Intemperance and Tin Cans
THE increase in the per capita consumption Of
beer and cigars in the United States since 1905
has been very great The average amount
used is four times great as forty years ago. This
increase has been phenomenal as to brighten our
temperance folk. 1t does not represent, however,
added slavery of the masses to strong drink and
nicotine. 1t rather measures in way wider
and more distribution among all the people
of the aggregate products of human labor This in
crease in the beer consumption should be studied
in connection with the greater relative increase
in the production and use of first class bread crack
ers cake and other articles of food and drink. OF
such increase, the most remarkable is that in the
production and consumption of what is popularity
known as canned goods.
In the later '6o's, when the Morrill, tariff act was
passed, these goods formed insignificant portion
of domestic and foreign trade, and little tin plate
was utilized in the canning business that attempt
was made by Congress foster its manufacture \

NEW YORK, March 7.-George w.
Perkins, former first vice president of
the New York Life Insurance company
and now a member of the firm of j.
P. Morgan & Co., has sent to the New
York Life his personal check for $54,-
019 to reimburse the company for the
Republican campaign contribution
made from its funds in 1906 in connec-
tion with which Mr.. Perkins recently
was made defendant on charge of lar
ceny.
Announcement OF the restitution of
the principal of $4S,50O and interest to
date was made today by President Alex
70. Orr of the New York Life Insurance
company to whom Mr.. Perkins yester-
day addressed letter inclosing the
check. President Orr also gave out the
letter.
In it Mr.. Perkins declares that in
dismissing the criminal proceedings
against him the court intimated that
the campaign contribution was not Of
proper corporate purpose. He again
declares he was acting upon a request
of the then president of the New York
Life when he advanced the money for
the campaign contribution in 1904, and
says when the president reimbursed
him there was no thought on the part
of either of any personal advantage,
but a belief that they were acting for
the best and broadest interests of the
policy holders, both at home and
abroad.

NEW YORK, March 7.-Heinrich
Conried. manager of the Metropolitan
opera house, announced today that he
would not continue the management
of the opera house after the expira-
ton of his present lease. Millions of
dollars would not tempt him to stay in
his present position, he said.
Conried, who has been severely i'll
but is recovering, has plans by which
he believes the greatest grand opera
in the world will be given here His
resolution to retire from the Metro
politan is not due to any difference
with the owners. The expenses of the
opera here are increasing enormously,
he remarks. The artists are demanding
more pay and 1t Is hard for the man
agement to make money.
1t is understood, though not officially
admitted by anyone concerned, that
Henry Russell, director of the San
Carlo company, now here, is a possible
successor of Herr Conried at the Metro
success as an impresario, his good
financial record, as well as his artistic
taste, are generally recognized, and his
ability to form a fine singing organi-
zation of most excellent ensemble, with
his boldness in taking it on a trans
continental tour, have fixed the eyes
of the musical world on him. He is a
trained musician and picks his singers
by personal test-something Conried,
who is not a musician, could never do.
While Mr.. Russell's modesty prevents
his expressing an opinion on the proba-
bility of his being called to step into
Conried's Shoes those who know say
il is more than likely that he will have
the offer.

BERLIN, March 7.-When the prop
osition to increase the salary of Baron
Speck Won Sternburg, the German am
bassador at Washington, by $4,000 came
up before the appropriations committee
of the reichstag today, during the dis
cussion of the foreign office budget,
Baron Won Koerner, director in the

an agreement on the opinion had been
reached with the representatives of the
United States upon the basis for n
future commercial treaty, from which
it was hoped that satisfactory out
come of the situation would be reached.
The American tariff commissioners,
Director Won Koerner added, had not
full power to conclude a treaty, but
the results Of the negotiations were
favorable to German interests.
Many Misunderstanding had been
adjusted, the American commissioners
had been convinced of many incon-
Veniences and unfair things in the
reported to President Roosevelt and
the results of their report will be made
public soon.
Turning to the salary of the am
bassador to the United States Director
Won Koerner said that the cost of liv-
ing in Washington had increased since
the salary of the German representa-
tive was fixed at $4,000 when the Ger
man legation in 1908 was raised to the
rank of an embassy.
The committee eventually decided to
increase the ambassadors salary by
$4,000 and also voted to increase the
salary of the first secretary by 1925,
raising it to $4750, the same as in the
case of the similar posts at Paris, St.

CHICAGO, March THAT the roof

When the dynamiters who are work.

roof of the tunnel it was discovered
that the brick arch which 'held up
the river" is barely two feet in thick
ness.
In the absence of the original speci-

authorities supposed that the roof
varied in thickness from four to six
feet and secure in this assumption
have allowed street cars loaded with
humanity to pass through without a
