The project for a deep waterway no.
tween the lakes and the Gulf of Mex
leo is being revived by an association
formed to push the scheme. 1.-THE pro-
posed deep waterway is to extend from
the Chicago drainage canal through
the valleys of the Desplaines and ILL
nols rivers to the Mississippi river at
Grafton, ILL.,. and thence down the Mis-
slssippi to st. Louis, and is to have
a minimum depth OF fourteen feet
throughout. According to estimates
based upon recent surveys, the work
remaining to be done to complete the
deep waterway to St. Louis will cost
$3l,OOO.OOO." While this is no dream
OF Missionaries, but something that will
some day be realized. there are other
projects of far greater importance to
engage the attention of the general
government, those that will benefit
larger area of the United States. The
reclamation of the arid lands of the
far west is of vaster importance than
this deep waterway canal. 1t would
seem as though the government had
its hands full at present in deep water
way projects in the Panama canal

IN recent address on the Enforce
ment of the law in large Cities Judge
kavanaugh said the United States
is the most criminal country in the
world. and the jury system the most
loose and antlquated. During the last
five years $4,000 persons were muir
dered in the United States. More per
sons were murdered last year than
oled OF typhoid fever. From figures
and crime statistics ii was shown thar
while England and Wales had only
5l' murders last year, the United
States had $3.50. This is certainly a
severe arraignment of our courts and
methods OF dealing with criminals and
a reflection upon the greatest of Oh ris.
tan nations If there is a remedy for
the existing state of affairs if should
be found and applied.

Evidently there is a growing need of
more railroad lines between Chicago
and New York, or more rolling stock,
at least, to move the immense amount
of freight which accumulates at the
former place from the west. ]. J. Hill
was a witness before the interstate
commerce hearing in Minneapolis last
week, and upon being asked if it was
the policy of his road to delay freight
for any reason. said it was not, and
in further reply, said: III the con-
Meeting roads would move freight fast
err We could do a great deal better.
The fact that traffic is sometimes con-
gested on our line is simply the fault
of the immense amount of accumulat-
ed business. Other lines are more op-
en- to criticism than the Great North
ern. In Chicago a few days ago
took special pains to make inquiries
about traffic, and could not get a sim
gle line which would agree to move
100000 tons Of freight to New York
before December. The Great North
ern can right along handle ali bust
ness received from the east promptly.
The congestion comes in traffic from
the west"

ASKS AMERICAN AID
Man Who k Conducting . Stike in Ontario Asks Aid From Chicago
 Labor Leaders
ORDERED TO LEAVE COUNTRY

Chicago, Nov 26.-The United States government has been asked to furnish protection for a labor leader engaged in conducting a strike in an- other country.
 The appeal came yesterday from Frederick Fay, who is leading the street car strike in Hamilton, Ont. After the serious riots last Saturday night in Hamilton, in which many persons were injured, the Canadian authorities ordered Fay to leave the country at once. Fay declined to go and instead sent telegram to Chi cago asking for aid.
 The message was received by Presi- dent William D. Mahon, head of the Street Car Mems union in this coun- try, who immediately sent the fol- lowing reply:
 Demand protection of United States consul at Hamilton and stay where you are."
 Mir Mahon last night said efforts would be made to-day to have the matter taken up at Washington and an international question made of the situation, which is without paral- Tel so far as known.
 , It is said Fay will be instructed to insist on his rights as citizen of the United States. The chief of police of Hamilton and Sheriff Middleton, 1t is said, both have served notice on the strike leader that twenty-four hours will be given him to slip over the Canadian border into this country. If the order is met with refusal the authorities threaten to throw Fay into jail.
 Mir Mahon himself will leave to- night for Hamilton, and 1t is said thus will place himself practically in the same position as Fay. since he is the head of the street car mems or ganization. Before he leaves Chi cago Mahon will confer with Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, respecting the international rights of labor leader.

Report Circulated That the 500 Will
Build Car Shops In Minot.
Axxociated Press to The Evening Times.
Minot. Oct. 1.-An unofficial report
is circulated among the railroad cir
cles that the 500 road will build ex-
tensive car shops in Minot.
No word to this effect has been re-
ceived at the local offices of the 500,
but railroad men who profess to know
the situation say that the shops will
be erected in this city.
The main shops of the road are To-
Gated at Shroham. MINI. There are
small repair shops at Harvey and a
branch at Kenmare. 1t is probable
that the proposed shops in Minot will
take the place of the shops at Ken
mare and Harvey and that this city
will be made the division on the road
Should the 500 build line from
Bismarck to Minot, as has been pro-
posed, the erection of shops in Minot
would be the logical outcome.
1t is also announced that the road
will begin work on a new depot in Mi
not next spring. Officials of the line
sometime ago promised that new
depot would be erected here, and it
is definitely announced tina work will
begin in the spring.

FRIENDS OF IRELAND.
Associated Pres. to The Evening r,,n.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 1.-Friends
OF the Irish cause, hundreds in num-
Der. are gathered here from all parts
OF the United States and Canada to
attend the third national convention II
the United Irish League of America,
which will hold it's sessions during
the next two days. The deliberations
OF the convention will be of unusual
Importance, in view of the certainty
that measure of lf-government for
Ireland will be introduced in the
British parliament next spring, and 1t
is believed that the attitude of the
friends of Ireland on this side of the
Atlantic. as it will be declared at the
convention. will have very powerful
influence in shaping the provisions of
the measure OF national seli-govern-
ment. AS a preliminary to the con-
vention a great mass meeting has
been arranged for the Academy of
Music tonight in honor of T. P.
O'Connor, NJ. P. and Edward Blake,
NJ. p, the delegates to the convention
from the Irish national party in the
British parliament. Governor Penny
packer is to preside at the meeting
and the speakers will include Mayor
Weaver. Messrs. OConnor, Blake and
others of note
