President Oppose Issuing Bonds for
$500,000,000 to Be Apportioned.
Starts Down Mississippi to
Waterway Convention.
ST. LOT18. Oct. 25. President Taft and
Speaker Cannon apparently hold the
same beliefs regarding waterway. Im
provement a a part of a National policy
of conserving the streams. The Speaker
indorsed the Presidents attitude today
on the bond Issue to pay for the im
provement. While Mr. Taft's utterances were not
so far-reaching regarding the creation of
the H-foot channel as those of President
Roosvelt on a similar occasion, and
therefore not entirely cheering to the ad
vocates of an immediate commencement,
of the work yet the Speakers indorse
ment gave those same advocates encour
ag?ment. The general good wa the lest
whir-h the President prescribed for the
undertaking of ambitious works.
Karli Project on Merits.
Iet us tnke up each project on Its
merits." he said, "and determine by all
means at our command whether the
country In which that project Is to be
carried out Is so far developed as to
Justify the expenditure or a large sum of
money, and whether the project will be
useful when done."
"When you have determined that on
the general principle of good to the en
tire country, then I am In favor of doing
that work as rapidly as It can be done,
and I am In favor of issuing bonds to do
it."
Safe and Sound, Says Cannon.
Referring, to this sentiment, which was
uttered In a meeting at the St. Louis
Coliseum at noon, the Speaker, address
ing the gathering at the dedication of
the new Federal building in East St.
Louis today, said:
It is a safe and sound outlining of a
proper poller for us to pursue in this
great Middle West.. We have Improved the
Mississippi In the past, and we will be do
ing so year from now, when we shall need
oar water courses. In this generation we
win do our part wisely. We will not
throw money into rivers to be washed
into the sea. We shall do that first
which needs doing most."
He indorsed the levee system, congratu
lating St ' Louis ' and Its neighboring
towns on the completion of the river
barriers, the dedication of which formed
part of the day's celebration. He pre
dicted that the Mississippi yet would be
permanently confined to its banks
throughout its length, and urged that
the states adjoining the stream share the
joost with the National Government.
Vice-President Sherman. Cabinet mem
bers. Curled States Senators and Rep
resentatives and Ministers from foreign
governments listened to the speeches at
both meetings. Added to these were
state and municipal officials of all degrees
and close to 100,000 citisens.
Tonight the President, the Speaker, the
diplomats, legislators and several hun
dred representatives of commercial or
ganisations of numerous states are
speeding down the Mississippi River
aboard a flotilla of paddle-wheel steam
ers bound for New Orleans. There they
will assemble with hundreds of others In
the annual convention of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf
Deep Waterway Association, the
pet project of which Is the creation of a
permanent 14-foot channel from " the
mouth of the Illinois River to the Gulf of
Mexico.
Long Cheering for Roosevelt.
The President arrived here at 7:27 A.
M.. and was the guest of the Commercial
Club at breakfast. He was Introduced at
the Coliseum by Governor Hadley. His
voice was very husky, but he managed to
make himself heard throughout the hall.
The President found a quick response
from his audience when he began by
saying:
"We are on the eve of a great Journey
down the Mississippi River, and cursed
be he who calls it a. Junket. The jour
ney, as Governor Hadley has said, has
reference to the problem of transporta
tion and railways and. waterways. It is.
however, only a part of a still greater
movement inaugurated by Theodore
Roosevelt and properly called by him the
conservation of our natural resources."
The mention of Mr. Roosevelt's name
evoked prolonged cheering. The Presi
dent went Into a brief d2scription of the
subject of conservation, and said the peo
ple of the Mississippi Valley were par
ticularly Interested In the Improvement
of inland waterways and the preserva
tion of the forests as a means of putting
an end to the floods which were carrying
so many of the farms in Missouri, Iowa
and other states down to the delta of the
Mississippi.
The President said the Government
of the United States had been exceedingly
generous in parting with 'its lands in the
past, and that the time had come for the
adoption of a new policy. He spoke of

OREGONION NEWS BUREAU. "Wash
ington. Oct. 25. If -Congress authorizes
a $10,000,000 bond issue to facilitate the
construction of Government Irrigation
projects, and neglects to specify the
manner in which the $10,000,000 shall be
apportioned, there will be a lively scram
ble among Western Senators and Repre
sentatives to procure large slices of the
money for their respective states.
Failure of Coi.gress to apportion this
fund would thrust the responsibility of
apportionment upon the shoulders of
Secretary Balllnger. and between the
time the legislation passed and the time
when the last dollar should be dis
tributed Mr. Balllnger would be one 04
the most sought-after men in Wash

would be a burden Indeed.
Bond Issue Not Assured.
It is by no means certain that Con
gress will authorize the issuance of
$10,000,000 worth of Irrigation bonds.

BURGLAR MAY BE WOMAN
Frank Gelser's Home Invaded and
Glove Found Apparel Piled.
. A burglar, believed) to be a woman, .In
vaded the home of Frank Geiser, at 70
Ella street, last night, and stole small
articles of jewelry valued at $100. In the
center of one of the rooms a collection of
articles used In women's dress was found,
as If the burglar had been scared away.
Miss Cora Lockgart, who is in charge
of the house, returned about 11 o'olock,
and it is thought her arrival scared the
burglar away.
Entrance was gained to the dwelling
by opening the transom and, with the aid
of a stick, the lock was turned from the
Inside. The transom was broken and
evidently the intruder scratched her
h"d, as blood was found on the door.
Patrolman Martine, 'who was called
soon after, found a woman's glove on the
back porch. Mies Lockgart declared it
belonged to no occupant of the house, and
this strengthened the belief that the bur
glar was a woman. The Geiser home Is
located next door to the residence of
Councilman Lombard. The Gel sera are
absent from the city.
GIRL BOUND AND GAGGED
Two Slen Tie Miss L. Dolan and

by two roughly dressed men early last
night. They surprised her as she was
walking about the lawn of the home ot

gagged her and left her on the lawn.

than an hour and was discovered by her

unable to give an accurate description of
her assailants.

Dolan's assailants. She was uninjured
and Patrolman Porter, who was assigned
to the case, is at a loss to, account for
the strange act. The Dolans are well
known in the neighborhood in which they
live and bear excellent reputations.

Prince Hirobuml Ito was perhaps the

achievement with which his name has

Occidentals was the framing of the im

Japan took her place for the first, time in
the rank of modern civilized states.
As the Emperor's trusted adviser and
the medium through which the state was
