TOLL FREE BRIDGES.
Aldermen VIII Consider Them to Give
Bingham His Sl6l 900.

Borough President Ahearn submitted to
yesterdays meeting Of the Board of Alder
men a resolution abolishing tolls on the
Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges. Last
year an act was passed by the Legislature
designating the roadways of the bridges as
public highways. The intent OF the act
was to permit the Rapid Transit Commission
to plan for an interborough rapid transit
system by laying routes across the bridges.
In presenting his resolution Mr.. Ahearn
said that no tolls ought to he collected on
public highways. The tolls collected last
year on Brooklyn Bridge amounted to over
$4,000. The resolution was referred to
the Committee on Bridges to give public
hearing.
Alderman Muligan (M. o. introduced a
resolution protesting against the imagined
intention OF the city to purchase the Thirty
ninth street ferry at an e14rbitant price
and instructing the CommNtee on Docks
and Ferries to investigate the matter. The
resolution was adopted. The Aldermen have
no power in the matter.
The Finance Committee reported ad-
versely on proposal to appropri iate $40 900
to complete the purchase OF land on which

lyn. The committee doubted II the land
was worth so much. The report was
adopted, the Municipal Ownership members
voting against the appropriation. Little
Tim Sullivan said he thought they must
be insincere M. O.'s.
The Aldermen adopted unanimously a
resolution approving OF the bill pending
in the Legislature for the removal OF the
railroad tracks from Eleventh avenue.
Among the appropriations approved was
81 81 900 for Police Commissioner Bingham
to enable him to put policemen on police
work and hire other men for clerical and

Another OF Mr.. Conried's song birds

cital In Carnegie Hall. Public expectations
must have been wrought to very high
pitch, for suoh an audience B rarely seen at
any musical entertainment. However, all
things seek their level in the world Of art,
and perhaps the most pointed comment
made on this recital was the fact that one Of
the greatest songs In the list, Strauss's
.Traum durch die Dammer,lng.' was per-
nitted to pass with faint ripple OF ap-
plause, while Horato Parkers Love In
May was enthusiastically encored.
Mme: Eames's programme looked to be
well within her limitations, but Carnegie
Hall was merciless to her. 1t brought out
all the wirness of her upper tones and that
extraordinary acidity OF color which so
frequently mars the natural beauty OF her
voice. 1t also disclosed her inability to
enunoiate text SO as to make 1t Ineligible.

words, perhaps easier for many to under

more beautiful in the all devouring spaces

partly covered by an orchestra than In

paniment.
The emotional content OF such songs as
the Strauss composition already mentioned,
Schubert's Gretchen ain Spinnrade' and
Brahmss Meme liebe is grin" are beyond
this singers powers Of expression. She

tone and elegant style, but that Is all. Even

that advertising on their atten-

GOVERNMENTS LAST CHANCE
Professor Milukof, However, Think
Gear VIII Lose It.

St. Petersburg, May 2s.-Professor
Milukoff, thespokesman of the constitu-
-+ioual democrats, according to a
, thoughtful article published this morn
ing in the Rech, is rather Respondent
over the prospect of staying the tide Of
revolution in the country.
| He bases his pessimism upon che con-
viction that the government will not
yield full constitutional regiment with
which he says it is still possible to calm
the passions of the people. He regards
premier Goremykin and his cabinet as
mere puppets doing the bidding Of the
powerful influences at court, and be-
1ieves that Emperor Nicholas Is des-
tined to throw away the opportunity, as
did Louis XVI did, Of transferring the
country to peaceful parliamentary
regime.
This the professor considers to be the
government s last chance, and that re-
fusal to do so will cut the ground from
under the constitutional democrats and
strengthen the revolutionary elements,
which are preaching that parliament
tarism is an illusion, and make anarchy
and bloody revolution inevitable
Nevertheless the constitutional demo.
Gratis will persevere in their attempts
to place the country on solid constitu.
tional basis, and if they fail and disas-
ter follows, the responsibility will not
be upon their shoulders.
