HARBOR BOARD IS TOLD
Expansion of Business Called
impossible With Present Docks.

NEW YORK, March 19.-The New
York Harbor Line Board held pub
lie hearing yesterday as to the adj
visibility and feasibility of the pro-
posed pier headline along the New
Jersey and New York shores of the
North river above Thirty fourth
street. Manhattan.
K. c. Jenllinson, of the New Jer-
sey Harbor Commission, told Colonel
Rossell chairman of the board, the
present 300-foot pierhead line pre-
vents any further expansion of bust
ness properties on the New Jersey
water front from Communipaw to
Fort Lee.
W. l.. Ross argued that piers
owned by most of the Jersey con-
Germs are limited to length too short
to meet the requirements.
c. b. Warner said his 300-foot piers
are much too short.
Clarence T. Birkett, secretary of the
Hudson River Improvement Associa-
ton of New Jersey, declared the re-
striction prevents development

Facing Problem of High Cost of Living Woman Invests Her
Entire Funds in Hen-house and Hens and Despite Early
Failures Succeeded in Making Poultry Pay for Farm

OMAHA, Neb., March 19.-Miss l.
c. Harding, secretary of the Omaha
Board of Trade, has a chicken farm
worth $4,000, and last year she
cleared $4,765 on her poultry and
eggs. Nine years ago she had just
$40 and job in a business office.
That was about the time when Miss
Harding noticed the high cost of liV-
ing, and she was the main support OF
her family. She invested that $40 In
a hen-house, dozen hens and a
rooster. At first her idea was to sup
ply fresh eggs for the family table
and she found the backyard plenty
large enough for the flock.
With this plant she succeeded IN
furnishing enough eggs for her family
and some neighbors, and in the spring
she bought small incubator After
lighting the tiny lamp Miss Harding
spent days and nights of constant
worry for fear it would go out, ana
paid the wooden hen many anxious
visits.
Miss Harding thought she. had the
chicken UuSlllESo OOAN u - D.
and there. but more trouble came
when she lost all of the first hatch
because she had no brooder or re-
ceptacle for bridging the dangerous
first ten days Of the little chicks
life.
Miss Harding is a sticker, and, al
though discouraged, she put another
Setting" in the incubator and began
plans for homemade brooder.
When the eggs Matched she took
packing box, put a small piece OF
carpet on the bottom and set around
the sides several jugs filled with hot
water. The jugs were wrapped with
cotton batting to protect the chicks
and the whole was covered with an
old comforter, which was allowed TO
sag down in the middle and solved
the problem of keeping warm the
downy little backs.

ATTACKS BRYAN'S SPEECH
AS "VIRULENT NONSENSE


LONDON, March 19.-Following up
the Posts attack on William Jennings
Bryan. the American secretary of
state, for his speech at the ST. Pat
rick's Day banquet given by Irish
Americans at Washington Saturday
evening, in which Mr.. Bryan congrat-
ulated his hearers on the bright pros
poets of home rule for Ireland and
made some remarks about the speedy
disappearance of "the hereditary
principle" in government, the Stan
dard says:
"If Mr.. Bryan really expresses the
views of the cabinet and the Presi-
dent, the relations between Great
Britain and the United States may
enter upon a phase which would be
regarded with extreme regret by a
majority Of the sensible, moderate
persons of both countries"
The Standard describes Secretary
Bryan's speech as "a fine example of
virulent and inflated nonsense which
the inferior kind of demagogue talks
when he wants to catch Irish votes"

SAYS WATERS THE
RUB IN GAS PRICE
Engineers Figures Show Why
Britains Pay Only SO Cents
Per 1000 Feet.
BY HERMAN 3. WALKER

The average price Of gas for light
ing and cooking in England is about
1fty cents thousand feet.
Coal. which is the most costly item
in the production of gas. costs more
in England than in The United
States.
A large proportion Of English gas
plants are under municipal owner
ship and operation.
Tie difference. between fifty cents
and the price paid in New Jersey is
the tax paid by the consumer to spe'
cial privilege. Ninety-cent gas means
that the gas consumers of this State
are paying something like S5,000OO a
wear in extortionate profits to private
monopoly for gas alone. This big
profit goes TO pay big salaries and
dividends and interest and stocks and
bonds representing no investment
lin the face of the elaborate figures
and arguments submitted by the Pub
lie Service Corporation in the Pas
sale case recently it is interesting to
read statement by J. T. Newbig-
ging, engineer of the Manchester
England city gas works, as to the
cost Of gas.
The capital invested in Englishtgas
works. Mr.. Newbigging said, in a
series of lectures on gas manufacture
recently delivered at the Manchester
University. is $2,433 per million cubic
feet a year of production. This IS
about half the capitalization of the
average gas companies in this coun-
Hry. But there is no watered stock
in the English municipal plants.
Roughly speaking, Mr. Newbigging
puts the cost Of producing and dis
tributing lighting gas in England at
about two thirds Of the selling price
That is. where the selling price is two
shillings (4S 2-3 eepts). as it is In
many of the English municipal
ownership cities. the cost of produc-
zion. Of maintenance of distribution
and service plants, etc, is thirty-two
cents a thousand. and the other six
seen cents is absorbed, in the case OF
municipal works. by interest on Dor
rowed capital, sinking fund charges
and profits devoted to relief of taxes
for other purposes.
Mr.. Newbigging regretted the fact
that so much profits were being used

agent in an effort to extort $1,000 from
C. Titajen. a grocer. of S96 Spring

convicted before Judge Hand and re-

The evidence showed that Mcmillan
represented he had caught Tietjen

that the complaint could be hushed
up for $500. Tietjen told Revenue
Agent John Sinsel, and officers were
concealed in room at the Hotel Bres-

for the relief Of taxes, and urged that,
instead the price of gas should be
further reduced to consumers.
The cost of producing and distrib-
uting gas, as asserted by this British
engineer. tallies rather remarkably
with figures presented at hearings on
the cost of gas in Washington. D. c.,
before committees of Congress "a few
years ago. In these hearings the eX-
perts of the gas companies claimed
that the cost of manufacture and dis
tribution was between forty and fifty
cents a thousand feet, while disinter-
ested gas experts claimed this esti-
mate was too high. and that thirty to
thirty-five cents a thousand was q
liberal figure.

When President Taft informed Pro-

this message was construed by Huer-

So, consequently, as action of de-

Ex-Vice President Suarez was also
murdered at the same time. But no
intervention came. The murders

So now the brigand government de-

cause for the intervention, and must
proceed in a way that will not re-
