Business Men Told
The Barge Canal Is
Key to Middle West
Citizens Greet Touring Par
ty Along Route; Devel-
opment of n. Y. Project
Preferred to St. Lawrence

UTICA, N. Y, Oct. 18.-Forty mem
bers Of the House of Representatives
and eighty business men and shippers
OF the Middle West, forming the party
of the New York State Waterways Con-
ference, to-day witnessed their first
practical demonstration Of the facli-
ties of the New York Barge Canal.
They traversed forty miles of canal
water from Albany to Amsterdam.
They were lifted through eleven locks
Tonight the visitors were guests of
Tn Utica Chamber of Commerce. At
noon they were entertained by the
Schenectady Chamber Of Commerce at
Union College.
The party was greeted by seven com
Munities along the canal thousands of
citizens turning out to herald its com
ing as the first step in a wide campaign
TO advertise and develop the waterways
of the state and to demonstrate that
the proposed investment OF United
States money in the ST. Lawrence ship
canal would enrich Canada at the ex-
pense of the Empire State
Strong Endorsement of the aim of
the conference to draw attention to the
fact that New York, through her un-
equaled waterways, should continue to
hold the key to the Middle West, was
voiced by speakers at the two gather
ings.
The facilities of the canal were ex-
paired by Charles L. Cadle. State
superintendent of Public Works; his
assistant, Alfred Nj. O'Neill, and Frank
H. Williams, state engineer and sur
veyor. Mr. Cadle declared the threat
cned railroad strike was an argument
for proper maintenance and further
improvement of the states channels.
expressed the opinion that if Congress
desired further Improvement of water
ways, the money should be spent within
the borders of the United States and
not on a foreign project such as the
nronosed St LaWrence Canal.

Abolition of Lessons to
Foreigners Is Protested
Security League Objects to
Elimination From Budget of
Sum for Teaching ENGLISH

1he National Security League YES
terday entered vigorous protes
against the action of the budget com
lnittee Of the Board of Estimate in cut-
ting from the 1922 educational budget
the appropriation for teaching English
to foreigners. The protest was in the
form Of letter written to each mem
Der Of the board by F. J. Lisman, chair
man on public schools. The letter read
in part:
Your budget committee has cut the
amount requested so that not only this
necessary work cannot be extended but
the facilities now existing will have to
be curtailed. What this means can be
readily seen from the fact that the
attendance at these classes last wear
totalled 1900, which was increased
this year TO $4,000.
with all due respect, permit us to
say that if the recommendation of the
budget committee of your board is per
nitted to stand, New York City will
be disgraced by the neglect of a
bounden duty which it owes, not only
70 the men and women who have come
to US from foreign shores, but also to
our own standard of citizenship.
1T is unbelievable that at time
when all good citizens are of one mind
that the product of the melting pot
shall be American, the leading city of
the country should lead in reaction in
stead of constructive Americarism -

made by Mayor Hylan, the principal
guest; Grover 4. Whalen, Commits
slener of Plant and Structures; Police
Commissioner Enright and Mr.. Wanna
maker. Virtually every Democratic
officeholder in New York was present.
In his address Mayor Hyian said the
Police Reserves had good reason for
feeling proud of their connection with
the regular police force. He declared
New York today is freer from vice,
gambling and other forms of lawless-
ness than ever before in its history.
He said the contrary statements were
made by an interest controlled' press
and agents and friends of the UNDER
world, who "were trying TO break down
the morale Of the Police Department.
Commi ssioner Enright in his speech
compared Mayor Hylan to George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln as
q man who had served without due ap-
probation Of his services while they
were being rendered. The Commis-
sioner went on:
The press OF this city and those in
terests which opposed Mayor Hylan
in 1917 have never forgiven him for
being elected. Day in and day out,
without shadow of justification, they
have crucitied him who said to the in
terests trying to invade City Hall as
Marshal toch said to the Germans,
Thou shalt not pass,'"

