GIVE ALL POSSIBLE HELP
VIII Stand Behind Tier of Northern
Mississippi Valley States Urging
Such Project-New Workers
Oppose Project.

New Orleans. - Efforts of New
York interests which, In their desire
to maintain the monopoly they have
had on American commerce in the
past are opposing the proposed open
ing of a navigable channel from the
Great Lakes down the st. Lawrenc
river to the Atlantic seaboard, need
look to New Orleans for no assistance.
ION the contrary, New Orleans will
stand behind the tier OF Northern
Mississippi valley states urging such
project, and will do all 1t can to
help them"
This, in effect is the determination
Of the New Orleans Association of
Commerce and Walter Parker, it's gen.
eral manager. is now on his way to
Detroit to tell it to the world in an
address to the Great Lakes-St. Law
renee Tidewater Congress.
The tide watercongress is the or
ganization representing the Northern
Mississippi valley states and portion
OF Canada which are pressing the
Great Lakes to-the-Atlantic waterway
project.
Shortly before he received his invi-
tation to address the congress Mr.
Parker received from New York inter
ests a letter in which 1t was pointed
out there was a movement on foot to
put such a project through. The let
ter explained that this was contrary
to New Orleans interests, and invited
against it.
The reply to the letter was that
New Orleans is for the project IL the
communities affected want to see 1t
put through and if it is feasible. New
Orleans, for 25 years, Mr.. Parker stat
ed has been preaching the doctrine
of economic freedom, contending that
every section has a right to develop
ment. and to those things that will
safeguard 1t against domination by
any other section, and that will open
to 1t the opportunity to use whatever
economic outlets and inlets 1t can
build up.
New Orleans is working hard to
solve its economic problems, to put
itself in position to handle the COM
merce it believes belongs to it, and
for this purpose is being aided by 26
Mississippi valley states. it Is pointed
out It would be untrue to the prin-
ciples for which it has contended
many years, it is maintained, If New
Orleans did not reciprocate and lend
to the northern tier Of valley states
every assistance possible In solving
any problems they desire to solve.
AS for possibilities Of New Orleans
losing some of its commerce through
any opening of a waterway from the
Great Lakes to the Atlantic, the AS
sociation of Commerce takes the posi-.
ton that New Orleans is willing to
stand on it's own feet, and to depend
on its own economic advantages to
maintain it's commerce. Besides, it is
held. in the interests of Mississippi
valley commerce as a whole. on which
not only New Orleans but every other
center is largely dependent

Reserve Board Reports
Boom in Business Is a
Matter of Dollars and
Not of Increased Output
Labor Prone to HOLIDAYS
Reaction Believed To Be
Due as Buying Power
Gradually is Curtailed

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-General
anxiety prevails throughout American
business concerning the continued ad-
vance in prices and readjustment a5,-
pears imminent, the Federal Reserve
Board reported tonight in it's review
OF December business conditions.
Through the boards statement the in
ference was strongly given that a re-
duction in prices is due because of q
recognized curtailment of buying power
coupled with lack Of unanimity of
opinion as to what the future holds.
While retail trade shows great ac-
tivity, and wholesalers and manufac-
turers were represented as being un-
able to supply the demand, the great
growth in business was shown to have
been in terms of dollars and not in
units of production. High wages for
labor further complicated the situation
according to the boards view. Prac-
tically every Federal Reserve distric.
reported that "skilled labor was work
ing only sufficient days to keep going
resulting in consequent falling off in
production.
Check Placed on Credits
In face of heavy demands, cautious
manufacturers were described as dis
inclined to commit themselves far in
advance. Credits have been shortened
and uncertainty as to changes which
may come within the next three months
is forestalling the expansion in trade
naturally to be expected as the nation
gets back more nearly to its peace
time activity. The high cost of living
was referred to as an "unquestionable
menace"
The board noted that real estate
values in hundreds of communities
seem to have reached the peak, or at
least the rise has been checked This
was said to be particularly true of the
Chicago district. With the stoppage in
the rise of real estate vaIues building
operations are expected to be stimu-
lated.
The housing situation was said to
have reached a critical stage in the
territory west of the Mississippi River,
resulting in an increase in rents Be-
lief was expressed that the combina-

After lengthy examination Sheriff
Caldwell reiterated his belief that Mrs.

man, but stated she would be held
temporarily owing to her apparent in
innate knowledge OF Browns affairs.
In spite of the sheritf's statement,
Mrs. Vester was arraigned in the JUS
tice Court late to-day She pleaded not
guilty, and demanded an examination,
which was set for Saturday morning.
Mrs. Vester stated she was with
Brown when his VIII was drawn up
Thanksgiving Day. Brown told her
add a codicil providing that if he died
suddenly payments should be withheld
until circum stances OF his death were
cleared up
Brown lived in constant fear. Mrs
Vester declared, but explained that he
expected an attempt upon his life by
poisoning rather than other means. She
said that she had formed a theory as
to who killed Brown from reading the
newspapers, but had no evidence, and
added that she knew men who might
have killed him for his money if / told
them to-but l didn't tell any one"
Mrs. Nester stuck to her Original
story. that she was in Battle Creek

of the murder. Frequently she used
the expression, ''Well. | did not kls

word a."
