COST IS RIDDLE IN GIANT WATER ROUTE PROJECT Where Millions Will Come From Is Question That Vexes U. S., Canada. This is the fifth of * series on possibilities of the St Laurence waterway. BY WALKER STONE Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. How much will it cost to link the Great Lakes to the Atlantic, extend ocean commerce into the heart of the North American continent, and electrify the St. Lawrence river? Whence will come the money? Who will derfve the benefits, if any. and who will suffer the losses, if any? The first question, on its face, is elementary and subject to the supposedly exact estimates of engineers. Yet, after years of agitation and almost a decade of surveys, engineers are almost a half billion dollars apart in the answer. The joint board of engineers, representing the Canadian and United States governments, fixed the cost at $543,000,000. including several projects already completed. Independent engineers have said the coit will be almost double that amount. No Answer on Money The second question is one of vital importance, particularly at a time when Americans and Canadians are groaning under 'tax burdens and the national treasury of this country is radically out of balance. But as yet no satisfactory answer hav been found. The third question touches the economic life of 40.000.000 people. This gigantic project, vast in its physical proportions, is still more tremendous in the change it promises—or threatens—to make in commerce and industry. The trade map of a continent ran not be rearranged without affecting vitally the lives of all the people. Yet economists are as far apart as the poles in their opinions as to probable consequences. It is to canvass these problems and many others that the Borah subcommittee of the senate will hold hearings on the St. Lawrence treaty through the late summer and fall. Cost Estimates Differ The subcommittee will not have to start from scratch, but it will have the more difficult chore ol separating facts from propaganda and reconciling conflicting interests and claims. The joint board of engineers, in its report of 1926, estimated the total cost of the project at $543,429,000. The actual cost should be substantially lower under prevailing prices, said the statfe department, in its recent announcement of treaty terms. Total cost will be near $999,000,000, said Dr. Harold G. Moulton, president of Brookings Institution, in a book published in 1929. Besides adding 20 per cent to all the joint board's estimates, Dr. Moulton included an estimate of $250,000,000 as probable cost of improving lake harbors and port facilities to accommodate ocean vessels. "It, has been estimated that the values in a single year to the farmers alone would equal the capital cost of the waterway.” wrote Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover in a report to President Coolidge in 1926. Hoover Claims Benefits "The waterway probably will require ten years for completion, during which time normal growth of traffic in the nation will far more than compensate for any diversions from American railways and other American port facilities,” said President Hoover when he described the signing of the treaty as "the redemption, of a promise which I made to the people of the midwest.” But the taxpyers are the class which must shoulder burdens, instead of enjoy benefits, in the opinion of Dr. Moulton. Computing the capital investment at $1,000,000,000. and the annual cost —representing interest, depreciation, maintenance and operation —at $40,000,000, the Brookings economist wrote: "They are to be paid out of the national treasuries of the two governments—which means that the taxpayers are to contribute about $3.50 a ton for the benefit of such shippers as would use the route. "Since grain constitutes more than 60 per cent of the total traffic, this commodity may be used to illustrate the fallacy in the argument that the Canadian and American people as a wholp would realize great economic advantages from the St. Lawrence project. Burden on Taxpayers "The overhead charges of $3.50 a ton are the equivalent of about 11 cents a bushel. . . . The inclusive cost of transporting wheat over the St. Lawrence waterway from Duluth to Montreal would be 5 cents—the actual water rate—plus 11 cents subsidy contributed by taxpayers, a total of about 16 cents a bushel. "Existing wheat rates average 9 cents a bushel from Duluth to Montreal. and from Chicago to New York about 11.3 cents a bushel. Reductions in grain rates would be, at the most 4 cents a bushel. "Thus, to effect a reduction of 4 cents a bushel in the*cost of moving grain, taxpayers in general would have to contribute approximately 11 cents a bushel. “The conclusion therefore is inescapable that the proposed 27foot navigation project can not be justified on economic grounds.” Dr. Moulton's arithmetic and economics were ridiculed by proponents of the waterway. But he could make a much stronger argument now. The freight on a bushel of grain from Duluth to Montreal was 9 cents in 1929, but it has been about half that this season. Operators of Great Lakes vessels say ocean vessels could not compete with present rates. The island of Ceylon, with an area about the size of West Virginia, has a population estimated at 5,500.000.

