Police, Fooled, Offer
Apologies to Priest

Cambridge, Mass, Aug. IL Up
The Rev. Christopher Mazzalini. pas
tor of st. AIMS Catholic church.
Raritan, N. j., gave detective forces
in Boston and this city few anxious
moments when he stepped off New
York train on which a number Of
Sacco-Vanzetti sympathizers also ar
rived.
Suspicion of the officers. who were
watching at the South station train
gates, was aroused when the priest
stepped to an information booth to
inquire the way to Harvard college
and several other public buildings.
With 50 other Persons, he was placed
under immediate surveillance.
A trailing inspector lost him In a
subway crush but telephoned here
where another policeman was wait
ing when he stepped off train. At
the Brattle Square station, Father
Mazzalini's credentials and the pedi-
gree of his prize Irish terrier quickly
brought apologies from Captain
Michael Brennan whose own Irish
setter is the pride of the station.
The police advised Father Mazza-
lini to stay away from Harvard for
a few days until Sacco- Vanzetti ex-
element subsidies.

Conference

Indianapolis. Ind, Aug. II Up
Further clashes between the pro-
gressive wing of the International
Typographical union and the admin
istration were looked for today az
the diamond convention Of the or
ganization swung into Its fourth
day. The progressive wing. headed
by President Charles P. Howard, has
been victorious in all controversies,
since the opening of the present
conference. marking the first time
the administration has lost control
OF an International convention.
Yesterday the progressives won
out on question that greatly con-
Germs the relationship between news
paper publishers and the printers.
The convention by a vote of 295
to 21s adopted rule which makes
it mandatory for a publisher to re-
instate a discharged employe If
union recommends that
the employee be reinstated. The re-
holds good until the
case has been investigated by the
executive council or a convention.
The progressives forced adoption
Of change in the laws regarding
publication of the union publication.
Space in the publication was set
apart for the expressing OF views by
the president and other officers
without such views being censored
or edited by the editor. The union
journal is edited by an administra-
ton man.

From 1882, when the Mississippi River

the government to assist IN the control OF
floods along the Mississippi river, to the
close of 1926, the stupendous sum Of $685.
1O1 ,449O3 was spent in the construction OF
levees, and in fighting the recurring floods.
This expenditure was almost entirely along
the Mississippi river, and takes little
account Of the sums used on the important
tributaries, all of them interstate streams
The states Of the lower valley contribute
ed $1o7,O11,455.45 to this expenditure, or
10 per cent Of the entire amount
When the cost Of protecting the tribu-
taries, betrayed entirely by the individual
states, is taken into account, and when the
large sums spent before 1882 are consider
ed-Louisiana alone had been building
levees for $50 years prior to the advent OF
government aid-it will be seen that the
cost of flood control to the lower valley has
already been nearl ly as great as the amount
spent by the national government in build
ing the Panama canal.
Construction of the Panama canal was
Justly considered great national achieve
ment possible only for one Of the worlds
wealthiest countries. Yet handful Of states
in the Mississippi valley have borne the
major part of an expenditure almost as
8reat in trying to protect themselves from
floods, which they do not originate, but
which have repeatedly devastated their
lowlands
All of the rainfall in Arkansas, Missis-
sippi and Louisiana could have been con-
trolled and carried safely to the Gulf for a
small part of the money these states have
spent, had it not been for the floods from
the Rockies, the Alle8henies and the
Great Lakes region which sweep down
periodically, swelling the current, burst
ing the levees, and carrying destruction
in their path
The experience Of Louisiana is typical
of the flood burden thrust on the states of
the valley below Cairo. In the past sixty
years, for which detailed records are
available, more than $9l 100000 has been
spent on the Mississippi and it's tributaries
to protect this state alone, and Of this
amount Louisiana contributed $o3, ,OOO-
900. In the four years succeeding the
1922 flood alone, the state has spent at the
rate of $2,5OO,O0O year for flood pro-
lection, in addition to the contributions OF
the Federal government.
The states Of the lower valley have
already spent more than enough money
to protect themselves from any possible
flood that might orr 8inate within their
borders. Every dollar now being spent,
and to be spent in future, is to carry safely
to the sea the floods of other states-what-

Make It Thorough

One Of the serious issues that confronts Mi
OF is the control Of the flood waters OF the
louise river, sluggish stream for most OF the
ear, but potentially in the spring at least
apable of great damage to life and property
that enterprising metropolis.
State Engineer Kennedy is to present his
Ian at public meeting to be held November
His plan is an artificial channel which would
ford an outlet for the flood waters and pro-
ect the city of Minot He is right when ne
avs there is no alternate for complete control
.espite his estimate of $1,2O0,00O as the cost
f such protection for the city. Most soundly
le points out that any half measures at
sss cost will be merely expedients or an ex-
ension of the temporary measures which last
pring saved Minot from millions Of dollars in
property loss and possible injury or death to
is citizens.
Mr. Kennedy readily points out that lesser
protection can be had for less money, but such
plan would be kitchen economy; saving at
he spigot and wasting elsewhere.
Our neighbors to the north probably will de-
ide that the only way to do the job is to do
efficiently. Spring floods doubtless have
ost Minot more than the 81 100000 which Mr.
Kennedy proposes as the measure Of perma-
tent and effective relief.

Echoes of the Peace Ship

Because Ford's peace ship"-the quotations
ire ours-bore North Dakota governor and
North Dakota editor, the echoes of that
bizarre undertaking are naturally of interest
ocally. Now comes Nine. Rosika Schwimmer,
hungarian, the woman, strange to relate, who
persuaded Ford to launch the venture, and
.sks to be admitted to American citizenship.
She is former Hungarian minister to Switzer-
and and well-known publicist.
A Chicago board of naturalization has re-
used her citizenship because she stoutly MAIN
aimed her adherence of war and voiced re-
'usal even to aid the military forces in defense
If this nation.
Of course citizenship should be denied her
IN such a showing. A citizen sswears to up
,old the constitution and to aid in the defense
If the nation. A woman may not be called
lpon actually to carry arms or do duty on the
firing line, but the late world war indicated
low intimately women are linked to the des-
my of a nation during war and how impor-
ant are their services at home and on the
.ield of action.
Judge Carpenter, in denying her the priv
eyes Of citizenship in the Republic, was sound
n the premises and, as he said, there is nc
