number of years. This association has done one of the most remarkable pieces of work in the public agitation of a great cause with which I have ever come in contact. But the great role In a great campaign was when It brought about tne Presidents trip down th Mississippi a year ago. From that time the real awakening of the whole country to waterway development may be fairly dated. How much the Administra tion's support of thin has done for It and for the whole Mississippi Valley, to which that movement Is vital, you know better than I. The President has been the one best asset for the cause of waterway devel opment ; for the Lakes-to-the-Gulf deep waterway and forestry and for the whole great policy of conservation. All Problems Are Related. These are not separate Questions. They rorra in reality out a sinsrle problem. They must succeed or fail together. Success will not foliow the segregation of any movement from the others. We have tried that and it has not given us the results we anticipated. was the habit of a certain great General to secret! ate the enemy s forces and beat him in detail. We have allowed the samo tactic to be used against us. But where all the organisations interested In any phase of conservation have gotten together, when each Is for all and all for each, when they stand, every one of them, for the great waterway through the greatest of all valleys and for all the good they are trying to do, then the great natural foresight policy will come into its own. And the first fruits of It will be yours. A. B. Wood, of Texas, chairman of the credentials committee, reported all credentials correct, and his report was adopted. Wittenberg: Represent Oregon. Herman ,Wittenberg. of Portland, Or., announced his solitary presence from the Western state, and hs was made member of all committees.

Resolutions adopted by the. conven tion commented upon the exceptionally strong arguments of Mr. Hill and Mr. Plnchot. A stockholders' meeting kept Mr. Hill from attending the convention snd his letter was read by Congressman Rainey. of Illinois. At the conclusion of Mr. Plnchot s speech a committee of six as appointed to co-operate with the chairman of the National Conservation Commission. Short speechee by delegates followed.

Republican Ice-PresMentlal nominee, in a rousing rally. At Marion a large number of railway employes came out of the shops to listen to a fire-minute talk on free trade. At the close somebody tn the crowd asked the candidate to shake hands, but another voice shouted: 'You'll get your hands dirty. Sunny Jim." It took the candidate about a second to climb down among the grimy work men and grasp their hands, dirt and 11, saying: "By George, it dofS ont make any dif ference how much dirt you boys have got on your hands as long as your hearts are II right."

Henry Watterson presided and was the prln cipal speaker at a Democratic rally In the Masonic Theater here tonight. As this was Mr. Watterson's first political speech since 1S92 and will probably be his only platform utterance during the political campaign, much interest was manifested. Ex-United States Senator William Lindsay and Congressman Shirley also, spoke. Mr. Watterson said in part: I truly rejoice that I have lived to look UDon a reunited Democracy.

The Republican carty. grown corrupt and arro gant. is putting forth a tremendous effort to retain the power which It has so much aDunea. it it succeeds it win never surren der it short of some dire calamity; some nay Its exit will be the signal for, maybe, a civil war.

If I were a Republican I would turn my back upon a candidate no matter how per aonauy accepiame. wno represents tne vic ious methods of ring rule and the steam roller. Whatever usefulness the Republican party ever possessed It has for the time outlived. It stands today a menace to eaual taxation and economic administration, if not to order ly government and free Institutions. We see all disguise of decency thrown aside; the black nag of Trust im run up to the masthead; the decks crowded with cor poration counsel. The occupant of the White House summons the unspeakable Hearst as his star witness. The honest rich are In voked to make common cause with the law leys .rich.

CONVICTED ON THIRD TRIAL Case Afralnst Prominent British Co lumbia Youth Hard Fought. VANCOUVER. B. C, Oct. 8. (Spe cial.) George A. Walkem, a proimnent youTip business man and a nephew of a former Premier of British Columbia. was tonight found guilty or supplying Miss Blanche Bond with medicine for criminal purpose. On a second charge, that of having counseled her to commit an operation. Judge Lamp- man, before whom the case was tried, declared that there was a doubt about "WalkenVs guilt, and he therefore ac quitted the prisoner. This was the third trial or the charges, which have created wide spread interest all over British Colum bia. The full Court of Appeals decided after the first trial that evidence re lating to an operation which took place n Seattle or Portland was not admlssi- able. because the crime, if any, occurred In a foreign country. The Attorney-General appealed this decision to the Privy Council at London and lost. A new trial was ordered. Th'.s was held three weeks ago before Judge Cane in Vancouver. The Judge had been a life-long friend of Walkem's family and the worry of the case caused him to fall ill. He died on the first day of his Illness. Tonight the third trial was completed. It has cost the provincial government 10.(0 to convict Walkem, and probably the bill of private costs against the ac cused will be as much. TValkem was re manded to Jail tonight and will be sen tenced tomorrow. Otympla Vait Extract good for grand ma or baby. Only Ja-100 of 1 per cent alcohol. Phones: Main 71. A US1.