EVA TANGUAY DOES CARE NOW

But Refrain of Famous Song Yet Haunts Theater Fans

Here she comes, there she goes . . . dizzy, mad-paced Eva Tanguay! . . . Old-time theater-goers clutched the arms o£ their seats. Prudes fled up the aisles. People-about-town app.auded. Here was the most amazing performer of her generation . . . In three articles, of which this is the first, Gilbert Swan gets out his verbal telescope and traces this mad-cap's meteoric flight across the theatrical firmament. BY GILBERT SWAN NEA Serviee Writer NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—Fortysix years ago, almost to the day, an 8-year-old child waited timidly at the side door of Parsons hall in Holyoke, Mass. She had heard that amateurs were allowed to appear on the stage twice a week. She had made secret and elaborate preparations for this moment. And when finally she

faced the theatrical man, he first grinned, then chuckled, and finally broke into a laugh. For never had he seen a more grotesque costume than this little girl was wearing. It was made of a large and well-w'orn parasol. A hole had been cut in

Eva Tanguay shocked them with her “Salome" (at left), thrilled them with the fantastic costumes (as at right) in which she sang her “I Don’t Care’’ song, and seldom was pictured in the demure pose in which you see her (in center) in a youthful portrait. Even when her vision had so failed that she one night fell from the stage into the orchestra pit, her “public” still was demanding that she continue to be the mad, eccentric character she had created.

"I made it myself,” proudly piped the child. “My mother helped me—but she didn’t know what it was for. We’re too poor to have any clothes in the house, so I went into the garret and got this.

They insisted that her voice was irritating, but that she could dance. tt a a TO this day no band can play “I Don’t Care” or “Nothing Ever Bothers Me” w'ithout a certain ripple of applause coming from old-timers whose memories turn back. Just a few months ago, at the Palace theater in New York, Miss Tanguay was spotted in the crowd by a young master of ceremonies who asked her to rise and take a bow’. The orchestra tuned up on: “I Don’t Care” and then came such thunderous applause that managers visioned a great come-back tour. But Eva Tanguay was breaking in health. Her last tour w'as with an “old timer’s” w r eek program sent on the circuit? by Fanchon and Marco. She then was close to blindness, as she had been for many years. And she W’as all but broke.

poverty row r for some time. Yes, in those $3,500-a-week days Eva had saved quite a bit of her money. She had invested much of it in California property. She became “property poor,” w’ith taxes and assessments to face. More money had been spilled into the market. Time had taken its toll on a physique which once had seemed indestructible and charged with an incredible nervous energy. r a tt a LONEY HASKELL, veteran of the vaudeville boards, sat back and recalled how. Eva had taken great pride in her muscularity. “She always came around and insisted that we feel her arms and biceps.” he related. “And was she strong! One time she became annoyed at something and drove her fists right through the scenery. There was a dickens of a fuss raised over that.” But Eva w'as always doing things like that, it seemed. She had adopted the role of “crazy” and “eccentric,” and she carried it on. No one pretended to guess what she would do next. Whatever it was. the public expected temperament and uncurbed explosions. Alw'ays came the refrain, “I Don’t Care.” And a good pose w’hile it lasted. But Eva Tanguay did care. She cared enough to w’ork tirelessly. She cared when that day came W’hen her face had to be lifted. , She cared w'hen, on a winter’s night about a year ago. she w'as working in a small and obscure night club on a Brooklyn side street—far from the glamorous picture in which she w’as once framed. Her act w r as tossed in with a $1.25 dinner. \ nun SHE cared on that tragic night in a vaudeville house, when her voice started breaking. On another evening she cared when, cataracts obscuring her vision, she was' led to the stage only to misjudge her distance and fall into the orchestra pit. Someone in the house, w'ho didn’t know' her tragedy of approaching blindness, remarked: “Oh, she's probably a little drunk.” But most of all she cared because she never could live dow'n the mad personality she had created when she first sang, “I Don’t Care.” Time and again she tried to escape that song and the label that went w'ith it. She could no more erase it from her life than a sailor can remove a tattoo design which embarrasses him in later years. Amusingly enough, Jean Dixon, who w'rote the song for her, is practically unknown outside Tin Pan Alley. And the Mons. Zittell, who wrote “Nothing Ever Bothers Me,” has become the “Zit” of Zit’s theatrical W'eekly. And broke, critically stricken, about to be ejected from a little California home for non-payment of rent, words of the old song had the bitter tang of wormwood: ,; My voice may sound funny, but it gets me the money. "So I Don’t Care ...” NEXT The ill-fated tour of "The Merry World" . the "blonde in b’aek” . . . the first hare legs on any state ... a methodical madness . . . and Eva Tantnay perches on the theatrical hclthts.

