FERGUSON TELLS OF
 NORTH WATERWAY
Hartford Man Made Tour Of
 St. Lawrence River


 Samuel Ferguson. vice president Of the Hartford Electric Light company, expressed his views on the proposed Canadian and New England waterway before the members of the Rotary club at the luncheon at the Elks grill today Mir. Ferguson. with several prominent men of the country, made tour of the St. Lawrence river and other northern territory last summer.
 In his talk to the Rotarians, Mir, Ferguson stated that the New Eng land people are not awake to the proposition as filed with the interna- tional commission at Washington, The proposition as explained by MT, Ferguson would aid transportation on the St. Lawrence and would provide power to towns and cities within a three hundred mile radius.
 The canal in the river would be made so tbat so per cent of the ships used to haul freight would be able to make passage down the st. Law renee into the Great Lakes. A mon strous dam would be built with one end in United States and the other in Canada. A power house would be built on each end of the dam.
 For some reason or other, Mir. Fer guson stated, New York and Penn sylvania are opposed to the proposi- ton while the middle west states are anxious to see 1t through. New Eng land has not voiced its sentiments on the deal and he says that the middle west states cannot see why New Eng land does not say that it is in favor Of such doings.
 Would Relieve Railroads
 Because of the fact that the works could not be completed for eight years time. MT. Ferguson said that it would be great benefit to the New Haven and other railroads nasmuch as these companies cannot afford to build up their roads and during sea sonal transportation. there is usually E tie up in traffic.
 The Meriden Rotary club will ob- serve it's first ladies night on Friday of next week and local Rotarians planning to attend are asked to notify Fred Rackliffe. George Dyson has been named as chairman of, the com mttee for the national convention 10 be held in Los Angeles, California, from June to 9.

ALBANIA CHANGES
 GOVERNMENT EASY
New Rules Instituted Over Night
 and Dissolve as Quick

Tirana, Albania. Feb. 2,-Turbulent Albania has summary way of changing governments The other day. when the regents got tired of the administration of Pendeli Evangcli,
 prime minister, they told him to re-
 sign or there would be bloodshcd. He refused.
 He was given 12 hours in which to choose between the loss of his posi-.
 ton or the loss of his head. At mid
 night he went to his hotel to deliber
 ate on the stern ultimatum.
 An hour later group of represen- tative Albanians among them seVera
 members of the government, called upon the premier and told him those
 in authority would brook no delay in
 his resignation The emissaries were accompanied by soldiers with rifles If he didn't get out blood would be
 spilled, innocent people killed. and al
 revolution might ensue. So he quit. He was succeeded by Hasan Prls- tine, who is described by Americans in Albania as an adventurer and a
 born intriguer. Hasans regime was short lived. too. His administration was n failure. He suffered the same fate as his predecessor, although the terms of his resignation were not quite so peremptory or unconvention- al as those of Evangeli. The regents are now casting about for new
 chief of state. There has since been a revolution
 Ay atmosphere in the city and trou-
 ble has been momentarily feared. Parliament, however. was guarded by
 soldiers and machine guns. In the
 midst of their relief work among the
 widows and children, the American Red Cross workers are finding many thrills. They are. however, in mol danger, as their welfare and security is the first thought of the Albanian and Italian authorities.
 It is generally felt among the for eign colony that there can never be stable government here so long as the regents are in power. It is said some
 of them cannot even read or write.
 Nevertheless. they are in absolute
 control of the country.
 The most hopeful friends of the Albanians sometimes despair of their ever developing into an orderly efh-
 cient, self-governing people.

COST j, 5. huge
AMOUNT IN Loss
Eastern Cities Anxious About
Supplies at Present Time,
Crops Must be Moved
To Feed People.
BY HARRY HUNT.

WASH NGTON 49, Additional han
dlcaps in railroad transportation, gov.
ernment market experts say, will bring
Immediately:
Acute shortages in necessary food
stuffs in the great consuming centers
in the east.
Millions upon millions Of dollars loss
In perishable products grown in the
west and middle west.
Soaring cost of food necessities
Untold hardship and privation, they
say. undoubtedly would follow a gen.
eral rail te-up.
Growers and other producers are
hardest hit now by the strike because
1t comes at time when the chief
fruit and vegetable crops are being
harvested. These demand prompt ship.
ment TO markets or storage centers to
prevent spelling.
The situation in New York, Boston
and Philadelphia, is typical OF what
& rail deadlock would do along the
Atlantic seaboard. These cities depend
on the south and west for the bulk Of
their meat. wheat, dairy products,
fruits and staple vegetables.
New York uses about 1000 tons Of
meat a day; the others cities use 1t
proportionatey. Cut off the ship
ments OF dressed meat and livestock
and the meat markets would have TO
close in 10 days.
At Low Ebb.
StprkS nf yrbn In, aoc 4.
ern cities are at low ebb. The
great harvests of the northwest arc
just now ready to move toward the
eastern milling and consuming cen
ters. Thus the east would face also
bread shortage.
Inability to move grain to the mill
ing centers would bring many Of the
farmers of Minnesota and the Dakotas
face to face with disaster. and the
flour bins of the whole nation would
suffer.
Dairy products stocks in storage are
greater this season than in years, and
the situation is not so acute.
The potato crop also would suffer
from a rail tie.up. The peak of ship
ments from the Maine and North Da
kota fields comes in September and
October. The Dakota crop alone this
season is estimated at $4,000 cars.
Crops Must Move.
More than 100000 cars OF perish
able foodstuffs, excluding the grea,
California fruit crop and exclusive
Of dressed meats, will have to b'
moved within the next three months
If producers are not to face ruin ant
If consumers are to be able to pro
vide for their tables this winter.
First producers to feel the pinch o.
the strike were the California crap,
growers. Hundreds of cars of grape,
have been held In siding at Rosedaye
; Cal, chief icing point for the loni
transcontinental haul. This year
California grape crop is estimated a
J 10000 cars. II it is denied shipment
