WATERWAY WILL BE COMPLETED IN FOUR YEARS, SHAFER SAYS Shafer Attended Meeting of Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Project Group Work of the Great Lakes-St. Law- rence Waterways project has pro- gressed to a stage where its comple- tion is regarded as assured within the next three or four years, Governor George F. Shafer said Monday fol- lowing his return from Chicago where he, participated in a conference of tlie etutave Cottimittes tY the Wa- terways association. The governor, a member of the committee, said the group was con- cerned chiefly with reliable assur- ances received from the Canadian prime minister that treaty commis- sioners would be named within about three weeks. In 1928, the then Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg proposed that treat; commissioners be appointed by Can- ada and the United States, and the invitation was accepted by the Cana- dian governor, but appointment of the commissioners by the Dominion was deferred, On appointment of the commission- ers by Canada, the United States commissioners will be named, and the commission will meet to draw up a treaty regarding the boundary waters, and submit the matter to congress. Governor Shafer believed that the treaty could be drawn up for action by congress in December, as engineers from the two countries have practi- cally agreed on the underlying prin- ciples regarding the wate! Informal assurance has been re- ceived by the Great Lakes-St. Law- rence Deep Waterways association, composed of 23 states, that when the new Canadian minister goes to Wash- ington he will carry with him in- structions to accept the invitation of the American government to form a treaty commission, Governor Shafer said. The executive committee in Chicago ciscussed the anticipation of the ap- pointment of the commission, and a meeting of governors of the states in the association will be called as soon as the commission is formed, according to the governor. ‘The governors will lay plans for a program of cooperative effort with a view toward early ratifica- tion to the commission's treaty, Gov- e:nor Shafer said. The governor termed the prospects of the appointment of a treaty com- mission in the near future as possi- bly the most important step in the efits of the waterways project within the next three or four years. PIONEER IN STATE LAW CIRCLES, DIES Wahpeton Jurist Succumbs in Home Which He Established 50 Years Ago HAD STROKE TWO YEARS AGO Was District Judge for Years; Defeated in 1905 Congressional Race 15 Wahpeton, N. D., May 18—(P)— Judge W. 8. Lauder, 77, for more than 50 years a moving figure in North Dakota legal circles, died at his home here Sunday. A paralytic stroke suf- fered in May, 1928, caused Judge Lauder’s death and for the last year he had been confined to the home he established here in 1881. Born in Yates Center, N. Y., he was educated in River Falls, Wis. and moved to North Dakota in 1881, a/ year after his admission to the Wis- consin bar. The next year he was elected pro- bate judge of Richland county and served one term in that office and two as the district prosecutor. In 1882 he established a partnership with the late Judge Charles H. Wolfe, the firm operating as Lauder and Wolfe for a number of years. ‘Wtih the admission of North Da- kota as a state he was elected district judge, a post he held for 15 years before resigning in 1905 to run for congress, being defeated. He resumed @ private law practice for a number of years and in 1923 took his son, Max, into his firm, and with the death of the late W. E. Purcell a few years ago, enlarged the firm to Laud- er, Heder and Lauder, with the addi- Qf J..A, Heder, former partner of Benker Purcell.” Relatives include his widow, the former Nettie McKean, whom he married in Wisconsin, the son Max, another son, Ray Scott Lauder, Chi- cago, and two daughters, Mrs. Frances Ambler of Lake Forest, Ill, who served as nurse during the war in France, and Rose, a licensed aviatrix, ; at Lake Forest. i ‘The funeral will be held in the ‘Wahpeton Congregational church at 2:30 p. m.

