Pigeonhole Seaway

The st. Lawrence seaway treaty will
remain pigeonholed until after cleo
ton, despite the clamor Of the grange
and other interests that want to force
vote in the senate.
President Roosevelt knows 1t is i'm
possible to obtain two-thirds ma
jority in favor of the treaty from the
present senate, unless there are at
least half dozen changes Of heart
on the part of individual senators, and
that is not likely in the near future
certainly not before election.
The President is very strongly in
favor Of the project, although his in
terest is not actually in the seaway
phase of the plan, which is what gives
it its impetus in the Middle West
and Northwest, but in the electric
power phase. The Presidents heart
yearns for more governmentally owned
electric generation plants.
The bitter opposition to the plan, on
the other hand, has no connection
whatever with the privately owned
electric interests. 1t has to do entire
ly with the seaway phase. 1t comes
from states which have ports-and
railroads leading to those ports
which might be hurt by the diversion

An "over-the-back fence sensation
was created today when names Of

closed, and many housewives
learned their next door neighbors
purportedly had taken the blood
oath" with a revolver pointed at
their hearts and had worn the
black-hooded robes of the secret
cult.
More than 80 names were dis
closed and it was believed scores
more, possibly as many as 300,
would be announced later by po-
lice.

An unidentified man is going

off as an intimate friend and

O'Neill, of the sports department

He has been using his alleged
friendship with O'Neill as a
means of gaining the confidence
of people in the sports world and
in private life. He has attempted
to pass checks, at least one OF
which was worthless. Another of
his lodges is to claim close