duties than any of his predecessors
He must, among other things, provide

traction companies. He must devise
methods for budget of more than
S350,000,00O and must safeguard the
city's interests in the financial opera

many years and member of the ma
jority party there. Senator Lockwood
will be we'll qualified to do this The
Union League Club in adopting the
report of its committee on political
reform two weeks ago said: 1t is no
longer sufficient for a Comptroller

disbursements of the Office were almost

Once Myself. Hvlan
Tells 1000 Widows
Who Knows but That a Son
Of Yours May Be Mayor
Some Day He Says, and
Hearers Smile and Cheer

Two thousand widowed mothers
laughed and wept and cheered last
night when Mayor Hylan pictured the
day when one Of their sons would be
elected Mayor of New York City.
1t was the annual meeting of the
Board of Child Welfare, which has
charge of the distribution of pensions
to widowed mothers, at the Washington
Irving High School. and Mayor Hylan
and Sophie Irene Loeb devoted the eve
ming to telling the mothers how much
the city was doing for them.
NO one appreciates what you women
have suffered as much as those who
have been through sufferings of their
own" said the Mayor. "Other people
forget your trials. There are wealthy
people in this city who if they could be
here tonight and see your sorrowful
faces would divide up their wealth to
help you. But | myself was friendless
and unknown when | first came to this
city. | remember what suffering is.
Many and many week | did not
know where the next loaf was coming
from to feed my wife and child, ana
many the time | didn't know where the
rent was coming from.

terested himself for while trying to
cHaw up some plans for terminal mar
kets. He was ousted by Hylan in 1918
before anything was done, and Mr..
. O'Mallcy took his place. Nothing fur
ther happened until people of the Bor-
oagh Of the Bronx decided that Il Mayor
should at least try to live up to his
campaign pledges. Accordingly they
compelled the Borough President Of the
Bronx to prepare and submit some
market plans. This forced Mr.. Hylan
TO act, and the matter was turned over
to Market Gonna issioner O'Malley.
"Mr. O'Malley drew up no plans, but
he didn't waste 4 minute in proposing
that the city pay an architect sos 900
tor drawing up preliminary spocifca-
tlons for market in the Bronx and
100000 to another architect for SINH

each architect was to receive per

the city would have to pay up 70 more

ploy engineers to do the work and pay
them salary, thus saving hundreds of
thousands of dollars of the taxpayers
money. A little knowledge of loading

Whatever that department has accom-
plished. over four years have elapsed
since Candidate Hylan gave us his
word, and, as yet, we have no terminal
markets.
Let me ask this: How many times
must man break his word before YOU
refuse to trust him to be Mayor OF
New York? Last night gave YOU
four cases where Mr.. Hylan. as Mayor
broke promise he made to you when
he was a candidate for Mayor. To-
night have given you two more. That

How many more must we have? Where

L alls to Death
As Tube Train
Door Flies OF oen
Elwyn L. Barron, I Prominent
Harvard Alumnus. Killed:
Passengers Assert Foot O.,
Coat Was Caught in Exit
Body Stripped of Effects
Identification Delayed for
Hours; Victim Member of
n. Y. Advertising House

