DICKINSON FORCETFUL
Fails to Recall Interstate Com
merce Freight Rate Provisions.
u. S. STEEL'S CAUSE AIDED
Federal Counsel Refutes Testi-
mony That Formation OF Cor
poration Reduced Prices.

The failure OF Judge Jacob NJ. Dlckin-
son. former Secretary OF War and now
counsel for the government IN its suit
10 dissolve the United States Steel Cor
poration. 10 recall certain interstate com
merce provisions respecting freight rates
resulted in the abandonment by the
prosecution at the bearing yesterday OF
one Of It's main points. The matter re-
lated TO the sale by the corporation OF
large quantities OF unfinished materials
10 its competitors for foreign trade at a
lower price than In the domestic market.
and was brought out in the cross-examl-
nation OF James A. Farrell. president OF
the corporation.
Mr. Farrell in direct testimony stated
the corporation sold approximately
100000 worth OF raw and unfinished
steel products annually at prices lower
than the domestic rate. on the under
standing that 1t he sold in export trade.
This. he said. was for the purpose OF
aiding other steel concerns in foreign
trade.
"Do you mean TO say that the corpora
ton has sold it's products at lower
price when II knew they were going
abroad than It did when they were to be
sold I'm this country" Judge Dickinson
demanded. I'm an Indignant tone OF voice.
II do" Mr.. Farrell answered
In an effort to get further testimony
which would indicate a discrimination
against the home consumers Judge Dick
nson asked the witness II the corpora
ton required an affidavit from it's pur-
chasers TO prove their foreign sales.
no. We are generally furnished with a
custom house bill OF lading." Mr.. Farrell
answered I'VE have followed out the
policy OF the government. which has en-
couraged foreign trade by letting rail-
roads make lower freight rates for mer-
chandse going abroad than for that
which goes from the same starting point
to the seaport in this country"
"Do you mean TO tell me that the gov
eminent does anything like that?" Judge
Dickinson demanded. "Do you mean to
say that the freight rates from Pitts
burgh. say. TO New York are less for the
merchandise which goes abroad than
when it's destination is New York;"
That's what / mean" Mr.. Farrell an
swered.
Under Judge Dickinson's cross-exami-
nation Mr.. Farrell admitted certain con-
tracts. called Secret" by the prosecu-
ton, made with the Hartman lines. the
American Can Company. the National
Transit Company. a Standard OIL sub
sdiary. and the Pittsburgh Steel Com
pany had been made with concessions
for the companies. Tho prices were not
secret. however. Mr. Farrell declared, but
could have been learned by any one In
terested in knowing them. These prices
were lower in some cases. he stated. but
only because the concerns were large
buyers.

CITY |CE-AND BREWERY?
Bronx President Goes MCAneny
One Better on Suggestions.
MUNICIPAL PLANT DEBATED
Plan to Supply Poor at Cost
from Milk Stations Deferred
Week.

Borough President McAneny yesterday
submitted 10 the Board Of Estimate a
plan for the construction of a municipal
ice plant, by means OF which ice could be
furnished to the poor at cost during the
summer. Action on the plan was deferred
for a week.
Borough President Miller. the faceuous
member Of the board, remarked In stage
whisper:
How about having a municipal brew
ery?"
The engineers OF the Borough Presi-
dent reported that II would not be posi-
BILE TO build and equip adequate plants
before the summer OF 1914 They sug-
gested. however that the Borough Presi-
dent and the Health Department be au-
thorized during the coming summer 10
provide for the manufacture OF Ice upon
an experimental basis through the use OF
the power plants OF the public buildings
and for the sale at cost OF the ice so pro-
duced at the fifty-hve milk stations now
maintained by the city. The plant In the
Hall Of Records for instance, could fur-
nisb twenty-five tons Of ice "A day. II
sold in blocks OF twenty-five pounds II
would supply almost 1000 families.
The Borough President recommended
that the power plants of the public baths
be fitted with auxiliary apparatus FOR
making ice and that the abandoned
powerhouse beneath the Williamsburg
Bridge be used
In regard TO the construction or per-
manent plants President McAneny sara
in his report
"I am informed that plants could be
established at capital outlay OF Sl'0OO
to 500 per ton Of daily capacity. and
that the cost OF production. including
capltal investment, but exclusive or de-
livery charges, would not exceed 81 per
ton. The current commercial price OF Ice
delivered is from 40 to A. cents n 100
mounds. or So to 80 ton. In the hottest
months of the summer. II the experience
Of the past is a guide, the price will be
still higher. And 1t is well known that
the consumers who would be reached
through milk statious-those who pur-
chase in fractional quantities-must pay
for ice at a rate even higher than the
highest formal quotations.
The cost of transporting city manu-
featured ice in bulk to the milk stations
It is calculated, would not exceed ~ 81
ton"

