sion of the Brooklyn-nichmond tun-
mel project, pointing out that the
Board OF Estimate nae no alternative
but to build the tunnc., pursuant to
the Legislative enactment.
After describing the features Of the
city's plan as rec ommended by the
special committee of the Board of Esti-
mate, of which he is the head, Mr..
Tuttle said that while the engineering
features of the project have escaped
adverse criticism, "the report has been
bitterly assailed in several quarters as
representing an invasion of field as
signed to the Port Authority, the only
answer to which is that, under the
provisions of the legislative act, the
Board of Estimate was given no option
as to procedure, but WAS enjoined to
undertake the very work which has
been done, and that if criticism of
this character is justified it follows
that the Port Authority, which derived
its power from the same source, has
likewise invaded the field of the Board
Of Estimate.
"The Port Authority has apparently
discarded the recommendation Of its
predecessors 20 the effect that the first
step in the Improvement of the port
facilities should consist Of the con-
struction of the automatic electric sys-
tenn to serve the Manhattan CONNER
ciaI center and has adopted the basic
features of the Narrows tunnel project
by the substitution of a tunnel from
Long Is and as the prime necessity,
but in the selection of Greenville (New
Jersey as the western terminal and
in its projected use of existing lines
tor trunk interchange the Port
Authority plan carries features which
appear so prejudicial to the interests
Of the entire port in general and to
Staten Island in particular that they
should Be given serious consideration. !"
Mr.. Tuttle then pointed out the
necessity, in his opinion, of a broader
development of the Staten Island pier
and railroad facilities and declared
that it has been rumored within the
last few days that Gin order to over
come the protest set up by the Staten
Island interests against it's plan the
Port Authority proposes to amend it
before submission to the Legislature
on January I, 1922, as it is required
to do, by providing for connection
from the belt line in New Jersey to
Staten Island by line crossing Arthur
Kill at Tremley Point, it being init
mated that this would provide a suit
able connection with the proposed CITY
tunnel across the Narrows."
Mr.. Wilgus charged that the press of
the city for many weeks had opened it's
columns to cone sided propaganda" in
behalf of the Port authority plan. He
declared that, as far as he had observed,
the press had not made sthe slightes.
effort to lay before their readers the
other side of the case from the city's
viewpoint, in consonance with what we
were once pleased to call American
tair-play." Mr.. Wilgus urged the en-
glneers to give as much publicity to
the city's plan as possible. He dis
cussed the various criticisms directed
at the city plan and attempted to re-
fute them.
Mr.. Sullivan outlined the advantages
claimed for the city's plan and what it
proposed to accomplish. Mr. Snow dis
cussed the engineering features Of the
proposed oklyn-Staten Island tunnel.

Darwinian Origin of Species
Theory Assailed by Scientist

TORONTO, Dec. 2S.- Professor Will
liam Bateson, world. famous English
biologist. tonight threw bombshell
into the convention of the American
Association for the Advancement of
Sciance by declaring that it was impos-
sible for scientists any longer to agree
with Charles Darwin's theory of the
origin of species.
He declared that while forty years
ago the Darwinian theory was accepted
without question to-day scientists had
come toa point where they were unable
to offer any explanation of the genesis
of species.
Professor Bateson admitted that his
words marked him down as an agnos-
tic, but contended there was nothing
left for the scientist of to-day but
agnosticism, or, g. he called it, cob
scurantism." He said, however, that
the doubt of Darwin's correctness ex-
tended only to the great scientist IS
theory OF genesis and by no means
included that concerning the general
truth of the principle of evolution.
He declared that obscurantism s

new AND LARGER BOATS IN SERVICE

Ferry service between Edgewater
and One Hundred and Thirtieth street,
New York, is to be greatly improved

Rivers de and Fort Lee Ferry Com
pany
Two new boats, larger than any of
the four now in service, will be pur-
