TICKETS TO THE PARK
FEE TO BE CHARGED
 BY AMUSEMENT COMPANY.
Further Effort to Block Traction Com- pany from Hauling Passengers
 to Electric Park-More
 Litigation Expected.

The newest phase Of the controversy between the Montgomery Traction Company and the Amusement Compa- my over the efforts of the former to operate cars to Electric Park Is the by the Amusement Com pany that beginning Sunday an ad- mission fee of ten cents will be charged to the park and that 9 gate keeper will be provided
 The Montgomery Street Railway. competitor of the Traction Company. announces that round trip tickets to the park. including admission to the grounds. will be sold for ten cents.
 The effect of this new order. unless the Traction Company Is successful in having it set aside by the courts, will be to deny patrons of the Traction Company admission to the park un- less they pay the admission fee charged by the Amusement Company. It may be. too, that the Amusement Company will not provide gate to the park near the terminus of the Traction Company line and that pa irons of that company will have to walk around the pleasure grounds to the gate which will be located at the terminus of the other railway com pany.
 In his recent decision. wherein he held that the Traction Company must remove its tracks from Electric Park but could operate cars to within fifty feet of the fence, Judge Jones of the United States court expressly declined to pass upon the right of the Amuse- ment Company to exclude persons from the park. but it was held that the park Is private property.
 Lawyers for the Traction Company said yesterday afternoon that 1t was probable some action would be taken concerning this new phase of the sit uation. Just what this action would be they could not undertake to say.
 Naham U. Griel. Treasurer of the Amusement Company, said last night that the Street Railway had pur- chased a large block of tickets of ad- mission to the park for the use of its patrons.
 It is highly probable that the con- troversy will again find its way to the United States court today.

Present Schemes Mean It's

LOW ERING THE FALLS
TEN COMPANIES HAVE CHARTERS
TO TAP UPPER RIVER.
Great Cataract Might Do the Work Of
All the Engines and Dynanos

Copyright 1905, by John Elrreth Watkips)
The President, in his forthcoming mes
sage, will most enphaticllly recommend
that Congress save to the American people
the magnificent Falls of Niagara, foremost
among the natural wonders of the world.
Niagara is marked to fall a victim to
modern commercialism. She is to be shorn
of her beauty forthwith, and her destruc-
ton has been plotted. Indeed the date has
been set Such is the warning just placed
before the chief executive by the American
Civic Association 1t embodies the views
of eminent engineers.
1t is the same old story of commercial
vandalism which reduced the bison to one
herd and threatened the big trees of Cali
rornia. When, some years ago, company
was permitted to tap the Niagara river
above the fals-to make one tapping upon
the American and the other upon the Can
adam side-it was estimated that the edg
of the great cataract would be lowered
'only several inches and that this lower
ing would not be noticeable But now
enters the field the tenth company au-
thorized to tap that precious water. and
this tenth company has proven the last
straw.
Now, here is what these vandals are do
ing: 1t began in 1872. when Augustus Pof-
ter. one Of the principal proprietors OF Nj
agara PROPOSED a system of canals from
HE river above to the high bluffs overlook

was to be sent over large Water-Whee4S

''Ill be back right away" called Fenton,

the street.
In after years Fenton never forgot that
walk He had not reckoned on the picture
he would produce-he, clubman, bachelor
and well known, wheeling baby carriage
through the streets of his home City. The
baby whimpered, sobbed, then screeched
and screamed with all the strength of its
lungs. At first Fenton talked TO it, whistled
to 1t and jounced 1t: then he let 1t scream
and accepted the inevitable with stolidly
unmoved face. Women of his acquaintance
whom he met showed indignation or amaze

himself appealed to them the more The
men stared griuned and looked volumes.
Beyond this they did not venture. Dick
Fenton. for all his good nature, was not

At A Green street Fenton found a frantic
mother who snatched the baby from the
carriage almost before the wheels ceased
TO turn. The deafening screams stopped
instantly, and the baby in its mothers ARD
bent two wet, grieved eyes ON its unwilling
kidnaper.
What do you mean by letting my baby
cry Its eyes out?" stormed the woman.
