WAR PROBLEM VEXING ANGLE IN CANAL PACT Canada’s Stand in Case of Conflict Questioned in Waterway Debate. COST IS MAJOR ISSUE Widely Varying Estimates Are Given on Money Needed for Route. BY WALKER STONE Timra Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—The sttae department's spokesman, Assistant Secretary James Grafton Rogers, skirted clear in his testimony before the Borah subcommittee of two controversial questions presented by the St. Lawrence treaty: What nvould happen tg the United States' rights in the shipway in .event of war? What economic justification is there for the vast expenditures proposed ? Should the United States and Canada engage in war, Rogers said, then, of course either nation could put the seaway out of commission, and dominion over the water route would pass to the strongest. Cites War Problem, Should Great Britain be at war with another power, Rogers said, Canada could not, without violating the treaty, prevent United States ships from navigating the canal. Rogers made no guess as to what Canada would do, should a United States ship attempt to navigate the canal laden with supplies for an enemy. Regarding the economic phases of the waterway development, Rogers admitted, under a pointed question by Senator Robert Wagner (Dem., N. Y.), that he was not prepared to testify. Although stating that he believed the waterway would be of great benefit to the land-locked middle west, Rogers said he could not testify to what extent and in what way the benefits would accrue. Rogers defended the concession made by this government in the recognizing Canada's rights over the waters of Lake Michigan, and limiting the Chicago diversion to 1,500 cubic feet per second. Root Report Brought Out Senator Glenn (Rep., 111.) read into the record a report made by secretary of state Liihu Root in 1909, concerning a treaty that had recently been negotiated, in which Root stressed the refusal to consider Lake Michigan, which lies entirely within United States tariitory, as an international body of water. In that report. Root, Glenn said., asserted that Chicago was entitled to a diversion of 10,000 C. F. S., a right which Canada must not be • allowed to question.* Today's witnesses included army engineers, who will defend official estimates that the cost of the seaway an'd power project will npt greatly exceed a half billion dollars. Opponents of the waterway two w'eeks ago estimated the cost at more than a billion. Commerce department witnesses will be called to answer opponents’ arguments that the canal will not reduce transportation costs materially, and that shippers will not make extensive use of the seaway, when and if built.

ROOSEVELT IS ASKED' TO APPROVE 3.75 BEER MEASURE

BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Writer WARM SPRINGS. Nov. 29. Prominent Democratic leaders already have started a movement to persuade President-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt to approve, in advance, a beer bill providing a higher content of alcohol than is proposed in all measures now under consideration. Pending proposals. Including the Linthicum-Beck bill, provide for 2.75 per cent alcohol, whereas the Democrats now urge that this figure be raised to 3.75.

STEER RAISED BY BOY, 11, IS REAL ‘CHAMP’ Animal Forges Into Finals for Grand Prize Winner at Chicago Show. AND NAME IS ‘PLATO’ 70-Pound Lad Has Chance at Triumph Coveted by All Stockmen. BY RAY BLACK United Press Staff Correspondent INTERNATIONAL AMPHITHEATER, Stockyards, Chicago, Nov. 29. —An 11-year-old Illinois boy, who weighs 70 pounds, raised a steer weighing 1,270 pounds went up to the final competition today for the grand ehampion steer of the International Livestock Exposition—the triumph of which every stockman dreams. The boy is Lawrence Morgan, w'ho lives on a farm near Aledo, 111. The steer is a coal-black Aber-deen-Angus whose name is Plato because Lawrence “read it in a book and thought it sounded nice.” Lawrence is 4 feet, 11 inches tall, and is proud of the fact that he’s a half inch taller than Plato. Wheat King Named In the vast arena of the amphitheater, Lawrence leads Plato, hoping his good points will win over the good points of the champions of the Hereford, Red-Polled, and Shorthorn breeds. If Plato wins, he likely will command the best price of any steer sold this year anywhere. Herman Trelle, ailing Canadian who “farms with his brains,” was named “wheat king” of the North American continent Monday, for the fourth time. Trelle, who years ago homesteaded in the Peace river country far north in Alberta, farms 500 acres of a 1,000-acre plot with the aid of his w'ife. She /dies over thfe fields supervising sowing and harvesting when her husband feels unable to go.

