—Let's Go Fishing— RECLAMATION OF KANKAKEE VITAL SUBJECT Move Appeals to Sportsmen of Ail Types Belief of Lefty. Thin In the f!rt of two article* by Leftv lee on the proposed reclamation of the Kankakee. The second will appear tomorrow. BY I.EFTY LEE Time* Fishing Editor At all Rathfrings of sportsmen, •the reclamation of the Kankakee / river is one subject that is certain to crop up. The thought that this famous spot may be put back in its original state appeals to all who have enjoyed themselves in ast years on this world-famous stream. With the opening of the duck hunting season this subject is foremast in the minds of the veterans, as it was a paradise for hunters from all parts of the world during duck hunting seasons of days gone by This column has been fortunate In obtaining a report of a survey made with the idea of reclaiming part of the famous old spot, and the fact that this report is not technical, should make it readily understood by all. The report was passed on to us to put before the hunters and anglers of the state, with the idea of proving to them, that the plan to reclaim the state's most famous river, outside of song, is practical. Forty Miles Surveyed The survey made on Oct. 12, 13 and 14 of this year covers that portion of the Kankakee river lying between the west boundary of Starke county, and the IndianaIllinois line, a distance of about forty miles. It was made to determine if it would be practical to open inlets, and outlets of the so-called landlocked bayous, in order to let the fish back in the main stream after flood periods. As the old river was very crooked, the new channel cuts it in many places, making approximately fifty of these bayous in the forty miles surveyed. Most of these on the upper thirty miles have been cut off from the main stream by the spoil .banks, which are about thirty feet Nthick, and erosion has further filled up the channels to an average distance of 500 feet. Several of these never go dry and It would require a channel about three feet deep to connect them with the river. Others are higher and it would be impractical to connect them. Those on the lower ten miles are more open and have water to a good depth, even in dry seasons. A few miles east of Shelby, a Chiago man has attemped to restore about 1,000 acres and has obtained good results. This has been done by taking the water from the river several miles upstream and bringing it on a level, through a canal, to the land which has been flooded. Divided by Spoil Bank The lower end of this tract is j divided from the river by a spoil i bank about thirty feet thick and on the day of this survey. The water on the swamp side was four and onehalf feet higher than the river level. This would tend to show that water can be impounded at levels higher than the river, even though the sandy nature of the soil j would make it seem otherwise. This portion of the old stream winds through timber, trees have fallen across it in many places, giving an excellent picture of the old river at its best. The natural beauty of the old swamp and river would make any one, even though he be neither hunter nor fisherman, wonder why the Kankakee has been drained. From this small part of the restored swamp, with its large number of waterfowl, one can easily understand why the old Kankakee attracted hunters. This is the one remaining refuge for waterfowl in the state. It affords good fishing, and abounds with muskrat and other fur-bear-ir.g antmals. It is an excellent place to see what the restoration of the Kankakee would mean to the state, not only in hunting and fishing, but also the revenue that would be derived from trapping. PRESS IS JUDGE, JURY OF NRA. EDITOR SAYS Talcott Powell of The Times Addresses Brazil Elks Club. Newspapers have the responsibility as never before of accurately recording events of the day. Talcott Powell, editor of The Times, declared in an address before the Brazil Elks Club. •'The American business man is on the firing line, and has the right to get honest, accurate and prompt information,” he said. While declaring that President Roosevelt's recovery program had his support, Mr. Powell asserted “this is the first time in the history of the world that newspapers have been called upon to act as • judge and jury,” in referring to the * administration’s expectation that w,he press would punish NRA non-co-operators with publicity and ridicule. "This responsibility we are ‘ducking.' and I believe rightly so," he said.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MEXICAN PENAL I SYSTEM TOPIC OF CLUB TALK Rotarians Told Warden Is Blamed When Parole Is Violated. Ex-convicts in Mexico, who are | returned to prison on second of- ' senses are not so much “on the spot” as the warden, who, under the Mexican theory of penology, is responsible if convicts do not make : good when released, Z. M. Allison said in an address before the Rotary Club at the Claypool yesterday. Basing his statements on an in- j tensive study of the Mexican penal system, Mr. Allison told Rotarians ' that no one has benefited more than t the criminal in that country. “The homicide rate and all other types of crime steadily have decreased in the last five years,” he said. “The Mexicans have done away with judges and juries. The criminal is haled before a council composed of psychiatrists, physicians and students of sociology. There is no prosecution and no defense attorney to point to the crim- ! inal’s poor old mother.” Reform, rather than punishment, is the basis of Mexican penology, I Mr. Allison declared. A criminal may j be sent to an Insane asylum, to j prison or be freed, but he never is ! executed, as capital punishment has ! been abolished. “Nowhere in the world is prop- | erty safer than in the City of Mex- j ico,” the speaker said. “British insurance companies will sell theft insurance cheaper in the City of Mexico than in Indianapolis.” PHONE BUSINESS ON GAIN, OFFICIAL SAYS October Installations Are Highest Since 1931. Return of more prosperous times, at least for the Indiana Bell Telephone Company, was reported today by F. A. Montrose, vice-presi-dent and general manager, who said that for the first time since May, 1931, more telephones were installed than were disconnected. During October, installations exceeded disconnections by more than 1,000 in the company’s territory. In September and October, last year, disconnections were greater than connections by nearly 2,500. Summer months this year revealed a gradual decrease in the disparity. NEW INSURANCE MARK RECORDED IN OCTOBER Lincoln National Life Head Says Month Greatest Since 1932. By Times Special FT. WAYNE, Nov. B.—October business of the Lincoln National Life Insurance Company was the greatest of any month since April, 1932, according to Arthur F. Hall, president. More applications were received than for any one month in two and a half years, he added.
