WATERFRONT TO
 BE COMPLETED

The city is calling for bids for the. furnishing of brush and gravel to be used in the repair work on the waterfront from the Pioneer dock to kellum street, which will be used in the repair work of filling in.
 It is important that all those who can submit bid do so, for the work projected is among the most im- portant that the city has contem. plated this summer. The mild weath. CT is fast coming to close, and but little time remains in which to make the necessary repairs. Should cold weather come and the work not be finished, the city would find itself unprepared to meet the floods that are sure to come with the next breakup. Not only would the street in that vicinity suffer, but the prop erty holders as well, for but little remains of the street near Cowles. Therefore those who are able to fill the requirements of the speciica- tions should consider it civic duty to submit their bids.

GOLD SUBSIDY
 IS WANTED BY
 YUKON MINERS
Especial to The Citizen)

DAWSON. Y. T., Aug. 3O.-At a meeting of Dawson mining operators and business men a petition was drafted to be presented to the gov. trnment for the purpose of asking a bonus to be placed on the produc- tion of gold from this district.
 Other matters incorporated in the petition and on which the request is based is that enormous advances have been made in the prices of mining machinery and foodstuffs, and to continue to produce gold under these conditions threatens 10 compel the operators to suspend all opera. tions until conditions have been re. stored to normal. Should they at- tempt to continue operations, 1t would result in all concerned being forced to the wall, and unless i'm. mediate relief is given the mining industry will be ruined and thou. sands of dollars already invested in ohu piahtS VIII Uc loSt tO the owners. The petition will be pre-. sented with the strongest backing possible.
 The proposition of suspending the annual assessment work was also taken up, with the result that the meeting refused to recommend such a proceeding, claiming that such sus. pension would cause many claim holders to leave the country, they feeling assured of their property on their return. It was set forth that the suspension of the assessment obligations would be the means of depopulating many camps in the north
 As a clinchng argument in favor of the. bonus and against the sus. pension of the assessment work it was stated that if the bonus were granted all miners would be able to continue the working of their property and no suspension of the annual work would be needed

Wilsoniar1 Guards
Start Drive Against
Hearst in Brooklyn,

The Wilsonian Guards yesterday
launched drive to clear the Ocean Hill
section of Brooklyn Of Hearst news
papers.
This organization, which was formed
shortly after America declared war. is
composed of citizens of that section of
Brooklyn who banded themselves for
war service Of various kinds. As the
name of their organization indicates,
the members are hackers of the Presi-
dent. They were active in Red Cross
and Liberty Loan campaigns in their
part of town.
On their letterheads the Wilsonian
Guards define themselves as "a body of
100 ror cent Americans interested in
the total determination of spies, trait
ors, slackers, masked pacifists and other
similar reptiles"
AS beginning Of their fight against
the newspapers Of William Randolph
Hearst the Wilsonian Guards passed
this resolution:
"Whereas, Our Interpretation of the
sentiment expressed in numerous ar
ticlcs recently appearing in The New
York American and The New York
Evening Journal is that said articles
were not in harmony with the prin-
ciples of genuine Americanism and with
that unconditional loyalty which is due
our country in these moments Of
stress, be it
Resolved, That we, the members Of
the Wilsonian Guards, do hereby pledge
ourselves to exercise every legitimate
| means to discourage the reading of the
above mentioned newspapers during
and after the war"
Joseph 7. Waters, adjutant of the
Wilsonian Guards, will direct the anti
Hearst drive. He has ordered a guam
tity of the ~ Do Not Read Hearst
Papers" buttons to use as "ammu-
nition." His plan is to have members
of the guards make a canvass of their
section of Brooklyn, telling why they
pledged themselves to quit reading
Hearst publications and giving other
citizens the opportunity to make SIM
liar pledge. Anti Hearst buttons will
be presented to citizens who agree to
do their part toward keeping Hearst
papers out of the Ocean Hill section.

Two Shipbuilders
Claim Same Wife

If Sarah Helgesen, of 2Ss Dean
Street, Brooklyn, after having had one
ship carpenter for a husband. hadn't
gone and, as the police claim, married
another ship carpenter without first
going through the formality of getting
divorce she might not have found
herself in the predicament that con-
fronted her at the East Fifty-first
Street police station last night. But
Sarah did, the police say, and as a
result she was charged with bigamy.
Then, to add insult to injury, Ship
Carpenter Husband No. 1 and Ship
Carpenter Husband No 2 stepped out
OF an anteroom where they had been
waiting and simultaneously exclaimed,
"My wife!"
According to the police records in
the case, Sarah married Thomas c.
Jacobsen, thirty-fve. in 1912. After
two years she went to Sweden, but re-
turned to this country in 1916 and. it.
is alleged, married Harry E. Ander-
son.
Now, both Jacobsen and Anderson
are ship carpenters and work in the
same shipyards. Moreover, they lived
in the same boarding house at TIA
Third Avenue, Brooklyn
A week or so ago Jacobsen and An
derscn fell to discussing the subject
of women, collectively and individually.
For them it proved to be decidedly the
latter
Jacobsen said he didn't think much

Then Jacobsen said he didn't think
much of a woman, and then it all came

Lexington Subway
Sends First Trains
Over Tracks To-day
New Line Will Relieve
Traffic for Residents
of East Side
BY BRIGGS

The new Lexington Avenue subway
from the Grand Central Station, at
Forty-second Street, north as far as the
167th Street station, will be opened to
the public this afternoon. The first
official train will leave the Grand Cen
trail Station at 2 o'clock. After that
local trains will be put into operation
for the accommodation of passengers.
No express trains will operate over
the new subway system until the open
ing Of the entire II" system. which is
expected to take place within a short
time At present the local trains after
leaving the Grand Central Station will
stop at the Fifty-frst, Fifty-ninth,
Sixty-eighth. Seventy y-seventh, Eighty
sixth, Ninety-sixth, 103d. 10th, 116th
and 125th street stations in Manhattan
and the Mott Avenue station, at 13Sth
Street, in The Bronx.
The new subway is expected to pro-
vide traffic relief for residents of the
upper East Side and for those residing
in the eastern portion of Harlem.
When the entire "H" system is opened
it is expected the new subway Will re-
lieve completely the present traffic con-
gestion on the old subway north of the
Times Square station.
Passengers who use the old subway
from downtown stations and desire to
change to the Lexington Avenue line
can do SO by leaving the old subway at
the Grand Central Station, walking
along the mezzanine floor and then
down into the new subway.
When the "H" system is in operation
the present subway running underneath
West Forty-second Street from the
Grand Central Station to the Times
Square station will be used solely for
the operation of shuttle trains.
Increased facilities will also be pro-
vided for passengers desiring to make
transfers at both stations, so as to re-
lievc as much as possible the present
congestion.
