Candidates Address Deep
Water Way Convention In
Chicago.
(By Associated iress.J
CHICAGO, Oct. 8. The second
session of the Lake3-to-the-Gulf
Deep Water Way Association was at
tended today by asgreat and enthu
siastic an audience that listened to
W. H. Taft last evening. W. J.
Bryan was the magnet of the second
session and his appearance on the
platform and Introduction by David
R. Francis of St. Louis, was the sig
nal for a tumult that forced the
Democratic candidate to bow repeat
edly during ;he minutes before he
could begin his address. At the af
ternoon session, Gifford PInchot,
chairman of the National Conserva
tion Commission, delivered an ad
dress on "waterways and conserva
tion movement."
Taft Favors Movement.
W. H. Taft spoke on the opening
day and was warmly applauded.
W: H. Taft said the systematic im
provement of the water ways has
been too long neglected by the gov
ernment, "but the consideration of
their permanent and extensivo im
provement according to some general
and comprehensive plan so as to mold
them into a complete system of trans
portation has now forced itself upon
us with surprising suddeness." He
said the productiveness of the peo
ple outstripped the ability of the
great railroad systems to transport
them and that the only way to solve
the question would have to be re
course to the water ways. That the
cost of transportation by water is
one-sixth of that by rail would be a
great saving between the producer
and the consumer. "The achieve
ment of these great ends cannot,
however, be worked out through
congress without a radical departure
from the course of procedure hereto
fore employed. No projects should
be approved without the most careful
consideration of the feasibility and
usefulness. When the execution of
an approved project has once been
determined upon, it should be car
ried to completion as rapidly pos
sible so that the people's investment
may be made to bring returns at the
earliest possible moment."
PInchot Deplores Waste.
Mr. Plnchot's subject was "waste"
and he deplored the waste of the for
ests and the waste of the soil, and
the waste of the water power
through the lack of use, thus draw
ing "unnecessarily upon our stores
of coal and fuel oils to replace the
power we waste by non-use."
Bryan declared his hearty sym
pathy is with the deep water ways
movement and said ho would do his
utmost to help Improve the Missis
sippi and every river that empties
Into it. A railroad cannot equal the
water courses in cheapness and he

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8. While
comparatively few delegates were
present at the second day's session of
the Trans-Mississippi Convention,
when the congress called to order,
nearly evary one of the early arrivals
provided one or more resolutions and
the first hour was devoted to reading
and explaining matters on which it
was expected the congress will go on
record.
The resolutions introduced cover a
wide range of subjects including one
by Secretary Wastel, secretary of the
organization and of the Washington
Lumbermen's Association, urging an
amendment to the Interstate com
merce act authorizing the commis
sion to suspend and investigate ad
vances in freight rates upon tho

players in tho final game between

of a game full of ginger, team work

for the vantage points from which
to witness the contest began as soon
as the gates opened. Scores of po

many "scraps" for seats. At 1 o'clock
both teams began warming up and
tho gates to the grounds were clos

AR ROSEBURG
Lone Highwayman Robs Pas
sengers Within a Mile of
That Town Last Night.
REFUSES TO TAKE
MONEY FROM WOMEN;'
Gets Two Revolvers From Merc,
and Escapes Without Leav
ing Clue.
(Special to Tho Times.)
ROSEBURG, Ore., Oct. 8. Al
lone, masked highwayman held up
the stage from Myrtle Point within
a mile of Roseburg last night, and."
after taking about ?G0 in cash, some'
jewelry and other valuables, made
his getaway. Just beforo disappear
ing from the passengers whom ho?
had compelled to dismount andi
"shell out," he called to tho stage
driver to give bis "regards to Sher
iff Fenton." No clue has been found'
to the bandit.
The stago robber displayed all tho
chivalry of a plumed knight of cen
turies ago. As the stago rounded a
sharp curve In tho road where ho stoorl'
hidden by trees, ho stepped out ire
the roadway and ordered the drivers
to halt and dismount. Keeping:
them covered, ho called to tho eight
occupants of the stage to como out
side. They quickly complied al
though some of the women almost
fainted.
"Don't bo scared ladies," said the.
bandit, "I won't molest you." And
'he didn't. Ho ordered them to step
away a little to one side and did not
ask them to turn over their jewels"
or money.
Tho men quickly complied with his;
order to "shell out." As M. Plumb
and Harry McChesney turned over
their pocketbooks and change, tha
bandit noticed something in their
hip pockets and sharply ordored
them to como through "clean." As.
they emptied their hip pockets, his
eyes twinkled at the sight of two
loaded revolvers.
That the bandit did not niako a
greater haul was partly due to his
chivalry In tho treatment of the
women and also to the thoughtful
ness of John Hastings of Bridge..
Hastings heard tho robber's com
mand to tho drivers to "stop" andt
ho, at once, realized tho situations
Grabbing his pocketboolc containing"
about 800 in cash, ho dropped It to
tho bottom of tho stago and Mrs. J
Barnetto of San Francisco did llko
wlse with her wallet which contain
ed about $1,000 worth of diamonds
and jewelry.
