About the first question asked every
architect by a prospective client is the
comparative cost between an outside frame
wall and a masonry wall. The writer has

MONROE O0CTRINE'SGR0WTH
From Ideal of Few to National
Principle, Says French Editor.

Paris. April 2s-Under the auspices OF the
Franco American Committee, Andre Tar
dieu, foreign editor Of the Temps" gave
an Interesting lecture tonight on the Mon
roe Doctrine and Pan-Americanism az tie
School of Political Sciences His auditors
were diplomats. men prominent in politics
and persons distinguished In other walks
OF life.
VI. Tardieu opened his lecture by citing
messages Of President Roosevelt TO show
that the Monroe Doctrine had not entered
into the domain of international law He
reviewed the history Of the doctrine, show
ing how from the ideal of a few # had
become a national principle.
Next the speaker examined the question
of Pan-Americansm, and said that the
Monroe Doctrine, as the basis Of Pan.
Americanism, had not fulfilled its expecta-
tons.
VI. Paul Deschanel, ex-President Of the
Chamber Of Deputies. presided at the lect-
ure. Like the Constitution of the United
States, which was a compromise between
the republicans and federasts NJ reschs-
mel said. the Monroe Doctrine had sprung
from the same ideals and from the same
necessities. Then. referring TO the Panama
Canal. he said that. while he did not know
attempt an empire Of the seas. she GER
tainly had been driven TO attempt an en-
pire In the Pacific.

TALKS OF ANNEXATION
Prince, Illinois Republican, At.
tacks Reciprocity.
From The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington. April 2s.-The bugaboo OF
Canadian annexation was again paraded I'm
the House to-day when Representative
Prince. an Illinois Republican. seeking both
TO embarrass those in favor of reciprocity
and to defeat the pending Farmers Free
List bill. echoed Champ Clark's talk OF
annexation.
Mr.. Prince expressed the fervent hope
that the President would veto the free list
bill II it ever reached him. and that both
reciprocity and the free list bill would fail
in the other body"
The debate on the free list bill proceeded
to-day in leisurely fashion and was un-
eventful. except for the speech OF Mr..
Prince and an attack on the Postoflice De-
partment by Representative Culop, an 1ndi-
ana Democrat. Mr.. Cullop charged the
Postmaster General with having built up a
political machine" adding that many en-
ployes of the department are guilty of per-
nicious political activity. These charges
have been so often and so recklessly pre-
ferred against the Postmaster General
however, that the House did not take the
denunciation seriously
Representative Prince could not forego a
final thrust at Canadian reciprocity. so in
stead of arguing against the tariff bill
alone. he included reciprocity in his ar
raignment. declaring 1t the worst piece of
legislation ever proposed. with the excep-
ton of the fake free list bill"
Referring to the Presidents speech on
reciprocity last night, Mr.. Prince said: The
President in his speech states that in the
other countries they are talking about an
nexaton What is the history Of the Amer
lean people? We might as well be frank
and honest. Americans went TO Texas and
Americanized IL. and ii was annexed as a
part of this great Union. Americans went
TO Hawaii Americanized it and annexed #.
And If these bright young men that the
President speaks of in his speech, these
clever, active. virile vigorous young men
from the farms Of Illinois and the other
Northern States. the thousands and hun
dreds of thousands of them. so up into
that Northand, what do you think would
be the effect of 1t?
Il say to our neighbors on the north, be
not deceived. When we go into a country
and get control of il. we take it. 1t Is
our history, and IL is right that we should
take Ii il we want il. and you might as
well understand it. The Speaker has so
said: the party back OF him has so said,
and II does not deny that that is its de-
sire"
Representative Kent. of California. a new
Republican member. who succeeded Dun
can e. McKinlay in the House. delivered a
semi humorous speech arraigning "a rev.
enue tariff upon necessities"
Mr. Kent said that Mr.. Rockefeller
probably pays less government revenue on
the food he consumes than does the aver
age hod carrier. He would doubtless like
TO pay as much. but he can't without eat
ing as much"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1911-04-29

