PLANS TO REVIVE CANAL.
National Rivers and Harbors Associ-
alton Takes Up the Project {
Meetings Are Planned.

Officers of the National Rivers and
Harbors Association are back of
plans to revive the northern Indiana
canal project and public meetings
will probably be held IN South Bend
Elkhart and Michigan City.
The proposed canal extends from
Michigan City to Toledo, a distance
of two hunderd miles, ard would
form a continuous waterway from
Lake Michigan to Lake Erie. Those
behind the plans admit hal the cost
OF construction would be very large,
but il is pointed cut that a:d from
the government the states Of Indi-
n and Ohio and from lake shippers
and other boat owners, the canal
might be built. The project is said
to appeal to boatmen, because it
would be open for navigation most of
the year, while the upper lakes are
frozen over four or five months.
S. A. Thompson, of Richmond, Ind
field secretary of the National Rivers
and Harbors Association, is now in
northern Indiana endeavoring to
awaken interest in the canal project.
He will address a public meeting at
Elkhart the latter part of the month
and will speak in South Bend and
Michigan City in either December or
January.

A Wonderful Work.

The international convention at To
ronto representing the Young Mems
Christian Association of North Ar
erica had 1900 representatives, in
Guiding leading business men from
the United States and Canada. In
addition to the lay delegates we're
secretaries representing associations
with a combined membership of more
than a half million young men The Y.
NJ. c. A. has prevent its adaptability
as an agency among varied classes,
such as commercial men in the cities,
college men, industrial workers on
railroads and In the mines and shops,
street railway employees, lumbermen
in the northern woods and employees
in the canal zone. The newest task
the association has set itself to is in
behalf of the thousands Of immi-
grants coming to Americas shores.
Last year a million people were add
ed to the population of the United
States by immigration. The Y. NJ. C.
A., through its secretaries located at
the principal ports of departure IN
Europe, is able to follow these men
from the time they leave home until
they are finally settled in work in
this country. The conviction on the
part of the association leaders is that
much can be done towards assisting
these men and ensure their develop
ment into good citizens. They can
be turned from a national menace to
a national blessing. The North Amer
lean Y. M. c. A., has not only done
its work among the immigrant class
es, but a successful work is being
done among negroes, Indians in the
west and among the seven hundred
Chinese leaders who are studying in
America. The methods employed
seem to suit all classes of men. Furth-
ermore the association is now a world
wide movement, established in more
than thirty countries. AT Toronto a
strong appeal was made for the send
ing during the next year of fifty
more secretaries to non-C Christian
countries. In addition to this on a pro
gram of expansion involving the
erection of fcrty-nine nor buildings
in ten of these countries, already
more than a million dollars has been
pledged in the past few weeks. While
the wonderful work of the associa-
ton is being carried on all about us
it is lamentable that a city with the
population, thrift andwealth of Mum
Gle has not an association of its own.
Its need here are manifest on every
band and it is to be hoped that with
in a very short time steps will be tax
en- to erect and equip a modern Y.
I'M. G. A. building and organize an &C
tive association in this city. Muncie

Many Prominent Names Mixed in

Washington ID. c. Nov. 9.-The

ciated with the beef industry in Chi
cago for a couple CT generations will
be called out in a criminal court in
the Windy City some day next JAN
nary. The month, but not the day.
has been fixed. Then will be placed
under way a giant struggle in which
the best resources of the government
will be used to settle the question
whether there is a beef packers trust
and. if so, whether. any of the multi
m~illionaires who control it can be
made acquainted with prison work
and other routine
With unlimited cash at hand, the
barons will have the brightest lights
in the law business in court to con-
vince the solemn judge and frowning
jury that there is no trust or if there
is one, that the eminent defendants
have done nothing that would justify
their hanishment to Leavenworth.
A contest over technicalities will
mark the opening of the battle and
long and weary days may pass before
the actual trial of the barons is be-
gun. Motions to quash and demur-
rers 10 indictment will be offered and
are likely to be subjects of long con
sideration.
Indictments were returned against
the packers last summer after an i'm
vestigation conducted. by Assistant
Attorney Sims, of Chicago. The best
men in the bureau of investigation
of the Department of Justice probed
the affairs of the alleged trust and
produced a mass of evidence that,
in the opinion of the highest law Of
icers Of the government, justified
criminal proceedings. Kenyon and
Sims will conduct the case on behalf
of the government. National interest
will center in the case for the reason
that the men on trial will be the
biggest, in wealth and influence, that
have been attacked in any trust hunt.
Several years ago a number of the
packers were indicted but they es-
capped trial by claiming and receiving
an immunity bath. Their lawyers
argued that they had given full IN
formation regarding their business to
James X. Garfield, who as commits
sioner of corporations, made an In
vestigation of the "Big Four in the
packing business, and that informa-
tion could not be used in a prosecu-
ton Of the packers in court. The
claim was in accordance with law
and the charges against the accused
men were dismissed.
