ENGINEERS BEGIN STUDY
FOR NICARAGUAN CANAL
U. S. Not Involved in Plan. Officials
Say-Project Was Dropped
in 1923.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN SALVADOR, December "a
commission of American engineers
has arrived at Bluefields, Nicaragua,
to make preliminary studies of the
construction of Il Nicaraguan canal.
Proposal for an interoceanic wa
terway through Nicaragua were
dropped by the United States Govern
ment carly in 1928 because Of the pro
hibitive costs OF the undertaking.
Last May Ralph y. Elliott. a col
lea que of the economist. Prof. Jere-
miah ". Jenlls. who was retained by
Nicara qua to revise the countrE's
banking laws, submitted Il l,lan for
the canal to the ManaglIan govern
ment. He then was quoted in dis
patches as declaring that the United
States will finance and begin the pre-
liminary work, but Washington Of
ticialS asserted they had no knowledge
of Mr.. Elliotts offer and stated that
the American Government had not
passed Judgment on the project in

BILL AUTHORIZES u. S.
TO TAKE OVER MINES
Seizure of Anthracite Works to
Safeguard Public Proposed by
Representative Black.

Seizure and operation by the Fed
eral Government of the anthracite coal
mines as a means of safeguarding the
health and welfare of the people, which
have been jeopardized by the closing
Of these mines. is proposed in n bill
which Representative Loring Black
Democrat, OF New York. has ready to
introduce as soon as the House is or
ganized In explaining the purposes
Of his bill and discussing the legality
Of the proposed seizure, Mr.. Black
said yesterday:
THE refusal of the coal operato ors
to parley with the United Mine Work
ers on the conditions proposed by Gov.
pinchot clearly leaves the operators
as hostile to the public interest. This
is the significant result of Gov. Pin
chot's intelligent and courageous sug-
gestions. He has cleared the air.
Lewis has cleverly established the
workers as better disposed toward the
public than the operators.
1.-THE time has come for us to find
out If a few coal compani about 10
in ALL are stronger than the Federal
Government. They have challenged
the United States to prove 1t is a work
ing government. Government of all
things. must protect the health Of the
individuals, and u government that
cannot accomplish this will lose the
confidence of the people.
The United States must intervene
and must take over the mines. An
emergency justifying such a drastic
step exists There is sufficient legal
authority for it.
IF the mines are so related to the
public welfare as to be granted the
extraordinary governmental power OF
eminent domain then the Government
must be legally able to take over the
mines so that the coal can be deliv-
cred to the public. Smith, who owns
a coal mine, can take the property of
his neighbor Jones to build a railroad
to carry coal to the public. Then, il
smith refuses to produce the coal the
country needs, the United States may
take over Smiths mine and use 1t III

have a particular significance in the
case of American-Japanese relations.
Efforts have been made from time to
time and with different purposes in
view to lead the people OF one side to
distrust those Of the other Such
activities are sadly to be deplored.
Between our countries there Is no
reason or excuse for distrust. We
have long been friends. for more than
20 years, and none of our important
interests, policies or inclinations can
seriously conflict. 1t is. therefore, to be
hoped that earnest endeavors will be
put forth on both sides to cultivate the
fullest measure of good understanding
and mutual confidence on the part of
each of us.

Fire Prevention Week

AS everyone knows this week is
hre prevention week turnout the en-
tire county. Have you ever stopped
to realize that over three billion dol
lars worth of property is destroyed
by fire each year? On this basis it
means that one-third Of the property
built each year, is destroyed. In most
cases it is found that fire is caused
thru carelessness and could have
been prevented.
1t is for the good of the country
that We preserve our forests. Why
should We waste thousands of dollars
through fires Which could have been
prevented by putting out that bond
flre; or putting out that match or
cigarette.
When there is fire in commune
lty altho one man stands the greater
loss the whole country and commun-
lty looses by it also. For the more
flres country has, the lower its
property value and wealth.
Many organizations have been
working all summer for this cause,
For example, the Boy Scouts and
the Camp Fire Girls but just q few
can not put big thing over big,
without the cooperation of the entire
country.
Since this is fire prevention week
in Kennewick as well as every other
town, let's get behind it and show
everyone that Kennewick is wide
awake.