EVICTED NEEDY FIND HAVEN IN SHANTY TOWNS ‘Hooverville’ Has Grown So Fast It Has Suburb: It’s Called Curtisville. Hooverville, the Shanty town on the west bank of White river, has a suburb, and they call it "Curtisville.’’ Growth in the population and number of tar-tinned shacks in Hooverville, north of the Oliver avenue bridge, has resulted in anew village growing up opposite Kingan’s packing plant. And due to the number of evicted ones who come to squat on government land without paying rent, it has been necessary .to name a mayor for Hooverville and establish a waterworks system. The waterworks consists of a well sunk along the river bank, with a decrepit pump to bring the water to the surface. In pails, as far north as Curtisville. the tin can tenants carry their water. Widow, 8 Children Added Curtisville, the new suburb of poverty and the unemployed, announces that its latest hard luck citizen is a widow with eight children. The Curtisville citizenry tossed in all their tools, implements, and a few' callouses to erect the widow’s home. Two beds, W'ith nothing twin-like about them except the legs, are the sleeping quarters of the widow and her eight children. They sleep in shifts in that a 19-year-old son sells papers at night, and gives up his share of the bedding to younger ones. A 15-year-old daughter of the widow’ w’alks home nightly from Arsenal Technical high school in order to continue her studies. Pennies eked from newspaper sales furnish her with carfare in the morning. Wondering About Winter ‘•l’m keeping them together and trying to put them in school,” the widow says as she refuses to give her name. Residents of both Hooverville and Curtisville, w'ho are not prepared for winter’s rigors shake their heads in wonder w’hen asked how’ the two shanty-towns will get along this winter. “If some of them don’t get their places chinked up against rain, snow’ and cold I don’t know what will happen,” said one w’ho pioneered the haven of the evicted. Increase in the population of the tw’o unofficial towns is expected shortly with the aid of Dr. Stork. With wan smiles they’re in favor of calling a boy “Job”—pronounced a-la-1932 and not like the Bible—and if it’s a girl the baby will be “Prosperity.” Bungalow for Sale “Mayor” Joe Baxter, major domo of Hooverville, who obtained his title because he had more picks and shovels to help build shanties, and sunk the town’s waterworks in his front yard, says Curtisville “just sprung up in the last two weeks, and still is growing.’” “I don’t know' w'hat’s going to happen to a lot of them this winter. I’m ready for the cold, but a lot of them aren’t,” he says. The “mayor” has the neatest hillside bungalow of the tow'n. A few morning glories and other flowers have been planted. In better years Baxter was a bridge construction worker and a precinct committeeman on the south side. One vacated shanty carries a placard price of $3 for'any one who desires to take a chance on its airy quarters. Food from Soup Kitchen Another Hooverville resident has : a police dog chained in a homemade kennel, and the “why” of the dog is seen in another sign, “police I pups for sale.” A second plutocrat of the town has a hennery that supplies him ! w'ith fresh eggs. But the rank-and-file w’end their way daily across the ties of the railroad bridges to the soup kitchen on East Maryland street or get their w'eekly baskets from the township trustees. They eat, sleep and sit W'hen not building homes for new residents. 7 HURT IN RAIL CLASH War Veteran, 83, Among Injured Carnival Workers. By United Press EVANSVILLE.