APPROVES LONG PIER PLAN
Estimate Board Hears War
Secretary Will Grant Permits.

The Board OF Estimate approved yes
terday the action of the Sinking Fund
Commission in authorizing Dock Commits
sioner Smith to begin condemnation pro-
ceedings for the acquisition OF the RI
parian rights between West 4ith street
and West 48th street for the construction
OF long piers. President Mitchell said the
Secretary OF War had assured him he
would grant temporary extensions OF the
permits for the lengthening Of the piers
in the Chelsea district as soon as he got
certified copies OF the action OF the Board
OF Aldermen showing It was serious in
its intention to provide for long piers
that would not lessen the fairway I'm the
river
The Board of Estimate also authorized
the acquisition OF property assessed at
81, 0O7,4o0 for the South Brooklyn water

TRINITY CHURCH DEFENDED
Colonel Jay Defines Attitude Of
CORPORATION Toward Subway.

Colonel William Jay. clerk OF Trinity
Church Corporation. authorizes tho fol-
lowing;
THE statement appearing IN the press
TO the effect that the Corporation Of Trim
ity Church had received money from the
city for the right to build a subway under
St. PauTs churchyard is not correct. The
right to construct such tunnel was decided
to the city by Trinity Church without
compensation. The building on Church
street between Fulton and Vesey streets
is used in large part for the business
offices Of the corporation and upon this
part of the building taxes are paid.
THE amount Of the consideration ex-
pressed in the deed represents the injury
done TO the property upon which the
building stands by reason Of the fact that
sub-cellars cannot be built, that no build
ing more than ten stories in height can
be erected thereon. and that the present
and any future building will suffer from
vibration caused by moving trains. The
consideration also covers the temporary
loss OF the use OF part Of the building dur
Ing the construction and necessary ex-
pense in that connection for removal and
storage.
The suggestion that Trinity Church
should forego compensation for damage
to its property because those parts Of It's
real estate which are used for religious
and educational purposes are exempt from
taxation is not a good one. The same
suggestion would apply with equal force
TO very numerous religious and edu-
cational corporations OF this city. some
Of them owning vast amounts of real es-
tate untaxed. The vestry Of Trinity
Church is trustee OF an estate given for
religious purposes. and 1t seems to be its
clear duty TO claim reasonable compensa-
ton for injuries TO its business prop

Mayor Will Have Hearing, as
Property Owners Oppose
Proposed Changes.