covered that Grandview and Sunny

Kennewick opened the game by

| a few words more won't be too much
anyway. They report that several UNI
invited guests arrived at the initia-
ton party, some of whom received
several cracks with paddle manu-
featured for that specific occasion. I
CUES they did not receive any more
than they deserved.
Friday afternoon and evening we
witnessed some very wierd and hid
eous scenes. They made even the hard
boiled seniors SILVER with fear. In
the afternoon there were many dan
grous and hard fought battles. Most
of them were won by the freshmen,
whether by tears or fears or brutal
strength. The poor defeated sophs
had to be content to take their re-
venge later in the afternoon and eve
ming.
Really the freshies owe their vic
tory to the girls bacuse they're sure a
husky lot, some of the sophomore
girls thought so anyway when they
were attacked and their colors force
fully removed. Well get 'em tonight
were the muttered remarks that the
sophs uttered.
Poor freshies, they went around
the rest of the afternoon with their
knees shaking so that when the time
came for the greatest event of the
day the "tug of war" or bath in
the ditch, the freshies were unable
to stand on their feet any longer
and were dragged into the ditch by
the beaming sophs. Thus the freshies
received their last bath for the win
| ter.
The same evening the freshmen ap-
peared in overalls and some had a
queer bulky appearance as if it was
! not natural and we couldn't imagine
why they should need to take such a
precaution.
Nevertheless in spite Of all this
trouble the freshmen were very polite
and remained standing for the rest
of the evening. We found the freshies
very obediant for beginners and they
arose quite willingly when asked If
they didn't believe that the sophie

kennewick had much better team
play IN this game than in the game
with Pendleton, but there were sew
eral players who stood out in the
game. Spaulding's work at end was
especially good. He made two touch
downs and caught several passes and
one OF the best defensive games of
the line.
The tackles, Richter and Garrett.
showed Improvement. They PLAYED a
very strong defensive game and
showed much better tackling. The
rest of the line also played good
game.
Hudnall and Smith were the stars
OF the backfeld. Hudnall got off
good punts every time, one measur-
ing almost 60 yards. He made good
yardage on the line bucks also. Smith
made several runs and criss-crosses
for big yardage. The quarter backs
showed that they still needed some
experience.
The lineup for the game was
Spaulding and Lincoln, ends; Carrot
and Richter, tackles; Warnock and
Newkirk, guards; Soth, center; Ker-
schell and Smith halfbacks; Hudnall
fullback; Boyer, quarterback.
Several substitutes got to play in
the game. Byrd, Johnson, and Green
substituted in the line and Schuster
and Cox in the backfield.
The next game is with Milton-Free-
water on their field. Last year Ken
newick won by one point. It will be
another hard game this year because

to ~ tie last week. However, our
team is going down there expecting
to win and will put up hard fight.

East Side Woman
Breaks Into
Jail

Mrs. E. H. Cross. resident of
the East Side, visited the county
Jail this morning, and decided it
would not be necessary to con-
suit the Jail officials in order to
get some supplies, chiefly ciga-
rettes, to some women friends Of
hers, who are confined in the
county institution.
During the heated part of the
day the women prisoners are al
lowed to stay out on the balcony
above the main entrance to the
Jail, and Mrs. Cross was throw
ing up the cigarettes to the bal
cony, much to the delight Of the
prisoners.
It so happened that Sheriff Gill
lett came along at the right or
wrong time, depending upon the
point of view, and placed Mrs.
Gross under arrest, for violating
the state law which prohibits
giving supplies to prisoners eX-
cept through the regular chan
nels.
AS a result of the sheriff's ac-
tion, Mrs. Cross Joined her
women friends, but not on the
balcony, the sheriff refusing to
allow the prisoners this privilege
because they had abused it. The
women inmates decided that Mrs.
Cross was not such friend af-
