mony, shedding more light on the
"shoot it to other banks" policy as

Mr.. Murphy-At the time the Scam

thus, l think in your report to the Su-
preme Court, o indicated, and 1
think testified yesterday, that a sub

A. 1t might have been, I had MOTH
ing to do with the details of that
part.
Officers Handled 1t

tails Of distributing this to the other
banks? A. The officers of the Bank
those that were in charge Of the work
there, they were ordered to take cut

by the Observation-Disclosures Bank
for that amount.
j. From these various other
banks? A. Yes, sir.
O. And who were the officers of
the Bank, Mr.. Lofthus, who had d.
rect charge of distributing this paper

credit, who were the persons? A.
{! We'll, 7 don't know which one, there
was Hagan, and there was Sherman,
and l don't know who else might have
participated in it.
Had No Information
@. You had knowledge of the fact
that they were doing it but you didn't

its was gotten directly.
@. That is, you didn't know al

WATERWAY WILL
AID TRAVELLERS
SAYS ENGINEER
Judson Sees Great Future if
Deep Waterway is
Opened.

Chicago, ILL.,. Feb. 1s.-Assuming
tina the Great 4eLakes-st. Lawrence
waterway to the ocean will be opened
IN the near future, Col. w. v. Judson,
united States district engineer of the
k-hscago district. has issued a bulletin
IN which he states that it does not
require a great stretch of the imagi-
nation to picture ocean vessels bound
10 and from Chicago carrying passen-
gers in large numbers, as a matter
OF economy in the case OF immigrants
ana as a matter of economy, con-
venlence and pleasure for other pas
sengers..-
In this connection. he conceives a
huge harbor OF the lake shore, on the
south side of this city's present wharf.
Col. Judson's statement SAYS:
> "Po:t facilities to fulfill a number
OF different functions are required at
n port Of first importance. At some
great ports, as New York, the pri-
mary function is one Of transfer from
rail to vessel and vice versa.
AT the port of Chicago the prin-
cipal existing port facilities may be
classed as industrial. The Chicago
industrial n commercial district
now has a Water-borne of
"~nsarly 2o,o00,0 900 tons per annum Gas
compared with New York's 100000
I'H3J, lIc great Dulk OIL winch con.
sists of raw materials of manufacture.
to-Wit: coal. ore and fuxing stone.
industrial port facilities exist
where large areas Of relatively cheap
land are provided with a reasonable
amount Of wharf front and rail CON
ncction Along Indiana harbor canal
ana Calumet river; on the lake front
at Gary, Indiana harbor, and Calumet
harbor. and eventually in Calumet
lake. we have wonderful opportuni-
ties. for industrial port development
Tut a small fraction of which are now
utilized, although the resulting indus
trial district is n of the.sgreatest in
the world
For transfer harbor purposes in
volving the shifting Of freights be-
tween ocean vessels, lake vessels,
barccs, lighters, warehouses and rail-
way cars we need. Of course. to plan
port facilities adapted to such trans
fer functions
1T may be plainly understood from
Ehht precedes that industrial port
facilities and transfer port facilities
are not. competitive in their natures,
but supplementary For example, the
value of n industrial harbor at Lake
Calumet would be vastly enhanced by
the presence, within easy lighterage
distance of a transfer harbor from
which shipments could be made to all
parts of, the world, and. similarly,
value is, added to a transfer harbor II
materials for water movement. and
export are produced in large quaint
lies within easy lighterage distance,
when the Chicago district posses.
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1921-02-18

ses in operation great transfer port
facilities where vessels will deliver
cargoes from all owe the world and
receive cargoes similar destined, it is
readily to be seen that the employ
ment of lighters will be upon a large
and increasing scale, connecting the
transfer facilities with great and
small industrial plants and with the
warehouses of merchants located all
about the Chicago district. In such
lighterage, operations the Chicago
river, the drainage canals (both Main
and Sag), Calumet river and Indiana
harbor canal, all will take part.
Finally, it does not require a great
stretch of Imagination to indicate
that ocean vessels bound to and from
Chicago will carry passengers in large
numbers, as a matter Of economy in
the case of immigrants and asa mat
ter of convenience. economy and
pleasure for other passengers who will
wish to see the scenic beauties of the
Thousand Islands and avoid sea-
sickness and expense while proceed
ing between Europe and this general
neighborhood. I conceive, therefore,
that port facilities will be required in
harbor district No. 3 upon the lake
shore south of 18th street where pas.
senger vessels bound to Or from the
transfer harbor near the state line
will touch in passing to take IN or let
off passengers as we'll. perhaps, as
express and package freight"

ADVERNSEMENT.
Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully.
If you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain toe much alkali
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsifed cocoanut oil shampoo
(Which is pure and g~reaseless), and is
better than anything else you can use.
One or two t~easpoonfuls Of mulsi-
fed will cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. It makes
an abundance Of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright. lustrous. fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsifed cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap. and d few ounces will supply
every member OF the family for
months. Be sure your druggist give,
you Mulsified.

army Of raw troops vas outnumbercd
four TO one. But he spurned Santa
Annals demand for his surrender, and.
with a little more grape from Cap
tain Bragg's battery, he defeated the
Mexicans.
The commanders in the two Mexican
campaigns, Zachary Taylor and Win
field Scott, were as unlike as their
popular nicknames would Indicate
'Old Rough and Ready" and "Old Fuss
and Feathers "Old Rough and
Ready remained throughout his army
service a simple American soldier, a
capable officer in peace and a resource
full one in war.
Obedient always to the civil author
ity, he retained a truly American dis
like of military ceremonial and man
ners.
He was as plain in his private life
and with a wife as unaffected as him
self. This devoted companion made her
home with him in military stockade
and tents, sending her children as
they came along back to the care OF
relatives, but refusing to be parted
from her husband.
Like every man who has heard the
seductive suggestion of his name for
the presidency, Taylor was not long
in yielding to it. Revising his Owl
poor opinion of his qualifications in
the light of their higher appraisal by
others, he came to regard himself as
the peoples candidate and he an
nounced thai he would run as such
aven if no party should nominate him.
The party preference of the old sol
der was in doubt, with no other clue
to it except his brothers illuminating
remark that Zachary liked Henry Clay
and Americap-made clothes. The
Wings nominated him without knowing
where he stood on any question and
they made no platform for him to
stand on. 1t was a merry game with
the great problems that confronted the
nation.
After they had nominated Taylor,
the Wings became fearful for a time
that the joke vas on them. While
they waited and no word came from
their Up NEE at Baton RCun, they
took al a lest he would IT iccept
tie honor from their party. sui he
had not received their letter of notiti'
cation. For they had neglected to pre-
pay the postage on it, and "Old Rough
and Ready" was refusing to receive
all unpaid mail.
