Tourney Lasted Three Weeks

NEW YORK. Feb. 3.-The feature OF
the most remarkable wrestling tourna-

with large and enthusiastic patronage,
was the overwhelming superiority OF
Alexander Aberg. the giant Esthonian.
over all the aSpirantS for honors OF
that style of grapplinE. The compet-
tors included the best foreign wrestlcrs
in the game, get all were like putty
in the clutches OF the big champion.
Several of those who pitted their
strength and skill against that Of
Aberg were severely injured by the
champion in his efforts TO pin them
to the mat. Zbyszko has not yet re-
covered from the effects OF his last
tussle with Aberg, and it was the
punishment that the champion inflicted
on Mort Henderson. the Masked Marvel
that took all the steam out Of
that grappler and made him a COM
parativey easy mark for Stecher in
the Garden contest.
AS a matter of fact. HbysZko was
the only man in the tournament that
could give the champion any kind or
battle and he was so roughly han
died that he was put out of the going.
There is no doubt that the giant Pole
pion. though Anton 1rsa, had he not
/ suffered severe injury carly III the
tournament. might have made 1t in
teresting for the Polander.
Therefore, AS a Ciraeco- Romaa tour

ness and endurance that there was no

Work on New SeaWall
 I Will Be Begun Soon

Work on the seawall from its pres ent terminus at the boulevard at Sea- side park to the southwestern end of Fayerweather's Island will com- mence within 10 days at the latest, according to word received by the park board last night from the Thomas A. Scott Co. of New London, which will do the work. The huge breakwater is to be completed by September 30, 1917. The employees of the city engineers office have all ready laid out the lines the wall is to take When the boulevard is extend ed a bridge of steel and concrete will be erected in front of the bath houses and bathers will reach the beach through a tunnel similar to that built on the promenade at Revere Beach near Boston.
 p The board has decided to establish a, playground at Old Mill Green on the side of the park nearest the Reming- tonS Arms factory. Tt will be sur rounded by a high wire fence like the playground at Yellow Mill. An effort will be made to open the play ground next month. Complaint has been made that young men enter the Lafayette street playground in the ev- ening after the children leave and considerable damage. has been done to the apparatus there. The matter will be reported to police department with request that policemen on duty in that vicinity prevent this practice in the future.
 The board last night adopted a rule forbidding the parking of automo- piles on the Seaside park boulevard within 200 feet of the bathohuse. Au- tomobile owners have complained to the board that they have difficulty in turning their cars at the end of the drive because of the congestion there due to parking. The commission will ask the police board for better police protection at Seaside and Beardsley park during the summer months. A caretaker will be appointed for the golf shelter at Beardsley park Rules regarding the use of the golf course will be posted in several places in the park

tice to all civilization that the German vote, and through the German vote the German Government holds the balance of power in American politics. It would proclaim to the nations that hereafter hope for reelection unless his. foreign policy was satisfactory to Berlin and the Kaiser. It would make Potsdam the political capital of the United sStates, and in its moral effect upon Germany it would be more po- tent than a great victory of the Ger man armies in the field.
 That Is the situation that the Am erican people face. Must their Presi- dent in the words of Colonel Roose- welt, be the viceroy of a foreign gov ernment' in order to be reelected? Can-a President of the United States be defeated by the Kaiser? Willingly or unwillfngly every American voter, be he Democrat or Republican, must vote on that issue when he goes to tho polls in November"
