Rotherhithe's Tunnel Completed.
The Rotherhite tunnel. which was
opened by the Prince and Princess OF
Wales yesterday, Is the largest Of the
roadways hitherto constructed beneath
the Thames. 1t is the thirteenth OF
such completed tunnels. although few
Londoners would have believed there
were so many. The first of this bakers
dozen was begun eightythree years ago.
and. ing to the river breaking in. took
about seventeen years to complete. 1t is
now used by the East London railway,
the line connecting New Cross with the
old underground line. The small iron
subway near the Tower was built in
1869. and SO recently as 1887 the twin
tubes which are used by the City and
South London railway were completed
The making of Blackwell tunnel and the
Greenwich subway has been carried out
since by the London county council. and
three pairs of tunnels have been bored
by the different electric railways.
The Rotherhite tunnel will supply a
want which has long been recognized.
In 1877 the metropolitan board of works
was pressed to make such a means OF
south of the river. and in 1882 Sir Jo-
seph Bazalgette presented a report which
showed that the cost would be over two
millions sterling. The actual cost of the
present undertaking has been more than

Miss Hargrave came to the city to get
an injunction restraining the people of

Cherry History.

From the COrnn1ll Magazine
1t is still asserted in school books that
cherries were introduced to this country
by the "fruiterer' or greengrocer of
Henry VIII; also that they were not COM
mon for hundred years after that time.
This is an error. Mr.. Thomas Wright
found the name in every one Of the Anglo
Saxon vocabulaTies which he edited. So
common were they. and so highly es-
teemed. that the time for gathering them
became a recognized festival-'cherry
fair or feast" And this grew into a
proverbial expression for feeting joys
Cover says the 1riars taught that life
is but a cherye- fayre.' and Hope EN-
dureth but throwe. right as it were a
cherye-feste." There is more than one
record Of the purchase of trees for the
kings garden at Westminster, centuries
before Henry VIII was born. But Pliny
contradicted the fable, as II in prophetic
mood. After telling that Lucullus first
brought cherries to Rome (from Pontus

OF a hundred and twenty years they have

JOHN BURNS SAYS ENGLISH
SPORTS NEED REFORMING
,ecial Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence OF The Star
LONDON, June 10, 1905
TOHN BURNS, who has a knack not
shared by most other members of the
British cabinet of really saying some
thing every time he speaks in public.
made an address at Ealing this week that
contained several observations worthy of
notice, and about as pointed for the
United States as for England He was
talking about the tendency in sport toward
the gathering Of great crowds to see other
people play.
THE effect is" he said. that the ten
dency was in all modern movements for
great crowds to be brought together to
see other people play: to witness gladia-
torial spectacles. The effect Of this upon
our people Is that we now cry In COM
panies smile in battalions. sport in di-
visions, holiday in armies. and marry
in mobs. The spirit of the horde is being
developed, and whether 1t be in exhibit
tions meetings. sports, games or legisla-
less. and the mass, the mob. is becoming
more and more. This is dangerous
tendency. and one that we must do our
best to resist. divert and check. and l
hope some day to finally demolish. The
best antidote for that mania is a good
home. and the best counter-at-raction to
it a good garden.
Demands Rational Recreation.
1.-The final diversion Of over athleticised
games Is the good old-fashioned English
games. such as tennis. bowls. cricket and
quoits. The great city. the large factory,
the newspapers with the largest circula-
ton and the worst news-all these megalo-
maniac tendencies are affecting the Eng
lish people. These tendencies should be
chastened by national recreation. We
want to take the people back to the in
dividual happiness and the joyous pleas
ures Of the old English games. when 1t
was less to win a prize, when there was
no betting or gambling, but more to play
the game for the games sake.
II do not like to see 10000 men, with
out a woman among them, watching twen-
ty-two players developing the wrong end
Of their anatomy. Such was the scene at
the Crystal Palace. and the occasion was
q great foot ball match. And these were
able-bodied men, who should have been
in the fighting line at that moment when
Briton and Boer were locked In deadly
conflict. We must stop that, because
those great games attract men alone. and

FORAKER THREATENS
TO MAKE OR BREAK
Republican Party Leaders Fail
To Secure Harmony

Senator Foraker of Ohio, has
been talking vigorously of late. In a
speech before al assembly of negro
Methodist bishops, he used la,gu-
age implaving that he stood ready
to bolt the republican party in case
Taft or Roosevelt were nominated
for the presidency. Speaking of
Taft delegates from the south, hc
said. "Ihcy do not belong to my
party, and | will not belong to
theirs. " He also spoke of the pos
sibility of new parties. -
ON the IT inst Senator Foraker
made a speech i'll the Senate on the
Brownvillc affair, in the course
Of which he severely criticised
President Roosevelt and defended
the negro soldiers, whom the pres
idcnt drummcd out of the army in
disgrace without a trial. 1t was 4
great speech, and its effect on the
negro vote in the states, the north
and middle west may be to defeat
the republican national ticket
These recent uttcranCcs of For
aker show that the breach between
himself and the Roosevelt faction
is liable to be permanent, and that
he may be expected to lead a move
nicnt at the polls against any man
whom the Roosevelt faction may
force upon the republican party.
In such a case, Foraker would
have among his follows, not only
most OF the negroes, but many of
tie old Union soldiers and a large
class Of rcactionarics. Ii other
words, he would have with him the
brains and backbone of The old re-
publican party, and the fight be
tween The old and the new rcpub-
leans would be beautiful and in
tcrcstin9.