Driving a wooden tee into a golf ball was a feat uintentionallv accomplished recently by Dale Whisler, 2650 Sutherland avenue, while playing on the Pleasant Run course. Although Whisler is not positive as to how' the feat was accomplished, he believes the tee was imbedded slightly in turf and was struck as he drove from the sixth tee. He arrived at this conclusion in a test with large nails which he imbedded in turf at his home. Each nail struck squarely on the head was hurled through the air and stuck in a garage wall.

KNIFE USED ON COUNTY BUDGET i 40-Cent Tax Rate Likely After Reductions. Final slashes in appropriation requests were made by county 'coun- ! cilmen today preparatory to Tneeti ing Tuesday to announce the budget on which the 1933 county tax rate will be based. Councilmen. in three weeks, have made the “most drastic cuts in county governmental operating expenses,” according to reports. Although results of the council’s work is being kept secret until officially adopted, it is predicted the 1933 tax rate will be about 40 cents on each SIOO taxable property. If appropriations were allowed as requested by county officials, a 48cent rate w’ould be necessary. Resistance to reductions in their budgets loomed among county officials as reports of the “drastic slashing” leaked out of council chambers. First to announce his opposition, was Municipal Judge Clifton R. : Cameron, W’ho declared he will seek to block any effort to reduce his budget. X County officials, judges, department and institution heads will appear at the council meeting Tuesj day to support their budget re- | quests, Walter C. Boetcher, council president, announced. f HEWITT SERVICES SET Promoter of New Type Engine to Be Buried This Afternoon. Funeral services for Bertian G.

LACK OF JURY FUNDS CAUSES , JUSTICE UELAY Attorneys Use Situation to Gain Delays in Cases, Judges Say. Justice i* county courts, both civil and criminal, is being delayed because 1932 funds for per diem pay of jurors practically are exhausted, an investigation revealed today. Several judges have informed the county council that additional appropriations must be made immediately because “attorneys are using the situation to get unwarranted delay in cases.” “Attorneys, informed the courts are without jury funds, purposely ask for juries, to delay their cases.’’ Walter C. Boetcher said the judges had informed him. The five superior dockets are clogged with cases awaiting jury trials, and criminal court also is hard hit by lack of funds, court records revealed. With only $21.15 left in the petit jury fund. Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker has been forced to continue several cases indefinitely. The court has used SB6 additional appropriation besides its original $3,,000 jury fund. Each jury costs the county an average of SSO a day, including meals and lodging. Jury cases are a month behind schedule in superior court three, which has only money enough for about seven days’ jury service left from a $2,000 appropriation. Judge William A. Pickens indicated he would hold a short jury session and later seek an additional appropriation.

DRY LAW ATTACK END PREDICTED BY M’BRIDE Prohobition Leader Thinks Statute Safe This Fall. By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—F. Scott Mcßride, general superintendent of the anti-Saloon League, declares the wet assault upon the eighteenth amendment has failed, predicted the dry Jaws would not be altered at the short session of congress or by the one to be elected this fall. This conclusion, Mcßride said, is based on the failure of the antiprohibitionists to defeat or replace a sufficient number of congressmen who voted against the Beck-Linlhi-cum resubmission resolution at the last session of congress. "With only three primaries remaining,” he observed, “it now appears certain that the congress to be elected this fall will not submit a resolution to modify or repeal the eighteenth amendment.” The head of the dry organization admitted the results of the recent election in Maine was a victory for the liquor forces, but explained it indicated a Democratic rather than a wet trend.
