he went on to Pharr to look over the
Sd Brigade. "If they were a little shy
of equipment on their arrival it is well
to remember they got under way in

MOVIES AND SONG
FOR GUARDSMEN
Y. M. c. A. to Send Screen
Thrillers and Ragtime
to Border.

More than one hundred Y. NJ. c. A.
secretaries throughout the country are
packing their bags to-day and prepar-
ing to go to the border for service with
the militia. The Army and Navy De-
partment of the Y. NJ. c. A. has de-
cided to equip twenty-five association
branches, placing five men in charge of
each.
Officers in the War Department, from
the Secretary and General Staff down,
are actively assisting. In many in
stances officers have written to the
headquarters of the association ex-
pressing the fear Of breakdown in
the moral and social ideals of the men
at the front undsr the trying condi-
tions that are being experienced, un-
less some strong social centre is estab-
lished at each post.
The equipment of each unit includes
talking machines with at least one hun
dred up-to-dat records, and a movie
OulII- IL 10 ~
records and films between the posts
every two or three days, so that the
soldiers cannot complain of a lack of
novelty. There will be also with each
unit a portable organ and supply of
ragtime. an
To provide outdoor sports the 100
association workers, almost all OF
whom have had experience as play lead
ers, will take with them a quantity OF
baseballs, quoits and handballs.
The outfit for each branch Will in
clude the framework of a building
which can be erected at once. Where
brigades are not kept intact there Will
be smaller buildings for scattered regi-
ments.
Gospel meetings and Bible classes
will be held daily and well known MIN
isters will be asked to visit the border
and address the men.
The cost Of each unit will be about
$1,000. The association is appealing to
friends of the soldiers to provide the
needed money. One association leader
reports the receipt of $4,000 from the
father of private at. the border. FIVE
thousand dollars will not only establish
one of the units. but keep it in opera
ton for six months. the association

VIGILANCE COMMITTEE
IS PLANNED FOR PARKS
Ward Will Organize Fight
Against EncrOachment.

Park Commissioner Cabot Ward is
soon 10 call conference in his Office
to consider the formation of an asso-
citation to protect the parks of New
York against encroachment. Although
pleased at the eagerness shown by the
public in fighting the establishment
Of pumping stations in Morningslde
Park, Mr.. Ward declared yesterday
that there should be a permanent vigl-
lance committee to guard against such
projects.
Temporary permits for the use of
public roperty by individuals or private
corporations had the habit of becom-
ing permanent, Mr.. Ward said.
'In New York" he continued, I'VE
have seen some excellent examples OF
this, among them the unsightly struct-
ure extending into City Hall Park, and
providing extra switching space for
the Brooklyn Bridge trains. This was
put up as a temporary expedient, but
it still remains and there seems to b.
no prospect of its removal"

.CONLEY MUST GO,
BAKER DECIDES
Upholds Woods Action in
Dismissing 69th's
Officers.
THE ONLY COURSE,
SECRETARY SAYS
Surgeons Reports Declared to
Have Left Him No
Alternative.
tFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, July l9.-Secretary OF
War Baker upheld General Wood to-
day in dsmissing Colonel Conley and
Lieutenant Colonel Phelan from Their
commands in the 69th New York In
fantry. The Secretary found that not
only was General Wood technically
within his powers in refusing to accept
them in the Federal service, but that in
view of their physical condition as re-
vealed by the examining surgeons re-
ports it was the only proper course for
him to take.
In announcing the decision Secretary
Baker said:
"Oa the 10th day of July the exam
ining surgeon at Camp Whitman, New
York, reported to the department head
quarters the result of a physical ex-
animation of Colonel Conley and Lieu
tenant Colonel Phelan, of the 69th New
York organized militia regiment.
"In view of the high official position
and excellent service of both Colonel
Conley and Lieutenant Colonel Phelan,
this report was sent to the surgeon OF
the department with directions to an
swer the following questions:
81. Do you consider this othcer
capable of performing all the duties OF
his Office in the field? 49,.
"2. Do you consider his condition
such as TO warrant his acceptance into
the service?

War Changed Conditions.

