! tween police methods in England
and America is apparent in the
popular attitude toward the po
lice in both countries.
The English bobby" although
thoroughly respected by crimi
mails, is regarded everywhere in
the friendliest possible light. He
is unarmed, but there has only
been one notable case in the last
10 years of a policeman being
slain.
In this country, on the other
hand, the cop" is exchanging his
role as protector of the law for
one of 'tough guy" and murderer.

TREATY To COST
CANADA LESS

OTTAWA, July 19 GNSo.
Sharp reduction in the estimated
cost to Canada of the St. Law
renee deep waterway was an.
nounced at the prime minister's
office today, following announce
ment that the Canadian-Amerl-
can treaty for the project had
been signed in Washington.
= A revised estimate places the
total cost attributable to Canada
at $33,838,500 for the waterway,
in place of the earlier estimate
of $38,071 500.
The revision was cast on the
assumption that a guard lock at
BeauharnoiS will be unnecessary
The American expenditures on
the waterway are estimated here
at $243,661,000
Credited with $128.O00,00O al
ready expended on the Welland
Canal, the Dominion'S allotment
Of expenditures is: Required in
international Rapids section for
property damages, rehabilitation
works, and the lock navigation
canal at Chrysler Island, $22,320.-
600. plus $82,954 900 for locks and
canals in the Canadian section
in the Province Of Quebec.
The Dominion is credited with
67.2O2,50O paid by Ontario to
the Federal Government on
works in the international &C.
ton. These figures do not n
clude power house machinery or
equipment necessary for poTcr
development in the international
section.

NEW YORK, July 19 GN.SO.-
The killing of Hyman Stark re-
moves the last vestige of doubt
from the minds of a hitherto in
credulous public. Brutal third de-
gree methods are used by the po
lice. This can no longer be de-
MED.
The fatal results of these Tor
ture methods, what is more, may
often have been concealed, as the
Mineola police tried to conceal
the death of Stark, as the guards
of Sunbeam prison camp in Jack
sonville, Fla, tried to conceal the
torture death of Arthur Maille-
fert; as Capt. P. H. Randall, su
perintendent of the Spalding
county road camp. in Georgia,
tried to conceal the recent killing
OF j. T. LaSsiter, negro convict.
by reporting it as death from sun
stroke. after, it is charged, he had
beaten the man to death with a
club.
Growing Horror Record
1t is a fast-growing record of hor-
ror, quite as prejudicial to this
country in the eyes of the world
as the criminal element these
crimes are committed to sup
press.
On Friday last a brutal assault
was committed Oh a woman in
RoSlyn Heights. Long Island. She
was robbed and beaten by four
men, who were almost immedi
ately caught. Their punishment
would have been a severe one and
public indignation was strongly
against the aSSailants.
But the victim of the assault
was the mother of a policeman,
and because of that, a further
crime has been committed which
has evidently turned public SYM
pathy away from the police and
inclined it toward the thugs.
MiScarried Justice

killing a prisoner by beating him
with rubber hose and breaking

example of how flagrant a mis-.
carriage of justice this ready

BAT TIE FACED
BY PACT FOR
WATERWAY
Treaty Must Run Gamut in
Canada as Well as U. S.;
Borah to Speed Quiz

The treaty signed by Canada
and the United States for
building of the gigantic st
Lawrence ship route must run
the gamut in both nations be-
fore the project to open the in
terror of the two countries to
ocean liners can be realized.
Although President Hoover and
his aides haled the completion Of
the treaty as a forward step for
both nations, rumblings of oppo-
sition which may provoke bitter
fights were heard today.
Obstacles Faced
Obstacles in the path of con-
summation of the treaty. for
which agricultural interests in
both nations have been fighting
for years, are:
Opposition of the Province of
Quebec, particularly business in
terests which fear the port of
Montreal would be adversely af-
tested
Demand in this country, par.
ticularly in New York, for an
all-American waterway from
Lake Erie to New York city.
Financing the project, with
both Canada and the United
States troubled with high tax
alton and heavy government
expenditures; the total esti-
mated cost is $543,429, 900, of
which the United States would
pay $257,992,0OO.
Power Issue to Fore
The power issue, with New
York State demanding the right
to develop a vast publlc-owned
power system.
The problem of water diver.
sion from Lake Michigan for
the Chicago drainage canal
and the Illinois waterway prof.
ect.
The negotiators who drew the
treaty believed they had this last
problem settled by providing the
maximum diversion permitted
under the United States Supreme
Court decision. which United
States Army engineers said would
be sufficient for the needs of the
Illinois waterway route.
C-Anl n,,S-
Little time will be lost in or
ganizing the Senate Foreign Re
lation of the treaty, it was de-
clared today by Senator Borah
(RD of Idaho, chairman. He said:
81 expect to name a SubcOm-
mittee of five or seven mem
bers within the next 48 hours.
"The investigation will be
thorough. We plan to inquire
especially into three phases of
the treaty; the hydrO-electric
power question in general, this
question with special relation
to the rights of New York
State, and the Chicago drain
age question.

