FRENCH TO PUT RAILWAY OVER SAHARADESERT Giant Project Would Open Fertile African Land to Farming. By United Preen PARIS, Dec. 15.—Projected construction of a railway across the Sahara desert from the Mediterranean to the Niger, designed to open up the rich interior of Africa, a scheme dating back almost as far as the invention of the steam engine, will be one of the first proposals considered when the present French cabinet crisis is ended. The plan has the approval of 228 members of the chamber of deputies. The railway would be entirely French. owned and operated privately, but with the financial and political favor of the government. The railroad would require ten years to build and would cost 2,200,000,000 franco. Forty Tears to Pay , Financing the work over ten years would add another 800,000,000 francs In Interest. Even the most optimistic experts predict that, in its first years, the railroad would earn but 70,000,000 trancs annually. At that rate It , would take forty years to pay for > itself, but, in the meantime, the ) interest charges would eat up the i earnings. 1 The real value of the railroad would come, not from the earnings from transport of freight and pas- ' cengers, but from the agricultural | and mining development of the ! heart, of the Sahara, already popuj lated by six million people with j their rich flocks and herds. Would Follow Niger I For nearly 1,000 miles the railj road would follow the Niger from Segou and Niamey. Engineers be- ! lieve that all the surplus popula- : tion of Europe could be accommo--1 dated easily there, to turn rich ‘ waste land into productive farms. The French parliament voted -4.000,000 francs for preliminary suri veys and a parliamentary consultatory committee has reported 1 favorably on the project. It is estimated that 2,000,000 of the 6,000,000 inhabitants of the desert will benefit by the construction of the railway. Tire backers vision great cotton and wheat farms, making France independent of America for her cotton, grain and meats. Receiver for Fair 'By Times Special SHELBYVILLE, Ind.. Dec. 'ls.

MOTHER KILLS GIRL, SELF ON WEDDING EVL Bride’s Bouquet of Roses Is Transformed Into Funeral Piece. By United Press DENVER, Colo., Dec. 15.—The bunch of roses that was to have been Helen Hldinger’s bridal bouquet today became her funeral piece, instead. While she slept, just a few hours before she was to have been married Sunday to Earl Penna, Miss Hidinger, 21, was shot and killed by her mother, Mrs. Genia Powant, 48. who then committed suicide. Mrs. Powant had opposed her daughter’s engagement since it was announced, other members of the family said. The wedding originally had been scheduled for Christmas week, but Helen told her family Saturday that the plans had been changed and she would be married Sunday. Edward Powant, husband of Mrs. Powant, and his two daughters, Christine and Florence, were in an adjoining room, eating breakfast, when the shots were fired. They mistook them for the backfire of an automobile. Tl.e husband said he believed news of advancing the wedding date had caused Mrs. Powant to become temporarily deranged. Unaware that his fiance was dead, Penna, who is 22, arrived at the Prowant home early Sunday afternoon. A few minutes later a florist delivered what was to have been the bridal bouquet. $300,000 YACHT BURNS Vessel Still Afire Twenty-four Holts After It Starts.
