. NEW YORK CANALS

 

Governor Roosevelt Appoints
Investigating Commission.

WILL REPORT TO NEXT LEGISLATURI

Before Formulating a. Plan Fol
Canal Management the Governor
Desires the Opinion of Experts
to Help Solve the Problem.

ALBANY, March 9.—Governor Roose
velt has ordered an investigation for
the purpose of formulating a definite
canal policy for the state. He has des-
ignated Major T. W. Symonds of Buffa-
lo, Hon. John N. Scatcherd of Buffalo,
Hon. G. E. Greene of Binghamton, Hon
Frank S. Witherbee ,of New York city
and General Francis V. Greene of New
York city to assist State Engineer and
Surveyor Bond and State Superintend-
ent of Public Works Partridge to in-
vestigate this subject and submit to
him a report, which will form the basis
of recommendations to the next legisla-
ture, with a view of finally disposing of
the canal question. ‘

An appropriation providing for the
expenses of this work will be made in
the annual supply bill.

The governor in selecting the gentle-
men to serve with the state engineer
and superintendent of public works has
considered the various subjects which
the investigation will comprehend and
will act accordingly. The appointees
include representatives of the civil en-
gineering profession, of traffic inter-
ests and of business life. The governor
does not speak of the appointees as
constituting a “commission,” but rath-
er as an advisory board to the state
engineer and superintendent of public
works. The subject to be investigated
is one of extensive proportions, and the
field of inquiry has been unlimited by
the governor. It will include whether
the present improvement plan, which
has been suspended, providing for the
deepening of the Erie and Oswego ca-
nals to nine feet and the Champlain
canal to seven feet, should be carried
to completion and the cost of the same,
whether a barge canal should be con-
structed from Albany to Oswego and
the western section of the Erie closed
and whether it is wisest to turn the
canals over to the national government
for a ship waterway and to what ex-
tent the railroads have taken the place
of the canals. This line of inquiry is
best expressed in the following letter,
which was yesterday sent by the gov-
ernor to each of the five gentlemen ap—
pointed:

”My Dear Sir-—I am very desirous of
seeing the canal policy of the state defi-
nitely formulated. As you know, the
$9,000,000 designed to deepen the canals
to the depth of nine feet has been prac-
tically expended, and it is reported that
$16,000,000 additional will be needed to
carry this scheme through, while. at the
same time, certain experts have said
that the scheme, when carried through,
will not be satisfactory. In short, there
is much conflict of opinion as to what
policy should be followed with reference
to the canals and even as to the proper
terminus of the canal on the lakes.

“I desire the opinion of a body of ex-

perts, who shall include in their num—
her not merely high class engineers, but
men of business and especiallymen who
how? made a study of the problems of
transportation, who know the relative
advantages and disadvantages of ship
canals. barge canals and ordinary shal-
low canals, who are acquainted with the
history of canal transportation as af-
fected bythe competition of railroads
and who have the knowledge that will
enable us to profit by the experience of
other countries in these matters. I have
decided to ask five of" the citizens of
New York whose reputation stands
highest in this respect to act with the
superintendent of public works, Colonel
Partridge. and the state engineer and
surveyor, Mr. Bond, to make the neces-
sary investigations (and where necessa-
ry to call in the aid of special experts)
to enable them‘ to report to me at as
early a day as convenient the proper
course we should follow as regards this
vital interest of the state of New York.
I desire very much that you serve on
this committee.
I “Last year the questions which arose
affecting the canals were really twofold
in character—namely, those affecting
the actual administration of the canals
and those, affecting the general canal
scheme for the state.

“As regards the former, the questions
are now well on their way to solution.
Three of the best qualified lawyers in
the state have been retained to investi-
gate and press home any charge of cor-
ruption against any canal official which
in their judgment can be sustained, and
Colonel Partridge is so administering
the office of superintendent of public
works as to guarantee the honest, effi-
cient and economical management of
the canals as they now are.

”The broad question of the proper
policy which the state should pursue in
canal matters remains unsolved, and I
ask you to help me reach the proper'so-
lution.”

To Open a Mineral and Tilnber Belt.

