light on Mayor Busse's recent visit 20
Washington. He declared that u new
harbor and facilities for connecting
the railroads with the water were i'm
pcratively needed to sustain the gait
at which Chicago has grown. He re-
lated that Manchester had encounter
ed similar conditions after spending
SS5 600, 600 on a harbor. The drainage
canal has provided the link, adjacent
to which one industry has built e
plant covering llG acres and employ

the canal there has arisen the new
Clearing Argo district which is
similar to conditions in Manchester"
said Mr.. Hoyt King. "In that district
which is destined to become the
transfer point of enormous tonnage
from water to rail there are 5000
acres Of level land available and

N. Strobacker, well known merchant

nine poisoning and the condition of
his wife. Edith, becoming hourly more
serious, the police today are striving
TO explain the latest phase of the pois-
on mystery, how the drug was ad-
ininistered to Mrs. Strobacker while
i'm a cell at the police station.
II was ten hours after the woman's
arrest that she was seized with con
vulsions early today and the physi
cianssat the South Side hospital agree
that tho poison, could notNhave been
given to her before she was taken into
custody. Her condition became so
critical that 1t was necessary to, re-
move her to the hospital. where her
husband was taken Saturday after
noon.i An analysis of Jelly spread on
the bread in tho lunch Strobacker
took with him from home Saturday
is said by the Iphysicians today to
have contained sufficient strychnine
to kill twenty persons, and that an
overdose was all that has saved Stro-
backer's life.
