Crashing The Gate

It looks as if Mrs Hattie w. Caraway of Arkansas will be the first woman to be elected to the United States Senate. Hav- ing won the democratic primary contest in her state over six male opponents. there seems to be nothing left but the shouting. In Arkansas when the democrats nominate candidate for office. they also elect him or her. as the case may be. There are no halfway methods out there. The demo- crats rule the roost and don't mind growing about it, either The late Thaddeus Cara way went to Congress via the House of Representatives in 1913. He continued in that capacity until 1921 when he graduated to the Senate. There he remained until his untimcly death this year. His successor was his wife by gubernatoriaf appointment and wish of the electorate of Arkansas
 Inasmuch as her nomination is tanta- mount to election in November. it is not amiss to congratulate the nations first woman senator tonight. Strictly speaking. she isn't the first woman senator, as some years ago Mrs Rebeeea Fenton succeeded her husband in the Senate upon his death. Her appointment was more Of less a suberna- iorial courtesy and she actually held the office less than twenty.four hours. II we afen't mistaken. she did not even participate in q Senate session. Nevertheless. she is honored as our first woman senator in name at least. Mrs Caraway has been more than tbst.

The American Federation of. Labor IS after those American brewers, or wou.d-be brewers who are buying up barrels in Ger many and France in anticipation of the re- turn of legalized beer. Some weeks ago brewer announced that every month ship ments of barrels were being made to this country. Far-sighted individuals .were buy ing now at cheap prices and would store their barrls until they had something to put into them. Purchase of such foreign made articles will be denounced by the American Federation of Labor It might not be bad idea to give American barrel makers the trade. Certainly they can't violate the spirit of the dry laws by making containers for beer

shin g t on-Overwhelming sentiment through the middle wert for the St Lawrence water way is likely to lead to ratifica- ton of the American Canadian treaty, although there is enough opposition to asure real fight and to prevent ratification from being a certainty. Large eastern seaports such as New York, Philadelphia and Bal timore have little liking for the proposed seaway to link the Great Lakes with the Atlantic trade routes. Chicago and St Louis will insist on greater diversion of water from Lake Michigan for the Lakes-tQ- Gulf waterway than Is allowed by treaty.

 Expect Business Boom
 This nucleus of protest, Ahow- ever, is in sharp contrast with the general sentiment through the area which expects a great bus mess boom when it's agricultural and manufactured products can be shipped out to the. world from ocean ports'' on the lakes.
 Farmers who expect to have their costs of grain shipment re- duced 2 to- 12 cents bushel by the seaway while railroads arc forced to cut rates to meet the cdAnp petition, cities which >antici- pate enormous expansion and new importance, the surrounding states which look for huge regional economic development and those interested in the 5,600.00 horse power which the river would be made to provide are not disposed to listen to criticism of the project.
 Although. the opposing groups are nearly all primarily concerned with the, possibled worse effects of the seaway. on their own inter- ests, they are likely to unite in branding the development as a great expenditure which will not achieve proportionate results;

 Opponents Point to Cost
 Professor Harold G. Mou1ton of the Brookings institution here headed an exhaustive survey of the waterway project and it's possibili- ties and reported that 1t would not be justified on economic grounds. The volume which he and his as- sistants produced on the subject is likely to be used as a textbook by the opponents, and its conclu- sions will be, considered by the senate foreign relations commit tee when 1t begins its hearings.
 Moulton says the 27-foot chan mel scheme would cost $999,00O.- 900. about three times the cost of the Panama Canal, of which $614,000,0OO would be for riavi- gation and the rest for power.
 The 27-foot channel, he con- tends, would. limit use to vessels of the coastwise type and the smaller transaceanic freighters, whereas a 33-foot minimum depth would be needed for first class cargo steamers. '3 He doubts whether such first class steamers would do much business, in the waterway, how ever. owing to the problem of em-

ploying them otherwise during the five months the waterway would not be open to navigation,

 Cites Overhead Costs
 The survey estimated that the waterway would not handle more than 1O,500,000 tons of traffic a years, that about 60 per cent of it would be grain--two-thirds Canadian--and the rest largely fertilizers, sugar. oil, coal and pig iron and that the annual overhead cost would be about $40,000, ,000 out of the treasuries of the United States and Canada. '
 It declares that grain exports from this country will dwindlc toward insignificance in the next 20 years.
 It will cost taxpayers $3.50 a ton to. move cargoes through the waterway, Moulton claims, equiv aient to II cents a bushel on wheat, which probably would then be moved from, Duluth to Montreal at cents a bushe1. While grain rates might be cut 4 cents a bushei, he says, the tax- payers would have to contribute Il cents a bushel to accomplish that reduction.

