New York Broadway Tuesday
bade farewell to the man who taught
Mischa Elman and Jascha Heifets to
play the violin. Perhaps the late Dr
Leopold Auer cared little for Broad
way during his lifetime, but that
mattered not to Broadway. For he
was a celebrity of sorts, and Tues
day at his funeral a pupil more fa
mous than the master played.
So, while Jascha Heifetz, pale and
grave, solmnly played the Schubert
"Ave Maria" at the bier of his friend
and teacher in a Broadway funeral
establishment, crowds ot perspiring
humans pounded on the doors out
side, argued stormily with the po
lice, clamored for admission. And
when the ' service had ended they
pressed curious, gaping faces against
the windows of the limousines in
which Dr. Auer's more celebrated
pupils followed his body to the grave.
Greedy hands grabbed at the floral
tributes, tearing away buds for sou
venirs. Several of the pieces were
badly damaged.
In the chapel, four priests in gol
den robes stood at the corners of the
ensket and chanted the ancient and
beautiful ritual of the Russian or
thodox church. Josef Hoffman play

North Platte, Neb., Aug. 26.
Keith Neville, war governor of Ne
braska, asked the American Legion
members to support the cause of good
roads in Nebraska, in a talk today
before the state convention here.
He spoke of the loss to the farmers
through the slow progress being made
in road paving in this state, and said
there was no reason why counties
should not issue bonds for roads, as
they have done for schools.
The former governor said in part

According to Dr. M. O. Becknel,

nineteen year old Orleans negro,
serving nine to fourteen years for
assault and robbery, was killed in
the riot. The general penitentiary
officers here disclaimed any knowl

of the warden declined to give out

There are still a few farmers who
believe that they get no benefit from
a hard road unless it runs by their

on July 3 will eliminate interrup

now occur during seasons of low
water and droughts, according to Col.
George C. Lambert, necretary-treas-
urer of the Farmers Union Terminal
Association and one of the most ac
tive workers for the upper river de
velopment.
With the completion of the series
of dams included in the channel pro
ject there will be no danger of the
water ever falling below the nine-
foot depth. Colonel Lamber said.
"In the canal type of channel to
be constructed in the upper Missis
sippi, the required depth can be
maintained by a comparatively small
stream of water," he explained. "En
gineers have pointed out that the
minor tributaries of the Mississippi,
rivers such as the Minnesota River
near St. Paul, will be sufficient to
insure the nine-foot channel depth
upon completion of the dams.. There
is no record of a drought so severe
in the Mississipi territory that all

It will be one of the series which will
serve to maintain the nine-foot
depth. Since Congress discarded the
six-foot channel project for the up
per Mississippi, all contemplated
work on the river is being carried
out to fit into the nine-foot plan
wheh was substituted. Under the act
which authorized the new channel
depth, an appropriation of $10,000,
000 was made available for the work.
This amount included the funds total
ing approximately $2,500,000 which
remained to be expended on the ori
ginal six-foot project.
"Proponents of the deep-river
project feel that they have now ac
complished their main purpose, and
it only remains for them to stimulate
the appropriation of funds to carry
out the work that has already been
authorized," Colonel Lambert said.
"According to the preliminary sur
vey of the special board of engin
eers appointed to investigate the
none-foot project, the total cost of
the channel on the upper Missis
sippi from the Twin Cities to St.
Louis was estimated at $9 8,000,000."
The same act which provided for
the nine-foot channel also author
ized the continuance of the special
board of engineers appointed to make
the survey for the expansion of the
Mississippi River development. This
board is now engaged in making a
detailed study of the rived to deter
mine the exact manner in which the
nine-foot channel shall be built.
