fdavits filed yesterday in the Supreme

ton, and in these Mrs. Hinckley and

grown tired OF Parision life and wants

country. She announces her intention

ing permanently with her son Mrs

living temporarily at the Hotel Lorraine
in this city.
Justice Ford sympathized with the de-
slres OF the boy. remarking that he him

Mills, Archibald Rogers and others, JUS
tice Ford also permitted the withdrawal
of $4,000 from the accumulated income
OF the Hinckley estate to defray expenses
OF the boys trip, in company with his
mother and grandmother, from Paris.
This will also cover part of the expendi-
lures incident to an operation performed
on the boy before he left Paris and for

HURLEY APPROVES
PORT ENLARGEMENT
Tells Hubert Better Facilities
Are Greatest Need.

Edward N. Hurley, chairman OF the
United States Shipping Board, is en-
thusiastic about the harbor improve
ments to be made at Staten Island,
where the city Is to construct fourteen
new piers. In a letter to Murray HUI
bert, Commissioner Of Docks, yesterday
he spoke of the Importance OF the gain
In speed that can thus be accomplished
in handling ships at this port A quick
turn around" at the end OF the voy-
age is the chief objective of the ship
owners now, he said.
I'm planning for the future your city
has acted very wisely" he wrote. Be
fore the war the average cargo ship
was only at rea about 60 per cent. of
the time, the other 40 per cent. being
spent in harbors and docks. The reasons
for this great loss Of time were the poor
docking, bunkering and repair facilities.
The day for such conditions in our ports
has passed
with the present high cost Of ton
mage our vessels must be kept at sea,
and much greater mileage must be
got out of them II they are to pay.
II the delays to ships caused by our
port facilities could be reduced to 20
per cent. the owners of the vessels
could more than pay substantial re-
turn on the present high cost of tonnage.
THE great port OF the future will be
that port which recognizes the vast pee
sibilities of shipping, and I am very glad
indeed that New York is alive to the sit
uation and is going to keep abreast of
the time, just as other ports through
out the country that are trying to i'm
prove their port facilities are doing.
ut is important that all our ports
be expanded and developed in order that
our ships as well as the ships of for
eign nations may enter them quickly,
unload and reload, all with the most
modern devices"

knowledged that it was because the de-
PENDANT was so we'll known there as a

parties live in Manhattan. belong In
