Chairman Dempsey of the House rivers and harbors committee in a | statement today urged construction of an all-American water route from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic in preference to one through the St. Lawrence River. He declared the waterway should o from the Great Lakes through ew York State to the Hudson, but did not favor any particular course through the Emplre State. He said he would favor the route selected by cngineers as most practicable.

The mysterfous slaying of a family of three near Batavia Saturday night remained unsolved, as guns and knives Sunday brought death to three, including one policeman. With an abandoned automobile, which was expected to yield finger prints, the most promising clue, au- thorities of neighboring counties were undecided whether the slaying of Henry Jeske, bank clerk, his wife Eva, and six-year-old son, Ralph, was the work of a robber or of a degenerate secking revenge.
