Transportation
on Missouri Held
to Be Necessary
Omaha, K. C. and St. Joseph
Flour Manufacturers Need
Cheap Avenues to Mar
kets, Says Congressman.
Kansas City, Mo., April 25. Water
transportation over the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers is practical, cheap
and necessary if a tie-up of transpor
tation is to be avoided when the next
extensive revival of business occurs,
Representative Cleveland A. Newton,
St. Louis, told the opening session
of the Mississippi Valley association
here today.
Cut-throat rates, said Mr. Icw-
ton, "have long been practiced by
the railroads in their efforts to pre
vent water transportation in this
country, and they are not only de
structive to river navigation, but de
structive to the railroads themselves.
Experience shows Jhat ,the railroads
never have and never will be able to
successfully compete with water
transportation, and every attempt
that thev make in that direction is a
source of needless expenditure. i
"There is no river in this country
the use of which is more needed to
bear its burdens of freight than the
Missouri from Kansas City to the
mouth. The wheat fields of western
Icwa, Nebraska and Kansas produce
millions of tons of freight which
ought to be given the benefit of cheap
water transportation over me .Mis
souri and , Mississippi rivers out to
the sea. and the flour manufacturers
at Kansas City, St. Joseph or Omaha
ought to be given the benefit of
cheap water transportation down
the Missouri and Mississippi to t-airo
and then up the Ohio to the great
flour market in the industrial fields
around Tittsburgh."

"Hard Labor for,
Life," Final Word
of Judge to Cole
Appeal of Slayer Who De
fended Self Denied "Not
Guilty," Prisoner's Plea
to Last.
The mysterious man who chooses
to call himself "Utto Lole stood be
fore District Judge Leslie yesterday
and heard these awful words: .
"You shall be taken from here to
the county jail and thence, within 30
days, to the state penitentiary, there
to be confined at hard labor for the
rest of your life.
Cole's face was impassive and he
turned from the court and was led
back to his dark, solitary cell in the
county jail.
When asked, before sentence,
whether he had anything to say, he
rose and said:
"I Am Not Guilty."
"Only that I am not guilty."
Several days' growth of whiskers
were on his face and he wore the
brown unionall jail earb.
James Walker, assistant public de
fender, argued the formal motion for
a new trial. .Among the allegations
was one that Cole had becu allowed
to waive his constitutional right to
have a lawver. The assassin of
President McKinlcy was not per
mitted to do this. Walker argued.
"For the reason that he was m
sane," said County Attorney Shot
well.
Ihe judge overruled the motion
before sentencing Cole.
Resigned to Fate.
It is less than a month since this
man emerged from the ocean of un
knowns when, on March 28, he shot
and killed Harry Hahn, secondhand
clothing dealer, in his store, - 414
South Tenth street.
His case attracted much attention
because be chose to act as his own
lawyer.'
Cole has served six previous sen
fences in various penitentiaries.
He is resigned to his fate. "I be
lieve I will npt be able to get out for
18 or J0 years, at least, he said.

Trace Wires for
Leaks, Says Expert
Many Amateurs Fail to
Achieve Maximum
Range.
"Why is it one receiving set will
hear Newark, Chicago, Pittsburgh
and Detroit without difficulty, while
another of similar construction can
hear only Omaha concerts?'' writes
a radio enthusiast.
This correspondent is experiencing
practically the same difficulties that
many radio amateurs new in the
game are.
t is safe to say that not more than
one-half the radio amateurs in Onia
ha are getting the maximum of
which their sets are capable. There
might be any number of reasons why
this is so.
The trouble may be in any of the
four following divisions of a radio
station: ,
No. 1 is the aerial. . ,
No. 2, the lead-in.
No. 3, the radio set proper.
No. 4, the ground connection.
If three of these are 100 per cent
efficient and the fourth is only 50 per
cent efficient, the set will not give
maximum results.
A lead-in that "leaks" will spoil
the results of the best set in exist
ence. It is a good plan to trace your
wires to see if the connections' are
perfect if receiving is poor, an expert
radio operator advises. '
