SAILORS STRIKES THREATEN
Coastwise Lines Not in Favor of
Renewing Agreement.

Strikes OF the crews Of coastwise steam
ships are expected on Monday to force the
renewal Of the agreement between the
cCastwse steamship companies and the
unions Of fremen, sailors and others. the
indications being that the companies will
refuse to renew the agreement on the
grounds that they object to have the au-
thority Of the captain of a ship divided with
the union.
1t is expected that the strikes will be or
dered on individual ships as last year.
There are twenty-five coastwise steamship
companies and the demand for the renewal
Of the agreement, with some notifications
involves 5000 members Of the crews. The
officials of the companies do not object 10
the wages demanded as much as 10 a union
run ship.
II. H. Raymond. vice-presdent and gen
eral manager Of the Clyde Steamship Com
pany, said yesterday that his company OBJ
jected TO the renewal of the agreement
because 1t compelled them TO accept incom-
petent labor.
I'VE had to take the first men the union
sent" he continued. I'VE have to carry too
many thousand Of dollars worth Of cargo
and be responsible for too many lives to
take such risk. Even the union officials
admit that they have not given us proper
service"
George c. Bodine, president Of the Trans
Port Workers Federation, said yesterday
that the refusal Of the coastwise companies
70 renew the agreement would be followed
on Monday by a guerilla warfare Of strikes
on vessels.

CAKES WITH FRESH FRUIT
Apples, Peaches, Strawberries,
Etc. Make Delicious Filings.

There is no more attractive filing for q
layer cake than fresh fruit-apples, peach
es. oranges. Strawberries. raspberries, ba-
nanas and pineappes.
An apple layer cake is not particularly
rich, but 1t has an attractive and delicate
favor. With light, soft sponge cake this
filling reminds one of a whipped cream
cake. Beat up the white of an egg and
add gradually to 1t small cupful Of sugar
and a grated apple. Crate the apple into
the snowy mixture while beating 1t. Great
care should be taken not to break down
the froth. It is we'll to add first little of
the sugar and then a little OF the apple
until they both are used. Spread between
two layers OF the cake and sprinkle pow
dered sugar over the top, II It is sponge
cake instead Of icing it. II the apple Is a
trihe lacking in flavor add a half tea
spoonful or more Of the best vanilla.
Raspberries and strawberries may be used
in the same way as the apple. Bananas
may also be substituted for the apple.
Sometimes thin slices OF bananas are
used with whipped cream as filing for
white sponge layer cakes. Peaches and
raspberrles, the pulp crushed fine. are even
more delicious with whipped cream than
the bananas Sometimes q sponge cake Is
split open, the layers spread between with
crushed laspberrles and on top with
whipped cream.
Several delicious forms of layer cake may
be made with an uncooked strawberry ALL
Ing As everyone knows a French straw
berry shortcake Is only a sponge cake with
a filing OF crushed strawberries and dec
grafton on top of whipped cream. A novel
dessert OF this kind is made by baking
delicate sponge cake In a ring mould and
after It is cold filing the centre with va
nilla ice cream and fresh strawberries, and
then decorating with whipped cream.
Try the following for a strawberry layer
cake in which the Juice OF this delicious
fruit is used not only IN the filling. but in
the batter itself. Cream a liberal third Of
a cupful OF butter with one cupful and
half OF graduated sugar, using with the
white sugar a few spoonfuls OF pink sugar.
Add half q cupful OF strained strawberry
juice. Sift two cupfus OF the best pastry
flour with one-quarter OF teaspoonful OF
soda, Stir the moist ingredients into It and
then fold through the whole the whites OF
five eggs The acid OF the berry juice Will
render cream OF tartar unnecessary. Bake
In layer cake tins, and spread a soft straw
berry icing favored slightly with lemon be-
tween the layers and over the top. The
icing may be made by mixing strawberry
and lemon Juice with powdered sugar.
4 coating OF meringue may be used on
cakes with fresh fruit filings instead Of
frosting. Covered all over with the me-

the Manhattan Bridge.
ARRANGEMENT TEMPORARY
Tired Waiting for Franchises
Chairman Maltbie Considers
Action Illegal.

