 Many engineering difficulties enter into the situation in addition to the immensity of the undertaking. Build ings in the area to be filled, which comprises a great part of the city, must be razed, public traffic must not be Interrupted. material for filling must not be taken from any point near the sea wall, as it would strip the protect ing beach; railway and street car tracks must not be interfered with. But by far the greater problem for the engineers was where to procure cheaply the immense quantity of ma terial for the filling and how to dis tribute it To MT. Lindon W. Bates. the engineer whose plan has been adopted, belongs the credit of it's prac- ticaI solution. He conceived the idea of a distributing canal parallel to the sea wall
 The advantages of the canal are that the material from it will be used to

Ciowry Says His Recent Order Will
 Not Be Rescinded.
 New York, May 20--Simultaneous raids on twenty-two alleged pool rooms and pool room exchanges were made here to- day by the police acting under orders from Police Commissioner McAdoo.
 Axes. hammers and crowbars were used at many of the places to batter down specially constructed iron and steel doors and to gain entrance through bar red windows. Less than an hour was spent at the work and police officials are highly pleased with the result. Seventy prisoners were taken and many tele- phones and telegraph instruments were confiscated besides a number of books and racing charts that were found in the rooms.
 One of the places raided was in the Edison building in Broad Street in small vine covered house on the roof Of which thirty-four telephones and thirteen men were found.
 5 The police assert that this is the chief headquarters of the pool room syndicate in the distribution of each days racing information.
 President Clowry of the Western Union Telegraph Company said today that the abolition of the company's racing depart ment announced by him on Thursday Is to be permanent. He also said that the company will not lease wires to pool rooms. The company's branch offices at the race tracks will be maintained for the transmission of such messages as may be offered in the ordinary course of business

New Yorker Makes Fortune
 Through . Misunderstanding.
 New York, May 19.-Through a misun- derstanding on the real estate exchange J. c. Davies, a broker dealing in subur- ban lots, made a small fortune. He bought at auction for $s15 block of miscellaneous securities worth more than $1S,0
 The real estate man was leaving the building when he heard an auctioneer of- fering six shares of stock of well known trust company. No bidders were about and DaDvis calmly offered $50, finally raising his bid to $1OO. at which price the stock was knocked down to him. The last quotation on the stock was $390 and $41O asked,
 Davies then secured 125 shares of a Kanses City trust company at $1 each. The next purchase was seven shares in building company which owns a large office structure in Wall Street district. For these he paid 8 a share. They are worth about $700. Fifty shares of stock in a Newport club and eight shares in a Kentucky coal company went for few dollars.
 Some tim eafter the auction had been closed 1t was learned that a representa- tive of the owner who was to have been present to support the market and stocks from being sacrificed had misunderstood the order and he was not present.
 Davies offered to cancel his purchase belonged to a person who would be seri- ously hurt financially. This brought to light the fact that the sale was for the estate of Theodore Havemeyer and the dealer in suburban lots took up his bar gains.

 Methods of Election Discussed.
 St. Louis, May 20.-The seventh bi- ennial convention of the General Fed eration of women's Clubs reconvened to-day in the main hall of the Odeon.
 The first order of business was the consideration of the report of the Com rnittee on Nominations and Elections, submitted by Mrs. Conda Hamlin, chair man. owing to the bearing on the election of president that the adoption of changes In the rules would entail the majority of the delegates were ear ly on hand, and the electioneering, that was temporarily Interrupted yesterday, was resumed with vigor.
 Those interested in the candidacy of several of the women whose names were mentioned prominently in con nection with the presidency, made claims of pledges. but refused to make known the strength of their respective candidates for political reasons.
 A substitute for the recommendation of the committee on methods of elec- tion providing that the ballot boxes be used instead of sending individual ballots to the platform to be counted by the tellers there, caused a storm of objection.
 The substitute provided for an oral vote by States. the ballot of each delega- ton being announced from the floor by the State federation officers. Mrs. Wn- Hams of Minnesota declared that the oral method of voting destroyed the secrecy Of ballot.
 This view was supported by many dele gates, all of whom said it would be en- barrassing to announce their choice for any office before the assembled conven- tion. The substitute for the amendment was defeated and amendment providing for the use of the ballot box was unanimously carried. It was proposed to use the new method at the election of general officers of the Federation next Wednesday. but objection was raised on the ground that under the law of the District of Columbia. under which the general Federation is incorporated. the method of an election cannot be changed after such an election has been provided for.
 The business session of the general federation adjourned without taking degnite action on this point
