Writing under date Of July IL, 1914
to w. L. G. Joerg, of the American
geographical Society, the Colonel said
the Brazilian government insisted upon
calling the stream the "Rio Roosevelt y
Il begged them, as did my son, Ker-
NIT wrote the Colonel, ITO keep the
name Duvida for the whole. inasmuch
as the name struck both of us as a
good one TO commemorate the circum-
stances of the exploration. However, |
found after while that my insistence
was being taken as churlishness and,
rather than be misunderstood, said
nothing more"
The name was later changed to Rio
Theodore, because Of the difficulty of
the Brazilians to pronounce Roosevelt.
Other features of the exhibit include
the official map of the River of Doubt"
letters Of Colonel Rondon, Mr. Roose-
velt's Brazilian associate in the explo-
ration of the river, and a replica of the
David Livingstone Centenary Medal,
that was awarded Mr.. Roosevelt by the
society in recognition of his South
American work. Several books bearing
on matters of geographical interest that
were written by the Colonel are on

Such was the scene at . Doyers

American Citizen Alliance held its
fourth annual dinner. It was advcr-
tised through out Chinatown and New

it was. The guest Of honor wasn't a
Chinese. He was friend Of the Chi
se-Major Philip J. McCook, who is
running for Che supreme court. But
Major McCook's candidacy didn't have
anything to do with his attending the
Ginner, and neither did the supreme
court. 1t was something else.
Back in the days when the United
States was at var Major McCook. who
was then director OF the draft in
New York, did the Chinese 81 good
turn. He helped them to stage a big
Oriental feed at Camp Upton for
Chinese soldiers at the camp before
they sailed overseas. And the Chinese
told Major McCook that they wouldn't

CATHOLIC PRIEST
 IS MUCH SHOCKED
Heads Delegation Protesting Against ImmOdeSt BatherS

Rockaway Beach, July 24.-Disgust of Rockaway Beach residents at the women bathers who disport them selves there clad in bathing costumes that leave small room for shrinkage overf1OWed yesterday and reached City Hall in the form of a delegation head ed by the Rev. Father J. M. Foran of St. Francis De Sales Roman Catholic church of Belle Harbor. Through the priest the committee of citizens, repre- Senttng inhabitants of RoCkaWay park, Belle Harhor and NeponSit, protested to Mayor Hylan that conditions due to the immodesty of feminine freQuenters were becoming unbearable.
 In the public reception room in the City Hall Father Foran told the mayor that the respectable women and chill dren of the seashore were sCandalized by women from other sections who promenaded the sands in costumes that couldn't be distinguished from those of male bathcrs. They rode z about on bicycles and in automobiles, M the pastor declared, and, not content with appearing in the residential dis tricts, boldly invaded places of wor ship in their eXiguOuS attire.
  who do not live in our section of the city" he asserted. "would justify q trial judge in sending them to prison. They invade our residential sections in mems bathing suits, go joy riding In automobiles on the boulevard while scantly clad, or even have the brazen efSrOntery to enter churches in their bathing costumes. This simply has to stop"
 Father Foran said that the beaches needed more police protection, though he did not wish it understood that Police Capt. McMahon was to blame. But he added: II have heard it said that a policeman turns his head the other way when these women are near by"
 "The policeman who thus seeks to shirk his duty by not arresting offend CTS doesn't deserve to hold his job, ' responded the mayor. T shall imme- diately get into uch with Police Com- 7. missioner Enright, and I can assure the people of Rockaway that the en- tire. peninsula will be made fit for the eyes of decent people. If the police captain we have at Rockaway cant keep 1t clean we'll send another there , who can"
 The priest was supported by scores of men belonging to the protective as sociation formed by residents to make the beach safe for decency. Thomas Farrell, a coal dealer, it's chairman, ard Thomas w. Churchill, former president of the board of educat>on, was also in the delegation of protest.
 Father Foran also com plained about the water and sewage system, and the mayor assured him that these matters would also come in for consde era tion

VETOES BILL TO
 Q. K. PTS BEER
Governor of Pennsylvania Says It Will Be Made Futile By
 Congress-.

Harrisburg, Pa, July 24.-Gov. Sprdul announced his veto of the bill designed to legalize 2.75 per cent liquors. The governor says:
 "This bill purports to be an act to enforce the Eighteenth amend ment to the constitution of the Unit ed States by prohibiting the manufac- ture, sale and transportation within the commonwealth of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes and de- fining the term intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes
 "The legislature in this bill has en- deavored to define the meaning of the words intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes by providing that they mean "all VinOuS, spirituouS, malt or brewed liquors or any admix- ture, thereof for beverage purposes 2 when they contain more than 3-4 per cent of alcohol by weight at temperature of so degrees above zero. Whether such alcoholic con- tent as that thus defined is or is not intoxicating is a question of fact, as to which there seems to be some diff ference of opinion. This bill further provides in substance that although d beverage with such an alcoholic con- tent may in fact be intoxicating it shall be considered non-intoXicating.'
 Such a provision might open a very wide door to evasions of the law. AS the legislation now rapidly passing through the federal congress fixes an alcoholic content very much less than that prescribed by this hill and as the federal law when passed will be supreme, it would be the limit of futility for this com monwealth to put upon its statute books an act which would be a dead letter as soon as the federal gov ernment shall have spoken upon the sf1btect"
