States in Union Hears
• Ambassador
FRANCE'S BIG ASSET
Jusserand Declares That
Forests and Navigation
Are Inseparable
WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.— With every
elate in the union as well as Alaska
• and Hawaii represented, and with the
bttMld object of promoting the improve
ment cf Inland waterways, the National
. rivers and harbors congress began a
three days* convention here today. Del
egates from subsidiary organizations,
from trade associations and civic
bodies, all seeking expiessions of their
Views on th^ national poJlcy regarding
the work of providing navigable
streams and deep water hai-bors to ac
commodate the shipping Interests of
*4« country and of the world, mingled
•fcSstl the individual delegates and
formed part of the gathering that
crowded the banquet hall of the New
Willard hotel, where the meetings are
Ucing held. Nearly C.OOO delegates, rep
( resenting every state in the union, were
present.
It is not expected that any delinite
o: concrete action in premotion of the
projects advocated by the .congress
wfll be taken, but it is hoped that the
work of t!ie convention will so impress
the national congress, now in session,
fis to induceuit to make adequate ap
propriations for the improvement of
i-liP rivers and harbors of the country.
1\ is the desire of the delegates to
secure such action by the congress of
the United States as will promote the
trade and commerce of America, It Is
not a special project that the conven- I
r!on has izi view, but the adoption of a!
policy by the government looking to j
the extension of the transportation •
facilities of the UnSt.^ States. i

\u25a0Resident Ransd^l presented a re
port of th* work of the congress dur- I
ing the past, few months. Then he in
troduced M. Jusserand, the ambassador
of France to the United States.
arssEnAVD ox caxals
"XTe hoM the record for the present."
ssii Ambassador Jusserand; ".you will
oH it in your turn when th»» great
Panama canal is finished, of which we
Jrned the first sod. Tou -^ 111 turn the
3spt and no one will applaud more
-.cartily than your predecessors."
The ambassador reviewed tb«? history
of the efforts mad*» by France in the
improvement of waterways and the re
sultant benefits to commerce. He said
that the greatest era of eajial build
ing in France is the present. The aim.
. 1-.n added, is to have throughout France
free canals, as they have free roads.
"Owing to the recent great effort!
luad* by the republic," said the ambas- I
leader, "the total length of our canals is
4.675 kilometers; the total expense has
beea about 2.000.000,000 francs, and far
from considering that it has been too
much, we know quite well that it is
•not enough and we added new sums
- from time to time to this great asset.
'Canals in France are under the su
pervision of the government. From
1575 to 1900 the traffic increased 112
•• p»*r cent, and it now amounts to over
•20,000,000 tons. The Investment is val
. uable because of what it yields t>r what
it helps. It also prevents the railroad
from raising their tariffs too high. As
eocn as the companies raised their '
.tariffs shippers found that their goods
could well afford to travel at a slower
and cheaper pace and took the water
.route. Our canals act, in a way, as a
Vlnd of rate bill, a self-regulating one."
Jusserand then took up the forestry
question, saying:
IOHESTS A>D WAyiGATIOX
."It Is an absolute principle— no 1 for
osts. no waterways. Without forests
regulating the distribution of waters
rainfalls are at once hurried to the
«ea. hurried sometimes also across
country. After having devastated the
neighboring fields the rivers find them
selves again with little water and
much sand, and with such riven?, how
:will: will you feed your canals in all sea
cons?
"Since our forests suffered damage
\u25a0 which we are now bent upon repairing
at considerable pains and costs, a river
\u25a0 Jlke the Loire has been entirely trans
..formed; it used to be the best of water
ways and It is now the riv^r whose ln
•- undations are most destructive. The
question is aa clear as can be, 'Do you
• want to have navigable rivers or do
you prefer to have torrents that will
destroy your crops and never Jiear a
boat?" If you prefer the firsff then :
mind your forests. We can tell you,
for w« know."
• Chairman Kna^p of the Interstate
commerce commission said that uo man
could afford to keep silence when a
crisis WBs presented, and he believed
that such crisis is now presented. The
transportation Interests of America,
exceeding 4,000,000 tons every day,
were increasing daily. Unless this
traffic is able to be carried, he in
quired, what possible use is there to
produce It? He pointed out that it
was beyond the power of railroads to
increase their facilities in the imme
diate future.
CIRNEOIW SEXDS REGRETS
A letter of 'regret was read from
Andrew Carnegie. Its salient , point
\u25a0ua.s this: "Instead of spending money

PARDEE OX ROOSEVELT
Former Governor George C. Pardee
of California said that It was his for
tune to conduct through California
"one of the greatest men living on this
earth" (referring to President Roose
veH). He said that in the course" of
that trip he often was Impressed^with
the idea that the Improvement \u25a0of the
rivers and harbors of the country
really began in the mountains.
"My mind," said he, "turned to the
million and a quarter square miles of
lard in the Mississippi valley, threat
ened every year with incalculable dam
age by floods, and I often wondered
whether the people realized that the
improvement of their waterways should
begin 5n the mountains."
President Ransdell of the congress
then introduced John Rarrett. director
of the bureau of American republics,
who delivered an address on the "Wa
terways of Other Americas." He
called attention to the fact that the
republics of Central and South America
were spending more money on .the Im
provement of rivers and harbors. In
proportion to their population and abil
ity, than th« United States.

