City Called Upon to
Seize Disposal Plant
Ordinance Before the Aldermen
Plans for Rapid Action to
Acquire ProDertv

Alderman William T. Collins, appar-
emily at the request of Mayor Hylan,
introduced an ordinance at the meeting
of the Board of Aldermen yesterday
providing for the exercise Of eminent
domain by tho city in seizing the plant
on Riker's Island, now owned by private
contractors, for the disposal Of ashes
and refuse from Manhattan and the
Bronx. The Democratic leader asked
ordinance as an emergency measure.
He declared that the city found itself
in the embarrassing position Of having
no available place to dispose Of the
rapidly accommodating ashes and refuse
which were rapidly becoming a menace
to public health.
He declared that Rogers & Haggerty,
who own the plant and had the con-
tract for final disposition up to March
81 last had refused to sell the plant to
the city at a reasonable price. On
objection Of Alderm Falconer, who
insisted that the matter should be re-
ferred to the Corporation Counsel for
an opinion and called attention to the
fact that Commissioner MacStay, of
the Department of Street Cleaning, was
not present to support the resolution,
it was laid over and made a general
order for the next meeting Of the board
Tuesday.
The resolution instructed the Street
Cleaning Commissioner to seize the
Riker's Island plant and provided that
in thirty days the Corporation Counsel
should apply to justice Of the Su-
preme Court to have q jury take testi-
mony and pass upon the compensation
to be paid to the owners of the prop
erty and the award be made according
ly. Alderman Collins admitted that
such an action was unprecedented by
the board.
Commissioner MacStay, following the
meeting. contradicted some Of the
statements. advanced by Alderman Col
Inns. He said that the contractors
were at present removing their plant
from the island pursuant to q demand
from the Corporation Counsel.
The city missed an opportunity to
buy the plant at reasonable figure

Stock Markets

Closed 3 Days
Failure of Operators to Put
Up Additional Margins
Is the Reason Given in
the Official Dispatches
! Money Shingency Great
Shares of Toxic Exchange
Drop From 40 to 200
Within the Last Month

: WASHINGTON, April 3o.-The Amer
lean Embassy at Toxic reported to the
State Department to-day, under date
Of last Saturday, that the principal
stock exchanges Of Japan had been
closed for three days because Of fail
ure Of operators to put up additional
margins.
Tho report added that Toxic ex-
ehanss stock, regarded as . barometer
Of general conditions, had dropped
from 47o to $50 within the last thirty
days and that there had. been some
stringcncy In the money market.
Shortage in Currency
Rumors have been widespread in
this country for several days that some
Of the large banking firms in Japan
were experiencing financial difficulties.
At the Japanese Embassy here it was
said that the government had taken
steps TO restrict loans made by banks
for speculative purposes.
The State Department gave out the
following statement late to-day, based
on information from the embassy at
Toxic:
"Ths principal market exchanges Of
, Japan have been closed for three DAYS
owing to the situation created by fail
ure of operators to put up additional
margins. Toxic Stock Exchange stock,
regarded as a barometer of general
conditions, dropped from 47O to 26o
within the last thirty days.
There has been some stringencv In
the money market there because of
: shortage of currency due to unpre-
cedented activity in promotions during
the last quarter and to adverse bal
; ance OF trade. The excess of imports

Z Baron Takahashi. Minister Of FL
nance, issued statement on April 1e
attrlbutlng the situation to public
fever for speculation. He stated that,
. although the tightening Of the money
: market, the loss of gold and the ad-
verse balance of trade are generally
pointed to as the direct causes of the
present situation, he considered them
rather the consequences of the shak-
ing up of the business world. He
counseled the public against specula-
tion,. suggested that the Japanese
people should contract their business
and new operations instead of trying
to borrow more money, and gave assur-
ance that the Bank Of Japan would
give proper help without hesitation
to concerns or banks. deserving it."
Trouble Started April 7
According to cablegrams which have
reached Washington from unofficial
but reliable financial sources in Japan
the present financial trouble began
about April I, when the stock ex-
changes at Toxic, Nagoia and Osaka
were obliged to call upon the Bank of
Japan for relief. After consde ration
bank officials decided to extend as
sistance to effect the usual monthly
balance. As a result, for time the

On April 1s tho three exchanges
were reopensd for business, but there
was such a rush Of holders Of stock
to unload that the Osaka Exchange
was forced to close the next day.
The result was that much Of the
business shifted to Toxic and Nagoia
and In short time those two ex-
changes had to close. No sign of
marked improvement has been seen,
but up to the date Of these last ad-

MADAME DE MONTESPAN.

Madame de Montespan's pretty pearls in pretty curls, and on neck and brow and swelling bosom could not cover the disgrace in which she lived from 1869 to 1875 as the mis- tress of Louis XIV. She was the wife of the Marquis de Montespan, ban ishment and the gift of 100000 crowns purchased his wife and his silence. For years this fuIl-bosomed daughter of love by her wit and beauty exer- cised despotic sway over the king and court and the people of France; till satiety and old Louis growing af- lection for Madame de Maintonon alienated the kings favors, though de Montespan had borne him many children. Said one of the Wise Men of Greece, ''In all things consider the end" But De Montespan did, not consider the end,'' a life of penitence wearing a bolt with iron points, and having meagre fare. and wearing course linen.

