Lake Region Growth Is
 Seen In Canal Project

Washington, March 31-A new era in the industrial and commercial de- velopment of the States and provinces of the Great Lakes region on both sides of the international boundary line is seen by members of Congress in the proposed new deep channel waterway to the sea via the St. Law renee River, the construction of which has just been recommended in the re- port of the joint international com mission of the United States and Canada.
 Not only would the canal mean re- newed expansion and growth in the great cities on the lakes, such as Buff fa1o, Chicago, Milwaukee and Cleve- land, but the growth of new great cities 1oomed, it was pointed out.
 Senator Kellogg (R.), of Minnesota, pointed to the report of the joint commission, in which rapid develop ment was predicted for Duluth, Min nesota and the twin cities of Fort ua adian side of Lake Superior.
 Forty thousand miles of railway serving the great American West are tributary to Duluth, while Canada's serve Fort William and Port Arthur the report declared.
 Might Rival Twin Cities.
 The possibility that these two Ca uadian cities might rival the twin cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis as the result of the construction of the new canal system was pointed out by members of Congress who stand sponsor for the project.
 "The proposed new waterway to the sea from the heart of the Ameri- can Continent would be very benef1- cial not only to the immediate lake region, but to all that Mid-Western country lying as far westward as the Rocky Mountains" said Senator Kel- Iogg today. ''It would afford an out let to the markets of the world for the products of this region.
 ''The report of the commission seems entirely practicable and highly  Senator Townsend (R.), of Mtchi- gan, another of the sponsors of the proposed waterway, declared 1t would be of tremendous benefit to the region served.

 The following church members ap- pointed to various committees and boards: trustees, F, L. Cogin and F. A Parsons; deacons, A. F. DeVis, F. H. Bassett, c. J. Dickson, and William MatEewson. Two of these men will re- place Dr. F. l.. Smith and R. A. Knox, who resigned.

''It would afford an outlet to the seaboard. without transhiDment of the products of this region, which at present can't stand the heavy freight l rates charged by the railroads said Senator Townsend.
 Make Lakes Commercial Centre"
 Ut would make of the Great Lakes region a mighty commercial, manu- featuring and shipbuilding centre. It would afford a cheaper rate on raw materials brought in for the pur- pose of manufacture and also a cheaper rate on products sent to market
 Several years would be needed to complete the proposed project which, the commission estimated would cost 8 total of $372, 100000. Of this $252,- Lawrence River project and $120,- 000,000 the cost of the New We1land Canal project, between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, which already has been undertaken by the Canadian Govern ment.
 As an indication of the develop n1ent thet commerce is capable of in the Great Lakes region the joint in ternational commission pointed to the tremendous increase in freight carried through the Saulte Ste. Marie Canal in 1920.
 Some Recent Figures.
 This amounted to $1,119. .ooo.o 900, as against amounts in the four years s2os, ,O0o.ooo, s25o,oo0,oOo and s2es.- 100000, respectively.
 The more than one billion of com merce for 1920 was divided as fol- lows:
 Coal. s,ooo.oOo; four. sss.ooo,- 900; wheat s315, 100000; manufac- tured iron, s6,O00,000; iron ore, s340,- 0O0,000; copper, $1S,000,0O0; lumber. S10,0O0,0OO; grains other than wheat, S7S,0oO, 1000; stone, $9S5,0OO; salt, 1922, 1000; general merchandise, $125,000.
 In addition to the outlet to the sea board which the waterway would af- ford, the linking of land and water routes for transcontinenta1 traffic is regarded as of high importance. e.
 The project calls for minimum depth of twenty-five to thirty feet, which would permit navigation by practically all large seagoing freight steamers.