YESTERDAY TO QUIT
THE TAX COMMISSION
Differs With Other Members Of
The Tax Commission

OLYMPIA, May ~. ii. EaStcr-

that he would retire from the state
tax commission, presenting his re-
sipnation on the return of Cover
nor Mead from the cast. He, how
ever declined to discuss whether
or not he would be a candidate Tor

he has not agreed with the other
members of the commission, 1. ID.
Rockwell and J. j.. Frost on the
matter of taxation OF cXcmptlng OF
moneys and credits. Mr.. Faster

be published in connection with
reported decisions of said court. y
The wording of this provision"
says the attorney general of this
state, meets the possible objection
that during the sessions of the Leg
lslature the supreme court might
be burdened with questions regard
ing freak Legislation and matters of
little Importance to the general
public.
The supreme court of Colorado
i'll following out the provisions of
the constitution of the state, has
adopted rules which check the pre-
sentation of trivial bills to it for its
consideration except those that are
strictly important questions.
The court has refused to pass
upon the constitutionality of acts
relating solely to private rights of
individuals and corporations. One
instance of this kind was when the
Legislature asked the court to ex-
press its views upon bill provid-
ing that corporations must pay
their employees semi monthly. An
other bill the court declined to pass
upon prohibited corporations from
paying any part of the wages OF
their employees in merchandise. In
few instances the court has de-
parted from this rule but when it
was in cases of supreme emergency
or for reasons conducive to the
public welfare.
With such a provision i'll the
constitution of this state it would
be possible for the Senate or House
of Representatives, by resolution
to refer bills OF parts OF bills OF OK
IRENE public importance, such as
the rate making pro ons of the
railroad commission law; the doubt
full portions of the primary law or
tax exemption laws, to the supreme
court for opinions as to their con-
stitutionality. If such laws are
benihcal it is certainly good policy
to have their enforcement free from
doubt or the consequences that
would ensuc if they should be
found unconstitutional after being
enforced for a long period at great
expense. -

FIX VALIDITY BEFORE
:. PASSING A MEASURE
Proposed Regulation Similar to
Colorado Law

OLYMPIA, May 7.-Reocnt en-
tanglements in attempts to enforce
important legislation caused by the
raising of constitution questions af-
fecting the validity of such laws
will result in an attempt being
made before the next Legislature
toward adopting plan that has
been successfully tried in Colorado
and other states.
This plan is to improve a means
by which a governor senate or leg
islature may require the supreme
courtato pass upon the constitu-
tionality Of an act of general public
importance before its passage.
The advantage that such a pro-
vision would have furnished in this
state, has been illustrated in sew
eral instances in the last two years.
One deals with the putting in
force Of the rate making provisions
of the railroad commission law
The federal court has held that
this provision of the commission
is antagonistic to the state consti-
tuition and the railroad commission
has been impelled to attempt no
further rate markings until the rate
making supreme court passes on
the question
Another instance deals with the
direct primary law. Some of the
best legal minds in the state be-
lieve that some of the provisions of
the law are unconstitutional. The
matter is now before the supreme
court and if the law should be held
unconstitutional the result, as an
nounced in advance by Governor
A. E. Mead will be the summon
ing Of special session of the Leg
lslature to enact a law free from
the defects that may be pointed
out by the supreme court. The
assurance has also been given by
the governor that if the railroad
commission law is held to be un-
constitutional he will summon the
Legislature in extraordinary session
10 submit a constitutional amend
ment at the next general election
which will permit the Legislature
70 invest the railway commission
with rate-making powers.
A third instance lies in the ser
lous complications respecting state
revenues that have grown out of
Tue Gunn exemption law passed by
Inc last Legislature. Two supe-
1ior courts have held this law I'm
constitutional and the attorney
general has advised the tax com
mission to ignore the law until it
mas been passed upon by the su-
preme court.
After his experience with these
ana other matters Attorney A. d.
atkinson began looking into the
provisions of the Colorado consti
'auon respecting the powers of
'ae supreme court and has reached
'ue conclusion that the provision is
wise one. He will advocate the
SUMPTION Of a similar one in this
