MIAMI. Fla, November 2s-The frns
portance and desirability Of deepening
the Hudson river to permit deep-sea
craft to ply between New York and ALI
bany. distance of $50 miles, was em<
phasized by Gov. Charles S. Whitman
OF New York, in an address before the
Atlantic Deeper Waterways Associa-
ton convention here today. Gov. Whit
man said the amount of foreign CONS
merce which annually passed through
Albany by rail on its way to and from
western points exceeded fourteen mill
lion tons. and that upon the completion
OF the new barge canal combined rail
and water facilities would more than
double this tonnage.
IF some OF this foreign commerce
could be Intercepted and transferred
before reaching New York." he said, 1T
would permit that port to handle more

merce necessary to feed, clothe and

Gov. Whitman reviewed the history
OF canal construction and developments
In tho Empire state. These canals, he
| said, have hoated 323.000.oo0 tons Of
freight Their construction. maints-
nance and operation have cost the state
many millions Of dollars, and they have
| returned millions of dollars to the
state treasury In tolls collected.
Benefits to All.
Not only In the lower freight
| charges. but also in respect to time
saved in transportation. the completed
canal system will be Of benefit to ship
pers and consumers. the governor said.
The saving in time Of transit is an
! economic advantage which should mot
be overlooked in these times. when dis

said Mr.. Whitman. From two to i've

ANARCHY AND VIOLENCE
REPORTED IN HARDIN

BY WILLIAM r. GILES.

Cablegram to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright. 1917.
PEKING. China, November 2s.-Dis-
order and violence are raging In Har-
bin. Monday night the leading hotel in
the city was the scene OF robbery with
violence, robbers and soldiers shooting
and tearing rings from the fingers OF
the people In the dining room. The
same evening soldiers with fixed bayo-
nets attacked another hotel, forcing the
American guests to appeal to the
American consul for aid. On the main
street the Reuter- correspondent and an
American citizen, a MI. Thornton, were
forced at the point Of revolvers to hold
up their hands while they were robbed
of everything they possessed.
Women Robbed Of Fur Coats.
Even women were attacked and rob-
bed of their fur coats and boots. Com
plete anarchy reigned. One party OF
1000 soldiers waited outside the off,
GERS club and when the men came out
held them up, the leader of the mob
saying: Heretofore you have had
riches and prosperity, now it is our
turn and we Will divide all you have
among ourselves. Henceforth officers
and men must be alike. There is no
difference between oftcerS and soldiers,
rich and poor"
Last week Harbin's consular body re-
quested the Picking legations to grant
them permission to call on the Japanese
to take over the protection OF the lives
of the foreigners.
