VICTORIA WHEW WESTMING Says interior Must be Linked up with Ocean. ST, 1.OUIS, Mo., Nov. 23--Millions of people in the inland states, who raise 7g per cent of the nation's wheat and sixty-five per cent of its corn, will not much longer submit to the handicap of : being economically isolated, Governor Theodore Christianson of Minneso! a, told the seventh annual convention of the Mississippi Vallty association. Alhough not favorng any particular i water course, the governor said inland states to grow industrially, must be linked wih seaports of eastern coast. : He cited tht proposed Great Lakes-St. , Lawrence channel: as the means of opening up inland territory for water- , Ways. "There nfver was mr a time in the persons could be kept permanently from the seaboard and men and | women Who occupy a tterritory ten times as large as France and who raise not only, but produce, eighty-five per cent of the nation's iron, will not ! submit to this economic handicap which {results from lack of watir frans- portation. TO HANG FOR MURDER, WINNIPEG, Nov. 23--John Stanton, haminer-murderer, of John Penny, an aged man in Winnipeg, December 1922 will pay the full penalty of the law for the crime. He was sentenced to hang on February 9th. Calmly and with bowed head, Stan- ton listened to the pronouncement of sentence. In a statement to the court, he =aid: I don't see why I should pay the death penally when men who act- ually did the killing and got the 'stuff' are walking the streets today. I don't think that is justice." The crime for which Stanton will go to the gallows was one of the most brutal in Winnipeg police history. At the trial it was shown that he had plotted to rob Penny of a sum of money and some jewelry. Penny was 70 years of age. He was well-known in Winnipeg some years back but after the death of his wife he Lecams morose and practically friendless. He got to live with him a man and a woman whose reputations were not of the best. The house in which he lived was ra'ded by policz on one occasion and a fine imposed ca the two who live with him for selling liguor. Cn the night of the murder the man and the woman were not in thehouse, but two of their" male friends were there. - Later in the evening Stanton arrived and went upstairs to where Penny was sleeping. The two men heard cries of murder, '1 but they did not go to Penny's assist- "ance. Later they left the house with- out investigating the affair. When the woman caretaker arrived home the next morning, she found Penny's body lying on the floor in the ¢ bedroom, the head bashed in almost beyond recognition. She informed the police who held her for several weeks. It was established beyond dispute, however, that she was not in the house at the time of the murder. Stanton's two associates were arrest- ed and they told their story incrim- inating Stanton. A long search flor the slaver than ensued. Police in all large cities were on the watch for h'm, but it was not until early last summer that he was arrested down south. Stanton was held for trial in ths Winnipeg jail and on October 6 with four other prisoners made a sensation- al escape. A few days later Stanton and two others were captured while asleep in a straw pike in southern Mantioba.
