W. c. 7. U. Notes

If it can be proven that the destruc-
ton of the Titanic and the crushing out
of over 1000 lives was largely due to
drunken officers and sailors, the liquor
traffic will receive another blow, as all
these influences at this period of our
nations progress will be brought to
bear more strongly against this gigan-
tic evil.
Out of the toll of human sacrifice
thousands are slain by the destroyer,
rum, every year, which can be abol-
ished more speedily if money and pow
er were freely used in the administra-
tion of justice. e.-Contributed.

the commission TO Investigate Port Con-
ditions and Pier Extensions in New York
IIarbor. Mayor Gaynor declared yesterday
that the proposed overhead freight rail
road along the West Side of Manhattan
was I'm several ways a greater thing for

hoped the plans would be approved early
in the autumn, so that the work might
be- started at once
Speaking Of the preliminary report that
had been sent TO him by Mr. Smith the
Mayor said:
II completely dispels the notion which
very generally prevails that the Port OF
New York Is already congested As YOU
point out only n very small portion of the
$50 miles OF available dock frontage in
this port has thus far been improved and
put TO use. The trouble is that many
mistake Manhattan for the city. There

North River But that can all be relieved.
