Revenue From Game Licenses

made through the year, which rebates
however, are forfeited if they use non-
conference vessels in their trade even
with American ports. Several steam
ship conferences reported concrete in
stances of this kind and these received
the definite attention of the Shipping
Board"
The report states that in twelve
months the board authorized the trans
fer to foreign registry of 401 American
craft of 202,283 gross tons. Because Of
the unusual activity in the oil trade in
Mexico the board authorized the trans
fer Of 113 vessels, mostly barges and
small ships, to Mexican registry.
Important steps for the development
of American shipping in Europe and
elsewhere have been taken, according
to the report, through the establish
ment of additional bunkering stations
and shipping agencies. The total Of
these agencies at the end of the year
was seventy-four.
Most Of the figures on foreign trade
given in the report have been super
seded by more recent statements from
the board.

Cussie Human, youngest woman
ever indicted for murder in Queens,
will go to trial in Long Island City to-
day for alleged completely in the mur-
der of Harry Dewey Garbe, her former
fance, who was shot on October 27.
Indicted with Miss Human and
charged with having fred the shot that

79th's Old Commander,
Home After Verdun Trip

Major General w. J. Nicholson, u. S.
A. (retired), who went abroad seven
months ago to visit his daughter and
go over the terrain near Verdun, where
he commanded the 10th Division, A. E.
F., returned yesterday on the White
Star liner Baltic from Liverpool.
After leaving France General Mich
olson went into Czecho-S -Slovakia, where
he was much impressed by the physical
training of the people generally. Men
and women of the land that waS once
called Bohemia, he said, took keen
interest in the public system of gym
nastics and its effect was apparent in
their robust physical appearance. The
general said he saw some splendid
tennis played in Prague and in the
same city observed one Of the fastest
football games he had ever seen.
On his return nome General Nichol-
son and his wife visited their daugh-
ter, who is the wife of Major G. e.
Creane, of the British army, whose
home is in the suburbs Of Liverpool.
Another traveller on the Baltic was

proportion of the tonnage of New York
through the heart of New JERSEYS

ene disastrous sidetracking of the Bor-
ough OF Richmond; in a word. 1t nro-
poses to perpetuate flow of traffic

the same time cut off Staten Island
from direct contact with it's sister
boroughs.
Ihat part of the plan which pro-
'vides for transferring freight from the
barge canal to the trunk line railroads
at Flermont can only be construed as
an attempt to divert business from the
City of New York.
Financial Objections offered
The Port Authority has given no
estimate as to the cost of the facilities q
they propose. We challenge the Port
authority to produce the figures Of
cost OF construction and operation. 1t
Is pertinent to ask where do they ex-
pect to get the money to finance the
scheme, for they havn't any of their
own. Are they to raise it on pros
pectusy Whatever their plan may be
for securing funds, we do not intend
tnat they shall involve the City Of New
YORK in any proposition to deliver the
Fort of New York into the hands of
New Jersey and make the taxpayers of
THIS city pay for each step OF the way.
"The City of New York is opposed
to the plan of the Port Authority be-
cause it would be handicap to the
plan now under consideration by the
city. Not only is there no room for
two plans, but the various features of
the Port Authority plan are challenged
IN comparison with the far less costly
project which was outlined by the com
mittee Of the Board of Estimate in it's
report to the board of October Is, 1921.
We feel that the Narrows tunnel pro-
posed by the city will solve the prob
lem of inter-connection between the
railroads of New Jersey and greater
New York better and at far less cost
than the plan of the Port Authority.
AS provided in the act which auth
orized the building of the Narrows tun-
mel, the project must be self-support
ing in order that it may not be a
burden on the taxpayers or on the
city's debt limit
Municipal Plan Preferred
"In compliance with the terms of the
act the city mas provided for the
passage of a stream of life giving
railroad traffic through the entire
length of Staten Island and thence
under the bay to the Brooklyn water
front and connect with the railways
that serve Long Island beyond, by
means of tunnels which aggregate only
one-third the length Of those proposed
by the predecessor of the Port Author
lty. The plans, profles and estimates
of cost of construction and operation
have all been made public by the city
in way that has been denied in the
case of the Port Authority plan.
"The cit. $ plan calls for the con-
struction of underwater tunnels of
very much shorter length than that
proposed by the Port Authority; places
Richmond, including the $4,000, 900
city piers at Stapleton, on the through
lines of traffic of eight trunk lines, and
all on demonstrated basis of self
support coupled with seat saving of
time and money for shippers and the
community at large

Equity Shop Policy Gains

effect on September / last, is now 100
per cent effective in ali productions
which it is possible for the association
to reach. Mr.. Emerson made this
statement at the second quarterly
meeting, which was held at the Hotel
Commodore.
Only two productions, Mr.. Emerson
pointed out, had attempted to do busi-
ness with non-Equity casts this season
in New York, and they mao been fail
ures. He also declared that A. H.
Woods, by his recent resignation from
the Producing Managers Association,
automatically brought himself within
the provisions of the Equity Shop.
The Producing Managers Association,
through an agreement with the Actors
Equity Association, is not affected by
the Equity Shop policy, and this agree
ment holds good until 1924.
During the last twelve months 1000
new members have Joined the organi-

"LEATHER FRINGE" NO JOKE
White Kid New and Interesting Trim
ming Used on Satin and
Crepe Frocks.

White kid is one Of the new and in
teresting trimmings used on black
satin and crepe frocks. A black frock
has white kid applied in the form Of
fringe. Twelve rows, each about an
inch and half deep, finish the bot
tom of the skirt, two rows appearing
on each sleeve and as border for the
round cape collar.
This collar, by the way, sometimes
reaching almost to the waistline, is
shown on quite number of the early
fall frocks. Naturally slender fig
ure is required if the collar or cape
is to be becoming, and regardless of
the fact that statisticiaIfs have pro-
duced figures to prove that about As
per cent Of the total female popula-
ton should be listed in the stout
class, straight, slender, youthful fig
ures are seen in abundant numbers.
The frock fastens in the back and
is finished at the waistline with a
folded white kid belt, which is caught
together at the back with an orna-
mental buckle.
