WORKS BOARD
HAS FLORIDA
CANAL PLANS
Secretary Ickes Silent on
u. S. Attitude Toward
125-Mile Project

WASHINGTON,-Aug. 16. (UP).
Construction of a s150,000,000
canal through Florida designed
to save 600 miles of travel for
ships in the coastwise trade to
ports in the Gulf of Mexico, was
under consideration today by
the public works administration.
Plans for the 125-mile canal
were submitted to Secretary of
Interior Ickes at a conference
yesterday with President Roose-
welt. Ickes referred the recon-
mendations to Deputy Public
Works Administrator Henry M.
Waite.
The canal would extend from
the Sewanee river to the ST..
Johns river. It's depth has not
been decided although Waite was
instructed to study either a rs
or 3O-foot channel with a series
of locks permitting deepening to
sc feet eventually.
Neither Ickes nor Waite would
reveal the administrations atti-
tude toward the revised proposal,
I but gave assurances it would re-
ceive careful consideration.
The administrator was told
that by charging reasonable
tolls, the canal would pay for
itself within 40 years.

HAVANA, Aug. lO.-NUf) -
A sensation was caused last
night by the filing of civil suits
against Gerardo MachadO, ban
ished president of the republic,
and members of his cabinet,
charging them with graft and

Chief of Police Anciart, and Jose
Izquierdo, former mayor OF Ha'
vana.
All were charged with embez,
element of. public funds, fraud
swindling, firing arms and assas-
sination. Suits were filed by
Jose Garcilasco de la Verga, a
lawyer, in the second section OF
the court of instructions in Ha-
vana. The court accepted the
action when de la Verga deposit
ed bond TO $500.
The suits followed revelations
in official quarters that Senator
VIBRATOR Gutierrez, a Machado
supporter, abroad since June,
had been paid a check for $780,
900 by the sugar export corpora
ton shortly before he left Cuba.
1t was reliably reported that
Gutierrez transferred this $780,
600 to a member of the MachadC
cabinet.
These revelations followed
word that Provisional President
Carlos Manuel de Crespedes was
considering an early adjustment
of Cuba's national indebtedness
held chiefly by large banks II

out the United States.
De Cespedes likewise issued
proclamation asking the citizen:

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. (UP).
The bitter feud between organ.
lied labor and a faction of the
nations great industralists FLAIR
ed anew today when leaders of
the steel industry refused to
confer with Secretary of Labor
Perkins in the presence of Will
liam Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor.
Steel Representatives, includ-
ing Eugene Grace, president Of
the Bethlehem Steel corporation,
and w. X. Irwin of the U. s.
Steel corporation. arrived at the
labor department to discuss hours
and wage statistics with Secre-
tary Perkins. They came at her
invitation.
Green told newspapermen he
had gone to the conference as
steel advisor of the labor ad-
visory board.
General Hugh S. johnson fac
ed a barrage of questions at his
press conference a little later.
"What do you intend to do
about the steel leaders snubbing
! Green, your representative at the
steel conference?" he was ask
ed. ...-
Nothing" johnson snapped.
"Mr. Green was not at the con-
ference as steel advisor of the
labor advisory board. Miss Per-
kins is acting in that capacity.
1t is Miss Perkins party. Let
her tell about it,"
In her announcement Of the
days conference, Miss Perkins
made no mention of the incident.
She said simply that an effort
was being made to reconcile fig
ures on hours, wages and en-
employment gathered both by the
steel industry and by labor de-
partment executives. 49,.
Last night a statement was Is
sued in behalf of Johnson saying
he had discovered that Green was
official advisor after all, having
been appointed July 81 by Chair
man Leo Wolman Of the labor ad-
visory board. The statement gave
no indication what action Johnson
might take, though recognition of
Green's official standing gave add
ed Importance to the refusal Of
the steel men to confer with him.

Ohio LAWYER
POISONS four
IN AUTOMOBILE
Bodies Found After Car
Crashes at Roadside
in Arkansas

HOT SPRINGS. Ark, Aug. 16.
CUP).-Mark H. Shank. Akron,
Ohio, attorney, admitted today
that he poisoned a man. his wife
and their two children because
the man "knew too much" about
a court case.
An automobile with the dead
man at the wheel, the dead wom-
an by his side and two dead chill
dren in the rumble seat crashed
into a fence last night near Nal
vern.
Passing motorists ran to the
scene and made a gruesome dis
covery. A man and a woman sat
erect in the front seat. both dead.
Three children sat in the rumble
seat, two Of them dead and the
third, boy of about four years,
unframed. The sixth passenger, a
man, fled as the passersby ap-
preached. and hid himself in near
by woods.
The four persons obviously died
of poisoning. They were not even
scratched in the wreck.
Authorities were called to the
scene. A posse was organized and
bloodhounds put on the trail of
the man who fled. He was tracked
down and captured; he told police
his name was Mark H. Shank, an
attorney of Akron, Ohio.
He said the dead persons were
Allen Cooley, his wife, Ethel Coo
ley, and their sons, Clement AMI
Clyde, 7 and 10 years old respec-
lively, all of Akron.
Faces of the victims were dis.
torted. indicating that they did
in agony. Doctors made cursory
examination and said they had
been poisoned with strychnine.
The four-year-old survivor, the
third son of the dead couple, told
police "Mama and and Papa ate
some meat after | told them not
to touch it, because | saw Mr.,
Shank put something in it."
Millar Halbert. prosecuting at
torney at Malvern. told the United
Press that Shank had made fam
tastic confession.
Shank'S story was this, accord
ing to Halbert:
Shank's law firm, in Akron, was
employed by some "big shot" to
protect him from court case that
was pending against him. Shank's
firm hired Cooley to get some pa
pers in the case from the Akron
prosecuting attorney. by amy
hook or crook"
Cooley got the papers, and Ak
ron authorities were "hot on his
trail" so he decided to leave
town. He came to Hot Springs, a
health resort. and brought his
wife and three children along.
Then Shank grew worried for
fear that Cooley would talk"
Last Sunday Shank came to Hot
Springs. seeking a way to dispose
of Cooley.
All six of them set out from
Hot Springs for an automobile
tour of the countryside, visiting
several towns in this vicinity. Yes
terday they passed through Nal
vern and stopped at a store to
get some cold food, to eat on the
road. 1t included potted meats
and grape juice.
1t was in this food that the
four persons were said to have
received the poison. :.
Sheriff T. S. Fisher and MS
deputies took Shank several miles
up the road last night, to where
the dinner was said to have been
eaten. and the sheriff found rem
nants of meat and grape juice
bottle. The sheriff also brought
back some crystals. which he san
"resembled poison" He SAID he
found them near the meat.