For the second consecutive week- nd, President Hoover returnec. from ‘his Rapidan, Virginia, camp, con- vinced that a saving could be made in a government department. Last week, the war department was con- sidered and a decision reached for the abandonment of 20 to 30 ob- solete army posts and a concentration of activities. Interior department officials, who had found no unusually large items they believed could be stricken, Presented their savings outline at conferences Saturday and Sunday. They expect to save $4,000,000 this year, $6,000,000 to $7,000,000 next year, and $7,000,000 to $8,000,000 the fol- lowing Spar by restricting some activ- ities and deferring other work. Just What activities will be curtailed or what work put off was not an- nounced. The Indian office, which received for the fiscal year, 1932, a net appro- priation of $25,000,000, was not expect- ed to provide much of the saving for Secretary Wilbur and his aides have inaugurated a new policy in that branch calling for first-class person- nel at substantial salaries.

Army Air| Corps Will Trek to Chicago for Maneuvers Fairfield, Dayton, O., May 18—(>) —The army's flying forces Monday were winning thelr fight against the flight of time and the laws of per- centage. General “administrative economy” involving operations on narrow mar- gins, will provide a goodly share of the saving. On his trip to Virginia, the presi- dent was accompanied by Mrs. Hoover, his son, Herbert, Jr., and the latter's wife. It was the first time the younger Hoover had been to Ra- pidan since he went to Asheville, N. C., last year for treatment for in- cipient tuberculosis. Secretary Wil- bur and other interior department of- ficials also were present. President Hoover has instructed treasury, postoffice and agriculture department officials to survey their respective field with a view to cut- ting down expenditures. With economies laid down for the war and interior departments, the president will choose from among these three the governmental branch that will be taken up at his next week-end meeting. The efficiency of each branch of the department will be kept intact, Secretary Wilbur said and no vital- ly important work will be postponed. No official would discuss the program tut it was indicated some of the $17,- 600,000 saving would be shown in Hoover dam construction. Indications were the general policy would be reduction of projects under % pro-rata system rather than out- right elimination. Both the park service and the (Continued on page three) IC. C.

He denied the French charge that his country was violating the Geneva protocol guaranteering Austrian po- litical independence when she nego- tiated with Germany for the project- ed union. He denied also that the Austro-German arrangement threat- ened the clause, and he denied that the nego- tiations had teen conducted in sec- ret. The projected treaty, he said, does the economic policies of the two con- tracting states, for the respective par- llaments retain equal authority to arrange customs agreements with other nations. Throughout their negotiations, he declared, Germany and Austria had constantly in mind both the Geneva protocol and the St. Germain treaty. “I must declare strongly,” he said, “that our announcement that this agreement was constructed upon an exactly equal footing of both nations by no means surrender her economic independence. “If the powers are so greatly con- cerned over this matter as to in- fringe Austria's sovereign right to negotiate treaties, then, indeed, is our economic independence destroyed.” The two Germanic states agreed also to go no further with their nego- tiations pending the world court deci- sion which is expected some time during the summer, before the coun- cil meets again in September. | Late News Briefs | ee _ —_ —- UPHOLD CHAIN STORE TAX Only one day remains before the 600 military planes of the United States army air corps are to trek 250 miles cross-country to Chicago to show their: wingmanship, but with only two days of practice at formation ilying they were ready to make a creditable showing.

May 18.—(?)—Death has brought to a close the aerial ca- reer of Charles W. “Speed” Holman, 33, St. Paul, whose name for years had been high in the list of American aviators, He was killed Sunday while stunt- ing upside down at a height of only 20 feet at the Omaha air races. Death was instantaneous. Twenty thousand spectators saw him die. His own magnanimity, his friends said, was the indirect cause of the death of the St. Paul aviator, whose stunts in the air had thrilled thou- sands during the last decade. During a lull in the closing day program, Holman volunteered to go aloft and stunt for the capacity holiday crowd. A stiff, treacherous wind was blowing above the field. For 15 minutes he ; had delighted the crowd with his sky antics. Barrel-rolls, outside loops, ‘Immelman turns, each in turn, brought spectators to their feet. Then a thunderous crash was heard as his plane fell. It rolled, plowed and bounced its way along for 200 feet before it stopped. The en- gine was thrown to one side and Hol- man’s body was thrown 10 feet from the battered shapeless wreckage. No official verdict on the cause of the fatal crash had been reached Monday.