SECRETARY DANIELS
 AND ADMIRAL SIMS

We hold no brief for Secretary of the Navy Daniels. Perhaps Admiral Sims is telling the truth the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Nevertheless, it is well for those who are reading the attacks on the Secre- tary to keep in mind a few facts which cannot be controverted.
 Daniels incurred the everlasting enmity of all the militarists when he undertook to democratize the Ameri- can navy. When he went into office it was more difficult for an Ameri- can sailor to win a commission in the navy of the republic than it was for an English sailor to win a commis- sion in the navy of the empire Daniels gave the enlisted man a chance, and even established schools aboard ship in order that the sailors might be prepared to take the ex- aminations.
 Daniels drove booze out of the navy. When he entered the cabinet it was a serious offense for an or 'dinary sailor to take intoXicants aboard a warship, but an officer could get as drunk as a. lord and nothing was said about it. Daniels took the position that if it was a good thing to have sober sailors, it
 
 sober officers, and so he issued the famous order making the navy dry. Of course the officers were resent full.
 Daniels put an end to the graft in naval contracts, and he did it without any assistance from Admiral Sims or any other graduate of An napo1is. The Navy Deartment had called for bids on a big contract. Three American steel plants submit ted proposals which were identical to penny Daniels threw them out on the ground of collusion and called for new bids. Then he got in touch with an English firm and induced it to submit an offer. When the bids jeans were still standing together, but the Engish bid was about twen- ty-five per cent. lower than the American offer.
 The Englishmen did not get the contract, but the Amerfcan profiteers were compelled to reduce their bids to the right figures. This sort of thing was not calculated to make Daniels popular among naval con- tractors.
 We do not hold a brief for the Secretary. It is not necessary. He is one of the best enchanted fight ters in public life, and we are pre- pared to wager at least one years subscription to Labor that he will make things interesting for his ene- 1 mics before the last shot is fired in | the struggle which is staged before I the Senate t<ommittee on Naval Af- fairS-ILabOl

MILK CONSIDERED VERY IMPORTANT
 IN FOOD VALUE

The special value of milk for food is generally, but vaguely, understood. The precise reasons for its extra or dinary value, which have been dis covered by years of investigation at the Agricultural Station in New Ha- ven, are set forth in a popular illus trated bulletin (No. 215) just issued by that Station. The author is Miss Edna L. Ferry, whose untimely death is a. great loss to the Station and the community.
 The Investigations described were made by Dr. T. B. Osborne, in coop eration with Prof. L. B. Mendel of Yale University, Miss Ferry collabo- rating.
 Milk is absolutely essential for the life of infants and very young chil- dren The world has had no more pitiful tragedies in the present war than the starving to death - or 10 lifelong inefficiency-of large in fant population by depriving it of sufficient milk. It is a most desi1- able adjunct to the diet of older, rap idly-growing children. It is the main dietary reliance in cases of disorder ed digestion CT extreme illness.
 The reasons are in the following facts, all of them established by 1abo- ratory study and carefully conducted experiments in feeding.
 Milk contains an abundance of pro- tein, fat, carbohydrate and mineral nutrients. Its proteins are not only of superior value when used alone, but are especially adapted to make good the protein deficiencies of the cereals which form so large a part

ENCL AND FEARS
 AMERICAN SLANG
 IS DETRIMENTAL

England is apprehensive lest the corrupted through incursions of the American slang.
 Transatlantic tourists in England note with interest the frequency with which resort is made to .Yankee talk" by British song and play writers seeking to enliven their pro- auctions. Bands and orchestras it is said throughout the country, when playing popular music, play Ameri- can selections almost exclusively. American songs monopolize the Eng fish music hall and musical comedy stage.
 It is the subtitle of the American moving picture film which, it is feared, constitutes the most menacing threat to vaunted English purity of speech.
 'The child at the pictures is pick ing up a new language from the slangy American films,' says a critic in contribution to the London Daily News headed '"The Vulgar Tongue.''
 "tI visited two picture theatres to
  lecting slang phrases and of noticing the effect of the new language on the child as we'll as on the adult What the villain said to the hero when the latter started to argue with him was Cut out that dope,' and a hundred piping voices repeated the injunction. The comic man an nounced his marriage to the Belle of Lumbertown by saying, I'm hitched.'
 "Of course, the American child can comprehend these things much better than the British child, who is quite unfamiliar with such phrases. Imagine a child going home to moth CT and asking the meaning of fly cop.' We may admire the terseness of the phrase Forget it. but does the subtitle The Buns gone daffy' convey anything to a theatre full of cockneys?
 ''In another picture a man traf- ricked secretly with Indians, ex- changing bottles of fire water for beaver skins was sub-titled The Bootlegger.'"
