.kIEL CANAL

Probable Result Of War Should
Allies Win, According 10 Lord

RAzE KRUppS PLANT?
Britain Also Plans TO Destroy Ger,

GUM Rewarded
RAzE KRUPPS PLANT?

Leeds, Sept. 2S.-Lord Charles Ber-
esford, in addressing a mass meeting
for the purpose Of stimulating recruit
ing here, said:
THE Kiel Canal must be handed
over to Denmark, so it will be useful
for the peaceful pursuits Of the
world"
The remark has caused widespread
comment and has become part OF
the discussion OF the probable results
of the war if the allies should win.
When the Kiel canal was opened in
1895 the emperor OF Germany, with
representatives OF the leading Euro
pean powers as his guests, said: Ger
many will range the work inaugurated
today on the side Of those accomplish
ed in the service of peace" II was re-
garded as significant that upon the
enlargement of the canal last June, the
occasion was not one OF international
celebration, although Emperor William
man warships through the canal
which now figures so extensively in
the naval operations as a magnificent
refuge for the German fleet.
Doubles Strength of Fleet.
German strateglsts insist that the
Kiel canal doubles the power of the
German fleet as it gives another en-
trance from the North Sea to the Bal
tic and forces an enemy to scatter its
strength i'm order to bottle up the Ger
man warships. Eight enormous sidings
have been provided within the enlarg-
ed canal in which ships may pass.
These are so great they are said To be
capable of sheltering all the ships Of
the German navy.
English strategsts assert that the
value of the canal has been discounted
considerably by the development of
the present war; and declare that it
has, if anything, rendered the German
fleet more immobile than ii might 9TH
erwise have been.
Would Raze krupp Plant.
II was Lord Beresford's contention
that Denmark would never be safe so
long as Germany held this important
waterway across the Danish peninsu-
la. and he hoped to see the day when
it, together with Schleswig Holstein
would be restored to Denmark.
Enumerating other obligations which
he said would fall upon the allies i'll
they defeated Germany, he said the
first duty would be to Belgium, which
would have to be amply rewarded for
the wrongs il had suffered. He said
he would then have the great Krupps
plant destroyed and all German forts
razed."

SINGLED OUT
STRIKE LEADERS

That D. p. Slaughter and
Thomas Reilly were regarded as
leaders of the strike at Ruston
and were therefore especially
singled out and watched, was the
testimony of George Fletcher, one
of the Ruston deputies, called as
witness in the case against the
two above men, and Steve Sutich,
charged with unlawful assem-
blage.
Today was the second day of
the trial, and the defense did not
take up the case until noon. 1t
will probably go to the jury to-
night.
None of the witnesses corrob-
Grated the story of Mayor Pratt
of Ruston in regard to an alleged
remark of Steve Sutich concern
ing the getting of guns" They
all said that they had never, or
scarcely ever, heard Sutich speak
English.

In the case of Mrs. Minnie Bond

brought in a verdict completely
generating Senator Gore.
The jury found that the evil

1.-THE verdict confirms my faith

comment of Senator Gore.
When the foreman read the ver-
dict finding for the defendant the
courtroom burst into a pandemon-

noise. He seemed pleased him

After the demonstration had
lasted 10 minutes the judge left

ROWLAND TELLS ABOUT
THE BIG DEALS

Z He said the legislature of 1909
had appropriated 100000 for a
temple of justice but the capitol
commission under Hay proceeded
to spend $S51,000 and the last
legislature came up with build
ing partly done and deficit of
$551,000 facing It.
The republican-democratic COM
bine put through bill to raise
this by taxation. The progress
sives and three or four democrats
voted against it and Governor Lis
ter finally vetoed It..
Then the republican-democra-
tic combine put through bill to
sell $4,000, 600 of bonds to build
a whole group of capitol build
ings, just because a contractor on
the ground wanted the job. The
progressives opposed 1t but II
went through and the governor
signed 1t. The only thing that
saved the people was the supreme
court, which knocked 1t out be-
cause 1t was unconstitutional.

The crowd surged around the
blind senator and grasped his
hand in congratulation. Mrs.
Cores arms were about his neck
and she was weeping and almost
historical from joy.
An hour after the verdict had
been recorded a telegram came
from President Wilson to the SEN
ator saying:
"Heartiest congratulations"
Senator Gore was swamped to-
day with congratulatory tele-
grams. Mrs. Bond is on the verge
of nervous collapse. The jury was
out five minutes last evening be-
fore returning with a verdict for
Gore. Gore has not decided yet
whether to prosecute his accusers
on charges of conspiracy against
him. 1t was learned that II he
decided to prosecute 1t would be
at Washington under the federal
conspiracy law.

that he was addicted to the use

After the discovery of the body,
DR.. Calhoun, superintendent of
the asylum, hurried to the cabin
and made a cursory examination.
The man had apparently been
dead since last evening. A trail
of blood led from a bench ON one
side of the cabin to the armchair
where the body lay. DIR. Calhoun
said today that IL would have been
possible for the man to have
walked this distance and draw the
quilt up over him after slashjng
