COLONEL'S FILMS FAILURES.
Plates Rescued From River Refuse
10 Print Clear Pictures.

II was learned yesterday that many OF
the films and photographs taken by Col
Roosevelt and Anthony Fiala In their South
American tour are failures. These films
and negatives were given to firm Of
photographers in this city to print. Some
had been rescued from the bottom OF the
river where they went when tho canoes
upset. and II was hoped that these might
not have been injured. Others had not
been in the water and little fear was had
for them unless the climate had injured
them.
The Yost expert developers were put on
the job with instructions TO use every
care and all skill possible, but their efforts
were OF little avail. OF the films that
went to the bottom OF the river Only one
had been saved and that is not very
clear, one. All the single photographs are
ruined and no skill can bring out what
was wanted on the plates.
OF the films and negatives that did not
go into the water some are good, but
many are ruined through dampness. The
photographers think that they must have
been In a very moist atmosphere, which
has a bad effect on all sensitized plates or
films and makes the negative nat and
cloudy.
The work is being rushed as fast as
possible but II has been delayed because
of the extraordinary care the WORKINGS
have had TO take. The photographs were
not the only things ruined ia this eN-
petition. Several thousand specimens were
also lost and these cannot be replaced.

PLAN TO SAVE ST. ANDREWS

When the city planning committee OF
the Board OF Estimate gave It's long prom.
ised hearing yesterday on the contem-
plated eastward shift OF the new County
Court House site host Of men who APP
prove OF the shift appeared. and nobody
who had any sweeping objection.
The Rev. Luke ]. Evers. pastor OF St.
Andrews Roman Catholic Church. and
the night workers OF his parish wanted
church TO stand. Laurence ~ d. Nc
CURE. president OF the Board OF Real
Estate Brokers. requested more thor
ough investigation OF the new sites cost
and thought borings should be made to
determine whether firm foundation could
be obtained. Otherwise there was little
criticism Of the programme which has
been approved by the Court House board
and will probably be considered by the
Board OF Estimate next week
Mr.. McAneny assured Father EverS
that the city was disposed 10 leave the
church standing II possible, aud trat he
would be notified OF every step taken.
Mr.. Mcguire, who has been the most
outspokcn critic of the court house shift,
said:
II am not opposing this thing, but
would ask YOU TO postpone action until
you are positively assured that proper
foundations could be obtained. Your re-
port says that because Of engineering
progress foundations can be secured any
where IN Manhattan. That is true. What
we want to know is how much they would
cost.
we should also like to know IL the
proposed circular street around the court
house and the diagonal street to the
Manhattan Bridge are parts of the pres
ent plan or constitute Il separate proceed
Ing. This information is, important to
property owners because Of the local as
sessments that would be made
They arc separate proceedings. We
have no option in the matter, Mr. Nc
Aueny said.
Mr. Mcclure said the Real Estate Board
felt that the land to be acquired for the
new site would cost more than had been
represented.
I'VE are advised differently" SAID Mr..
McAneny. I'VE are allowing 4 margin
OF $500, 600 for possible Increase In IS
sessmen,. There Is nc reason to believe
that the cost would much exceed ':na
assessment value"
Borough President Marks also asked ,or
information about borings Mr McAncny
said he wasn't in favor OF delaying the
proceedings until borings could be com
plcted
we'll" said Mr.. Mcclure, II suggest
that before you adopt any final plan you
look into the trouble the Hallenbeck
fulding. which Is in the proposed con-
demned area, and the Municipal Building
had in getting foundations.
Among those who spoke In favor Of thC
shift were +. =. Goodrich. an engineer
who said ample foundations could by