MILWAUKEE, March 9.—A special
to The Wisconsin from Menominee.
Mich., says: “A. M. Blom, who has re-
turned from New York, is associated
with eastern capitalists in the purchase
of 20,000 acres of mineral and timber
lands in Hougthton, Kewenaw, Baraga
and Marquette counties for a considera-
tion of over $700,000. A corporation is
to be organized with a capital stock of
Prospectors are at work to
have the copper mines located, and cap-
italists will build railroads from Rock-
,land, Mich, to Kewenaw Point, travers-
ing these lands. By this a new timber
and mineral belt will be opened up.
The work of building the railroad and
sinking the mines is to be begun in the
: :iring.”

POSTMASTER'S SAFE STOLEN'

Thieves Pushed It Up the Street amt4
Blew It Open.

NEW YORK, March 9.—Whi1e George
A. Koch, postmaster of VVoodmere, it
Queens borough, slept in the back par]
of his drug store Tuesday night robbers
rolled out a 600 pound safe that was
standing in the front part of the store
took it away and rifled it of its con-
tents.

Early yesterday morning the ‘wreckec'
safe was found standing in front of the
Methodist parsonage, 300 yards from the
store. Here it had been rolled by the
robbers, but in what manner it is diffi-
cult to tell, for the safe is large and
unwieldy.

The safe was recognized as belonging
to the postmaster. who is also the drug-
gist of the village. He was awakened
and went to the. scene. -

He found that the door had been
blown open with dynamite and that $10!:
worth of postage stamps and $50 in
money had been stolen.

After the robbery the thieves made
their escape, and there is no clew to
their whereabouts or to their number.

Mr. Koch declares that he heard noth-
ing during the night and‘ is at a loss to
know how the robbers contrived to get
the safe out of the store without awak-
ening him. He sleeps in the rear por-
tion of the store, and there is only a
thin wall separating the front from the
back rooms. .

It is regarded as strange that the ex-
plosion was not heard, but ‘the Metho-
dist pastor in front of whose house the
work was done says he heard nothing.

Once before robbers made an attempt
to! steal Mr. Koch’s safe, but they were
frightened away just as they were get-
ting it through the doorway.

A Shipyard Combine.

CLEVELAND, March 9.—The pro-
moters of the shipyard combine, it is
stated, secured options on nearly every
shipyard on the great lakes. The own-
ers of the plants selling out to the trust
have agreed- to take 50 per cent of the
amount to be paid for their plants in
the stock. The Cleveland Shipbuilding
company, however, has declined to ac-
cept the price offered for its plant. The
promoters of the combine say that they
will eventually reach an agreement
with the latter concern by which it will
be brought in. It is understood to be
the intention to close down a number
of the smaller shipyards permanently
as soon as the new company is organiz-
ed, while the big plants will be enlarged
and improved.

General Henry’s Position.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, March 9.—
General Guy V. Henry, military gov-
ernor, whose. attention was called yes-
terday to an interview published in a
local American paper representing him
as having said that civil government is
now a necessity in Porto Rico, denied
that this expressed his views of the
case, explaining at the same time, as
cabled the other day, that the question
was one for the consideration of the
colonial commission now here and that
if the commission should find that Por-
to Rico is capable of self government
and no longer in need of military con-
trol he would feel great personal grati—
fication and that his arduous labors as
military governor were°well rewarded.

Ruined by a ~Rattle.

SWeden was ruined by a single battle.
It was the battle of Pulto-wa, in. 1709.
In this battle Peter the: Great of Bus-
sia defeated Charles XII. of Sweden.
Sweden, under the Great Gustavus, had
risen to the position of a. first-class Eu-
ropean power, while Russia was just
emerging out of obscurity. Charles
XII., by his marvelous victories, seemed
on the way to make Sweden one of the
greatest of the powers. The crushing
blow that was dealt at Pultowa ruined-
Sweden. At the battle of Jena, in 1806.
Napoleon crushed the kingdom of Prus»
sia. The battles of Sadowa and Sedan
practically crushed France and Ana-
tria—Cincinnati Enquirer.