1t was announced yesterday that prob
ably in the latter part of July, and surely
before August 1, cars would be running
across the Manhattan Bridge in both
directions \ large force Of men has
been busily engaged for some time laying
tracks on the bridge, building passenger
platforms and preparing for railroad opera
ton on both plazas of the structure
Although the Manhattan Bridge was pri-
narily erected for the purpose of affording
additional railroad facilities between the
wo sections in Brooklyn and Manhattan
which il serves and to relieve traffic con
geston on the Brooklyn Bridge there has
been long delay in granting franchises.
When Bridge Commissioner O'keehe sa"
that there was TO immediate prospect OF
these franchises being granted he began
10 investigate the possibilities of providing
at least a temporary service over the
bridge. He was told by the Corporation
Counsel that he had the necessary power 10
issue perrlits 10 such railroad companies
as he could induce to establish temporary
service.
officials Of the different street railroad
ronpanies were invited into a conference
nv Commissioner O'Keeffe, with the result
that the temporary service will be begun
as soon as possible. The companies which
will give this service are. The Third Ave
nue. Railway Company, the Dry Dock, East
Broadway & Battery Railroad Company,
ne Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company,
re Nassau Electric Company, the Coney
5land & Brooklyn Railroad Company and
le New York Railways Company, For this
local service between the plazas Of the
ridge Will be run for a three-cent fare, or
wo tickets for five cents.
The agreement provides for line of
ars over the bridge, which will operate
ON the junction of Fulton and Gold
reefs in the Borough Of Brooklyn,
trough Willoughby and Nassau streets, in
rooklyn. across the bridge, through Canal
rect, Bowery. Grand street, Sullivan
rect. Vestry street. Greenwich street and
Vjesbrosses street TO West street, near the
Cesbrosses street ferry. North River
A comprehensive system Of transfers be-
tween the Manhattan and Brooklyn lines
will be put in operation although second
transfers will not be issued in either Dor
ough
II Is estimated that a grand total Of
twenty thousand Manhattan and Brooklyn
surface cars will give transfers on both
sides Of the river in connection with the
traffic over the bridge
The city is TO be reimbursed by the rail-
road companies for their use Of bridge
property at the same rate which they are
now paying for the right to operate over
the Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges,
besides which they are required to spend
So 900 in equpping the structure for this
temporary service. An equal or greater
amount will be spent by the railroad COM
panes in preparing the temporary connec-
tiors with the bridge tracks. The permit
for this temporary service is reyocable at
will

PARKS KEPT BETTER
Municipal Research Bureau Re-
ports to Mayor.

The Bureau of Municipal Research has
reported to Mayor Gaynor and to Park
Commissioner Slower that although there
seems 10 be a visible Improvement in the
mark system as compared with 1910 there
still remains so much TO be done TO bring
the parks up to the proper standard that
the good work should be continued.
Following its custom of previous years.
the bureau recently sent inspectors and
photographers into Central Park Morning
side Park and Riverside Park TO photo
srsph things as they were. The hundred
or more pictures taken illustrate one hun
dred separate things that need correcting.
These photographs were taken as first
hand evidence that the conditions spoken Of
really existed. The report based on them
was sent TO the Park Commissioner and
the Mayor. Louis F La Roche, the Com
mIssioner's right hand man, told Henry
Bruere Of the bureau, after the submits
sion Of the report, that some OF the best
bets" had been overlooked in the eXamina-
ton of the three parks by the bureau in
spectors and photographers. and MIR. La
Roche invited the chief researchers TO JOIN
him in a tour of the parks mentioned. Mr.
Pruere, Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Wilson accepted
the invitation.
Mr.. Bruere said Yesterday that an exam
nation of the shops In Central Park
showed that some definite step of advance
ment had been taken by the Park Depart
ment in getting them into such shape and
he gave Mr.. La Roche the credit for doing
good work in that as we'll as in other direc-
lions since he became the Park Commits
sioner's right bower.
A supplemental letter was sent TO Com
missioner Slower informing him that there
was evidence of systematic attempt 10
do things. However, the bureau officials
did not let II he understood that what had
been accomplished was all that needed to
be done.
When asked yesterday about the investi-
cations and the subsequent reports, Mr.
Bruere said 1t was fair TO Mr. La Roche
TO say that he had done good work and had
brought about improvement since he en-
tered the Park Department.
