New York.-This Is the story Of the

city.
In writing of New York's new sub
way system one may as well dip into
the pot of superlatives at once. II

its building and equipment This is
the greatest group of bankers, both in

ever assembled under a single leader

one-half-speaking in millions-of the
total cost of the undertaking. At the

Believed Senate viii Uphold Principle
Of Free Entry for American Ships.
Senator A. O'Gorman of New York
who has been an uneompiomising
advocate Of free tolls for American
ships on the Panama Canal does not
believe that the Senate has changed
its attitude on the question in the
least and it will continue TO oppose
any measure that seeks to repeal
that provision 90 the act providing
for the government Of the Canal
Zone. The Canal has been built
on American soil, by American money
We own it, said Senator O'Gor-
man. and we will continue to operate
it for the benefit of the people. Any
other course would be dspicable and
any other construction of the Hay
Pauncfote Treaty would be shame
full. - The ship Fran selected by
Captain Roald Amundsen TO carry
him and his party to the North Pole
next fall will be the first vessel other
than a U. 5. Warship TO pass through
the Panama Canal. Col. Goethals,
builder Of the waterway, and Secre-
tary of War Garrison have given the
explorer this permission but because
of the possibility of landslides no
definite time for the actual transit of
the little vessel can be set. In
letter to Secretary Garrison Captain
Amundsen says: II naturally under
stand that the passage of the vessel
is entirely dependent upon the con-
dition of the slides, but | also realize
that even if the same should delay me
for a few months it would still be of
immensely more advantage for the
Fran to pass through the Canal than
to go around South America.

SUSSEX BERRY CROP SUFFERS
Shipments in Vicinity of Georgetown
Expected to Fall of Thirty Cars.

@NE~~AN1 ~ 80 ~ ~
Possibly some idea Of the exact
extent of the damage done TO the
berry crop in Sussex county by the
cold weather the first of last week
can be obtained from the report that
has reached Georgetown from some of
the extensive growers of this fruit in
the vicinity of Selbyville. II is re-
ported that the crop in that section
alone will fall short by so cars.
Csing that as a basis for calculations
and allowing 300 3O-quart crates to
the car, the loss in quarts will reach
the astounding figures of $50, 600
quart boxes. Other sections are said
TO be affected in proportion. but Of
course the greatest shortage in total
output will occur at Selbyville, since
it is second largest shipping point in
the world. according to figures of the
shipments for the past season or two.
While Bridgeville has the reputation
of sending out more cars during a
season than Selbyville, yet not so
many quart boxes are placed in each
of the cars as there is at Selbyville.
This being the case, more berries are
therefore consigned from Selbyville.
In 1910 the shipments from Sussex
county approximated 1000. 600
quarts. and in 1911 about IL. 600. 600
quarts, while last season there pass
ed over the Delaware road 1S, 626, 7S3
quarts. This year it is estimated
that the acreage in Sussex alone is
almost double that Of last year, and
had it not been for the two cold SPELLS
following each other at a time when
the berries were blOssoming and in
the making stage. thereby killing
thousands of quarts, the yield. it is
believed, would have been greater
than that of 1910 by thousands of
quarts. Some estimate that the first
frOsts and wet weather cut the crOl
One-third, but il was figured that
even with that large amount ruined
that the yield would far surpass that
of last season. Just what the output
this year will amount to is a question
for since the estimated one-third cut
was made there have been two killing
frosts and now the report comes from
some Of the Selbyville growers that
at least so cars have been damaged
by the last cold snap. However
growers are not giving up in despair,
and the general belief is that if ther,
are no more frosts and few gentle
rains fall while the berries are max
ing that the yield will still be aston
ishing. II IS difficult to climate jus
what will be the yield until a fev
days before the close of the season
for heavy rains and hot suns may rui
thousands Of quarts before the end o
the season. Such seems TO be tn
case almost every season. Long per
iods of dry weather have the sam
effect on the crop as heavy rains an
hot suns.
