FINISHING ORDER
Tri-City Railway Company at
Work on Last of Forty Big
Cars at Local Shops.
TO MAKE A SMALLER TYPE
For Use on the Elm Street and Pros.
pect Park Lines-WOrk for
Outside Parties.

| Work on the last of the 40 big cars
ordered by the directors of the Tri-
| City Railway company is under way
in the car shops on Fifth avenue.
The big cars are the comfort of the
travelling public. and are finer than
are found in cities of much larger
population than either of the three,
and will compare favorably with any
thing to be seen in the metropolitan
centers They are - feet long. and
have accommodations for n much lar
ger number Of passengers than the
ordinary cars. They have already
Eeen installed on the Blue and Red
lines here, the Third street and loop
lines in Davenport, and the Bridge sys
tenn. These are the lines on which
traffic is the heaviest, and it was for
them that the new and improved cars
have been built
Twelve Of the big cars are on the
floor for completion. None Of these
will be used on the Elm street or
Prospect Park lines because they are
too large to be serviceable. But the
company has plans fer constructing
new smaller cars for these lines, and
there is work in sight to keep the
shops busy en- the company's equip
ment for Il year to come. Already,
outside concerns are making inquiries
as to the ability of the company to do
outside work.
Force of Sixty Men.
There is at present Il force of 60
men employed at the car shops of the
company and the work turned out
will compare with that manufactured
at any other car mandatory in the
country, which speaks well for the
enterprise and progressiveness of the
local street car company.

BOSTON OPENS
GREAT TUNNEL
Subway Connecting the Two
Portions of the City Is
Dedicated to Public Use

BOSTON, Dec. 3o-The submarine
tunnel. connecting Boston and East
Boston. was opened for public travel
to-day. The dedication Of the tunnel to
public use was carried out without any
formality.
The tunnel is double-tracked, IA
miles long, 200 feet of which are under
the harbor waters. The cost Of con-
struction was s3.OOO.o0O. The tunnel
was built by the city of Boston. which
has leased it for a term of twenty-five
years, dating from 1897, to the Boston
Elevated Railway Company, which will
use the tunnel exclusively for the
passage Of it's electric cars between
Boston and East Boston.
About four and q half years have
been consumed in constructing the tun-
mel. in the accomplishment OF which
many difficult engineering problems
had to be solved, chiefly on account Of
the maze of underground pipes, sewers
and wires and also because Of the peril
Gus nature of the work of digging the
large passageway underneath the bed
sof the Boston harbor.
The tunnel is built entirely OF con-
crete and is the only tunnel of that kind
in the world. In arranging for the sta
tions. the builders made use Of historic
ground, for the entrance near Wash

Says Law Could Be Framed

CHICAGO, Dec. 3o.-Edward B. Whit
fore the American Political Science and
Economic Association that Congress
has the direct power to put an end to
the United States Steel Corporation, the
anthracite coal pool and similar cor
porations. In a paper upon Govern
mental Interference With Industrial
Combinations" he asserted that a law
forbidding a company engaged in inter
state commerce to engage in a produc-
tive industry would prohibit such "ag-
generations.
His paper was read before joint ses-
sion of the two associations and was
followed by a general discussion. in
which President ]. W. jerks OF Cornell
and z. z. Prussing OF Chicago took the
lead.
Regulation Of pools and railways by
the Government was also discussed at
the joint session.
Professor Adam Shortt OF Queens
University, Kingston. Canada, read a
paper entitled Preferential Trade Be
tween Canada and Great Britain" He
said in part:
Any system by which Britain and Canada
might attempt to tie themselves up TO mu-
tually preferential trade Is open to very sert-
Gus objections The colonies have no possible
compensation to offer Britain for the rsvolu-
the adoption OF a protective policy in their
interests would involve On the other hand
Canada is a country undergoing rapid expan-
sion. whieh has already involved important
changes In her economic conditions With all
the varied possibilities OF her internal develop
ment and future trade relations II would be
very unvise to tie herself up by hard and fast
commercial treaties with any country what
ever.
Entire fiscal freedom is absolutely ESSENTIAL
to her efectivs expansion and free trade IN
capital Is more important to her than either
free trade or PREFERENTIAL trade IN goods. So
far as preferential OF free trade Is undertaken
Canada, the action Is perfectly reasonable.
This Is the basis OF our existing preference
teal preference on American goods Like
treatment of Canadian goods By other coun-
tries which realize their need Of them Is the
only permanent preference which we may hope
for. Nothing but friction. recrimination and
bitterness can be the ultimate outcome OF
preference founded sentimental instead
Of business basis.
Professor A w. Flux Of McGill Uni
versity. Montreal, Canada, devoted
himself to the question. DO Reciprocal
Preferential Tariffs Tend Toward Free
Trader" He said among other things:
Waiting for reciprocity has deferred rather
than hastened movements toward freedom cf
commerce Recent reciprocity treaties OF the
United States do not increase hopefulness OF
the outlook for advance by this road In pro-
