Would Advise Governments

PARIS, June 21.-The Committee on
Resolutions of the American delega-
tion to the international Congress of
Chambers of Commerce. which will
meet here from June 23 to July 1, has
decided upon the proposal Of Adjutant
General Charles II. Sheriff., of New
Y York to present to the Congress on
behalf of the American delegation a
resolution recommending that Cham
bers of Commerce offer advice and
business assistance to their national
or local governments on questions of
reduction of expenditures and per-
sonnel.
General Sheriff.. in proposing the
resolution, said that the striking phen-
omenon of the times was the growing
lack of confidence in the efficient oper-
alton of governments. He declared
that such a step as this would 90 far
toward restoring public faith in gov
ernments, something which he said
was of the highest Importance every
where to labor and capital alike.
Among the considerations that de-
cided the committee to urge the reso-
luton were the results attained during
the war when the advice of Chambers
Of Commerce was followed by the
Adjutant Generals Office in New York
in spending $4,000,000 voted by New
\ ork State for war expenses.

provided in the proposed building"
said Mr.. Arndt, "the Citizens Union
respectfully submits that the bids re-
ceived on Friday last demonstrate
very clearly that the building of the
new courthouse should not be under
taken at this time. This view is based
not primarily on the present high cost
OF materials and labor-though that is
reason enough-but chiefly upon the
fact that the construction of a huge
public building at such an outlay will
further delay the resumption of the
building of homes at a time when the
need for private housing accommoda-
tons creates a serious crisis among
the population of the city
How can it be expected that labor
and building materials, scarce and un-
certain as they are, will be devoted to
the construction Of private homes at
a cost permitting reasonable rents, if
the city persists. regardless of cost
and of the conditions Of the labor and
material markets. in erecting a great
public building at cost of many

Miles in Fifteen Days

Canoe on Manhattan After
Trip From Toronto

Preston W. Bryant beached his canoe
on the shores Of the Hudson River at
2O5th Street Sunday night and rested
after his trip of $50 miles from To-
ronton, Canada, to New York. He
brings greetings from Thomas L.
Church. Mayor Of Toronto, to Mayor
Hylan.
For ten months in each year Mr..
Bryant is a violinist. In the other two
he paddles his canoe over watery
spaces that no one has ever padded
before. Last year he crossed Lake
Ontario in his sixteen-foot cruiser type
canoe.
This year he started from Toronto
on June l and made his first stop at
Hamilton. From there he headed for
Port Dauhousie. A storm came up and
the life guards hurried out to rescue
him, but he kept on. His route from
there was through the Welland Canal
to Lake Erie and across Lake Erie to
Buffalo, down the Niagara River to
Tonawanda, through the Barge Canal
to Troy and down the Hudson to New
York
The trip took him twenty days, but
he travelled on only fifteen, averaging
a little more than forty-three miles a
day. 1t cost him $50.

Sugar Rationing Fails
To Begin on Date Set
Hotel Men Say War System
Will Be in Operation in
A Day or Two

The wartime rationing of sugar.
which, according to Armin w. Riley,
head of the Flying Squadron was to
become effective yesterday in hotels
and restaurants, failed, except in a few
instances, to materialize
AT the Office of the Hotel Mems AS
soclatlon it was said that notices had
been sent to all members. and it was
expected that the wartime ration
would become generally effective by
tomorrow or the next day.
At recent conference with repre-
'sentatives of hotel and restaurant as
sociations Mr.. Riley said drastic ac-
ton was necessary to avoid sugar
famine. The hotel and restaurant
men promised to do all in their power
to conserve the supply and agreed upon
June 81 as the day upon when ration
ing would begin.
Mr.. Riley was not in town yester-
day, but at his Office it was said that
the wholesale sugar dealers also would
collaboratc by allotting only so much
sugar to each purchaser.
The rationing will continue until
fall, when the next Cuban sugar crop
arrives, and is expected to save mill
ions of dollars worth of food stutf5
by guaranteeing to Gamers enough
sugar to preserve perishable eatables.

