SCORE ALDERMEN WHO BLOCK

The audacity of the clique OF Al

pavilion, had been rigidly economical
In estimating the sum needed at SIS. 40.
Supt. Woody personally appealed to
members Of the board to pass the reso-
luton which had been submitted by the
Finance Committee. The committee,
however. had not been public spirited
enough to recommend the immediate ap-
proprlation. Agents acting for bath
house owners on Coney Island and
other allied interests urged against such
recommendation and lobbied against the
resolution.
Their appeals for some reason had
more weight with certain members OF
the board than the demand OF all the
people OF New York City that the
Coney Island free bath be opened a,
| once.
The feeling against one member OF
the board who voted against the orig
insi appropriation to build the bath
house was shown in the last primary
fight In the Fifth Assembly District. OF

"The Girl of the Golden West"

Henry w. Savage has prepared and Is
offering this season a production In Eng
lish of Puccini's grand opera, THE Girl
Of the Golden West which will be seen
at the Belasco Theater for one matinee
and two evening performances, Friday
and Saturday. November "a and Is.
An extraordinary feature of this pro-
duction is said to be its hugeness. The
magnitude of the production Of THE GIL
of the Golden West can be best realized
when it is known that 1t requires special
train of ten cars to transport the organi-
zation on it's transcont.nental tour.
There are five casts of principals to
sing the leading roles. No human voice,
it is said, could hold up under the strain

ductors. The scenic and electrical effects
are declared more complete than those OF

REPAY CANAL TOLLS
Stimson'S Plan to Aid Ameri.
can Merchant Marine.
SAYS TREATY ALLOWS IT
Holds Congress Should Reimburse
Our Vessels Going Through
Panama Waterway.

KANSAS CITY. Mo, November 10.
Secretary of War Stimson proposed a way
of upbuilding the American merchant ma
rine last night i'll his speech before the
Commercial Club in this city. He sug
gested that Congress pay the tolls for
American vessels using the Panama
canal.
Russia. Austria-H Hungary. Germany,
France, Japan. Italy and Spain. he says
have adopted this policy and reimburse
the vessels of their merchant marine
using the Suez canal. When the Panama
canal is open, he added, these govern
ments will probably continue that policy
and repay the tolls imposed upon their
respective vessels which use the Panama
canal.
Unless the United States. he said, fol-
lows the same policy, American vessels
will be at a disadvantage in the struggle
for trade which will take place upon the
opening of the canal.
Right to Pay the Tolls.
Touching the right Of the United States
to nay tolls on American vessels, using
the canal, Secretary Stimson had not the
shadow of doubt. He said the United
States had both legal and moral right to
subsidize it's shipping passing through
the canal. Under the treaty with Great
Britain the rules Of the Suez canal were
to govern and in that case 1t had never
been considered a violation of the rule
of naturalization for a nation to pay
the tolls upon the vessels flying its flag.
Substantially every European govern
ment using the Suez canal pays such SUBJ
sides, fully or partially equivalent to the
~ <hn rot
it was perfectly clear that the United
States had the right to appropriate TO
the vessels paying the same, the sum
paid into its treasury by those vessels
in the form Of canal tolls.
No Provision for Operation.
He directed attention to the fact that
although there Will be water enough IN

season which begins next May anu
