city council harbors committee, to-
day gave The Day Book two vital
reasons why he is against the Illinois
Central identification ordinance Of
fered this week in a grand and gen
erOus manner by Pres. Charlie Mark
ham and the l. C. directors. Aid. Lit
tier says he believes, the reasons
which influence him are also effec-
tive with the other members of the
harbOrs committee. His prediction
is that unless the l. G. offers to give
the city a whole lot different terms
the ordinance so grandly offered this
week, with so much grand newspa-
per space, will be kicked from the
city hall to the cutters.
First of all, understand the Ordi-
nance to mean that with the city's
permission the l. c. will start build
ing a terminal downtown" said Lit
tier ct is to have five years in which
to build. Then its promise is that
five years after the terminal is fin
ished it must have completed its cleo
tTifcatiOn scheme.
This means the l. Z. wants ten
years time to work out electrical
ton. l believe the harbors commit
tee is unanimously against a ten
year period. The least that could be
expected is five years. With any en-
cheering skill at all, we ought to get
identification in less than five years.
Second, l would ask why the 1. y.
says nothing in it's ordinance about
electrifying freight and passenger
traffic. Nothing but suburban traf-
fic is to beelectTified, according to
the proposed ordinance.
Freight engines would still be
free to smoke as they pleased and to
scatter smudge and cinders over
Grant park Through passenger
trains would still be frefe to run into
the 18th street station, scattering
black dust all along the south lake

few SMALL COINS
Directors Of Minis Hold Confer
ence to Solve Problem.
INDICATION OF PROSPERITY

People Among Whom NokeIs, Dimes
and Quarters Circulate Have More
Than Ever 6efore-EnsraVine De-
partment Reports Enormous Demand
For One and Two Dollar Bills.
New York.-An unprecedented de-
mand for small coins-quarterS, dimes,
nickels and cents--a demand that Is
daily straining the resources Of the
United States treasury department,
brought +. IL. j. Van Engelken, direc-
tor of the mint. to New York to see If
something could be done to relieve the
scarcity. He met officials of all mints
here for u conference to devise ways
and means of turning out enough small
coins to meet the demand.
At the conference were Il. W. IL.
Shanahan. superintendent of the San
Francisco mint; Thomas w. Annear,
superintendent of the Denver mint; E.
D. Hawkins, chief clerk of the San
Francisco mint, and Vernon Boyle, su-
perlntendent Of the New York assay
office.
I'VE never before have been confront
ed by such an emergency" said Mr..
Van Engelken, land l doubt that we
will be able to materially increase the
production. Our two large minis now
are working twenty-four hours a day,
while the smallest Is on a sixteen hour
shift. They are all at maximum ca
pacity. and their energies are being
concentrated on the coins of which we
are so short.
Our idea in holding the conference
was to discuss the operation Of the
mints, probably adopting at all Of them
suggestions that have proved of benefit
in one mint. We are now at capacity.
Therefore by the team work which we
believe this conference will produce we
expect to be able to speed up our pro-
duction of small coins. The problem
is growing more perplexing every day."
what Is the rea son for the shortage
in small coins7" the director of the
mint was asked.
There Is only one answer" he said.
The people among whom the small
coins circulate have moe OF them than
ever before. 1t is the result of the ire
mendous prosperity that is getting
down to the people who use coins of
small denominations.
81 talked recently with the head of
the engraving department in Washing
ton. He tells me there is similar ire
meEdous demand for the dollar and
two dollar bills and that this demand
is increasing as the holiday season ap-
proaches. None Of them is returned.
They are worn out. Bankers say they
are having great difficulty in meeting
the demand"

SEVEN THOUSAND MILE
VOYAGE IS MADE BY TUG
Mistaken a Dozen Times For Sub.
marine In Trip Across
Atlantic.

New York.-A remarkable sea voy-
age Of 1000 miles, from Dordrecht,
Holland, to Tampico, Mexico, in tug
boat but sixty feet in length, with a
draft of three feet. has just been COM
pleted by a crew of men under the
leadership Of Captain H. Waltaker.
Captain Waltaker and his crew, OF
whom one was z. NJ. Eden, a young
artist of Amsterdam, who made the
trip to satisfy longing for adventure,
started home on the steamship Nieuw
Amsterdam.
The voyage required eighty-four days
time and was made doubly hazardous
by the fact that the tug could carry
only twenty-seven tons of coal. FIRE.
quent attempts to stop passing vessels
to replenish the bunkers failed. Each
time the presence Of the small boat In
the path of steamship would send the
vessel zigzagging away in the belief
that the tug might be disguised sub
marine.
I'VE were taken for a submarine a
dozen times during the trip" said Mr..
Eden, "and each time the vessel took
to flight and we could not catch her,
although we were badly in need OF
coal and provisions"
The tug was the Fuerta, built by the
Corona Oil company in its shipyards
in Holland for use in towing oil barges
in the Panuco river. In ordinary cir
cumstances the tug would have been
transported dashed to ships deck, but
the freight rate demanded was deemed
exorbitant, and Captain Waltaker was
selected to make the voyage with the
tug under her own power.

TWO THOUSAND VOICES IN
CHORUS CHRISTMAS EVE
VIII Be Supplemented by sololst and
orohsstra of Seventy Pieces.

New York.-The New York Commu-
nifty chorus, under the direction OF
Harry Barnhart, will try to have al
most all New York sing on Christmas
eve. There will be Christmas songs
around the Christmas tree in Madison
square. and later the chorus and as
many other people as the place can
hold will fill Madison Square Garden
and sing Handel's Messiah"
The chorus probably will contain be-
tween 1900 and 1000 persons, who
have been practicing the oratorio for
two months. They will be supple
mented by soloist and an orchestra
of seventy pieces.
Mr.. Barnhart, who, with Arthur Far
well, the composer; W. kirkpatrick
Brice, the treasurer, and Claude Brag-
don, the architect and the creator or
the Light" half Of "Song and Light"
was impressed first by the national in
eptitude for music. When listening to
a band concert in a park at Rochester
he suddenly was struck by the idea
that the mute and enchanted crowd
would be glad to sing If they had only
the opportunity and training.
To fill this need he organized COM
munity chorus in Rochester and later
a smaller one at Lyons, n Y. 1t was
only In January of 1916 that the New
York Community chorus was attempt
ed, but since then its ranks have been
expanding rapidly until 1t now is neces-
sary to transfer it from the auditorium
of De Witt Clinton high school to Mad
ison Square Garden for the Christmas
celebration.

Spanking Replaces Moral suasIon.

New Whatever educators may
say of the advantages of moral suasion
over the rod, superintendent and trus-
tees for New York's dependent orphans
have concluded to the contrary. Good,
old fashioned spankings work wonders,
they declare. Thirty of them met at
the Russell Sage foundation and agreed
that the 10000 orphans under their
care were more amenable to spanking
than to other forms OF reproof.

He directed the work of the men
who were rescuing him, and was
