and that is the influence OF Cyrus 1e-
land Smith was one of the leaders of
the anti-Leland crusade last year, and
Mr. Leland is not a good hand at for
getting. 1t was the influence of Leland
and his friends that defeated A. w.
Smith, and Coulter was simply one of
the instruments in their hands.
Cyrus Leland is by no means dead
politically, and he still has a large
retinue of friends. They went to juno
ton City and did not tell any one what
they went there for. They began lay
ing the wires for Smiths defeat, and
when Norton was swept into Office by
a whirlwind of votes the Smith people
were stunned and it took them a long
tine to realize what had happened.
They thought that Smith would over
whelm his opponent, and they did not
count upon the powerful influences that
were at work against him, or perhaps
they did not know about them.
The delegates were told that O. H
Coulter had been living upon the G. A
r. for ten years, and that Smiths cleo

general, a position with a salary at

pool room, Chief of Police O'NeiIl and
several detectives from the central sta

on charges of conspiracy to defrauG.
The CON plainant who will appear
against them is S. L. Seabrook, a traV-
cling man, who alleges he came near
being the victim of a swindle involving
several thousand dollars.
Seabrook himself assisted the police
in making the raid. It was but a short
time after the men reached police head

ers Don't Want Pavement

At the meeting of the streets and
walks committee OF the council held
Friday afternoon, a vigorous protest was
made by S. NJ Wood and other prop
erty holders to the pavement of Kansas
avenue from Tenth to Fourteenth.
Mr.. Wood presented the case of the
proprietOrS to the committee, and w. S
McCIintOck was there to represent the
petitioners.
Mr. Wood said that the people down
there did not want 90-fOots pavement,
and that they did not know what they
were signing when they asked for it He
said further that there was no sewer
south of Thirteenth street, and that no
pavement should be laid till the sewer
should be built.
Mr.. Woods protest was referred to the
city engineer for an opinion.
After a long session in the committee
room, the committee went in the patrol
wagon with Street Commissioner Frank
Snyder to inspect some of the work
which is in progress on the streets, and

that he will make a good officer, but
nearly everybody thought that Smith

words, all cities located on the west
bank of the Mississippi river Such
changes as these are drawing the lines
and a sea of distribution of New York
closer and. closer and we should have
the cooperation of merchants here to
take up and fight just such propositions
which are driving freight to western
distributing centers. The only thing to
do now is to go right ahead and protest
against the changes that are to take
effect on August 1.
These changes have been effected
through influence brought to bear on
the railroads by the St. Louis, Kansas
City and Chicago traffic bureaus, which
the merchants of these cities support to
obtain such results as this in the equal
ization of rates and classification of
their respective geographical situa
tons"
Mr.. William r. Corwine of the Afer-
chants association, said that the
changes announced in the western clas-
sification are being compared carefully
with the present schedule and if the
new ratings are found to be hurtful to
New York and shippers to this section
the association would take the matter
up with the western classification COM

SHIP BUILDING ACTIVITY.

WHILE SEVERAL United
Wv States senators are busily
preparing a revised edition
of the ship subsidy bill and making
plans to push it through congress,
the industry which they claim to be
so sorely in need Of stimulation from
the public coffc4s goes right along
making records unprecedented in the
annals of American ship building.
A dispatch to the New York Sun
from Bangor, Me-, says that while
ship building is prosperous all along
the coast of Maine this year, Bath
Is particularly prosperous, and the
new feet turned out there in 1901
viii be notable, both for the aggre-
gate of tonnage and for the char
acter of the vessels. In addition to
.21,435 tons of naval boats, there are
under construction in the ship yards
of Bath 27,40O of merchantmen to
cost over S1,5O0,00O.
Since the first of the year Bath
has already turned out sol tons of
naval vessels and 24,s7s tons of
merchantmen. This brings up the
total tonnage of vessels launched
this year and now under construc-
ton to 1922, aggregating in value
Se,510,150. "These figures" says the
dispatch, establish a new record for
Bath, both in tonnage and in value"
In view of these figures and
similar unprecedented activity in the
ship yards all along the Atlantic. on
the Pacific coast and on the great
lakes, it will be interesting to dis
cover by what arguments the claim
that a subsidy is essential to the
prosperity of the ship building in
dustry viii be bolstered Up.
