TOMkINS EXPLAINS PLANS
City Should Acquire Terminals
on Waterfront, He Says.

Dock Commissioner Tomkins explained
his plans for the development OF the
South Brooklyn waterfront at pubic
hearing in the aldermanic chamber IN
the City Hall yesterday afternoon.
ut is generally recognized" said the
Dock Commissioner, that public ter
mnals will supplant private docking IA
cilities, and by their competition VIII ad-
yersely affect heavily taxed private tor
minaI properties. Consequently, water
front ownership no longer constitutes
valuable monopoly through its control
over the use of the back lands.
This is evidenced by the willingness OF
various terminal corporations to dispose
of their decks to the city. Under the new
order the marginal freight ways, which
coordinate the docks. and the inland
warehouses and industrial sites, will de-
terrnine the opportunities for monopoly
control.
ut is vital that the city shall not mere
ly develop its own system, but ultimately
acquire such OF these terminal highways
that may now be in private hands as 10
insure the full and impartial service 10
all interests concerned, great or small
city or private.
The Commissioner said he had changed
his previous plans so as TO include only
that which is essential for the citys
power to coordinate and control the en-
tire district between the Brooklyn Bridge
and the pennsylvania terminal Into one
organic whoe-in a word, a terminal
Tha road
need not be constructed at once, he said.

FIGHT AHEAD ON CURRENCY
Aldrich Bill Expected to Stir Up
Coming Congress.

Washington. Nov. 1.-THE AldrIch cur
rency bin bids fair to be a bone of con
tcntiou I'm both houses M the next session
Of Congress Although strongly recon-
mended BY the monetary commission, OF
which ex-senator Aldrich. Of Rhode ISL
and. was chairman. the currency bill re-
ceived no attention from either Senate or
House during the last session, Its friends
thought il expedient to 'ay II aside until
after the election. but the expectation Is
that II will be pressed during the short
session. and the report was current to-
day that there would be an effort to re-
organize the House Committee on Bank
ing and Currency so AZ to insure favora-
BILE action by that committee early In the
next Congress Ia case Of its non-success
this winter.
Opposition to the bill is more pro-
nounced I'm the House than I'm the Senate
and II is understood Chairman Henry Of
tho House Committee on Rules would
exert his influence to prevent the bring
ing In OF rule for the consideration OF
the measure unless 1t should be recon-
mended by House caucus His attitude
is that, because OF inc dltiuue oi lhe
Baltimore convention. the bill should not
be acted on by the House without the
positive approval of a majority OF the
Democratic members given In advance.
Opponents of the bill are already lining
up for Representative Carter Glass, Of
Virginia, as the next chairman Of the
Ranking Committee. The Craftsmanship
is now held by Representative Pujo. of
Louisiana, but he Will not be a member
Of the SD Congress. Mr.. Glass now holds
second place on the committee, but ii is
expected he will be antagonlzed by the
supporters of the Aldrich bill.

ganization. which was disbanded on Octo-
Der Is by Governor Dix, in order 10 re-
move Major General John +. Organ the

command until successor to General
Organ is appointed by the Governor
After the disarmament OF the division
organization there was no commanding
general and Adjutant General William
Verbeck was virtually I'm charge. Then
the different commanding officers were or
dered to Albany and asked by General
Verbeck. on behalf OF Governor Dix, as
TO whether they desired to have the for
mer divisional organization re-establshed.
They voted aye, and were told that or
ders would be issued to that effect.
No official order. however. had been re-
ccived until yesterday. and officers had
in the mean time been all at sea as to
whether there was division or not.
Under the disarmament order the 22d
Engineers. the lst Signal Company. lst

STUDENTS HEAR BRISBANE
Lecture on Opportunities of
Editorial Writer.

Arthur Brisbane, editor Of THE Evening
Journal" gave the budding journalists In
the Pulitzer School Of Journalism, at Col
umbia some wholesome advice yesterday
on the opportunities Of the editorial writ
or. The newspaper, according TO Mr. Bris-
bane. is the principal literature OF the
American people, and the writer Of the
editorials is a far moro important person
age than the ancient Greek or Roman ora
tor who spoke In the public square
More than five hundred persons crowded
TO Earl Hall, where the lecture was given,
and the stairways and foyer were damned.
Mr.. Brisbane said In part:
IL is possible for the editorial writer
now 20 talk TO at least five millions every
day. That actually happens. With our
newspaper machinery as it exists il will
be possible 10 talk to the entire reading
public every day. No power can be great
or than that. The editorial writer's power
is the power Of suggestion and the power
OF repettlOn-Very great FORCES.
First, have something to say. Then say
II so people will see il, read II, understand
II and believe it, These are the four
things the reader must See he must read.
he must understand, he must believe. II
you want 10 write an editorial defending
Moses against the attack of Rabbi Hrsch
who denounces some of Mosess teachings,
you can put almost any kind Of a heading
on your editorial. II you head II, "Analy-
sis of the Detetic Teachings OF the An
GENTS" 80 per cent Of those that see"
the heading won't read. You can write
the same editorial, head II. BE Kind to
Poor Moses, lie Had No Ice Box" and
80 per cent Of those that see will read.
The newspaper is many things in our
life. 1t is the principal literature OF the
American people and, therefore, good
or bad ii is highly important 10 the coun-
try. Among other things the newspaper S
editorial column takes the place Of the
public square at Athens, where one man
could talk to all Of the citizens The writ
er of the editorials is the talker IN the
public square Of to-day. lie can, II he
chooses, do as much for this age as the
Greek. using the voice instead of the pen,
typewriter or photograph. did In his age.

Shocks Man Who Just Inhaled
His Tenth Highball.

A water pipe in the Waldorf-Astoria be-
came clogged yesterday afternoon, ana
Ezra c. Bingham, the chief engineer, ana
his assistants began an investigation in

she wanted TO know about it, too. Pretty
soon the pipe was opened and an eel

Nellie might have thought it was a
Dachshund rat, but whatever she did
think she made a grab for the slippery
thing and, fastening her teeth upon 1t.
darted toward the stairway that leads
to the main floor. Bingham went after
the terrier, Tor it would never do, he de-
cided to let the dog and the eel get into
Peacock alley.
Nellie reached the main floor before her
pursuer, turned west into the corridor
where men wait for out-of-town friends TO
buy them drinks, and rushed into the bar
room dragging the struggling eel.

and asked the nearest bartender II he

another stif tumbler OF the smoky STUFF

Nellie created quite a fuss before she
was chased out again and this time she
ran around by the telephone booths TO the
office of the manager, and there laid her
prize at the feet Of Fred. Eislcr, who is
Mr. Stuart's assistant
Bingham arrived and took the eel away.
Mr.. Smith, the house detective. said after

to be found in the Waldorf-Astoiia at
