successful combination Of the aesthetic
and the practical in city building yet
planned i'm America.
To grasp fully The scope and meaning
of what is being accomplished, you must
first recall what formerly existed In the
terminal area north of the old station
building. Here. on the street level was /
maze of tracks, over which smoking en-
gines and noisy trains shuttled day and
night Crossing this area, on the lines ot
irtersecting streets, were elevated bridges.
The whole spectacle was an eyesore. as the
familiar back yard" Of a huge terminus
naturally is.
The Introduction OF electricity did away
with the smoke, but the ugly yards re-
NAMED Park avenue ended at i2d street,
and did not reappear as thoroughia'o
until JOth street.
The original yard plans merely Included
the depressing OF the tracks, leaving the
whole area above them useless. Then the
architects had an inspiration. "Why not
construct the lower levels they said, 80
that all the space above the tracks can
be used for buildings and streets? In
short, let us use the up-air rights. Up
air rights simply means the right 10 build
over ground that you own. Most peo-
ple do not stop TO consider that ordinarily
there are three rights I'm the ownership of
property, the ground right giving posses
sion Of the surface; the lower right Civ
ing power to excavate or mine, and the
upper. or air, right. Into an epoch when

Attorney for Contract Holders Denies
at Washington the Charge OF
Bribery In the Oklahoma
Case,

Washington. Addressing the
house committee which has been
investigating his charges of attempted
bribery in connection with legislation
validating certain Indian land con
tracts, Senator Gore of Oklahoma
dwelt on the futility of exposures oil
rected at those who seek to use con
gress for personal gain. He declared
that while intended robberies were
prevented thereby, the one who MAKES
the attack becomes the target lot aii
kinds OF malice.
My experience has demonstrated
how much easier 1t is to remain silent
and secure than to wage war against
wrongdoers of a certain character.
Mr.. Gore was speaking Of the fu'
tility of disclosures Of alleged at
tempts TO influence legislation, which
he made In the closing days OF the
last session of congress, and the fact
that the persons under investigation
had attempted to impugn his motives.

Washington. - That the senate
at this session must lace the
question as to whether the constitu-
ton shall be amended so as TO re-
quire the election Of senators by d.
rect vote of the people was MADE ap-
parent. A vote which many senators
considered a test of the sentiment OF
the upper house was taken and re-
suited largely in favor Of the propo-
sition.
The matter arose in connection
with the Joint resolution for the
amendment of the constitution recent
ly reported from the committee on
the judiciary. Mr.. Sutherland want
ed to amend the resolution so as TO
strike out the provision giving the
state legislature supervision of cleo
tons and making other changes.
Senator Hale of Maine was sure
that the resolution could not be acted
upon without protracted debate and
moved to adjourn.
A roll call was demanded, with the
!cbult lndt 43 out OF bO senators pI es'
ent voted against adjourning. OF the
AZ negative votes, % were cast by
Republicans.
Encouraged by this, Senator Borah
moved from his seat on the extreme
left of the chair TO the center of the
chamber, apparently prepared to press
consideration vigorously. He did not
desire to prevent debate, he said, and
he added that he would not do so If
he could obtain the consent of the
senate to name a day for vote on
the resolution and all amendments.
He suggested Tuesday. January "a.

ing ears. This was no exception.

agreed upon for a vote on this reso-
luton very little other business will

mayor of London, when he declared
that should Great Britain ever be seri-

His offense has been so conspicu-

the department in reproying it should
be equally So"
The president says that whenever
an officer of the American navy rs
called upon in a foreign country TO
speak in public, so that what he says

tention of other foreign countries, 1t Is
his obvious duty 10 avoid invidious

has come with the enforced retire
ment of Rear Admiral Edward b.
Barry. Commander-in-chief of the Pa
cific feet. and the knowledge that
his abrupt decision to yield his com

demand was made upon Admlrai
Barry last Tuesday night after an ex-
posyre of his conduct aboard his nag
sfiTF the West Virginia.
The sudden action was the result OF

the presidents authority to retire the
admiral.

prevent the publication of story
which. he believed, would do great
harm to the navy.
Admiral Thomas will take over the
command of the Pacific fleet.
The withdrawal Of Admiral Barry
comes after a service OF forty,tWo
years. The admiral was in his room
on the West Virginia on Tuesday
night when his subordinates, Cap
tain Orchard. Lieutenant Commander
Iiegemeicr and Commander Blue,
who had been summoned by the Of
hcer of the deck Ensign Tafider,
walked in upon him.
That evening a meeting was held
Of the officers on board of the West
Virginia at which il was proposed
that loaded revolver be sent to the
admirals room, carrying its sinister
suggestion of one way out OF the dis
grace for the aged commander.
The suggestion was put to vote
and the decision of the majority was
that the admiral be given an opportu-
nifty to resign from the service. The
officers who were present at this
meeting took an oath to observe Sc
crecy on condition that Admiral Barry
at once forward his resignation TO
Washington.
After that the staff and line officers
on the West Virginia left the ship,
with the exception of Captain Orchard
and such OF the officers as were re-
CURED for actual duty on board. The

pleaded his years. He pleaded the

A formal official report was drafted,
in which the disgrace of the admiral
was written. This report was adj
