VELoP WATERWAYS ALONG
CANADIAN BOUNDARY.
OCEAN TRAFFIC FOR THE GREAT
LAKES PORTS.
Would Deepen the Channels and
Locks So That Ocean-Goine Yes
sells Could Dock at Detroit
and Chicago.

Without a dissenting vote the senate
adopted the resolution, introduced by
Senator Townsend of Michigan, for
the cooperation of Canada and the
United States in the development of
such boundary waters as the Great
Lakes and the st. Lawrence river. The
resolution authorizes the president of
the United States to enter into nego-
tiations with Great Britain looking to
comprehensive scheme of co-opera-
ton in widening and deepening the
waterways.
1t is Senator Townsends idea to
change Detroit, Chicago and all the
other Great Lakes ports into ocean
ports. He proposes to do this by deep
ening the channels and locks of wa
terways connecting the lakes and the
Atlantic ocean to such an extent that
they can carry ocean vessels. The
senator has been assured by engineers
that the scheme Is feasible, and that
eventually the improvement would
prove to be very wise one from the
commercial standpoint.

FOOD BANNED BY MOSAIC LAW
Rigid Rules, strlckly Adhered To,
Asserted by Jews 10 Be Con.
6Ucive to Longevity.

No nation possess so many laws
relating to the consumption Of food
as do the Jews. Shakespeare makes
Shylock say: Il will buy with You
sell with you, walk with you. and so
following but will not eat with you.
drink with you. nor pray with you,
and the trait OF being very particular
as TO what food they eat is still char
acterlsic of the present day Jews.
The large number of these Mosaic
laws with regard to the eating of food
is somewhat unconventional and dis
concerning to modern Hebrews, but
more than 80 per cent. of the children
OF Israel still stringently adhere to
all the dietary laws that Moses ever
made
Animals not slain by a ritual slaugh-
terer, called a shochat, must not be
eaten by Jews; neither are animals
without parted hoofs or cloven feet,
or who do not chew the cud, consumed
as food by Jews. The pig is not eaten
by them because II does not conform
with all the above essentials.
Only fish with scales and fms are
permitted to be eaten, according to
the law OF Moses. Hence oysters.
crabs, shrimps and Holsters are not
eaten by Jews.
II Is very peculiar to note that a
Jew must not partake of milk or any
thing possessing the essence of milk
until four hours have elapsed after
eating meat or anything connected
with neat. e., meat pies, sausages,
etc. This law. as written in the Old
Testament. is very different, for Exc
dus 23:19 says: Thou shalt not
seethe kid In his mothers milk; "
but the Jewish tradition has ordained
that the mixing OF meat and milk
should be prohibited.
Only a very few birds. amongst
which is the dove. are allowed for
Jewish food.
Eminent modern physicians have
corroborated the boast OF the Jews
that they are very healthy because
OF their dietary laws.

TWO KILLED IN

MICHIGAN CENTRAL SUFFERS
TWO ACCIDENTS ON

Second Wreck More Serious Than
First When Two Passenger Trains
Meet In Head-On Collision
on High Bridge.

Two wrecks on the Michigan Cen
trail railroad Sunday, both near Jack
son, re suited in two deaths, the injury
OF dozen persons and the shaking up
OF half hundred persons. One train
was derailed when the tender left the
track and two fast passenger trains
met head-on in the center of high
bridge over the Grand river two miles
north of the city. That more were
not killed in the latter crash is con.
sidered nothing short of a miracle.
The first wreck occurred half a mile
west of Francisco about o'clock Sun
day morning, and Engineer James S.
Martin, of Detroit was killed. He
was buried beneath his engine and 1t
was with difficulty that his body was
released.
His fireman, Cyalton e. Cole, OF
Jackson, was terribly scalded by es-
Gaping steam and will probably die.
The second wreck occurred at 10: 30
=. m. on the bridge over the Grand
river, when trains 1O5 and 6S came
together on a curve. Both engines
were reduced to scrap iron.
No. 105 was bound for Grand Rapids,
while No. 8 was arriving from Sagi-
nav. The Saginaw train abs reach

The Grand Rapids train rounded the

air, plunging into the river, and the
impact of the collision was plainly
heard in the city.

CROP CONDITIONS IN
WESTERN CANADA
ARE THE MOST PROMISING FOR
MANY YEARS.

The deepest interest Is attached to
the condition OF the grain crops in
Western Canada, especially among
who are financially interested In lands
in that country. This interest is fully
as great among those who have
friends there following farming and
the growing of grain.
The reports from Canadian govern
ment officials convey the information
that the area under crop this year In
the provinces of Manitoba. Saskatche-
wan and Alberta will probably be no
greater than that OF last year. Last
fall the weather was such that there
was not as much fall blowing as had
been hoped for. The getting ready OF
land this spring made a considerable
portion OF the grain late in seeding.
Notwithstanding this, wheat, oats.
barley and fax were got in in good
shape, although from a week to ten
days later than last year. On the
9th OF June the reports regarding
crop conditions generally In Western
Canada were: Abundant sunshine
with timely and copious rain through
out Western Canada gives every as
surance of generous harvest. Climatic
conditions in recent weeks have been
absolutely ideal. Western correspon-
dents agree in predicting every indi-
cation Of bumper crop under favor
able conditions. Wheat should be
headed out In Manitoba between July
10th and 18th, and in Saskatchewan
and Alberta from 18th to 18th. The
oat crop is looking well, although late
and rather short in straw"
This is followed by a report July
5th Crop conditions continue in
same satisfactory condition as last
week. Plenteous rains have fallen all
over prairie provinces, followed by
general warm and splendid growing
weather. Experts agree sufficient
moisture for many weeks, while crop
is ten to fifteen days late. prospects
are extremely favorable and condi-
tional upon reasonable weather for
next four weeks. Splendid western
crop Is assured"
There is, therefore, the best reason
to anticipate most magnificent crops
throughout Western Canada in 1913

CORPORATION COURT.
Grand Jury Empaneled TO Consider
Criminal Cases And Persons Who
Have Not Paid Licenses.

The Corporation Court for this
city, Judge Louis c. Barley, presid-
ing. convened this morning The
June term is always an important
one. as the regular grand jury is en-
raneled for consideration of the
criminal cases pending. There were
three felony cases TO be presented to
the grand jury which was summoned
on Friday last.
In addition To considering the felony
cases the grand jury looked into the
matter Of non-payment of license. II
appears that an unusually large num-
Der of merchants have been lax in
this regard this year, and it has been
necessary to resort to this measure to
enforce payment. Few indictments
are expected, for the 3elinquents have
had week since notice of the grana
iury's session was given and many
have paid the license taxes over due.
A number of important civil suits are
expected to come up for trial at this
term.
The grand jury returned the fci-
lowing:
Com. VS.. James Johnson, colored,
malicious assault. True bill.
Albert Steward, colored, malicious
assault. True bill.
Edward ThompkinS, colored, petit
larceny, third offense. True bill.
Johnson plead guilty and was sent
enced to serve two years in the per,
itentiary. Steward and Thomplii.'s
also plead guilty and were each sent"
cnced to serve one year. They will
be placed on the roads.
Presentments were returned agalns;
several AlexanCrians who have failed
to pay their license taxes. The Cora
monwealth's Attorney will give TIC
delinquents a few days in which t.
settle with the state. Should they
fail to do so within the given time
action will be taken against each.
