He reports the ROAD between the end

.BlLIEvE MURDERER
HEADED THIS WAY

Durango, Colo. Jan. 1.-THE bodies
OF Clay Carpenter and Frank Aikens,
of Matador. Texas, were found IN an
arroyo about sixty feet from a de-
serted cabin near El Nado, New Mex
leo, 10 miles south OF here, today by a
searching party looking for strayed
cattle. Both men had been shot to
death. As a result of the find the
authorities are looking for Price Glenn
ents, also of Matador. who is known
have been with the two slain men
and who now is missing.
Signs around the cabin pointed to
the fact that the men had been slain
in the building and their bodies drag
ged to the arroyo where they were
found.
The three men left q point in New
Mexico two weeks ago in an automo-
bile for hunting, trapping and sight
seeing trip. Carpenter and Aikens were
known to have about 5000 with them
when they started on the trip. A man
ents was traced to Lumbertou. n. NJ,
where he sold an automobile and some
clothing. From 1umberton. the man
has been traced to Pueblo, Colo.
All money and valuables and large
amount Of clothing was missing from
the bodies OF the two men when found.
Tho local police received a notifica-
ton from the authorities of El Vado
advising them that Indications pointed
TO Clements coming TO Pueblo and
tho detectives and patrolmen ara on
the watch for him, altho hs had not
been apprehended Wednesday night by
them, or any clues found.

CANALS PROJECT
BILL INTRODUCED
Representative Urges u. S.
And Canada Share
Costs Of Plan

washington, D. c., Jan. 11.-Im-
provement of tho new welland canal
between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario
as well as the st. Lawrence river to
provide 80 foot channel from Lake
Erie to the sea has been recomm end
ed by the International joint COM
mission in its report on tho proposed
according to Representative Chalmers
Republican of Ohio. Today he intro
duced a bill in the house authorizing
the Improvement by the United
States, but stipulating that the ex-
pense be borne equally by tho United
guaranteed by both governments
The report of the commission which
has been submitted to the state de-
part1nent, but has not yet been made
public Mr.. Chalmers said in a state
ment recommends that the project
including the widening and deepening
of the rev Welland canal be under
taken and that the cost be met thru
taxation by the United States and
Canada The commission report he
said, recommends that the division of
costs be figured on the basis of known
traffic for five years to be definitely
ertained by an International sur
vey.
IT believe such a proc edure Is too
indefinite and intangible to be used
A. basis for determining the alloca-
ton Of the costs OF The enterprise
which will run into the hundreds OF
millions of dollars" he declared.
IT think the $3.50 proposition II
the safest and fairest for both coun-
tries
The Chalmers bill provides that the
bonds should be retired with proceeds
derived from the sale Of hydro-elec-
tric power made available for COM
merCiAl use by the irnpPovem ents
The measure also proposes that the
benefit derived by hydro electric
energy shall be equally divided be-
tween the two countries.
