I THE INTER OCEAN, lUTIIlSDAY SrORNINO, SEPTEMBER 18, LEVEL OF LAKES MAY BE RAISED Government Investigating Plan of Maintaining Depth. MARINE MEN PLEASED Great Dam May Be Built in Lake Erie. Kew Jfavlsratlesi Coatpaay Cait'Uu-Crtla Frelarats -Less Marlae Nates. Tb sorerament's determination to In-'Testlgate a feasible plan of maintaining, it not to lift, the present level of the great lakes has caused a great deal of comment in marina circles of this city and haa mronsed great enthusiasm at all other ports, ana progress ox me. movement wj watched with igreat interest.

Congress has made financial provision for the undertaking, and it is understood that the experts who will carry on the investigation will be appointed at an early date. The question of the practicability of such a plan is not altogether new, but it appears that former experiments along those Unea bare never been carried far enough, because 1 only until very recently there has been ample depth of water at various ports and through the rivers and channels connecting them. During tne last lew years, nowever, veSselmen say lake levels have dropped at an alarming rate, and the point is now reached where much fear is expressed for the future of commerce. The condition becomes more noticeable, marine interests contend, sino the tendency of shipbuilding is toward the larger and deeper draft craft. Experts claim that Lake Michigan has shown great shrinkage, and old sailors bear out this statement in noting great reces-.

alon at water levels under -water twenty years ago that are now high and dry on the beach; hence it is apparent that some remedy must be discovered to master the condition. Some have claimed that the drainage canal is largely to blame for the recent low mater in utie Micnigan, Kiinougotatmeera of the latter scout the theory. It is understood, however, to be part of the government's plan to Investigate this particular condition. Many plans and suggestions are offered as reparatives. The one most talked by practical marine men and engineers is that of building- a dam at some Doint upon the lower waters of the lakes, likely Lake near Niagara.

Prominent engineers who have given the problem some study take the ground that It may be practical to erect such a dam, and that the water could be raised fully three feet in Lake Erie thereby, effect, of such an elevation, it Is held, would be felt in Lake Huron, but la lesser degree, the water being raised perhaps two feet. It la not obvious how such a plan would materially benefit Lake Michigan, and this point Is causing much discussion. Some claim that the tatter's level will be raised a foot by such an undertaking, although experts are VMM. Marine Interests fear that the government will be many years in getting down to actual work of relieving the condition of low water, for the project will cost many millions. It is argued that the saving made by elimination of the necessity of dredging harbors and rivers, for which the government lays out large sums every year, would be vast and in time would greatly offset the original Marine -interests maintain that something must be done or the next decade will see a revolution in the great inland waterways and their commerce.

Fair Demand for Grata Boats. Grain freights were less active yesTerday and rates to Lake Erie were unchanged. Vecselmen say there is plenty of business, but shippers are slow about sending It forward. Tonnage seeking loads seems to be taken care of on a basis of lVs cents for corn and 1 cents for wheat. Some business was reported having been done for the last of the month, although the rate could not be learned.

Charters reported outside of the lines were: To Buffalo Uganda, wheat. To Georgia Bay M. T. Green and J. H.

Mead, corn. Fleam Sbevr Ssrvlna ef Tesaace. Recent reports that shipments of lumber through the Boo eanal to Sept. 1 exceeded for the same period last year by feet proved one of the greatest surprises ef the seaaon. The early opening of navigation this year as aga'nst a late opening the previous- year Is in a large measure responsible for the showing.

The fact that one barge of each tow enrolled In the Lumber Carriers' association has been tied to the docks for a large part of the seaaon makes the statement, which is nevertheless true, more- difficult to be reconciled. Ftem these figures it Is shown, however, that there most be a surplus of tonnage. JSew Lake a ad Oceaa LI a Projected. The Canadian Lake and Ocean Navigation company is the title of a new enterprise designed to enter the grain trade of the great lakes. According to advices from Toronto, Canada, this company has purchased five large steamers, three of which are to be put on the upper lakes to engage In this fall's gra'n trade.

The other two boats will probably be retained in the coastwise trade and brought to the lakes next season. The new company is said to be a close corporation, with a capital of 960.000. EL E. Ames is president snd J. H.

Plumer and Colonel Pellatt vice presidents. William Peterson, the well-known English skipper, who Intends moving to Canada, is said to be slated for manager. Milwaukee and Chicago harbors have. It is said, been investigated as to depth of water and facilities for dockage, etc. Six Jfew Boats to Be Balli.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, Sept. 17. One of the most Important additions to the lake fleets in rears a iy be the result of an order placed today with the American Shipbuilding company by J. Gilchrist.

