Proposed Ocean Inland WaterzUay
 70 Aid Industry

ChicaSo.-Assuming that the Great LakeS-St. Lawrence water way to the ocean will be opened in the near fu- ture, Col. w. V. Judson, United States district has issued bulletin in which he states that 1t does not re-
 quire a great stretch of the imagin- ation to picture ocean vessels bound to and from Chicago carrying paSSen- gers in large numbers, as a matter of economy in the case of immigrants and as a matter of economy, con- venience and pleasure for other pass engerS.
 In this connection he conceives a
 huge harbor on the lake shore, on the south side of this city's present wharf.
 Col. Judsons statement says: Port facilities to fulfill a number of different functions are required at any port of first importance At some great ports, as New York, the primary 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 and commercial district now has a waterborne commerce of nearly 2O,oO0,00O tons per annum Gas compared with New York's 45,,000,- 900 tons), the great bulk of which consists of raw materials of manu- | fracture, to wit: coal, ore and huXing stone. Industrial port facilities exist where large areas of relatively cheap | land are provided with a reasonable amount of wharf front and rail con- nection. Along Indiana Harbor Canal and Calumet River; the Lake front at Gary, Indiana Harbor, and Calumet Harbor, and eventually n Calumet Lake, we have wonderful opportunities for industrial port de- velopment but a small fraction of which are now utilized, although the resulting industrial district is one of the greatest in the world.
 For transfer harbor purposes in volving the shifting of freights be tween ocean vessels. lake vessels, barges, lighters, warehouses and rail- way cars W need, of course, to plan
 port facilities adapted to such trans fer functions.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-02-25
Boon to Industries,

"It may be plainly understood from
 what precedes that industrial port fla cilities and transfer port facilities are not competitive in their natures. but supplementary. For example, the value of an industrial harbor at Lake Calumet would be vastly enhanced by the presence, within easy lighter age distance, of a transfer harbor from which shipments could be made to all parts of the world, and, simt- larly, value is added to a transfer harbor if materials for water move ment and export are produced in large quantities within easy ighterage dis tance.
 'when the Chicago district possess in operation great transport facilities where vessels will deliver cargoes from all over the world and receive cargoeS similar destined, it is read fly to be seen that the employment of lighters will be upon large and in- creasing scale, connecting the trans fer port facilities with great aI-d
 small industrial plants and with the warehouses of merchants located all
 about the Chicago district In such Eghterage operations the Chicago River, the Drainage Canals (both Main and Sag). Calumet River and Indiana Harbor Canal all will take part.
 Finally, ii does not require a great stretch of imagination to indi- cate that ocean vessels bound to and from Chicago will carry passengers in large numbers as matter of economy l in the case of immigrants and as a matter 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. ther>fore, that port facilities will be required in Harbor District No. upon the Lake Shore south of 16th street where pas
 senser- vessels bound to or from the transfer harbor near the state hne will touch in passing to take on or let off passengeres as well, perhaps as express and package freight"

Professor Will Die From Many Fractures Of Skull

New York-Four men using an iron bedpost as a weapon attacked Pro- lessor yyilfred P. Kotkov, of the Jew ish Theological Seminary in a vacant lot at Woodhaven early today. and struck him so mercilessly that it is expected he will die from multiple fractures of the skull.
 The hoIdup men fled before the arrival of a policeman attracted by Kotkoy's cries. In their hurry they did not search their victims pockets, which were fond to contain only a one dollar bill.
 Three young men later were taken into custody by police. The hands of one of them were said to have been stained with blood.

SOUTH CHINA WANTS

Washington, Sept. 17.-Dissatis-
faction of the unrecognized gov
ernment of South China because it
was not invited to participate in
the disarmament conference Is re-
ceiving considerable attention from
American officials and 1t is under
stood that it would be entirely
acceptable to Washington If the
Chinese delegation were so consti-
tuted so as to include a south
China representative.
All of those in charge of the ne
gotiations here decline to comment
on the situation beyond pointing
out that the south China govern
ment, not having been recognized
officially by the United States,
could not be given an invitation to
sit in the conference. The extent
to which American officials have
gone in emphasizing their hope of
a compromise delegation has not
been revealed but whatever is ac-
complished toward compromise

initiative Of Pekin.

SOME LOGIC!

The journal did not approve
of the school books adoption
when 1t was mace and does not
defend 1t now. Senator Bursum
had nothing to do with 1t. In our
judgment, he knew nothing
about it.
The public is entitled to the
truth. no matter who II hurts.
But IL should have the whole
truth. The truth Is that there
Is a clause In the states con-
tracts with the book companies
that any lesser price which they
may quote on the text books
involved shall become the con-

London, Sept. II (by the Asso-
ciated Press. )-The Quest. the
small ship on which Sir Ernest
Shackleton will explore the un-
charted sections Of the South At
lantic, the Pacific and the Ant
arctic seas, left the Thames today
on the start of her two years voy-
age.
Large crowds gathered on the
docks to wish Sir Ernest and his
party a successful voyage.
The voyage Of the Quest, the
quaint little 200-ton ship which is
carrying Sir Ernest Shackleton and
his party to frozen mysteries in
the south polar seas, has for its OBJ
jectives not only oceanographic re-
search but the exploration of
petrified forest and the location of
a "lost" island-Tuanaki--the ad-
jacent waters of which have not
been sailed for more than ninety
years. In addition, soundings will
be taken of the ocean plateau sur
rounding Coughs island in an ef-
fort to determine the truth re-

continental connection between

The Quest, which uses both sail
and steam, and which may cover
more than 10000 miles before it's
return, was constructed according
to the personal ideas of Shackle-
ton who has made several voyages

statement of Captain HeintZ
that certain soldier organizations

warp It into the statement tha'
certain soldier organizations ha6
