Sumner planned to question Tom

continent with sea-going European
traffic-Was signed here today by
representatives of the two countries.
Secretary of State Henry L. Slim
son signed the treaty on behalf of
the United States and Minister
William D. Herridge for Canada.
The treat will be the subject
of senate hearings, at which Gov
ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt, Demo-
cratic presidential nominee may tes-
tify regarding New York states part
in the giant project.
Roosevelt recently asked for a
conference with President Hoover on
the subject, but Mr.. Hoover rejected
the proposal.
Opposes Utility Control
Roosevelt is interested in the DOW
er phases of the pact, opposing any
arrangement that would enable
large public utility corporations to
gain control of the power output
The senate and the Canadian
parliament must approve the treaty
before it becomes effective.
The project calls for construction
of a seaway twenty-seven feet deep
to connect the Atlantic ocean
through the Great Lakes and the
st. Lawrence river with the vast
grain and oil producing sections of
the American and Canadian mid
west.
= Under the treaty, the two gov
ernments will spend $543 ,429, 900 in
completing the waterway. It's total
cost, including past work, is est
mated unof1cially at $800,OOOO0
Two large dams, capable of de-
veloping 1,100, 000-horse power to
light farms and cities and turn the
wheels of hundreds of factories, are
invisaged in the project.
Hoover Is Jubilant
President Hoover, with whom the
project has been a hobby for a dec
ade issued a statement coincidental
with the signing of the treaty. call
ing the st. Lawrence waterway "the
greatest internal improvement yet
undertaken on the North American
continent"
The project is of first impor-
lance to the whole continent" he
said.
Obviously joyful at the compile
ton of the long and delicate task,
Secretary Stimson and Minister
Herridge smiled as they signed the
treaty in the historic diplomatic
room of the state department.

Before Voting
MIS- week the members of the

THIS week the members of the
Il legislature will vote upon a
measure which will, if it becomes
a law, give the people right to
own ard operate their public
utilities.
That measure is being fought
bitterly. The old fiction that the
utilities pay the taxes is being
used. Every dollar they pay out,
either in taxes or in dividends on
watered stocks or fictitious yalu-
ationS, comes from the people.
Before any member of the legis-
lature votes on that measure, he
should visit Loew'S Palace theater
and see and hear presentation of
Washington Masquerade.
The film exposes, with some
Hollywood exaggeration and
drama, the methods used by the
power trust to corrupt those who
want to serve the people. In this
case, it was beautiful woman
who became the tool.
u n
IN state legislatures the meth
Il eds are more sordid, but none
the less devastating.
For the first time the screen has
joined the protest against cor
ruption of government and deals
in most striking manner with
very present problem.
The fight of the people for the
control of power is a real war. 1t
is waged in Washington. 1t now
is in the Skirmish stage in In
dianapolis. The municipal owner
ship bill is one sector.
And the methods of the power
trust always are the same-corrup-
ion, corruption, corruption.
If any member of the legislature
has the faintest idea of voting
against the public ownership bill,
The Times invites him to see this
film, at its expense, and dares him
to vote against it after he has
seen it.
incidentally The Times congrat-
ulates the movies for daring to
deal with real problem on the
side of the people.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July 10
Reports of another prison camp
"sweat box" death we're carried to-
day into a conference intended to
Danish such brutality in prisons
which permitted such punishment,
1t was believed, in at least four
cases within two months.
The latest reports were received
by AL F. German, foreman Of a
grand jury which already has in
dicted two prison guards on murder
charges in the sweat box" death
OF l9-year-old New Jersey boy.
The reports came by air mail
from Miami German refused to
reveal their exact content.
Il want to place the matter be-
fore the states attorney" the grand
jury foreman, who has received
numerous death threats because of
his activity, reported.
Mas Subpoena Governor
"Unless we get the action of state
officials we demand, we may have
to subpoena Governor Doyle F. Carl
ton and Highway Commissioner
Mayo"
German conferred today with a
group of church women interested
in his fight on the ancient torture
methods permitted in several states.
Tennessee, for instance, permits the
same sweat box" treatment, al
though no official record shows it
has been used.
Whipping, the ball and chain,
and other such punishment is per-
mitted in several states.
The first torture victim reported
was Arthur Maillefert, 10, West
field, N. j. He had been beaten.
Then his body was clothed" in a
barrel and he was marched around
camp. The youth escaped from the
barrel, but bloodhounds got him.
Then he was thrown into the
Sweat box
Maillefert, weakened by his ex-
perience, was placed in the box, a
chain around his neck. An hour
later he was found dead strangled
by the chain.
Two Are Indicted
G., w. Courson and Sol Higgin-
botham, guards, we're indicted after
the boys death.
Two months ago, Harold Brad
ley of Loretta, Pa, was shot to
death while attempting to flee a
prison camp where such tortures,
plus the stocks used commonly by
the Pilgrim Fathers, we're per-
mitted. The grand jury exoner-
ated prison guards.
Governor Carleton promised an
investigation of that shooting, it
was learned, after news of the
Maillefert Sweat box death
brought renewed demands for an
investigation
