MIDDLE WEST CAN
CONTROL TRADE.
Can Dominate Commercial Life of West
Coast Of South America When
Panama Canal Is Completed.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept 9.-"The great
middle west will have control of the en-
tire west coast of South America when
the Panama canal is completed, provid-
ing the deep waterway from the lakes to
the gulf is constructed. Otherwise it
will be Japan, Germany and England
which will exercise commercial sway
over this vast empire to be opened up"
This statement was made yesterday
by John Barrett, director of the Inter
national Bureal of American Republics,
who has been in Chicago for several
days comforting with men interested in
the deep waterway proposition. 1t is his
contention that the federal government
should lend all the aid necessary for
the construction Of this ship canal to
make the great advantages of the Pana-
man canal available to the Mississippi
valley. Mr.. Barrett said:
1T is not excessive to estimate the
value Of products which the republics
will then be purchasing from foreign
countries at S500,000 900.
1.-The major portion of these supplies
Will come from America if the great
manufacturing centerS of the middle
west are provided with water transport
tatIon. 1t requires no stretch of imagi-t
nation TO conceive boats or barges loaded
IN Chicago, Joliet or other points in this
manufacturing district making the en-
tire trip. America has been slow to
improve its waterways, much more so
than any other of the great powers and
it is time we aWOke to the advantages
to be obtained

Mr.. Hartman is going back to his work

GENTRY CASE IS NEXT
CONSTANTINE TO FACE COURT ON
MURDER CHARGE.
Accused Man Caught in New York,
Months After Crime, When About
to Board Steamer for Italy.

CHICAGO, H., Sept. IL Special
A noted murder case is to come to
trial il this city next week, when on
Wednesday next Frank j. Constantine
will be arraigned in court to answer to
the charge Of having murdered Mrs. Ar
thur Gentry. The alleged murder oc-
CURED in the Gentry apartments in La
Sale street on January ), 1906. Mrs.
Gentry's body was found lying in the
hallway Of the apartment house with
her throat cut. She had staggered down
two flights of stairs, apparently IN an
effort to get to a doctors Office on the
ground floor. 1t was said at the time
Of the murder that Constantine, who had
boarded with the Gentry's, was seen
running down the back stairway Of the
house.
Although the police had a good de
scription Of the man every effort to find
him proved unavailing. 1t was more than
Il year later, on April , last, that he
was arrested under the name Of Pas
quale GelOrma. After much questioning
lie admitted his identity, but denied that
he was guilty of the murder Of Mrs.
Gentry The woman, he declared, com
nittcd suicide in his presence. Fearing
that he would be accused Of the crime,
he said he had fled from Chicago and for
a year had lodged about from place to
place. In the course of his Wandcrlngs
lie SAIL he had Travelled to Italy and
thence to South America. and on one
occasion had visited Chicago since his
first flight.
Constantine admitted that the deed
had been committed with his razor and
the police claim to have a sure case
against him. The only weak point, how
ever. appears to have been the lack of
motive for the crime Up to the present
this important feature has been missing,
but the states attorney. who will CON
duet the prosecution, now declares that
the motive has been discovered and that
the prosecution will be able to show
it beyond a doubt. Constantine who
is a young Italian of good appearance
had relatives in New York who are well
to do. and it is said that ample funds
are forthcoming for a vigorous defense.