Lament. referring to the reciprocity agree
ment. said that If II failed Of ratification in
Parliament such q step would mean only
that the Opposition had compelled an APP
peal to the Canadian people whose voice
world have TO be heard. He added:
1t is altogether probable that IL the gov
eminent can force the measure to vote
II Will BE- carried. On the other hand, the
Opposition can, il II sees ht probably pre-
vent a vote. There are three hundred
items. which will give opportunity for un-
limited discussion. We have already grant

TO pass further estimates the public treas
ury would be empted on June |. Public
officials would have 10 borrow. instead Of
receiving their salaries. and public works
would he at standstill. This Of course.
in any event, would be only a dernier res
sort, not to he adopted unless considered
absolutely necessary: but at the same
time every one will admit that II the OPP
position felt that any measure was of such
tremendous importance as seriously TO az
feet perhaps directly, the future history of
our country 1T would then be justified in
refusing 10 grant any supplies or pass the
measure until there had been an appeal TO
the people.

COMMITTEE FIGHT ENDS
States Adopted After Mild Pro

From The Tribune Bureau. J

FROM Inc tribune Bureau.
Washington. April 2s-Deserted by the
saner of his insurgent colleagues, Senator
La Toilette was obliged 10 sing swan
song instead Of war song In the Senate
to-day, and thus the fight o: the insurgents
against the majority committee designations

Senator so obviously designed for campaign
purposes that II received slight attention

in which he pointed out that the progress
sives had received ia places, although tJAy
were entitled 10 only 100, the committees -
framed by the caucuses were approved, the
resolution becoming effective on May
without further objection.
The mildness OF the protest made by Sem
ator La Toilette was largely due 10 the
fact that the patience of many Of the in
surgents had become exhausted by his OBJ
structive tactics and that they insisted on
expursating il before they would consent
10 allow their names to be used in connec-
ton with il. For the same reason the pur-

Senator Gallinger said that the Commit

the committees as finally approved TO stand
as the justihcatio OF its work The only
Senate committee on which the insurgents
have not received the proportion OF repre-
sentation demanded is Finance, on which
a place could not be provided without over

AQUEDUCT TUBE STILL LEAKS
Water Said to Have Gained Ten
Inches, Despite Pumping.
.[By Telegraph to The Tribune. !

Matteawan. y. Y. April cs.-Notwith-
standing the statements OF the New YORK
Water Department engineers. II Is saii
that the break I'm the great tunnel under
the Hudson River IL a dangerous one. IL
will cost large sum to make this section
of the auueduct impervious to the waters
OF the river II II Is shown that the rock
shell is badly cracked. a steel tube would
cost many thousands OF dollars. II was TO
avoid this expense that solid rock for
nation was sought. Night before last the
seven feet OF water went down to five feet
in the 9 by 10 foot tunnel. Yesterday, how
ever, the level OF the water rose ten
inches
The workmen on the tunnel have been
asking for an advance In wages for long
time. They received g 80 a day. Yester-
day morning when the shift went on
notices were posted announcing an increase
to "a a day. The contractors feel that the
men, on account OF the increased danger
owing to the inflow OF water, are entitled
TO more money.
Men are at work night and day on the
leaking tunnel, but no Roadway can be
gained. II is said, by the most desperate
efforts Of the engineers. At intervals more
pumps are sent down into the hole and
others are held in reserve. If by these
drastic methods something is not accom-
plished within another week, it is said that
the people Of New York must strike deeper
in the present shaft or abandon it for a
new one. In either case ii will involve a
large sum of money.
The engineers at the shaft are extremely
cautious about giving information. Strict
orders have been issued by Division Super
intendent Swift TO stop all conversations
leading to any inference about the tunnel
explosion.
