OHIOANS SEE
CANAL COMING
International New* Service
A possibility of success for the
long-dreamed of Lake Erie-to-Ohio
Canal within the next year was
seen today by members of Con
gress advocating the waterway.
The Rivers and Harbors Board
of Army Engineers, members of
Congress were advised, hopes to
make a report to Congress within
the next few months on feasibility
of the Beaver and Mahoning
River route.
A report on the survey of a
route from Struthers in the steel
and coal district to Lake Erie is
said to be in the hands of the
district engineer. It will be re
viewed by the Rivers and Harbors
Board, possibly with public hear
ings.
If a favorable report is made
before the next session of Con
gress adjourns, Ohio members of
Congress plan a vigorous effort
to obtain appropriations.
A law, enacted in 1930, which
provides for expenditure of $37,-
000,000 on the Beaver and Ma
honing River route as far as
Struthers, becomes effective if the
Army engineers report favorably
upon the project as a whole.
Backers of the Lake Erie-to-Ohio
River canal through the Youngs
town steel district believe that it
would intensify industrial develop
ment.

William Hopkins, Ar tist, Threw Away His
Palette for a Policeman's Badge; Made
Many Spectacular Arrests
Art is interesting, but not ex-*
citing.
And so back in 1902 William
Franklin Hopkins gave up his work
as a fresco painter who had dec
c ated many of the embassies and
finer homes of the city to join
the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment.
Just a few weeks after his ap
pointment he had his first taste
of the excitement he sought when
he arrested a crazed man in
Green’s Court. The man was
armed with an axe and there was
a struggle before he was over
powered.
And soon after that he captured
a burglar, armed with a pistol, who
had hidden in the ice box of a
butcher shop.
Still another spectacular cap
ture was of an insane man in
Logan’s Court, termed by doctors
at St. Elizabeth's Hospital as one of
the most dangerous they had ever
received there.
After 33 years thrilling service I
he retired, and now resides with i

CHICAGO, December 1 (1.N.5.).
After being told that Oscar M.
Hartzell, conceiver of the “Sir
Francis Drake Estate” fraud had
been declared insane, Federal
Judge Phillip M. Sullivan today

GOLFERS LOSE
TREE ALIBI
Duffers on the West Potomac
Park golf course lost an alibi today
when the National Capital Parks
Office removed six copper beech
trees from their old stance midway
on the course.
The trees, 20 to 25 feet in height
and 8 to 12 inches in diameter,
were transferred to Franklin Park.
There, far from the realm oi
hooks and slices, the trees will
furnish homes for squirrels and
shade for park-sitters.
On the south grounds of the
State, War and Navy Building,
other additions were made- to
Washington’s tree family. They
were Southern magnolias of the
grandiflora variety and are 15 to
20 feet tall.
