MIDDLE WEST
That Section Should Get
Big Trade When Canal
Opens

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-"The great
Middle West will control the trade of
the entire West coast of South Amera-
ca when the Panama canal Is conn
/ pleted, providing the deep waterway
from the lakes to the gulf is corr
structed Otherwise it will be Japan.
Germany and England which will exer~
else commercial sway over this vast
empire to be opened up"
This statement was made yesterday
by John Barrett. director Of the Inter-
national Bureau of American RepubA
lies, who has been in Chicago for sew
eral days comforting with men inter-
ested in the deep waterway PROPOSE
ton. 1t is his contention that the fed
eral government should lend all thh
aid necessary for the construction OF
this ship canal to make the great adj
vantages of the Panama canal avaiIa-
BILE to the Mississ ppi valley. Mr.. Bar
rett said:
1T is not excessive to estimate thS
value of products which there repub-
lies will then be purchasing from for
eign countries at $500, 1000.
"The major portion OF these supplies
will come from America IL the great
manufacturing centers of the Middle
West are provided with water trans
portation. 1t requires no stretch Of the
imagination to conceive boats or
barges loaded In Chicago, Joliet on
other points in this manufacturing
district making the entire trip. Amerf-
ca has been slow to improve its water
ways, much more so than any other or
the great powers, and it is time we
awoke to the advantages TO be OBJ
tanned"

MAY
BACK Lands
Believed He Will Insist
That Alton Prosecution
Be Pushed

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-That President
Roosevelt may intervene in the inn
eral Bonaparte and Judge K. NJ. Ian
dis over the immunity tangle in the
Chicago and Alton rebate case is now
firmly believed, as the indications
point to his active participation in the
court complications for the purpose of
bringing harmony between the fed
eral officials and ending the present
tense situation.
The desire of Judge Lands to push
charges against the road, which re-
suited in the $29,24O,OOO fine against
the Standard Oil company, and the de-
termination of Attorney General Bona
parte to insist upon immunity for the
road present one of the most serious
government clashes in years. The
president is known to have kept in
close touch with the situation, and it
was declared today in government cir
cles that he will take the opportunity
of the hurried visit of District Attor-
ney Sims East to find solution to the
perplexing problem.
Sims in Delicate Position.
The delicate position of Mr.. Sims,
who must obey the orders of the court
as well as the instructions of his SUI
perior in the department of justice,
has been presented to the president,
as well as the sudden and mysterious
action of the Chicago prosecutor in Sc
curing three weeks stay of the grand
jury session.
1t is believed by government officials |
that final decision will be reached to .
let the grand jury probe proceed, and !
even go as far as to bring an indict- !
ment against the road In the mean
time the Standard Oil case will reach
the appellate court and the govern
ment win be in position to compel
the railroad to keep its agreement to
the end Of the case as an aid to the
federal attorneys or the immunity
promise will be declared violated.
This is believed to be the view of
Mr.. Sims, and President Roosevelt /
could easily convince Attorney General |
Bonaparte Of the wisdom of the course,
which would also avoid even the SEM
olance of a clash with Judge Lands.

THAW PLANS A TRIP.
Accused Murderer of Stanford White
 Confident as to Outcome.

Accused Murderer of Stanford White Confident as to Outcome. NEW YORK. April S.-When the Thaw murder trial was resumed to- day, Mir. Jerome continued his argu- ment against confirmation of the hl- macy commission report, and Justice Fitzgerald noted his objection.
 Thursday of the present week prob ably will see the end of the famous trial of Harry K. Thaw for the mur- der of Stanford White. which already has gained the distinction of being one of the most protracted criminal trials on record. Twelve weeks have elapsed since the case first was called.
 Dr. Hamilton will be asked to testi- fy as to his opinion of Thaw's mental condition at the time of the killing of White.
 Dr. Hamilton has already testified that he believes Thaw was insane on the night of the killing. He will be asked to testify to this fact again. The calling of Dr. Hamilton is regarded as a wise move on the part of the de- fense. The other witnesses to follow Dr. Hamilton are of minor importance and will simply be questioned regard ing certain apparent discrepancies in the testimony of previous witnesses called by the prosecution and the de- fense.
 Immediately following the examina. tion of the witnesses Mir. Delmas will make the summing up speech for the defense. He is expected to speak the greater part of two days.
 A verdict is looked for Thursday un- less the jury should fail to agree.
 Thaw. it is said, is planning a trip to South Africa at the close of the trial.