Montanan Disappointed He won his victory this year on hard red spring wheat. He had won twice before on that variety. Last year he took the wheat king’s crown on an exhibit of durum wheat. His consistent victories are credited with booming the Peace River country, especially around Wembly, where he goes for groceries. The outcome of this year’s judging was a mingled disappointment and source of pride for G. Edson Smith, wheat farmer from near Darby, Mont., who for several years has run Trelle a close race for .the crown. Smith finished far down in the list this year, but his son, T. E. Smith. 25, won the reserve championship for durum wheat. Girl Proves Best Judge Brown-eyed Jean Leake of Emerado. N. D., proved that, although she is a 15-year-old girl, who would be a belle at any school dance, she knows as much about judging cattle, horses, sheep and hogs as most veteran stockmen. • She was adjudged the grand champion of the non-collegiate livestock judging contest, triumphing over fifteen boys. Jean scored 542 poins, which was 21 more than Carl Moore, 16-year-old Michigan boy, scored. “I had an advantage maybe,” Jean said, blushing, when she was introduced to the crowd. “I live on a 640-acre grain and stock and I’ve known about livestock ever since I can remember.” The grand champion Barrow, the prize hog of the International Live Stock Exposition, selected today is a Hampshire in the 260 to 300 pound class exhibited by Purdue university. The reserve championship was won by a Chester White Barrow, in the 220 to 260 pound class, also exhibited by Purdue.

Credit for the $1.50 ’maximum ; tax levy law and the savings it has ! effected wfere claimed for the Indi- ; ana Real Estate Association and Indianapolis Real Estate Board in 1 a statement made today by Albert E.

deficit estimated here at $5,000.000,000. Some of the people whom Mr. Roosevelt has consulted, including ex-brewers, have informed him that 2.75 beer will make no appeal to the great American palate after ten years of prohibition. They will rush for it 4n the first months, according to this good old school of thought, but will soon tire of it, and it is claimed revenue will drop far below all present estimates. These range from a minimum of $80,000,000 to a maximum of $400,000,000. The treasury's latest figures are from $150,000,000 to $200,000,000. This drive for a more palatable and profitable beverage derived some support, it. generally is believed. from the trend of Mondays conference between Mr, Roosevelt

ISAT for hours in the open door of a box car in the Glen Ellyn yard, crawling into its dark recesses whenever I sighted a railroad man from afar. Two other men waited with me. They were on their way to Texas to work on a ranch. I tried to forget my growing hunger by smoking many cigarets, drawing the fire down to each last flake of tobacco. “How’d a gallon of coffee and a mound of doughnuts go right now?” asked one of the fellows. “Cut it!” demanded his companion. "I’m hungry enough without you ribbing me.” From the eastern end of the yard came two shrill blasts of a train whistle. My companions jumped to the ground. I followed.

was emerging. Men were coming out of deserted cabooses, from under cars. They were spreading out along the track, about thirty or forty feet apart, concealing themselves as much as possible. The train roared down the track. I wet my lips; I shook from cold and fright. The engine passed. The half-hidden line of men emerged. My acquaintances caught rungs of passing cars and swung aboard. A fat Negro lumbered along the tracks, reached out and missed a rung, reached out and caught the next. He swung heavily against the side of the box car. I ran beside the train. It was going faster than I. I reached out my right hand and clutched at <a flying rung. I felt myself dragged along. My feet frantically thrashed out for the iron step. My left hand, encumbered by ray small bundle of possessions, could not reach a rung. The train jerked as it gathered speed and my right hand slipped. I fell to the ground beside the tracks. The gravel cut my face; the wet dirt crushed into my eyes. The train rattled on. a a a - s BATTERED tired and hungry. I crawled to a small shack. Steam pipes ran along one wall, making it warm and comfortable inside. The dusk was turning into night. I kept telling mySelf: “You're yellow. Everybody got the train but you.” I dozed. Sleep seemed to be a balm to my pains. I was shaken awake by a husky fellow in a leather packet. Daylight was returning. “I£fiti’d better beat it,” the fellow was saying. ‘‘The day bull will be around soon.” “When does the next freight go out” I asked. “The last one went an hour ago. No more until tonight. I made my way out of the yards toward the highway. I reached it and swung off toward St. Louis. I could not wait for trains now; in movement there was life. Many yards I paced off without a lift. It was not until I neared Joliet that a sedan stopped and I vas motioned inside. “You look chilly, Red,” said the driver. “Sick?” I told' him of my experience. “Reach into that door pocket,” he