Elwyn Lee Barron, Of Englewood, N.
j., member Of the advertising firm
Of ]. Walter Thompson, of New York,
was killed instantly yesterday morning
when q door of a New York bound
Hudson and Manhattan tube train
opened suddenly, pitching him out on
the track under the Hudson River. The
train was travelling at high speed be-
tween the Erie station, in Jersey City.
and the Christopher Street station, in
Manhattan.
Although the accident occurred at
8:35 o'clock, tying up the traffic for
nearly two hours, the Identification
was not made until midafternoon. This
delay was said to have been due to the
fact that the body was stripped of all
personal effects before it was turned
over to the police of Jersey City.
Police Captain Begin, of that city,
said last night that he intended to con
duct vigorous Investigation to ascer-
through the effects of Mr.. Barron prior
to the arrival of medical examiner
The story gathered from other pas
sengers on the train was to the effect
that when the door of one of the for
ward cars of the train was closed at
the Erie station Mr.. Barron's right
foot was caught and held betweeA the
sliding door and the jamb, Owing to
the air pressure forced against the
door by the patent closing device, he
was unable to extricate himself AS
the train sped toward Manhattan sew
eral passengers who saw his plight
started to inform the nearest guard.
When told what had happened, the
guard is declared to have pressed
the button which controlled the pres
sure on the door. At that moment the
train was swinging around the curve
at the point where the tubes dip under
the Hudson River. When the door
opened, N1r. Barron was pitched out
Other accounts of the accident were
that it was Mr.. Barron's overcoat,
which he was carrying on his arm, that
was caught in the door, interfering
with the locking device AS the train
took the curve the door opened of it's
own accord, according to these versions,
and Mr.. Barron toppled over backward.
According to statement issued from
the office of the superintendent of the
road, the cause OF the accident has not
been determined. The announcement
states that the door could not be
opened unless the control button was
pushed and that officials of the road
have ordered an Investigation of the
occurrence, which is said to be the first
accident of its kind.
Mr. Barron was graduated from Har-
ward with the class of 1913. He was q
leader in undergraduate activities
while at Cambridge, captain Of the
soccer team and president Of "The Har-
ward Lampoon.' In 1917 he married

Minnesota Farmer Pledges His Support to the North
Dakota Bond Selling Campaign

Dakota farmers were nine years ago,
when the legislature told them to go

Well now boys, the thing before US
is bonds. We will talk bonds, boost
bonds and buy bonds just like we did
when Uncle Sam had bonds to sell,
only these are to build our own in
dustries. We will show the 1. V. AS
where they are if they have nerve
enough to call a referendum election

THE NEBRASKA LEGISLATURE

THE NEBRASKA LEGISLATURE
Editor Nonpartisan Leader: The
legislature adjourned, thank God! It
will go down in history as the most ex-
travagant and least productive of all
the legislative sessions Nebraska has
had.
The reactionary members were in
such majority that they succeeded in
giving the common people less than
nothing, as they took away even some
Of the. liberties we enjoyed, such, as
the primary ballot, the right to strike,
the language in schools and others.
We have to undo at least some of
their acts by referendum, if not all.
While they strive all over the Unit
ed States to bring down wages and
prices with more or less success-suc-
cess was great on farm products-our
renowned reactionary $2O,OO0,OOO leg
islature raised the salary of a set of
officers from $4,000 to $4,000 per year.
We must put halt to this. Fellow
League members, it is up to us to put
a shoulder against it. We must begin
even now to find better men for office,
men with reason and common sense.
They are hard to find. War has made
them so scarce.

BACK TO "NORMALCY"

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: T am
always glad to receive the Leader be-
cause it really brings facts. I wish
every farmer in the United States was
subscriber, and if I can help the
League in any way I will be delighted.
The business men say things are
coming back to normal standard. We
don't need normal standard. That
has always been our ruin. Load up a
four-horse load of milo maize, 1000
pounds, haul to town and receive $40
for the load. Go into a dry goods
store and a four-year-old child can
carry the four-horse load in dry goods.
l butchered six steers and the six
hides bought me pair of shoes and
l had $1.60 left. Come on farmers, do
we want normal standard? If so
believe we will get it. But if you
farmers are as eager as am we will
make standard that will be just to
all humanity. Join the League.
Boost justice and you will still be
boosting the League.
/ keep my League paper going after
1 read it. Give it to friend if you
have to wrap it and send by mail. If
l had to buy lister now it would
cost me $80-16,000 pounds of maize,
2S5 bushels 40 pounds-to pay for
four-horse lister. Do we want a nor