II Million
 Negroes In United States

Newark, N. J.. March 31.-There are 11,ooo.0Oo negroes in the Unit ed States, Rev. I. Garland Penn, told the members of the Newark conference of the Metho dist Episco- pal Church, here tonight. Thirty per cent. of the population of the South is negro,'' he added, 'tyet over forty per cent. of all the persons en- gagged in agriculture in the South are negroes. It is here that the Church has it's best opportunities for the up- lift of the masses of the negro ueo- pie.
 Five hundred thousand negroes have recently shifted from agricul- centers of the North. In Harlem, New York city, there are 15O,OOO ne- groes; the seating capacity of the ne gro churches of Harlem is only 20,- 900. This unchurched situation has it's counterpart in Chicago and is an acute problem in every large city of the North. The Methodist Episce- pal Church has developed negro in stitutional churches in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Detroit, Chi cago and other Northern cities.
 Approximately 250,000 young peo- ple have been enrolled in our institu- tions. Only about 1S,0o0 can be clas- sed as graduates but the fact that they have been enrolled and have had training in our institutions has of the Negro people along all lines.

Locks May Be Used Against
 BOOtleggers

Washington, March S1.-Use of the paddock weapon, to stamp out boot logging and illicit distilling, is to be resorted to upon a large scale over the United States.
 r Prohibition Commissioner Haynes said that the paddock" provision of the Volstead law, authorizing the seizure and closing of places occu- pied by violators of the liquor laws may prove in the end to be the great est single method of drying up the country. MT. Haynes, impressed with the salutary effect in a number of places following the closing of hotels and other places where very serious viola the handicaps to prohibition enforce ment must be overcome by the rigid application of this provision.
 The great degree of wetness pre- all that the Federal authorities have done, has brought Connissioner Haynes to the conclusion that still more vigorous tactics must be employ ed.
 Prohibition officials up to this time have been reluctant to employ the paddock provision to stop liquor making and selling: Even now, they declared. they would like to find some other equally effective way.
 The records of the prohibition en- forcement organizations in the differ ent states show very concIusively that small fines and light sentences gen orally imposed amount merely to a license to illicit liquor makers and vendors odo business.
 There are now pending in Federal courts about 10000 liquor law cases.
 Officials cited that fact today to emphasize the importance of their plan to use the paddock It was de- cIared that in the cases pending there are thousands of second and third offenders. Ability to pay the fees of bondsmen and attorneys renders them
 tfo-,f fi>- service.
 According to the programme agreed upon, officials will ask for the closing of buildings occupied by those known to be engaged in the making and sell ing of intoxicating liquors as busi- lesS

has come to the conclusion that Car

last August. that he dropped back
among the scenes of his earlier life
without statement and that his depart

ent investigation by a former convict,
begun while in prison and continued
after his release. was given credit for
the reopening of the Lura Parsons

ments against three men charging
them with the crime.

crew at the convict camp.
James Robinson. negro also a men,
Der Of the convict camp.
Robinson was tried on a charge OF
murder in connection with the crime
and acquitted.
Credit for the reopening Of the Gaze
was given today to the efforts OF John
Bramley, who was a prisoner in the
Frankfort reformatory at the time OF
the murder.
He overheard conversations between
other conyicts that other investigators
we're not able TO reach. He was in
prison when Jerry Reed was sent back
from the road camp. He declared he
saw Reed sell the pocketbook carried
by Miss Parsons to another convict

lowed Miss Parsons over the trail
from Dillon toward the school, was
charged with the murder. He wai
tried and acquitted.
Bramley finished his sentence anC
going to Dillon started over the trai
across Pine Mountain. It was his frs
trip over the Pine Mountain trail
but he was familiar with certain land
marks, through conversations he hat
heard while in the penitentiary.
He located a certain hollow gun
tree. His quest was ended. From in
side the tree he dislodged clothing, 9
two-piece suit Of mems underwear
blood-stained-and the undershirt was
marked in indelible ink with a mum
Der. A. check on the prison records
proved the number was that assigned
to Jerry Reed.

dered teacher recognized the pocket
book the former convict had recov
cred.
