PANAMA CANAL BOON
TO SAN FRANCISCO
FNPORTS FROM PACIFIC COAST
CITY SHOW 4 GREAT
INCREASE.

WASHINGTON, Nov 1S.-While
foreign bound commerce of the
United States showed great decline
last month from the traffic of Oc-
tober a year ago, at most of the great
ports, San Francisco's export business
nearly doubled. The total from san
Francisco last month was tS.950.234,
compared with $5,505,455 in October,
1913. In addition to this direct bust
ness with foreign countries, San
Francisco sent $5,096,064 worth OF
goods to New York last month, much
Of which 1t is believed was destined
for European countries. The figures
show striklp-sf the great benefit
reaped by the Pacific coast city from
the opening OF the Panama canal.
All OF the New York cargoes. and
S3.S46,sSS of the foreign bound COM
merce went through the canal, Eng
land taking over three millions OF the
latter figure. The great bulk of the
exports was in foodstuffs. including
wheat, barley and other breadstuffs
although approximately a million dol
lars worth of coatswise shipments was
IN canned salmon from Alaska and
other points IN the Pacific northwest
Another million represented canned
fruit and the balance was largely
made up OF dried fruit and other food
material.

LONDON, May 1.-Two suffragettes
interrupted The state performance at
the Royal Opera, Coyent Garden, last
night, which was given in honor Of
King Christian X. and Queen Alex

Opera House was practically palace
for the night, with King George as
host Royalty was there in great
numbers, as well as the most PROM
inent members of the nobility and the
foreign diplomats
The suffragettes were seated in the
balcony above the royal box. During
a brief interval in the performance
one of the women leaned over the bal
cony and shouted: "king George,
women are Icing tortured in your
dominions.'' Two men in tho audi

dragged her away. Another militant
took her place and began to scatter

Coney Island Pier to Go

NEW YORK, May 12.-Hopes Of
Coney Islanders for the retention Of
the old Dreamland pier received a
severe setback yesterday through the
action of Park Commissioner r. Y,
1ngersoll. Commissioner Ingersoll, in
% communication sent to Henry II.
Curran, chairman of the finance COM
mittee Of the Board of Aldermen, re-
quested the immediate appropriation
of $1,000 for the removal of the pier
as already voted by the Beard of Este
mate.
In view of the reports already made
by experts as to the unsafety of the
pier, especially after the hard storms
of the winter. the park commissioner
declared that he was unwilling to
take the responsibility for the further
use of it.
In case il should be decided that
the pier might be used during the
summer with safety, the park COM
missioner requested that 1t be turned
back again to the dock commissioner
as the head of the department best
fitted to pass upon it and take care
of it.
