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.

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

Water transportation is the natural trans

while th ruilrvad has given us speed. It
has not siven us the cheapness that the ;

course In cheapness, and then there Is an
other advantage that the watercourse has,
When you AnUh a river sufficiently deep

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:

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

There are two forms of waste: one is

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

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

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.

First Speech of Campaign.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 8. 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:

a Democratic camp during what proved a

I behold now an almost exact reproduction
mt the evil conditions of 50 years ago. The

It stands today a menace to eaual taxation

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
