MILLIONS TO BE SPENT
ON DEEPENING CHANNEL

Army engineers report that $6,175,-
900 would be spent this fiscal year in
deepening the channel of the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal.
TIL job of improving the old water
way, increasing the depth from IL to
81 feet and the width from 80 to 25O
feet, is "a per cent complete. The
engineers said it should be rady for
big ship traffic by July, 1888.
Five hundred and forty-five men
are now at work dredging the canal
Employment is expected to rise to a
maximum of 5000 with the work at
it's peak.
The ultimate cost of converting the
cid waterway into a wide, deepdraft
ship canal was estimated by Army
engineers at $14,OOO,OOO. An allot-
ment of $4,857,0OO from Emergency
Relief funds was made to start the
work. Subsequently, $4,7OO,OOO was
allocated from regular War Depart
ment funds, bringing the total thus

The present waiting rooms, both
white and colored, are to be enlarged
and remodeled, the increase in size
being cared for without actual en-
largement of the building by reduc-
ing the size of the working space in
side the ticket office. The toilets,
which are now located on the second
floor of the station building, will be
brought down and placed adjacent to
the waiting roms. A further improve
ment will be the placing of a ticket
window on the freight runway for the
convenience of automobile tourists
travel.
At the conclusion of the remodeling
work it is understood that the inter-
iors of the rooms and offices will be
refinished and painted.
The present authorized appropria-
ton will take care of all the above
improvements and it is understood
that a further appropriation will be
authorized which will permit further
improvement of all the facilities at

September II, 1885.
After stealing an automobile, in

Of gasoline and then asked for quart
of oil. While Nutter was bending ov-

the negroes put revolver to his back
and demanded that he turn over to
them all money in his possession and

Nutter suddenly jumped back and,
although the negro fired several times
he succeeded in getting back to his
station and, Selling a shot gun, began
to return the fire. The negroes be-
coming panic stricken, abandoned
their car and fled in the darkness.
They succeeded in reaching the rail-

EASTERN SHORE MEN
TRAVEL MILES ON BOAT

Two young men from the Eastern
Shore, who have travelled 265 miles
in a 14-foot sailboat on Chesapeake
bay, are camped on the Casino
grounds, Newport News, undecided
what to do or where to go next.
They are Ralph Johnson, of Oman
cock and Revell Nelson, of Accomac.
The pair left Onancock September
8, sailed up the bay to Barren Island
in their tiny craft, then across to Sol
onions, Md, and from there back down
the bay to Norfolk and over to New
port News.
The trip took 10 days.
They put into shore each night and
pitched camp for their boat is hardly
big enough to hold them and their
equipment.
A reporter found their pup tent set
up on the north end of the Casino
grounds recently. There was an open
fire near by over which they were
preparing supper-hamburgers, apple
sauce and coffee.
They brounght out a log of their
trip.
The second days entry, that for
September 5, read as follows:

said Nelson. Gar as I know, they

on the seaside of Eastern Shore. Not
even on the bayside."
Nelson, who did most of the talking
while Johnson was frying hamburgers
said they didn't have any trouble with
the storm last week. They beached
their boat in the Rappahanonck river
and let it blow over.
The boat did sink on them once,
however. That was two Sundays ago
at Bluff Point near Kilmarnock, while
they we're on their way down the
bay. They hit a big wave, their an

YOUNG CHURCHILL
 REVIVES GOSSIP

New York, Sept. 23.-|UP)-So- ciety gossips saw in 8 cup of tea today sign that Sarah Churchill, red-haired daughter of British Win ston Churchill, may yet win family approval of a marriage to Vic Oliver, orchestra leader-comedian The tea was drunk by Miss Churchill's brother, Randolph, and by Miss Catherine Halle, daughter of . Cleveland department store owner. To those who follow such things, it wasn't necessary to con- suit any tea room gypsy to draw conclusions from the tea party.
 All that was necessary was to re- call thaht almost exactly five years ago Randolph'S mother came pre- cirdtately across the Atlantic to remove him from the vicinity of Miss Halle, virtually identically as Randolph has come to remonstrate with his sister. "Why, we're just good friends" Miss Halle said after Randolph had made the tea date. But the unofficial interpreters of the comings and goings of upper strata society predicted that Ram dolph would present henceforth only poor arguments against his sisters prospective alliance.

