zINGARElLA MAKES
HIT At LUNA PARK

WWith two glib free features as hip
podrome attractions, and the retaining
of the new Greater WaWshingtOn Band
I'm the musical shell. Luna Park began
q week of unsUal attractiveness last
night.
The announcement that the big resort
would keep open throughout the month
of October has been responsible for an
added interest in the park.
That talented little perfOrmer-RsAsing-
areiia-has made a big hit at Luna,
and her performances are always both
novel and interesting. The fact that
she acc0mplishes such remarkable feats
on the spiral tower has placed her IN
the front rank of aerial artists.
A performance that has been waited
for through several weeks took place
last night on the incline of the shoot
the ChuteS-" 1t was the sensational
ride for life down the steep grade by
Master Harry Rector, a mere boy OF
seventeen.

however. II can be stated that Count
Witte. at session OF the council OF the

ical statement. which is interpreted by
many members OF the council as virtual
declaration that his career as premier Is
ended and that ne will be succeeded by
Privy Councillor Kokovsoff former min
lister OF finance.

the treasury Is in no condition 20 ad-
vance the money 10 the banks for this
purpose. Count Witte advocated a scheme
under which the banks should purchase
the land with Is years credit bonds in
stead OF cash.
A marked division of the cabinet de-

posed the premier. Suddenly NJ Ko-
kovsoff arose and in warm speech
earnestly supported Count Whites views.
when he had concluded Count Witte

OFTEN A CURSE
Such temporary reductions Of rates as
are the result OF such a policy are more
often a curse than a benelt, in that they
are unstable. and a cause for discomfort
when all either do not or cannot partici-
pate. A policy like this is simply a case
of robbing one carrier TO benefit another.
and offers the widest possible chance
for speculation in reducing the value OF
the securities OF one carrier and enhanc-
ing the value of another, with no possible
advantage accruing to the public.
Under section 20 power is given 10