Theft mt Wmtcla siaal Xsaey Vbsirarea Aeeaier Enforces Fortaae Telt- er's Klat with Ax. After the church had refused to act as arbitrator, black magic had failed, and the intercession of fellow-countrymen had been unavailing, one of the much-criticised Justice courts cf Chicago was called upon to settle he dispute of Alexander Poplowskl and Tony Schwicki. Both men. were formerly Lithuanians and until recently lived in harmony at S337Moss-pratt street. Now they are involved in a bewildering snarl of charges of larceny, per.

fury, attempted murder, arson, and a few morel The combined efforts of several attorneys and a score of witnesses failed to clear the altnation before Justice WolS yesterday, and the hearing was continued until Sept. 27. The trouble started when Poplowskl' accused Schwicki of stealing his gold watch and $100 in cash. The accused man denied this strenuously, and was so agitated that he started Immediately for advice, leaving $30 of his own money on the table of the house in Mosspratt street. and his faction assert that this display or absent-mindedness is convincing proof ot guilt.

The money was gone wfeen the accused man returned, and Poplowskl says this waa a Judgment from above. Schwicki does not attribute the disappearance ot the money to such mystic agencies. Priest Rcfaaea to Mediate. One of the disputants, mindful if the customs in their European home, proposed that they leave the question of guilt to their parish prieo. So they visited the Rev.

Matthew Krawctunas of St. George's Roman Catholic church (Lithuanian), at Thirty-Third and Auburn streets. The rrler declared that such questions were not in his Jurisdiction and refused to decide between them. Poplowskl then announced that Schwicki must accompany him to a fortune teller. The fortune teller had no scrnples about acting as arbitrator, and as Poplowskl bad proposed the visit, he paid the fee.

Schwicki was still bewailing be loss of $30. snd refused to contribute. aTie decision waa against him. The soothsayer refused to read the signs sgaln unless paid a larger fe. and Schwicki repudiated the affair and refused to accept the decision.

Poplowskl is said to have attempted to enforce the decree of the soothsayer by means of an ax. Schwicki says that his agility was all that saved him. Beth Swear Oat Warraata, Justice Wolff issued a warrant on Poplow-ski's complaint, and Schwicki was arrested by Constable Breen. charged) with larceny of the watch and $100. He Imraed'ately took out warrants for Poplowski's arrest, charging him with attempted murder and several other offenses.

He declared to Constable Deegan, who served the warrants, that Poplowskl was wsnted for arson in Iowa aad bad been songht by the police for several years. A report of this was made to the police. Yesterday afternoon In Justice Wolff's court Schwicki wss discharged from the chsrge of stealing the watch- and in spite ot the tact that the soothrayer had declared him guilty, and the signs of perturbation he had displayed when first accused. The hearing of Poplowskl on the ax accusation will take place next week. SUES FOR $34,900 INSURANCE.

NEW STREET TO STOCK YARDS. Alder, ax Hart Proposes st Korthera Oatlet for Packers.

He proposes to connect Packers' avenue through a private roadway with Iron street, which opens a way from the ncrth gate ot the stock yards at Thirty-Ninth street to Thirty-Fifth.

A new point Is to be raised by Attorney Charles H. Soelke la his effort to rave William J. Gallagher, ths convicted Jury briber, from the penitentiary. He will argue it before Judge Brentano today in connection with motion for an arrest ot Judgment. Under the act under which Gallagher waa sentenced to the penitentiary the atate board of pardons is given Judicial power, according to Attorney Soelke, which the Governor of the state alone, he maintains, -can exercise.

Judicial power of the state board of pardons, claims Mr. Soelke, is given them by a state law, while the same power is vetted In the Governor by the state constitution. He claims that since' the power was gives the Governor by the constitution It cannot be taken away from htm by a state law, and therefore the act under which the state board of pardons uses Judicial power ia unconstitutional.

Farmers' Co-operative Eirhtigt Company Looks for Beaeflelal Resalts. Farmers' Rational Co-operative Exchange company, a recently organized concern, la when it gets into full swing, not only to put more money into the pockets of the producer with less cost to the consumer, but also to create some radical changes in the operations of the produce and grain markets. Members of the organization will have scats on the board of Instead of selling options, however, the actual grain will be bought and sold, and they will insist that those they deal with adopt the same methods. The prime object of the organization is to help the farmer by making him help himself. Instesd of rushing produce to market Just after harvest, the members cf the concern are expected to hold onto their products, selling only small quantities at a time.

This will tend to keep prices at a normal level the year round. By the operation of the exchange company It is expected that msny middlemen wlU be cut off, and the produce will be delivered almost direct to the consumer, thus reducing the cost.