THE war has turned Ellis Island into
a detention camp. Immigrants could
not be deported to Germany, Russia or
Austria-Hungary. They kept coming
in, and soon we had hundreds that had
to be kept here until the end of the
war, or some other disposition made
for them.
Unfortunately, the government has
not provided for long detentions such
as the war has created, and the war
rant rooms have been at times over
crowded.
Complaint is made that | opened q
big playground on the lawn. admit
it, and | admit, also, that the warrant
cases are permitted TO go TO the lawn
under the supervision of matrons and
in company with other aliens. They
also walk on the big veranda, under
instructions to bother no one. The
only other alternative was TO lock
these girls in close, small room. and
keep them there for months, and some
of them for years, until the war per-
mits their return.
"The Department OF Labor sent rep
resentatives 10 Ellis Island to see what
could be done to relieve the war con-
gestion. Every case was looked into
thoroughly, and those admitted until
the end of the war are under some
kind Of probation arrangement.

Siasconset, Mass, July l9.-Frederie
c. Howe, Commissioner Of Immigra-
tion, whose administration was severely
criticised in the House of Representa-
tives by William S. Bennet on Tues
day, replied to-day to the attack upon
him.

Mr.. Howe, started when | requested

"Mr. Bennett introduced an amend

MED the government the right 10 feed

"All that can make out of the state
ment of Mr.. Bennet is that some per-
sons at Ellis Island who have commu-
nicated with him think il is immoral

"To both questions a negative an,

thereupon ordered the rejection OF both
officers. When the re. orts were hnally

"Since the detailed report of the

MAY STRAIGHTEN
HARBOR CHANNEL
in near FUTURE
u. S. Engineers Office Hopes
to Dredge Away Dangerous
Reef and Cut Out Bend

A possibility exists that the $le6,-
500 appropriation made by Congress
for continuing The Improvement OF
Honolulu harbor win he used TO
straighten the harbor-entrance chan
mel cutting out the resent danger
Gus bend at Beacon o, opposite the
Fort Armstrong military reservation.
If permission can be secured from
Washington, Lieut,Col- r. r. Ray
mond. U. S. engineer for the Hawai-
ian engineer district, and department
tai engineer. will use the money for
dredging away the Waikiki reef which
now makes it necessary for pilots
bringing vessels into port to steer
them around the bend at Beacon s.
Doing this brings ships dangerously
near the west bank. .. .~...,. -: r.
This Improvement. if accomplished,
will make the channel extend in a
straight line from the entrance to the
inner harbor and will make naviga-
tion much safer, not only for incom-
ing vessels hut outgoing as well.
The east reef of the channel varies
from 81 feet under water at the Wal
hki edge of the present channel, to
I2 feet at the east dredging line. The
projected improvement will give a
depth of So feet clear to the dredging
line and eliminate this dangerous
reef, to avoid which the Matson liner
Luriihe ran aground while returning
from Kahului about year and half
or more ago, on Sunday morning,
while rounding the bend at the most
dangerous part of the reef The Lur-
line ran agrcun don the west bank,
while tr.slg to avoid the reef on the
east bank. She was aground several
hours, but was not damaged -. -:
Work of dredging in the vicinity of
the quarantine wharf is expected to.
commence some time next month. A.
Fl. Hobart, who will be resident agent
for the contractors, the Standard Am
eTican Dredging Company, arrived on
the Matsonia Tuesday and is taking
borings where dredging is to be done
on this contract. He is also arrang-
ing to bring dredges here and have
the work begun. ... .,......
1t will be about three months be-
for plans and specifications for the
kahului west breakwater win be out.
An appropriation of $250,000 for the
breakwater and $4,000 for mafnte.
nance has been made by Congress, as
announces by the Star-Bulletin yes
.erday. ~ - "a
The west rbfeaRwater will be about
2G00 feet long % rubble-mound con-
struction. same as the present Kahu-
nj east breakwater and the Hilo
lreakwater now building. It will ex-
lend out from the west bank of Ka-
lului harbor, and will complete the
governments plans for making that
bort safe for vessels of all kinds.
Bids will be. advertised for after
,lans and specifications are finished.
