LEGIONAIREs EXEMPLARY
 IN CONVENTION CITY

Kans.s City, Nov. 3.-The American Legion visitors have for the most mart gone home, the confetti has been swept from the streets. and Kansas City after three days of entertaining is back to normal.
 In statement issued today. John E. Wilson. commissioner of the police de- partment, said that department desired to correct an impression that the Le- gionaires had been responsible for disor- der and boisterous conduct.
 There was a good deal of shouting. lot of singing and very larger crowds, Commissioner Wilson declared. There were very few cases of actual disorderly conduct, however. and in almost every instance when such cases were investi- gated. 1t was found that The man re- sponsible was not Legionaire, but some local rowdy. These nan took advan- tage of the great crowds to disguise themselves as former soldiers in an ef- fort to prey upon the visitors. We found the real veterans were the first to helr the police deal with these cases effect. ively."

 STUDYING COST OF LIVING

New York, Nov. s-Magnus W. Al exander. managing director of the Ma tional Industrial Conference Board, in an address before the Industrial Rela- tions association. today said that on July 1, 1921. railroad employees were 57 per cent better of in respect to the purchas- ing powev of their wages than they were in 1914
 Discussing the determination of wage rates, Mir. Alexander said that taking Into consideration the recent 12 per cent. wage cut, rail employees were today about 20 per cent better off than before the European war. This condition, he added, was contingent on wages remain ing for some time at present levels while the cost of living continued to decline. N. c. Rorty. an official of the Ameri- can Telephone and Telegraph Company, declared that statistics on the profits of going concerns were highly misleading" and must be studied over long periods of time before they could De taken as prom ises on which to base wage adjustments 'sThe corporation, like the man, could not count the earnings of it's robust years as clear profit,'' he said. .It l equally with man, must make provision

PLAN EXTENSION OF MANHATTAN ISLAND

New York, Nov. 5.-New Workers who eften pretend to be indifferent to the eftys wonders have had their imagina- tion stirred by the daring plan, recently announced. to extend Manhattan Island stx mics down the bay by building man. moth sea walls from both sides of the Battery and hE4ng in the intervening space with earth
 A company has been incorporated to carry out the project and T. Kennard Thompson, a prominent engineer of the city, has prepared the detailed plans. The Broadway Association, composed of merchants along the famous thor oughfare, has endorsed the idea.
 If the plan is ever carried out, it's proponents say that six square miles would be tackled on the most valuable piece of land on earth. that 12 miles of needed docks would be added to the ports facilities; that transit would be Erealy improved and that the tax on

sIK ROBERT BORDEN TALKS
 ON LIMITATION OF ARMAMENT

New York, Nov. 5.-No greater exam pie of what can be done in limiting arm anent can be laid before the Washing ton conference than the common his tory of the United States and Canada, tonight declared Sir Robert Borden, who win Iepresena the Dominion at the com nE international barley.
 Sir Robert stressed this point in ad- dressing directors of the Sulgrave Insti- ute at the home of one of their num- Der. Robert Fulton Cutting, New York hnancier. Earlier in the day, at lunch con at the Lawyers club, he had eupha- sized the responsibility which rested on the United States and the British Elm pire in preserving the peace of the world.
 There are no two nations in the world under separate systems of government that are so closely united socially, com mercially znd politically as the people of Canada aHl the United States" asserted the former Canadian premiertin tonight's speech.
 There are no two nations with thous- ands of miles of boundary so unguard- cd no nations bordering on great inland seas whose waters are so untroubled by armed navies.
 Tt Is almost commonplace to speak of the disarmament agreement of 1877, but It is already timely to recall the fulfill ment of She promise that 1t bore.
 The treaty that established the inter national joint commission of ten years ago was almost as notable In It's char acter and far reaching in its effects as the agreement of 1S1S It expressed the cardinal and controlling principle Of de- termining international questions by arbi- trament of a permanent tribunal.
 At the conference in Washington we can point to no prouder events than these in our common history. They carry a moral and a lesson that the statesmen there axsembled may well bepr in mind and take to heart.
 Upon the boundary from Atlantic to Pacific, the two nations laid down their arms more than a hundred years ago The weapons then discarded have never been resumed
 Observe the pride of the two peoples in their preparation for peace and their unpreparedness for war upon each other Consider the hundreds, yes, thousands of millions that might hae been squandered on bristling fortifcations. on navies. or ornaments. along that vast boundary Bear in mind the suspicious that migh' have been engendered the hostile spirit that might have arisen from the mere ex istence of such warlike preparations.
 May we not in this retrospect fnt good omen of what may be accomplished at the treat conference that your pres idert has summoned. and high hone tha z,ad tidirgs of disarmament and of peace nay be borne 10 a weary waiting korld?

all real estate might be reduced one per cent.
 The plan has already been outlined to the war department, MT. Thompson says, and no objections have been raised since the proposed built-up extension would still leave on either side of the island the same clearance for naviga- tion that now exists on the Hudson and East river sides
 The work could be completed in five years, in MT. Thompson's belief. It is well know, fact he said, "that the business center of Manhattan is rapid ly moving away from City Hall and if il is not prevented the lower end of the island will again become a residential district, with the result of tremendous decrease in values.
 The only way to remedy this, he add ed. was to make city hall the geographi' cal center ty extending Broadway some six milAs Gown the bay.

Davenport Girl Is Held For Trial On
 Charge Of Fraud

Miss Matte Davenport, charged Oy Sam L. Prodanovich with obtaining wearing apparel and iewelry under terday by Judge Craig in the local justice court for trial on the charge in the superior court after a motion by counsel for the defense to dismiss the case had been denied.
 The preliminary hearing of Miss Davenport in the justice court was heard on an amended complaint after the first complaint had been demur- red to. The charge Of misrepresenta- tion is based on the alleged fact that Miss Davenport agreed to marry Pro danoich at time. when, under the laws of Arizona, she could not marry him. as she had been divorced from her former husband, Buran Pruitt on ly since March IS, 1920, or less than the year required under the law be fore she could marry again
 The only point remaining for the justice court to settle is the posses sion of the goods that Prodanoyich alleges that he gave to Miss Daven- port, at present in the possession of of the justice court Opposing counsel will argue this point al 1 o'clock this afternoon. Alexander Murry. scounsel for Miss Davenport, contends that the search warrant on which the goods were seized is faulty and ille- gally drawn and that the property should remain in the possession Of Miss Davenport until Prodanovich is able to establish his claim in court.
