THE CANAL PROBLEM.
ONE MAN WOULD HAVE THE STATE BUILD
A FREIGHT RAILROAD.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: As great interest just now Is being taken In
the canal problem take the liberty 10 address you
10 state that believe true solution OF the same
is for the State build four track freight rail-
road on the present site of the canal. and allow
any person company corporation owning loco
motives or cars TO them on the road under
proper regulations. paying minimum charge per
mile lust sufficient cover cost of maintenance of
roadbed and interest on the investment In this
way you would have freight regulator that would
be permanent, and locomotive and small
eouipment of cars can be bought for what large
modern tug can. and run at much less expense. you
would find plenty OF engineers and fremen owning
their own locomotives and cars. and on account Of
competition operating them at minimum expense.
being their individual property and cared for with
the greatest of pains and combinations to raise and
maintain freight ates under these conditions would
be practically impossible. as there are so many
naoDIe having few thousand dollars which they
would like to invest maintain their manhood and
he I'm business for themselves. There would be
plenty OF competition Besides, equipment of this
character offers such exceptionally good security
and earning power, Intending purchasers would
have no trouble In acquiring the same. by giving
lien the locomotives and cars at a reasonable
rate OF interest JOHN A. ClARh-

at present. The hearing the measure held
by the Committee Judiciary. and the question

able iurists in the State. From several indications

opinIon prevailed yesterday that of a
fayora BILE report the measure was likely be

ont in the hearing that such law as the
restoration of the whipping post for brutal crimi-
mails of certain classes was necessary.
IN was argued that Connecticut is not unlike
Delaware where the whipping post is In
istence In it's geographical position-a small State
lying great cities and across which the great
tides of criminal classes flow. While there
opposition the plan TO include children under the
whipping law. several good arguments We're ad-
vanced whether wife beaters. tramps and
brutal criminals should be included. Several judges
of the police courts OF the State. notably Judge
Pearne, of Middetown, and Judge Goodwin. OF
Hartford. strongly urged that wife beaters be
treated to merciful application of the lash. we'll
as all criminals OF extraordinary brutality They
dealing with such classes proved TO them that this
the only method of dealing with such crimi-
nails. The measure is supported by Justice 5. E.