said. “There's a drink for both of us there.” “How far you going, Red?” ' “St. Louis.”' “Why are you going to St. Louis?” The question startled me. I realized I did not know. a a a \ T TAVING failed to find a job in Chicago, I had struck out blindly. My pride had forbidden me to return to New York. Now I was going to St. Louis. Was it because it, was the gateway to the west and the west held an allurement? Or was it because I was slipping into the beaten route of the men of the jungles? I shuddered. “Why, I—l think I have a. job in St. Louis,” I stumbled. v ‘That’s fine, Red. It’s a great town if jou have money or a job. If you're broke, you’re behind the eight ball.” My host made fine time. He was, he said, a bootlegger. His car was built for getaway. And as a result I tramped -along Market street, St. Louis, late that night. I stepped up to a young fellow standing outside a cheap restaurant. I asked him for a match. We talked. I told him I was looking for a place to sleep. “Keep away from the munie, the city flophouse. Police headquarters will put you up. You won't get crumbed up, anyway.” "How's town?” “You can get by here. Watch out if you go stemming. They give you thirty dayis in the can here. They have a begging squad that’ll pick you up if they catch you. “I blew in last week and gave them a fake address. I told them I was a town boy and they gave me a hotel ticket for a week and a two-fifty meal ticket. They do that to all the guys who are out of work in town.” aa ' a A MAN in a greasy black suit and an old black felt hat lurched up to ps. He had a torn overcoat thrown over one shoulder. ‘‘Give me a match?” he asked. I gave him a light from n.y cigaret. The young fellow waved me goodby and walked tip the street.

studies have convinced them that this year's deficit will surpass present predictions, probably nearing the 53.000,000,000 figure. The Democratic program, as outlined by Robinson after his conference. “at the little White House” clearly contemplates the assumption of majority responsibility as soon as the gavel falls on Dec. 4. In order to pave the way with roses for the Roosevelt administration, the Democrats in house and senate will try to dispose of as many major and controversial measures sa possible.

Go up to 'tenth street and the cops at that station will let you out in the morning. Did you ever stem. Red?” I shook my head. “I’m new on the road,” I said. “Well, follow me,” he said. “Everybody in town knows Silver Murphy. I’ve hit it for forty years. It’s the best stemmin’ town in the country. Tsiey always throw a bum a piece of money. “C'mon, we’ll head uptown and get the price of a bed and a bottle. I’ll show you how to beg.” I told him I would take my chances with the police station. He lurched away, walking closely to the building line. I walked across town through dark streets. On a lighted corner, a girl, a red toque set rakishly on her head said, “Aren’t you going my way?” I did not answer. tt a u HnHE street was dark and shab--I}y. I entered a circle of light from a street lamp. “Here I am, honey,” another girl's voice. A girl in a green dress stood in a doorway. She had blond hair and a pale face. I started to walk on. “Wait a minute,” and she had me by the arm, her fingers pressed into the flesh. “Must be a mistake,” I mumbled. “I'm a bum, a poor one. I haven't even got guts enough to ask for food. I just got in and I'm headed for a police station to find a place to sleep.” Her fingers dropped away from my arm. She stepped back and looked at me. I started on. Her hand caught my-arm again. “You poor fool. It’s th first time you’ve been busted, I bet.” I nodded my head. She pulled me toward the doorway. “Come in and sit in the kitchen. It’s warm and I’ll make you some coffee.” I started in. The warmth in the building was good. The promise of coffee stirred my empty stomach. Suddenly I stopped. "Thanks, thanks very much. I think I’d better go on.” She turned narrow eyes on me. “Okay, big boy, on your way.” A bitter laugh followed me 'out the door. “You’ll learn,” the girls voice taunted. I made my way to the Tenth street police station.

A FAT cop in a wrinkled uniform took my pedigree. He asked me if I had any weapons. I laid a small knife on his desk Satisfied, he led me to a small cell. I stretched out and went to sleep and dreamed of things to eat. At 7 in the morning I left the station house. My first thought was of food. I wanted a cup of coffee more than anything else. “When you’re hungry,” Jack Macßeth of Chicago Hobo college had said, “you can become a stem Miirn and beg money; you can become a cronicker and hit the backdoors for setdowns; or you can hit hash houses and ask to do pearl diving.” I decided to look for work in restaurants. If I could get a week’s work I could improve my appearance and look for a better job. I walked in and out of seven restaurants. The eighth, a mere stand, ended my search. "Sit down,” said the counterman, a bald-headed man with a swollen body and bulbous nose, “I aint’ got

agencies will possess dominant influence, especially if the progressives support the Democratic program. as hoped for. The progressives, incidentally, will not be called in to aid in formulating Democratic measures, but, according to Robinson, he "will welcome the support of anybody in sympathy wito it. “It is probable the practical work-ing-out will be that men like Senators George Norris of Nebraska and Bronson Cutting of New Mexico will serve in a consulative capacity. Robinson also has announced that recent Hoover appointees will be confirmed by the senate only in exceptional cases if, as expected, they can get the progressives to line up with them.

