lowed a conference which he held at
Washington recently with Senator
Harding, at which is is understood
the republican nominee for president
discussed with him the possibility of
ratification completed by the repub
lican legislature of Vermont.
In giving his reasons for refusing
again to call a special session Gov
ernor Clement said the proposed
amendment clearly invad.es the con
stitution of Vermont; that the pres
ent legislature was elected before the
(luestion of ratifying the federal
amendment had arisen, and that the
people of the state have had no op
portunity to express themselves on
the issue.
The governor proposed that the
matter be taken up by the next leg
islaiure and urged that candidates
for election be required to declare
themselves on it.
Governor Clement's proclamation
asserted that as "it stands and is
interpreted by the supreme court to
day, the federal constitution
threatens the foundation of free
popular government."
"Lobbied" Through Congress
The Seventeenth amendment to
the constitution, he said, had been
lobbied through congress and state
legislatures, by federal agents, and
the Eighteenth amendment had been
forced through by "powerful and ir
responsible organizations, operating
through paid agents."
"It is now proposed to force
through the Nineteenth amendment
for woman suffrage in the same man
ner and also without the sanction
of the freemen.
"I have been asked to overlook
these considerations as a matter of
party expediency, but this is a mat
ter of principle, not expediency, and
the party that invades a well estab
lished principle of popular govern
ment will suffer to the end."

WELLAND CANAL
TO RIVAL PANAMA
Waterway Being Reconstructed
on Vast Scale.
OPENS WAY FOR OCEAN SHIPS
Cost is Estimated at $0,000,000, but
May Exceed This Figure Before
Work Is Completed Will Be Three
Miles Shorter Than Present Canal
and Have Minimum Depth ef 25
Feet.
While 1 lie Panama canal will al
ways rank us one of the world's great
vt artificial waterways and probably
the greatest engineering feat of all
time. Cauada is to have a canal that
will run it u closer second. Iu fact,
there Is one lock with three lifts lu
the new Welland canal that is hijjtir
than any iu the Panama canal. The
whole construction is massive and the
cost is to be stupendous the estimate
Is $!0,lM.tuu. and the builders figure
on the job lasting four or five years
longer; so there is a chance for costs
to idle up In ways not now dreamed of.
.There has been a cuual connecting
Lakes Erie and Ontario for three
quarters of a century, but the present
project is virtually a new one, although
In the greater part of Its length It oc
cupies tlie original sites. Since the
car.al was first opened it has lieen en
larged from time to time until when
the new work was started In 101,'J It
had a depth of 14 feet, with 2." locks,
each enpuble of handling a vessel i:T0
feet long. When finished this time It
will be about three miles shorter, have
a depth of L'fi feet at the shallowest
point, be 1!0 feet wide at the bottom,
and Instead of 2.r locks will have a
total of seven, each large enough to
handle vessels fU.Hi feet long. Each
lock will lift a boat 4iU feet, ami I one
with a triple lift, has a combined
height of l.'MPi feet, which is greater
than -any Panama lock.
. Opens Way for Ocean Ships.
The portion of the canal that Is en
tirely new begins at Port Ialhoule.
the present Lake Ontario terminus,
and strikes the old route about five
miles Inland. From there on to Lake
Erie the work is reconstruction, strict
ly speaking. The country through
which the new part has been cut com
prised some of eastern Ontario's besi
fruit farms before 3913.
Ocean-going freight ships inn come
from any port In the world direct to
any great lakes port when the canal
! completed, and" certain dredging op
emtions now In progress in the St.
Lawrence river are done. Lake Erie
is .120 feet higher than Lake Ontario,
and before the first canal was built
Niagara falls barred direct water traf
fic between the two.
The canal is wholly In Canada and
uns almost due north and south
about a dozen miles west of Niagara
river. At present the time of trans't
required for a boat, which must not be
more than 270 feet long nor of more
than 14 feet draft. Is 15 to IS hours.
In the new canal boats 800 feet long
and of "." feet draft can be transferred
from one lake to the other in eight
hours. It Is estimated that a boat can
be run Into a lock, the lock tilled, arid
the lift completed In 20 minutes.
