cost for doing nothing. the alleged ex.

tary laws at Panama must call for ap-
probation from everybody. however
much they may disrelish the necessity
for the trip. A necessity which tells SO
plainly that the President does not be-
lieve that he has ever at any time had
the whole truth about conditions.
This trip puts an end to all hope OF
the West getting visit from the Presi-
dent. He expected to go to San Fran
cisco in October. and had promised to
speak at the laying Of the cornerstone
OF the new Federal building there. He
had also promised to visit a few other
States and say things.
Benz. F. Barnes. Assistant Secretary
to the President, has been confirmed as
Postmaster of the City OF Washington,
after delay lasting many weeks. The
vote was So to 16. The Republicans
voted solidly for his confirmation with
a single exception and the Democrats
solfdly against 1t. The confirmation was
not to come without its sensational
scene-the most sensational in the his
tory Of the United States Senate. Sena-
tor Tillman, who has been fighting the
confirmation because Of the Mrs. Nor
rfs incident. made a speech in which he
then from a paper which lay upon his
desk drew forth the dress which Mrs.
Morris wore to the White House, and
showed the Senate the great gaping
hole in the dress where it had been
torn by dragging the wearer along the
asphalt. Senator Gallinger. Chairman
Of the District Committee Of the Sem
ate. was the single exception among the
Republicans. He voted against con-
frmation. Senator Carter, of Montana,
supported Mr.. Barnes in a speech He
was the only one who spoke for him.
Mr.. Barnes was born in Nova Scotia,
and when boy went to New Jersey.
where he lived till about 20. Then he
came to Washington in Government
employ. and has been here in that ca
pacity for IT years. The chief objec-
ton to him in Washington was that he
is a nonresident. and the people OF
Washington insist that their Postmas-
ter should be a resident Of the city.
Mr.. Barnes, though young man, is
considered exceptionally capable for the
position.

BETTER SERVICE on
ISLAND DfMANDED.'
Commissioners Order Transit Com
panies to Provide Adequate Fac
iIities for Richmond.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21:=Increased
railroad facilities for Staten Island
railroad facilities for Staten Island
ers are demanded by the Board Of
Railroad Commissioners, which ac-
cepted in executive session yesterday
a report of its electrical expert, Mr..
G. r. Barnes. Fifteen new closed
cars must be contracted for by De-
eember and the companies must give
satisfactory assurances that they will
proceed to the best of their abilities
to give to the people of Richmond
borough adequate transportation fa-
cilities.
In his report Mr.. Barnes scores the
Staten Island, Midland and Rich
mond Light and Railroad companies
for their utter disregard of the rights
of the travelling public.
He declares that the companies did
not provide during the last summer,
and are not at present providing, pro-
per transportation facilities; that the
new tunnel at st. George should be
completed within three weeks, and
that it would be better to wait until
this is in operation before deciding
on more drastic regulations.
The companies have not in three
years, he says, added to their equip
ment, although traffic has increased
enormously during that time. I'm
der the present conditions there can
not be proper transportation ar
engagements tais winter, and in his
opinion the board IS justified in taxi
ing the most drastic measures to
compel better service in every way.

TEMPLE FOR PLAINFIELD.
Machinists' Union Planning to Erect
Eour-stOrY Structure.

PLAINFIELD, Nov. 21:-Mem-
bers of Local Union 1877, Internation-
al Order of Machinists, have now I'M
der way plans for the erection of a
labor temple, in the centre of the
city.
The union has already obtained an
option on the site of which the pro-
posed temple will stand.
Aid has been solicited from the
members of the other local unions,
and they are working with the ma
chinists for the success of the pro-
ject. The structure will be four
stories high, and will be built either
of brick OF granite.
Il is the intention of those engi-
neering the project to have the ma
tional and state conventions of the
order AXE place in Plainfield, as well
as the meetings of other bodies, and
with this end in view the committee
is planning to have the structure
erected with a capacity of 5000 per-
sons.
Plainfeld is considered a very de-
sirable location for the reason that it
is within a short distance of the me-
tropolis, AS the east is the centre of
unionism, the selection of the site is
very pleasing to labor union officials
in this city and elsewhere.
