HuIbert's Letter Read.

Before him at the meeting yester-
day Mayor Hylan had a letter from
Commissioner Hubert, dated De-
cember 2, urging the immediate con-
sideration of plans by which more
piers would be provided and enclosing
copies of applications for additional
pier space from upward OF twenty of
the largest shipping concerns in the
port.
In his letter Commissioner Hubert
stated that powerful railroad inter
ests and the transatlantic shipping
combine had secured such a monopoly
on available docking facilities that
they practically controlled the trade
and commerce Of the port and deter
mined through what channels II
should pass. He argued that less
than per cent. OF the total appro-
qriations in the United States for the
improvement Of rivers and harbors
had been expended in the port Of New
York despite the fact that one-hali
OF the foreign commerce OF the coun
try entered or cleared from this port

PIER IMPROVEMENT
PLAN AGAIN HALTED
Conference Held, but Discus
sion Is Confined to Craig's
Scheme.
PORT BUSINESS MENACED
Shipping Concerns Say They
May Be Forced to Go
Elsewhere.

Despite the assurance in a recent
statement published in THE SUN that
his plans for the improvement and
enlargement of the dock facilities of
the port were OF the utmost impor-
lance and demanded immediate consid-
Grafton IL commerce was not to be
driven elsewhere. Dock Commissioner
Hulbert's plans for these improve
ments were shunted into the back
ground again yesterday in favor OF a
discussion of Comptroller Craig's ideas
for the West Side improvement.
This was done also in the face of
the assurance by the Dock Commits
sioner that whatever plan for the
West Side was finally adopted his
plan for pier development would fit
into II.
The subject came up at continued
conference among the Dock Commits
sioner, A. II. Smith, Regional Direc-
tor Of Railroads; Comptroller Craig
Mayor Hylan and the other members
Of the Board Of Estimate at City Hall
Nothing definite was accomplished and
Monday afternoon.
Cost VIII He s2OO.OOO,0OO.
It has been estimated that Com
missioner Hulbert's proposed dock i'm
provements will involve an expendi-
ture of about 100000 900. which, how
ever, will be met eventually through
revenue, and that the West Side i'm
provement plan, including the i'm
provcment of Riverside Drive and the
removal OF tracks from grade below
Fifty ninth street, will cost in the
neighborhood Of about 100000 900.
Regional Director Smith stated tha'
good many plans had been talked
of, but that the only concrete sugges
ton he knew Of was that of Comp
troller Craig. although he admitted
that improved pier facilities would d.
much to relieve surface congestion il
Manhattan.
Comptroller Craig's plan Is for a siI
track tunnel from Fifty-nicth' stree
south to Canal, and the covering o
the tracks from Fifty-ninth stree
north to Riverside Park Mr.. Craii
managed to keep the discussion cen
tired upon this plan or a substitute on
for an elevated freight line, which wa,
apparently more favored by Regiona
Director Smith.

Oriain of Moon tn Doubt.

Many theories of the origin of the moon have been advanced. but all seeA1 to present some difficulties. Our satellite furnishes us many un, solved problems. A belief in the meteoric origin of the moon is now quite general. According to tais be

The material forming the ring gradually gathered Into one mass, our present moon. whose pitted face gives evidence Of the bombardment 1t received from me teoric masses within the ring.

Tin Cans Were Valuable Then.

It Is within the memory of many people on the farms that there was . time when tin cans were not too plen- tiful. Now and thea canned goods were bought, and for the empty cans p.enty of uses were found. For in- stance, tomato plants were started in them. standing in tho sunny kitchen window long before the garden was clear of snow; they were convenient for holding paint when a small job had to be done, and the small boys treasured them for holding their bait for those adventurous and ever-to-be remembered fishing excursions of early summer. Abort all the tin caEs that, came to a farmhouse twenty five or thirty years ago were put to good use.

 Hours.

Waukesha, May 29-Grace Lusk tonight was found guilty of second de- gree murder by the jury which tried her for killing Mrs. Mary Newman Roberts

 When the jury retired Miss Lusk collapsed and, it required half an hour to prepare her to be brought into court to hear the verdict. When the verdict was announced Miss I.usk sprang at the throat of T. s. Tullar, snecial prosce,aor, who is nearly 60 years old, and screaming: ''He lied he lied" she shook h;ln back and forth in his chair at the counsel table.
 Several men seized her and she tainted. Several minutes later when she had recovered, her aged father and one of the attorneys Were at tempting to lead her from the court room when she again tcrned toward Tullar and attempted to escape flom the men who held her.
 That mans son lied,' she shout ed. "Maurice Tullar swore my life away"
 She continued to struggle ana scream as she was dragged away. Maurice Tullar, now in sanitarium, is the district attorney and at the trial swore that four days after the shooting he obtained statement from Miss Lusk in which she eaid she realized why she had shot Mrs. Roberts but could not understand why she had done it so "calmly and delib- erately."