A Big Figure Project.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
undertaking can be gained from the
following specifications printed in the
Toronto Globe: At Torold the flight
of three double locks and a fourth lock
Just above them, with a total depth
of 3S feet, must be hewn from solid
rock. At Port Weller. one of th
largest harbors In the world is being
constructed. It Is artificial In every
respect. Two earth embankments made
from excavations, extending a mile
and a.balf into Iakw Ontario, giving a
basin with .'SO feet of water at the
lowest stage. The harbor will re
quire the placing of S.ono.tuNi ruble
yards of material. At the outer end
of the embankment piers TOO feet long
will be built, laying a 400-foot pasvage
for the entrance of vessels. For a
mile from the Port Weller entrance the
canal will be SOO feet wide at the bot
tom, with a minimum depth of 25
feet. A pier 3.000 feet long will ex
tend to the first lock and be used for
dockage purposes. The entrance prs
are founded on concrete cribs as big
as dwelling houses. Nineteen of these
cribs are already completed and in
position. At least 'M more will be re
quired. The present Lake Erie terminus at
Port Colborne will he retained, with a
few changes, large when viewed alone,
but insignificant when looked at from
the standpoint of the undertaking as
a whole.
All locks are to be built as twins ao
as to allow ships to pass each other
without waste of time.
Housewives to Cut Bread Cost.
Following the action of the house
wives' leagues of Norfolk and Ports
mouth, Ta., calling for the bakirg of
their own bread before paying mon
than 10 cents a loaf, the retail gro
cers of the two eitles agreed not to
handle bread they could not retail for
10 cents a loaf.
Spurned His Offer te Do Housework.
His promise to do all of the house
work failed to bring his wife bark to
him, declared Howard C. Edwards of
Pleasantvllle, N. J. He is suin.j for
divorce, alleging his wife left hint
ood after they were married.
BASIL ZAHAFiOFF IS
"MAN OF MYSTERY"
European Philanthropist Reputed
to Be the World's Richest
Person.
Sir Basil Zaharoff, G. C. B., G. B.
E.. who is to visit the United States
soon on a special financial mission, is
a man of mystery, Edgar C. Middle
ton writes in the Sim and New York
Herald.
Resident of London. Paris, Athens,
Madrid and Monte Carlo, aiuusser of
magical millions and plotter of sen
sational philanthropic 5iirpres." his is
perhaps the siranget tale of riches
and romance iu the history of the
modern world. He is Greek by birih.
but Freuch by choice of naturalization.
In the war, at one time and another,
he was instrumental in saving Prance,
Britain and Italy from financial chaos,
particularly Frame.
Like every mau of outstanding ge
nius, the "millionaire of mystery,"' as
he Is called iu Europe. hcri-hes his
own pet Idiosyncrasy. He hales wom
en. The wealthiest in;m in Europe,
possibly in all the w.rld. at sixty -.Ive
lie remains a bachelor. Modern aids
to labor are equally anathema to him;
he has no use for automobiles he has
never ridden in one; he has ii.i use
for typewriters; no letter bearing hi.s
sgnuture has ever left his ,; sehce
otherwise than in pen and ink. ili
secretary writes in long hand from hi
dictation, while he al:s his signature
in a different ink. lie has not flown and
swears he never will liy in au air
plane. Yet he recently established a chair
of aeronautics in the Sorboniie and a
similar chair in the l'ui eisii y of
Petrograd. He gave sil'.'mi i o the
London university for a chair of Hy
ing und a like amount to oxford for a
chair of French. He presented SUm.
000 to a fund for training French ath
letes for the Oljmpic games. He gave
$2,500,000 a year l the Greek gov
ernment during the I'.alkan wars. The
city of Athens received sr.oo.tmo from
him for the establishment of a radio
telegraph station, while palatial lega
tions for the Greek government have
been provided by him in nearly every
capital of the world.,
Philanthropy is the one relaxation
he permits himself. It is characteris
tic of the man that, while his gifts
are enormous, the lucky man or worn
an to whom they are made rarely
knows their source.
Zaharoff has a habit of descending
suddenly on deserving charities. With
out any foolish preliminaries he will
demand how much they require, w by j
the amount is required and for what
purpose it will be ufed and makes out
a check for the am'ount on the spot.
Then he disappears as mysteriously as
he came. i