minutes later: it was nine minutes before Daniel was dead.
 Arthur Bannister tried to exoner- ate his brother in 8 last minute statement.
 "They shouldn't hang Daniel The said. T killed them all"
 Most RevOlting Crime
 Their crime, which became known as '"The Doll Baby Murders" was the most revolting in the history of this little community. The execu- tions were the first in 39 years.
 Daniel and Arthur were convicted, in separate trials, of shooting Lake to death and of cremating his body by burning down his home. Lakes common Jaw wife, Bertha Ring, was beaten to death with clubs as she rushed half naked from the burn- ing house. The couples 20-months- old son was permitted to die of exposure in the snow against the breast of his dead mother.
 Mother Convicted
 The mother of the executed youths was convicted before them and sentenced to serve three and a half years in the penitentiary for har- boring the stolen baby, Betty.
 Frances Bannister, 15-year-old sister of the hanged men, whose testimony did much to convict them will go on trial in few days for her part in the crime. The charge against her is Kidnapping.
 She was permitted to see her brothers just before they were hanged. They joked with her, hugged her, and told her to be 8 good girl. Then they wished her luck at her trial and kissed her good bye.

BISHOP CASSIDY
 IS MUCH ASHAMED

Fall River. Mass, Sept 23--(UP)- Action of three Catholic members of the Fall River police board in permitting Sunday operation of liquor establishments has caused the Most Rev. James E. Cassidy, Roman Catholic bishop of this dio- cese, to "bow his head in shame"
 The Fall River Ministerial asso- ciation previously protested the po- lice boards regulations.
 "The bishop of Fall River hears the protest of the Protestant clergy and bows his head in shame that Catholic men are instrumental in letting this thing go on," Bishop Cassidy said last night.
 Catholic officials, not content with permitting operation of 6 few licensed restaurants, threw the city wide open on Sunday. I am sadly disguested with the Catholic of- ficials of the city. I protest this descreation of the Sabboth."

MiddIetown, Sept. Ex-Governor Janes M. Curley and William Ram dolph Hearst were described as the greatest nenaces to freedom in the academic world by President James L. McConaughy in the matricula- ton address at the opening Of Wes- leyan university today. He also declared that there is more evidence of interference with freedom on the part of the states than on the part of the national government.
 During the course of his address, the Wesleyan president made a number of announcements regard ing the year. He stated that the enrolment this year equals that of last year. The freshman class shows an increase of 20, the sopho- more class an increase of 15; the senior class is much smaller than in 1856 when 143 were graduated, the largest class in the history of the college.
 Speaking of Freedom, President McConaughy said that it was a trite subject but the biggest problem fac- ing the world today.
 Internationally" he declared, @there is not much you and I can do to bring freedom back to a warning and jittery world, except to think about our own attitude to- ward war and peace, and to keep ourselves informed on daily events; there never was time when under graduates should read the daily pa- per more intently than now.
 'Nationally, people greatly differ about threats to freedom. The college campus will never be a place where all will support the same po- litical party, or have the same views on current questions. Freedom of thought and judgment are essential for learning. The biggest threat to such freedom is bigotry, unfairly endeavoring to impose our own views on others and denying, to

more than nine murders reported for each 100000 residents. In addi- tion. Those cities having an average of 2.3 police employees had 5l rob- berries and 313 offenses of burglary reported for each. 100000 as corn- pared with 93 robberies and 485 burglaries reported by cities with only 8 police employees. A similar trend with few exceptions was shown for other types of offenses.
 Other Conn. Averages
 Other Connecticut averages in Waterbury's population bracket were: Bridgeport IT, Hartford 2.5, and New Haven 2.5. Offenses known to Waterbury police from April to June, inclusive, 1936, were: robbery 3, burglary-breaking or entering 37; larceny-theft $50 and over, 6; under $50, 63; and auto thefts, 71. No charges of murder, rape or aggravated assault were re- ported by Waterbury's police during that period according to the survey.