provement of the Columbia river.
Newlands Would Set Aside
$50,000,000 for Waterways
Introduces Tentative Bill With
View to Develop Criticism
WASHINGTON. Dec, 4— Senator New
lands of Nevada Introduced today a bill
providing for an inland waterway com
mission and for the Improvement and
development of Inland waterways by
an appropriation of $50,000,000 to an
inland waterway fund and providing
that whenever the fund is reduced by
expenditures below $20,000,000 the pres
ident may make up the deficiency by
issue of bonds.
The commission is to be co-ordinate
with the army engineering corps, the
reclamation and forestry services, the
bureau of soils, of corporations and
other branches of the public service
related to waterways. Senator New
land in his address said:
"Transportation does not heed. state
lines any more than disease heeds state
lines. The present system of financial
legislation is paralyzed by lack of uni
formitj". It Is our purftose to standard
ize the methods of transportation •in
order that we may unionize the senti
ment of • the country In favor of the
largest exercise of the powers of the
people of the country." '
Senator Newlands is vice chairman of
the inland waterways commission, of
which Representative Burton Is chair
man. He presented this bill tentatively,
he said, with a view to developing crit
icism and suggestion which- will be
usefulto the commission in making its
recommendations to the president.
Senator Bacon introduced a -bill pro
viding a survey to determine the prac
ticability of building a canal to con
nect the navigable x-aters-of the Mis
sissippi valley with the navigable
waters of the state of Georgia. The
canal projected, he said, would be
about 100 miles long and ! would con
nect the Mississippi river \u25a0 with ' the
Atlantic ocean.

AOKI ASKED RECALL IS
STATEMENT OF OFFICIAL
Takahira, Former Envoy to
Washington, Slated for
Successor
TOKrO. Dec. 4.— The recall of Vis
count Aoki, Japanese ambassador at
Washington, is the result -of his own
expression of a desire- to resign, and
no official announcement Is expected
until after his arrival. in Tokyo. It is
now regarded as a foregone conclusion
"that Ambassador Aoki will not return
to Washington.
The question of his probablo succes
eor. in the event his resignation is ac
cepted, has been long under discussion.
The names mentioned in this connec
tion Include Baron Kaneko, formerly
special envoy to the United States:
Baron Chinda, vice minister of the for
eign office, and M. Takahira, at present
Japanese, ambassador to Italy and for
merly minister of Japan at-Washing
ton. It is now understood that Taka
hira Is first choice. Neither Baron
Chinda nor Baron Kaneko can be
spared, so Takahira will undoubtedly
be appointed if he is acceptable at
Washington.
The Associated . Press Is assured by
the .highest authority .in the. foreign
office that the recall of. Viscount Aoki.is
not intended as a reflection upon his
course, but a possible change at Wash
ington h3S long been imminent.
Neither should the present action be
construed to denote the. . slightest
change in the friendly-. attitude of the
Japanese government toward America
on the immigration question. In the
course of an interview today this au
thority said: • -
"It is. quite possible that Viscount
Aokl may not return to Washington.
In the event of his resignation the gov
ernment of Japan will 'appoint to the
position a person. well known in Amer
ica, whom the president 'knows and
likes and who bas the confidence of ths
American people.
"The Japanese government is mak
ing every effort to meet the wishes of
the president and: the- people •of Amer
ica on the Immlgratlonquestion. and in
appointing a foreign" minister realizes
the importance of having a ; representa
tive iff Washington 'who is not only ac
ceptable and friendly -to the people, but i
Is acquainted with the'prevailing con
ditions in America." " j.A
A special dispatch from Washington
to the Mainichidempo ;_ says . that the i
American public Is Inclined to think
that the recal of Aokl is "due to the de
termination on the part:of Foreign Min
ister Hayashi to pursue> a policy which
will be antagonistic to America. j i
The official above quoted assured the
Associated Press representative that
such a construction was:eritirely : erro
neous. On the contrary, the^immigra
tion question, he said. Is. now nearer a
friendly solution than ever before. Min
ister Hayashr.is determined to exercise
all the "authority vested in the foreign
minister to control the emigrtion of la
borers/ . "
"We are anxious," said this- official,
"to avoid, any secrlflce of our/ treaty
rights with America -and Canada,- but
we can and will control the emigration
to either country." "','\u25a0 .

STRICKEN WEEKS AGO
Thanksgiving Dinner Eaten
After Hunting Trip
Brings Illness
NEW YORK, Dec. 4. — Henry Osborne
Havemeyer, president ;of the American
sugar refining company, died today at
his country home, Merrivale stock
farm, at Commack, L.. 1., -of heart fail
ure, following an attack of acute indi
gestion on Thanksgiving day..
From the first the patient's heart was
affected and his condition- was critical.
Resort to the use of oxygento prolong
life was had a few hours before the
end this afternoon. When death came
Mrs. Havemeyer, her son Horace and
her daughter Electra and Dr. "L. C.
Frisbell were at the bedsid/*. The
change for the worse%canic early today
and from then, on an automobile was
kept* either standing in front of the
lodge door. or making flying trips to the
village, whence tanks: of oxygen were
carried to the lodge. This .evening the
body was brought on a special train to
this city, where it was removed to the
Havemeyer town residence.
The. president of the \socaHsd sugar
trust went to Commack- last
day with his wife to spend Thanksgiv
ing gunning on his private preserves.
He arose early Thursday and spent
nearly the entire day tramping around
the country after game. Late in the
day he returned to thelodge and ate a
hearty dinner. Shortly afterward he
was seized with violent pains and Dr.
W. 'H. Ross, who was, summoned, said
that he was suffering from acute indi
gestion. Several physicians from this
city were called in attendance the next
day and remained constantly at tlv* pa
tient's house. At no time during his
Illness was Havemeyer's condition such
as to give his family much hope.
His estate is said to amount to many
millions of dollars. "He was considered
one of the wealthiest men in New York.
His widow and four children survive
him.

banks and trust companies in various
parts of the country.

represent, will at any • wage do the
work done by the Asiatics. The memo

racial and national standards, which
strain threatens the subversion of thos*

the millions of European immigrants.