Was I to find that job, any job? Perhaps I could get something that would give me enough to eat, a place to sleep and a few cents. I could gather strength, clean up, and look' for something better. My hat, its stiffness lost in the rain, flopped about my ears. My ' shirt was soiled. My trousers were caked with dirt and my shoes were gray with mud. I watched people go by. They were cn their way to work. Their faces were clean, powdered, rouged or shaved. Their chins were up. A police officer walked by. He glanced at me and then idled at a store window. I hurried down the street. I turned into a main artery, I kept walking until it had become the highway. My thumb flicked up almost automatically at the passing automobiles. Once again I was a vagabond. Once again under the strange hypnotism of the open road. SHORT rides and long walks brought me to High Hill as darkness came. A service station attendant had told me the Wabash stopped at a water tower there. I huddled beside the tracks until a light gleamed down the tracks. Wheels clicked and the engine chugged nearer. The train slowed to a stop. I felt alongside of a box car for an open door and my hand came in contact with another grimy, hairy paw. “Here you are, buddy,” a voice said. I jumped up and was pulled through the open door. The strange hand closed the. door.

WAR FLAMES FANNED HIGH. BY JAPANESE Military Caste Spurs Nation to Dreams of Conquest for Own Salvation. PERILS WORLD PEACE China Lives in Fear, With Foe Steadily Boring Into Territory. BY WILLIM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—While America and Europe haggle noisily over war debts, disarmaments and the economic deadlock, the soft sputter of the powder-train leading in the direction of a world-rocking explosion proceeds almost unnoticed in the Far East. Not since prior to 1900, a high official here gravely observed, has the situation in the Orient been so dangerous. Unless we and Europe speedily can iron out our differences, he said, and bring some order out of the present chaos, something may start in the Pacific that will set the world on Are. In 1900, the United States stood between China and dismemberment. Today. China's dismemberment actually is under way again. Three of her richest provinces already are lost, and a fourth—Jehol is : slipping. Japanese army maps of ! Manchuria definitely include Jehol as part of “Manchukuo.”

Bomb Japanese Shops This time, however, the United States is powerless to Intervene, and Japan knows it. Only the ninepower treaty, the Kellogg pact, and the covenant of the league of Nations can save China, and these now threaten not to function. Today, south of the Great Wall in China proper, the inhabitants are on tip-toe with anxiety. A new Japanese thrust is feared. Bombings of shops selling Japanese goods in th Peiping area are increasingly frequent. The Chinese claim Japanese agents are engineering the bombings. The Japanese charge Chinese boycotters are starting anew reign of terror. Whichever is right, observers in Peiping report, bloodshed may happen.at any time and bring on Japanese intervention, as at Shanghai. The United States Legation at Peiping, it was reported today, has warned Americans to be prepared to rush to safety. Driving Toward War Meanwhile, in Japan events relentlessly are driving the military government forward. It could not back out now, even if it wanted to. The prestige of the emperor himself is involved. Thus failure, in the code of Nippon, would mean loss of “face” for the sacred ruler, the almost sacred military cast, and for the nation itself. Accordingly, the biggest budget in history has been approved at Tokio. It calls for the expenditure of 2,240,000,003 yen. At par, this is $1,120,000,000, and most of it is for the army and navy. As it is estimated the national revenue will amount to only $671,003,000, it means going into the red to the tune of $449,000.000—the most stupendous deficit the empire ever faced. New borrowings are in prospect, along with new and higher taxes—if new and higher taxes can be levied and collected from an already hard-pressed people, which is at least doubtful. Fire Begins to Cool For, though even liberals and moderates were swept off their feet during the “war fever” which rolled across Japan at the beginning of the Manchurian advance, the fire is beginning to cool. The Japanese are nothing if not thrifty, and grumbling is beginning to be heard. The military soon must make good if it wishes to remain in the saddle. New and more spectacular enterprises, therefore!, would not be surprising. Continuation of the present world chaos, it is feared, would give the military caste, now ruling at Tokio. its chance. * A world restored to something like normal would hold them and those who might abet them, in check. Rumors persist that France might replace Great Britain as Japan's European ally. If the present woild chaos is to continue, Japan might prove very useful to France in the Far East.
