years ago, will be completed. but 1t may
be styled monument to graft.
Beautiful in its outlines and con-
tanning the best materials obtainable
Mexicans have long told strangers
with justifable pride that 1t was tc
be the most magnificent playhouse or
the American continent. adding that It's
cost when completed would be 12.000.-
900 pesos. Now the government Is
waiting for the reports of It's experts
to know just what part Of this sum
has been wasted and what part car
be saved without altering the plans Of
the architect.
The investigators turned up informa
ton that has resulted in the arrest OF
the chief mason, who In charged with
having carried away enough building
material to enable him to erect few
private residences for himself. He de-
MES the charge.
Within the first week Of the year the
investigators claim to have found
proof of frauds amounting to 100000
pesos. They allege that supposed
solid cement parts specified in the con-
tracts have been made with gravel
cores and the contractors paid $3.50
Mexican currency, q meter, when the
material supplied cost about 34.7b. A
division with those higher up is hint
ed at. Carrara marble, which figures
largely in the construction OF the
building, apepars to have been sold and
resold to the government.
But there IL another problem con-
nected with the theater that IL worry

opinions Of skilled and experienced
engineefs, 1t appears some one made q

Richard T. Mention, of No 213
North Franklin street, has placed in
the hands of Councilman John j.
Haney. Of the Tenth ward, a PROPOSE
tion that the city and the Federal
Governmest build great basin for
shipping on the Delaware river water
front opposite Wilmington. Accom-
panying the proposition is a general
plan for a basin which conforms to
the ideas of General T. Coleman du-
Pont. II is the view of General du-
Pont, that owing to the width Of the
Delaware river opposite Wilmington
it would not be feasible to dock ves-
sells there in open docks in time of
storm, and that a large basin, with
piers inside it is the only logical So
luton Of the riverfront problem. II
is thought the Mention proposition
and the accompanying map Of the
dupont plan will be submitted TO
Council tonight by Councilman Han
ey and referred to the Riverfront
Committee.
THE EVENING JOURNAL has re-
ceived from Mr. Mention the following
letter:
"Sir: Enclosed herewith Is a
sketch of General T Coleman du-
Points suggested harbor on the Della
ware river. with explanatory letter
relative TO the advantage of such a
harbor for the commercial and in
dustrial development of Wilmington.
The plan as outlined seems practical
and one that might help to simplify
the problem of the city's river front
project.

TUBERCULOSIS DEATH
AS DR.. PRICES THEME

DR. Albert Price will deliver the
first of a series of sermons In Smyrna
next Sunday on the treatment afford
ed negro prisoners az the county
workhouse DR. Price has for some
time sought enlightenment on the
continued deaths of negro prisoners
at the workhouse from tuberculosis.
Dr. Price this morning referred to
the recently published article which
attributed the surrender Of the negro
prisoners to the ravages of tubercu-
losis to their natural constitution.
The article further stated that the
white prisoners repulsed the disease
more successfully because OF their
greater robustness DR.. Price said
that medical authorities confuted this
article, by asserting that II the negro
prisoners had the benefit Of sanitary
arrangements. they would live as long
as the whites.

RiVERFRONT BASIN PLAN
is SENT TO CITY COUNCIL

city one of the greatest maritime
ports and shipping centres in the
world"s
Mr.. Mention calls attention to the
fact that the basin proposed would
bring the ships I'm close touch with the
Pennsylvania railroad tracks in the
Edgemoor yards and on Cherry Island
march He suggests that 10 such a
plan were adopted the railroad might
transfer TO Wilmington big terminal
improvements II now contemplates at
League Island, Philadelphia.
Mr.. Mention also sends to THE
EVENING JOURNAL a copy OF let
ter he received from General DUPONT
on July 10 last in which the General
wrote:
Dear Sir: I have read with inter-
est. your letter and believe If basin
could occupy a greater part OF tue
river front. it would be a wonderful
advantage to Wilmington.
II do not believe that ships .Jr io Ks
on the Delaware will ever De OF any
value. The width of the Delaware
river at this point, together with ts'
tide. particularly in storms, are such
that no boat could safely lay at a
wharf on the Delaware river. and the
ships such as I have seen shown in
many OF the newspapers. would, in
my judgment, be absolutely a waste OF
money and would be abandoned in less
than a year after they were built; but
could the land be used for a basin. as
shown on the enclosed sketch. the
advantage to Wilmington would be
greater than anything that has hap
pened for some time past"