 Police Commissioner Harry Minor and Deputy Superintendent of Po- lice Daniel J. Carson said the "G. Men" survey was undertaken every year and that police departments the country over furnish the data used to compile the report. Rarely, if ever, has the city attained such an impressive score in the matter of law enforcement, and the rehabili- tation and drastic changes effected in the police department in recent months were citey as probably the outstanding factors in the improve ment of the record. Superintendent William J. Roach was not available for. comment. He is attending the annual convention of the Interna- tional Police Chiefs Association at Kansas City.

drive. Arraigned in city court as an alleged frequenter of suspected house of ill fame, Thibotout won a discharge and was preparing to leave when he was halted by Patrolman Patrick Moylan of the vice squad. Shortly afterward he was taken into custody by an agent of the immigra- tion service, who took him to Hart ford.
 Wife, Seven Children
 According to Inspector Roland w.. Kennedy of the immigration service, the man is married and has seven children in Canada, whom he has not supported for sevearl years. Police records here show that Thi- botout has been arrested four times for residing in 8 house of ill fame and two additional times for keep ing a disorderly house. The first arrest was in 1926, two years after he had entered the country, and he has served sentence on at least one such charge.
 More May Be Deported
 Also subject to deportation is Mrs. Becky Schwartz, 42, of West Haven, charged with violation of the Mann act. She was released from jail when she posted $10,0o0 bond and few days later was arrested on an immigration warrant, obtaining release in bail of $1,000. The arrest of Thibotout and Mrs. Schwartz are the only ones to date on immigra- ton warrants. Forty-six persons have been arraigned on vice charges in Hartford and are await ing hearings early next month in United States district court in New Haven.

Hearst Menace To
 Academic Freedom
Wesleyan President Puts Governor Cmley in Same
 Category as School Opens

those who differ from us, honesty and sincerity. Academically-mind- ed people are usually conservative: they tend to oppose change. They looked on Jefferson as Red and a radical; one of his most vigorous denouncers was President Dwight of Yale. They though Lincoln was tampering with the Constitution. As far as recent events go, there is, l believe, more evidence of interfer- ence with freedom on the part of the staets than on the part of the national government. Although my own political convictions differ from those of the party in power, I am not as disturbed as many of my friends are about the apparent evi- dences of restraining individual freedom and rights. Certainly the contacts between the federal gov- ernment and the colleges have been free from this threat. It is, I think ladersr like Governor Curley and publicists like MT. Hearst who are today the greatest menaceS to free- dom in the academic world.
 "In the college itself there must be freedom of thought and freedom of expression. Mankind's knowl- edge has never been advanced when freedom has been curbed. Oxford and Cambridge nearly atrophied during the century when they op- posed investigation and when they denied admission of the Dissenters, whose religious and politcial views differed from those in authority at the universities"
 Paying tribute to Harvard 1ni- versity, President McConaughy said: Harvard has many claims to great- ness for her three centuries of ac. complishment, but none is more important than the spirit of free- dom and tolerance which she has attained. During her first century she had to achieve religious free dom, wcihh fortunately was guar anteed to Wesleyan by her original charter. President Eliot made his great contribution by opposing tra- ditionalism and conservatism. No university in the world today stands as a greater bulwark for freedom, than Harvard"

must split the straight vote for the Lemke- O'Brien ticket so that they can pull down the levers of either the democratic or the republican candidate for judge of probate.