All voting aye" with the exception OF
members of the Board Of Estimate yes
terday approved the plan OF Borough
President McAneny. pushing the mouth
OF the tunnel at Park avenue and S4th
street back a block and cutting down the
sith street thoroughfare so that II may
cross Park avenue at grade.
Edmund L. Baylies, who said he repre-
ented property in the neighborhood worth
upward OF $50 100000 including the Van
derbilt Hotel and the Church OF the Mes
siah. appeared In opposition.
IF this board is TO decide against US"
he said. Il would call tho attention OF
the Mayor to the fact that his separate
approval OF the measure is necessary I'M
der the charter"
II think | am In position TO determine
my own course in the matter" the Mayor
replied. but 1 am willing 10 withhold
my vote at this meeting. II you like"
After the meeting was over Mr. Baylies
said he would take no action upon the
matter until the Mayor had held a hear
Ing and reached decision.
President McAneny pointed out the adj
vantages OF the Improvement as follows:
"F'irst-That the present gap and the
single roadway running at a steep in
cline from 32d street TO 3ith street will
be replaced by a broad and unbroken
plaza.
Second That the hump in 3ith street
itself will be removed. and the hill TO
the east, which at present presents a
barrier TO the further development of the
street. cut to level six feet beneath the
present maximum.
"Third-That the surface cars will
cross on a level, thus permitting the con-
venient transfer OF the more than 5000
passengers day who are now obliged
to climb up and down the tunnel stairs.
"Fourth-That SD street. which is also
blocked at present. will also be opened
TO traffic east and west.
"Fifth-That the shifting OF the orirce
OF the tunnel TO the block between saith
and 35th streets will involve the use OF
no space that is not already withdrawn
from vehicular traffic. The roadway
above 34th street is. moreover, twenty
feet wider than 1t is below
"Sixth-That the value OF the properties
on Fourth avenue below 34th street, as
we'll as the values upon 34th street be-
tween Madison and Lexington avenues
will be greatly enhanced; and,
"Seventh-That the value OF the city's
own armory property. between 3Sd and
3ith streets, will be increased. according
to the estimates of real estate experts,
by at least 10000"
President McAneny says the entire cost
OF the plan will not exceed more than
$4,000. although the opponents are talk
ing about 100000 damages. The oppo-
nents suggested an alternative plan for
relieving the congestion. but the Presi-
dent said 1t would be OF little value. IL
would leave the tunnel as 1t now is and
simply provide for pushing the easterly
stairway over under the I'D Regiment
Armory and replacing 1t with a ramp for
vehcular traffic. the same as on the west
erly side of the street.

MAN IN UNIFORM SAID
"GIVE UP" AND POLE GAVE
Przybischewski Exchanged His
$50 for 20 Cents Because He
Was Used to Obeying Orders.

Ever since he left the Polish frontier,
three weeks ago, Stanislaus Przybis-
chewski was in the habit of obeying
men in uniform. He travelled with
immigrants, and soon learned that all
must obey every man who wore brass
buttons. Stanislaus obeyed a man In
uniform at Ellis Island yesterday and
to-day is poorer by $50 which went into
the pocket of the uniform he was fool
ish enough TO respect.
The young Pole came here from
Bremen recently in the North German
Lloyd liner Giessen and passed muster
at Ellis Island. AS he was about TO
enter the land of the free yesterday he
was halted by man in uniform, who
addressed him in Polish.
How much money have you?' said
the man, bruskly.
Stanislaus drew from his bosom all
the money he had, fifty-dollar bill.
THAT is no good at all here" said
the uniformed person. 81 will ex-
change it, Here, take this money
He quickly took the young Poles bill
and handed him in return a veinte-
centavos piece Of the Argentine, which
is worth 20 cents. Stanislaus was then
told to hurry or he would miss the
ferry that was about TO leave for the
Battery.
He soon realized on arriving In Man
haitian that he had been duped. and,
returning to the island. reported the in
cident TO the Immigration officials
Commissioner Williams assigned sew
eral inspectors to take the Pole before
every uniformed man in every depart
ment on the island, but he could not
identify the trickster.

the increasing ravages OF cancer were
formulated at a conference between q
special committee appointed by the So
ciety OF American Physicians and Sur
geons and a body OF laymen at the
Harvard Club. in West 44th street,
yesterday afternoon.
This conference, according to those
connected with the movement, marks
the first concerted effort in this coun-
try to make the public a cooperating
agent with medical and surgical organ
izations against the recent alarming
inroads of the disease. While all al
legged cures have failed. experiments by
German specialists have shown that II
taken in the early stages concer can be
checked.
The general programme OF education
calls for lectures at nurses's training
schools and before civic bodies and
clubs and the publication Of articles
in popular magazines and In pamph-
let form giving rules for the detection
and treatment of disease In its early
stages. Statistics show that 80 per
cent more women than men fall VIC
tins TO this scourge, and hence spe-
cial attention will be paid to the work
Of disseminating knowledge through
the columns OF womens publications
and by means of lectures at their
clubs.
