A Diplomatic Setback
F rom Success Magazine.

From Success Magazine.
 Dollar diplomacy would not seem to be making so much of hit lately. The United States some time since injected it. self into the questions of railroad con struction in China, demanding that Amer ican financiers be given a slice of the in vestment- then the whole project was tied up. In another. Japan and Russia united in vigorous snug to America.
 Russia, in the latest instance threatened to invade the Chinese province of Hi be- cause China was charged with violations of an old treaty that it was about to de- nounce. China yielded, and Russia gets about what she wanted. China and Japan appeared once more in close harmony. Plainly these powers are working with England to dominate China, and the United States seems to have abandoned the John Hay doctrine of the open door md territorial integrity. s
 As price, eemi1gly, for our exclusion rom China, the United States is. given the privilege of nominating the financial controllers of Persia, who are to admin lster it's revenues and reorganize it's loans t seems poor oH.pensation for the loss if our commercial opportunity in China.

WEEKLY THEATRICAL LETTER

these vampires encourage the writing of plays that may not be as offensive as those imported from France or Germany. but nevertheless by sugges- ton, inuendo and double meaning drib- b1e cater to the sensua1ities of the hu- man animals.
 The follies of the human race are multitudinous, but why Haunt them be- fore the eyes of the world, which only needs suggestion to accept and prac- tice the thought? Why should mana gers with no moral discernment be a1- lowed to fill our theaters with sensual sensationalism and people our stage with bedizened bands of faded sirens to lure the susceptible? Not for arts sake; not for the uplifting of the stage are such exhibitions tolerated. Then why countenance them at all? There Is no humor in salaciousness. A laugh can't be extracted from the exhibition of a bare leg, yet in a dozen playh ouses in Gotham today acts are being adver- tised and plays presented and the piece de resistance, the 'big drag" is cen tered in the conspicuous Haunting of half-naked women.
 The world recognizes the power of money, and all men value it's possessions, but what must be the sensation of the ing to the vulgar sensibilities of the human race when the finger of public contempt is pointed at them?
 God help the future of the theater if it were not for a few men whose mental mechanism withstands the temptation of acquiring wealth by spreading de- pravity. We have had, and still have, a few of them. England had it's Irving, and Sir Henry rounded out life full of

HAIL WINS FIGHT FOR
CITY HOSPITAL BUTCHER,
Defeats Samuel Portuges by
Vote of 5 to 4.

Following a lively discussion the
Board of Health at a meeting last night
appointed John Hail as butcher at the
City Hospitai. The position was
awarded by a vote of . to 4, and the
commissioners opposed to Hail de-
elared the position should have gone
TO Samuel Portuges, who had a per-
centage of Sc in the civil service ex-
animation, while Halls percentage
was but 70.
Commissioners Baker and Schalk
objected to Hail when he was recon-
mended by the hospital committee. 1t
was pointed out that Portuges not only
had a better percentage in the exami-
nation, but had ample experience in
the distribution of food during his con-
n~ection with the United States army
commissary department.
Claiming that they a a perfect
right to vote for the lowest man on
the list, Commissioners Foyle and
Wrightson cast their votes for Hail
and explained they had promised the
butchers brother-in-law that they
would vote for him. DIR. Herold had
voted for the highest man at the com
mittee meeting, but chose Hail with
his deciding vote. :

URGES COUNTY TO BUY
TRACT ADJOINING PARK

William P. O'Rourke, building inspec-
tor, appeared before the Essex county
park commissioners at a meeting yes
terday and suggested that they acquire
the property at Thirteenth and Four
teenth streets, adjoining West Side
Park. He explained that the land is
so swampy it is unfit for building pur-
poses, but could be filled in to meet
parkeA requirements. Mr.. O'Rourke was
told to put his plan In writing and
present it to the commission. The park
commissioners wanted to know what
price the city would be asked for the
property, which includes 100 city lots,
but Mr.. O'Rourke could not inform
them.
City Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd re-
quested a permit to lay a water pipe
through Branch Brook Park. The COM
m~issioners assented on the condition
that the city Dear any expense which
may occure should the pipe burst.

Hudson and Manhattan
Railroad Company

The burden of taxation alone (notwithstand-
ing the particularly fair attitude OF the new
Jersey authorities) is enormous. For the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1911, taxes aggregated
s414,5ss.54. For the present fiscal year, on the
basis of assessments already made, they VIII
be increased TO approximately $478,28i.b. II
the company was exempt from taxation like
the New York Subway it could continue to
carry passengers for a uniform scent fare
Under the circumstances a read1ustment OF
rates has therefore become necessary.
The tunnel lines between Jersey City, Ho-
boken and Sixth Avenue involve an average
longer haul, and cost decidedly more TO con-
struct, than the tunnel lines to downtown New
York. 1t seems, therefore, reasonable and
logical that in a resdjustment of rates the fare
to uptown New York should be more than the
fare to downtown New York.
For these reasons it has been decided to
increase beginning December "a, f9ff) the
rate between Jersey City, Hoboken and Sixth
Avenue, or uptown New York, to Z cents. ihis
is 1 cent less than the existing rate "a cents)
by ferry and trolley between the water front
in New Jersey and uptown New York.
The rate from Summit Avenue Station
when opened to uptown New York will be
cents and to downtown New York 5 cents, This
is 6 cents less than the existing rate by ferry
and trolleys from Summit Avenue to uptown
New York, and 3 cents less TO downtown New
York.
The present rate of 5 cents between local
stations in New Jersey and between local sta
lions in New York will be maintained.
With this increase in the uptown rate to 7
cents, and with the new service put into opera
ton between Newark and New York, and with
a reasonable growth in traffic over the system,
the Company will earn its fixed charges, with
a reasonable surplus for equipment, renewals
and contingencies.
1t is needless to comment on the fact that
the earning of fixed charges is absolutely
essential TO the Cornpany's integrity. The Com
pany is certainly entitled to and must have a
living rate of fare.
1t should be remembered that the New York
City Subway, a far less costly and difficult under
taking, was financed with the credit of the City
of New York, at low rates of interest, and is
exempt from taxation. The Hudson Tunnels,
on the other hand, have been financed by pri-
vate capital, at higher rates of interest, and with
no exemption from taxation. This great sys-
tenn, with all of its hazards and risks, has
received no financial aid from the State or
Municipal governments on either side of the
Hudson River. re !
We submit the facts with the hope that the
business of the Company's position will be
recognized, and with the belief that the public
is willing TO support an enterprise that has
been consistently managed from the beginning
in the public interest
The Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Co. Is
now, and has always been, independent. No
railroad company in New Jersey or elsewhere
has ever had any financial interest in this COM
pany or any voice in its management.