assume, and possibly New York"

N. Y. Senator Sees Jobs for
No Fewer Than 100000 If
Relief Plan Is Pushed

Declaring that nearly 2,000,-
600 persons can be provided
with jobs under the $2,122,-
100000 relief bill, Senator
Wagnes (D.) Of New York
today called on the Recon
struction Finance Corporation
to speed distribution of the
vast fund.
The measure was on President
Hoover's desk for signature today.
Already demands for funds under
the bill are before the R. F.. c.
Nearly $1,800,00O,0O0 of the
fund is provided to finance prof.
ectS which will employ labor, in.
Guiding highways, rivers and har.
bors, slums removal, housing
projects, and similar works.
Should Start at Once
Under the terms of the measure,
funds will be loaned to States,
cities, and other political subdi-
visions, public corporations, and
limited dividend housing corpora
tions for projects which will pay
for themselves.
Senator Wagner said:
"PrOject. providing employ
ment on a large scale should be
started in a very short time
This depends somewhat upon
how vigorously the finance
corporation and public agencies
push the relief program.
'The work would be spread
as far as possible by the pro-
vision requiring the 3O-hOur
week to be used on all projects.
although the amount pro-
vided is the very minimum Of
what the Federal Government
should do, think it will help
tremendously"
Tenement Project
Wagner said he had been in.
formed that low-rent tenement
dwellings would be carried out in
New York to the extent of $20,,
100000 as soon as they can be
financed.
Although a provision was in.
cluded in the bill requiring the
Secretary of the Treasury TO
certify that he has funds or that
they can be obtained as a part
of current financing operations
before much of the public works
program can be undertaken.
|. Wagner said little discretion is
actually given.

&0N.S.). Characterizing the
police "third degree" as a
"blot upon the administration
of criminal law in this coun-
try" District Attorney Elvin
N. Edwards, in an interview
today, declared he would leave
mo stones unturned in prose-
-cuting whoever was responsible
for the brutal death of Hylnan
Stark, 20-year-old suspect. who
was fatally beaten while in
custody at the Mineola police
headquarters.
Edwards said:
"The men who killed Stark
are no less murdererS because
they are police officers. I have
= no doubt Stark met death at
g. the hands of the police. What
we are trying to do now, with
out any delay, is to determine
who are the guilty"
Pals Cite Brutality
Thirteen Nassau county patrol
men and detectives have been
suspended and four are being
held as material witnesses as
result of the public inquiry be-
fore Supreme Court Justice
Meier Steinbrink into Stark's
death. The inquiry was climaxed
when Stark's three fellow-suspects
took the stand, one after
another, and told of beatings
with a rubber hose, blows with
t.fists and feet. blackjacks, a hoe
and heavy ledger.
Stark and his fellow-Suspects
were arrested last Friday charged
with having robbed and beaten
the mother of Detective Joseph
Hizenski at her home in RoS-
lyn. Edwards yesterday charged
that there was a pilot" among
Nassau County police to have Hi
.zenski take the rap" for Stark's
death. Stark was questioned for
eight hours. Then he was rushed
to a hospital where he died 20
minutes later.
Prisoners Accuse 10

to show that the assaults upon
Stark and the others had been
committed by one or two men at
the most, the prisoners pointed
out eight detectives and two pa
trolmen they said had taken part
I'm the beatings.
: The district attorney said the
investigation as far as he Is con.
cerned will take precedence over
everything else. All the facts will
be brought to light, he declared,
and added:
"The third degree has no
Z place in the administration Of
!! criminal justice. The third de.
