MORE CHARGES AGAINST RYAN
STURGIs SAYS HE BOUGHT INFERIOR
GOODS AND PAID EXORBITANT
PRICES

Fire Commissioner Sturgis said yesterday thd1
there were much more serious charges against
Patrick F. Ryan, chief of Construction ana Re-
pair Of the Fire Department, than had peeh
so far reported. Those made public up TO the
present, he said, only minor ones. ne
most Serious charge accused Ryan of Wlnuny
receiving and accepting goods of an INFERIOR
quality for use in the department shops WheR
his acquisitions stipulated that the best shoulu
be used. Besides this, it was alleged tnat ne
had paid exorbitant prices for materials Ihese
alleged offences principally affected the WOOD
working department. Mr. Sturgis declared that
the substitution of interior material in the max
ing of engine or hook and ladder truck poles
might have caused loss of life.
The next most important charge, in Mr..
Sturgiss estimation, that of allowing EN-
ployes of the repair shops to make unnecessary
overtime. Some of them had been pa1d Tor
working on Saturday afternoons and on Sun
days, when il not necessary. One instance
had been reported to him in which man had
made 81 100 in addition to his regular salary
by working overtime.
Forty-eight hours notice that the charges
We're pending against him was given to Ryan.
and they will be heard this morning

ARMORY BOARD ASKS RIVES TO TAKE
ACTION ON SITE FOR TROOP c ARMORY.
The Armory Board yesterday asked Corporation
Counsel Rives to begin proceedings to have set
aside the award Of $50 900 made by the Damage
and Grade Commission in Brooklyn for the site
for the Troop c Armory, in Bedford-ave. Mr.
Rives told the board that $1,000 enough for
the property. When told OF the request of the
board Mr. Rives said that he would begin the
proceedings soon possible
cit is unfortunate thing that title for this
property already vested in the city he said 1T
is customary TO the title four months after
the cord emnation proceedings begun. The
commissioners in this delayed making their
report until the four months had expired and the
title had vested, so that placed In awk-
ward position. 1t is only another illustration Of
of letting title in the city before tho
proceedings be reviewed. At the hearings each
side had four witnesses. Our highest witness
placed the value Of the property at $32 900. and I
don't think it is worth cent more than that. The
owners paid something like $61 800 for the site and
as much additional property surrounding it. The
gas lamps, and the streets not cut through.
When they the site will be fourteen feet above
the grade. OF course We will fight the award in
the courts long have chance TO win"
The Armory Board on advice from Mr.. Rives.
rejected the plans Of Horgan & Slattery, the Tam
many architects, for an armory for the I'd Naval
Battalion in Brooklyn. A resolution was passed
asking the advisory architects for BROOKLYN TO
prepare plans for a competitive scheme like the
one for plans for the 69th Regiment Armory.

OPPOSED TO AMERICAN TRADE.
MR.. TARTE MAKES SPEECH AGAINST IN
VAsION OF AMERICAN GOODS
IBT TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.


Halifax, Aug. III. I. Tarte, Canadian Min
ister of Public Works, made stirring speech
which was received with enthusiasm at the an
nual dinner of the Canadian Manufacturers AS
sociation in this city tonight In ringing tones
he declared that Canadians must no longer see
their markets slaughtered by American manu-
facturers and the great trade of the Continent
carried in American and through American
channels
The remedy he proposed was Improvement OF
the Canadian waterway and higher tariff.
He added:
We must have transportation from west to
east through Canadian channels This country
must be one: it must he united by cheaper
transportation and a strong Canadian tariff:
the shortest route 10 the seabOard is destined TO
be the great carrying highway, not only Of
Canadian wheat fields but Of the whole Amerl-
can continent. We have route from Georgian
Bay to Liverpool that is three hundred miles
shorter than by way of New-York. The Cana
dian Pacific Railroad and Grand Trunk must
work together TO carry that trade by way OF
Canadian routes.
The minister stated that Canada would soon
have a fast Atlantic line. and it would be the
best that could be got Halifax in winter ana
Quebec in summer are the natural terminals