 For that reason the sproprietors of the independent barbershopS of Waterbury want to call your at- tenti0n to- the efforts of the Wa terbury barber's union to close us up on the grounds that we operate unsanitary barber shops.
 Let. me call the attention of those who are fed this form of propa- ganda that the, real reasons is that we will not join the union because we believe that there are hundreds of people in Waterbury who cannot afford to pay the prices that dre charged by the union barbers, and because we believe that this is a free country, and that everyone has the right to work for living as long as 1t is legal and honest. Even the fact that we are in the midst of the worst depression in the history of the country has no weight on these avaricious barbers. who like Shylock demand their pound of flesh whether the poor are able to pay their price or not.
 They are not satisfied with hog ging tho bulk of the business, but want to hog it all. Angelo Pos senate, secretary of the barber's union is said to have gone on rec ord by saying that he will close all the ibarbers in this city and with that in view has called upon Dr Godfrey. health officer to put them out of business. .-
 If such groups as the barber union are allowed to dictate to the authorities what they shall or shall not do, then there is no longer freedom or liberty In Waterbury

U. S. Runs One Two in 400"
Final; Crowd Boos Finn's
Tactics in the 5000"

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6
(IN.S.).-The Olympic games
today completed its first week
of competition and. moved
triumphantly into the final
seven days.
Americans were in the lead
in both the decathlon, the COM
posite track and field cham
pionship, and the pentathlon,
described as the standard for
measuring the finest soldier in
the world.
BY placing "one-two" in the
400-meter final, the United States
continued to pile up it's unofficial
point total, with 3101a. Italy. with
104I2, moved into second place
ahead Of France with SO. Finland
with 72 came up to fourth place.
New Champions
New crowned Olympic cham
pions were:
400 meters: William Carr,
United States, 1872 (new Olym-
pic and new worlds record.
5000 meters: Lauri Lehtinen,
Finland, 1890 new Olympic
record.
Scared on the memory of the
crowd of $4,000 in the Olympic
stadium yesterday we're those two
races-the 400, which settled the
dispute between East and West
when Carr, the Pennsylvania,
bested Ben Eastman, the Stan
ford flash, by six feet; and the
5000 meters, which brought forth
the first serious squabble of the
games.
"BOOS" Are Heard
Ralph Hill, the lean Oregon
lad. ran a gallant race and there
were many in the stands who
thought that Lehtinen, by shift
ing his lane several times in the
home stretch, robbed the Ameri-
can of victory. "Boos'' were
heard for the first time in the
stadium, but both Hill and the
American officials decided not to
protest the final results.

.SEARCHER5

WILMINGTON. Del, Aug. 6
GNSO Belief that Mrs. Libby
Holman Reynolds, indicted with
Alb Walker for the murder of her
husband, Smith Reynolds, was in
seclusion at the home of Mrs.
John King Jenney, near here, was
shattered this afternoon.
Much to the surprise of Sheriff
Irving j. Hollingsworth, of New
Castle county; three deputies,
and Lieutenant Bush, of the
county police, the Jenney home
was deserted and closed. The
searching party entered the house,
but could find no one.
HollingSWorth, who had been
asked by Sheriff Transou Scott,
of Winston-Salem, to arrest the
one-time Broadway torch-singer,
informed Scott of his results. He
wired:
"Jenny home at MOntchanin
closed for some time. Made

KIN
KILLS SHARK

MAS SAU, Bahamas, Aug. 6
G.N.SD The narrow escape OF
George Vanderbilt, 20-year-old son
of the late Alfred Gwynne Van
derbilt. in a battle with man
eating sharks off the Bahamas
was revealed here today.
Vanderbilt, whose father was
drowned in the sinking of the
Lusitania in 1915, is engaged on
a deep-sea fishing and motion pic
ture expedition in the West Indies
with Paul BurreSs. well-knoWn out
door guide and writer.
The expedition was filming a
feature picture of deep-sea life.
Vanderbilt was standing on a tri-
pod in ten feet of water when a
shark made for him.
He was dragged off the tripod
by the shark, which was shot and
killed in the nick of time.
A short while later, Vanderbilt
dived in the water while his
brother and Burress filmed an
underwater battle with the sea
monster. Armed only with a
knife, Vanderbilt grappled with
the animal and succeeded in
striking a death blow on the first
attempt.

CINCINNATI, Aug. (I.N.S.)
Libby will give herself up
willingly.
But she will not be dragged
into a Jail cell like hunted
criminal.
"She is innocent, and when
she goes to trial, she will prove
it.
But she is not well. She
needs strength to face that ter
rible ordeal"
Such were the statements today
of Mrs. Marion Kahn, older sister
of Libby Holman. when inter
viewed at her pretty white cot
tage in Wyoming, a Cincinnati
suburb.
She refused to answer the ques-
ton:
"Where is Libby nOw?"
She would not confirm the re-
port that the Broadway singer
was expecting a child.
RumorS spread rapidly as to
the hiding place of Libby.
From an authoritative source,
it was learned that Libby will be
taken incognita to Winston-Salem
But not until her family consid-
ers the time opportune.
Meanwhile, however, an ex'