Early Arrival of District

cant; New Clew Seen in
ROwbOat and Auto Track

EASTHAMPTON, L. l., June 21.-
Leroy M Young, District Attorney of
Suffolk County, will be here early to-
morrow in readiness for the second
session of the John Doe inquiry into
the theft Of 100000 worth of Jewels
from the summer home of Enrico Ca
ruso. AS the hearing will not take
place until Wednesday, the early ar
rival of the District Attorney led to
the belief that some important devel-
opment may be expected tomorrow.
This was strengthened by the fact
that detectives from two of the aeen-
cles at work on the case left hurriedly
Tor New York to follow leads devel-
oped during the day. One develon-
ment was the discovery of an unidenti-
ned rowboat on Seabury Beach. q mar
row spit of land that separates Lake
Georglca from the sea. Tracks of an
automobile were found near this place
where the boat was beached.
Mrs. Caruso authorized the state
ment that she would not spare any ex-
pense in running down the thieves.
She declared that, personally, she had
no susplclons and was relying entirely
upon the work Of the authorities. Fitz-
gerald, the chauffeur, is back at his
duties.
The impression about the village is
that an arrest may be made at any
moment.
The discovery Of the abandoned boat
was made by W; c. Morford, chief of
police of this village. Two other boats
were lying alongside it. but these wo,a
quickly identified as belonging to bows
who set traps for cells.
Detectives have been unable to de-
termlne the exact reason for the tracks
made by a woman leading to the lake
side. The coast guard patrol at ANA
gansett is positive that no motor craft
has sailed around Montauk Point to
the Connecticut shore within the last
few weeks.
The latest private detective arrivals
under Di Martini and Captain William
A. Jones were busy all day inter
rogating the Caruso servants. The cx-
animation did not develop anything

Curfew for Men Urged
To Make Women Safe
Sunrise Club Speaker Has Plan
to Preserve Morality of
Feminine Workers

Miss Amy Wren, an attorney, told
members of the Sunrise Club at their
dinner in the Cafe Boulevard last
night that the alleged immortality of
letting women work at night could be
remedied by passing legislation making
1t illegal for men to be out after s
p. m.
Il am tired of being called unhealthy
and immoral" said Miss Wren, after
insisting that women were better able
to stand up under night work than
men. Il deny the assertion that work
ing women are immoral. Are we 60
ing to let our fathers, sons and
brothers on the streets after O'Clock
at night?
Let us pass a law prohibiting men
from being out after o'clock at night
and thus make theworld safe for work
ing women"
Another speaker said that it was
mere man that kept women from work
ing at night by reactlonary legislation.
"As long as men are in power" said
she, they will continue to make damn
fool laws"

SYSTEM AND SAMENESS

THE beauties of conformity-dis.

IN the plan of standardizing hotels. to
be launched at a meeting of hostelry
proprietors in Colorado Springs next
month. The factors which in combina.
ton constitute a good hotel are 10 be
oficially defined. Rates are to be, sys.
tematized. Steps will be taken to pre-
vent Sfiretrap rooming houses from
masquerading as hotels.
Regulation will triumph. of course
Contemporary tendency is all that way
The result Is often excellent. There are
more first class hotels in the United
States than in any other country on
earth and many more here today than
there were a decade ago.
But the old flip of surprise is hardly
TO be captured by the most resourC eful
traveller. Contrasts are effaced. II there
are fewer bonifaces who charge ex.
brilliantly for wretched bed and board
there are certainly fewer who thrill the
patron with unexpectedly enticing food
and accommodations instinct with origi :
nal charm.
Menus are wholesome-and infexlble.
Perhaps the time is coming when they
will be identical throughout the land.
Progress cannot be downed. Security
must prevail, There is little escape
anywhere-not merely in hotels-from
organized efficient protection.
To complain that the age is dull is
70 rebel from its governing spirit. None
but an old fogy can be so shameless
as, to confess to boredom.
