The Rubicon Is Crossed.
That is final. Once the people
of the Duke City make up their
minds that something is to be done
for the greater glory of the COM
munity. 1t is going to be done.
Touchstone said that there Is
much virtue in an "if' but that Is
not Albuquerque's philosophy.
1t thinks in the indicative mode
mot in the subjunctive
When we saw those $1,000,
$4,000, $1,000 and $500 subscrip-
tions coming in, we knew that the
hotel was as real thing as If it
already were a structure of con-
crete and marble and terra Gotta.
II thoughts are things, then as
suredly the vision and the promises
and the pledges of our chief citi-
zens are likewise things-things as
tangible and real as the handiwork
of bricklayers and carpenters.
The Big Little Men.
But even more impressive than
these pledges of thousands of dol
lars for the naturalization of an
idea, were the small investments by
school teachers. preachers ana
other small -salaried folk.
When the great middle class in
America speaks, no human power
dares say it nay. 1t was this,middle
class that won the war; it is this
same middle class that will win the
victories of peace.
The cornerstone has been laid.
How speedily the superstructure
will be built depends on you and
me and the man who is watching
how much you and ! are going to
give before doing what he knows
is his share in this common en-
teprise of ours.
The CIear-Cut Question.
The crucial question with most
of us is simply this:
"Do you believe in Albuquerque
future enough to invest your spare
money in it?"
If So

attack, dispatches to the state de-

The dispatches were based on
statements ELECTED from the ac-
cused sentry by the japanese board
of investigation and court of in
quiry. The sentrys statements
were described as agreeing with the
ante-mortem story by Lieutenant
Langdon in that the sentry was the
first to fire. The sentry, who pre-
viously had maintained that the
American officer fired first. also
was reported as having told the
court of inquiry that he had dis
charged his rifle by accident.

Leaders Count Noses and
Announce That the Meas
ure As Reported Will Be
Voted Down DeCiSively.
FIVE HOURS DEBATE
SCHEDULED FOR TODAY
Members From States Which
Stand to Lose RepreSen-
tation Oppose Plan and
Make Plea for Economy.

Washington, Jan. IT. -
Lines were sharply drawn
tonight for a fight tomorrow
to defeat the reapportion-
ment bill, which would in
crease the membership OF
the house from 435 to 483.
After a final checking up,
leaders announced that the
measure as reported would
be voted down decisively
and that a sub plan, holding
seats as now, would be
adopted by a big majority.
There seems little senti-
ment for a larger house.
Members from states which
would lose representation
under the shifting of twelve
seats from eleven to eight
states, declared they would
vote against adding 48 rep
resentatives at a cost of ST.
100000 a year when there
is a demand for govern.
mental economy.
AS mapped out today, the pro
gram under which the bill we b
called up tomorrow, provides TO
five hours debate.
The republican steering commit
tee was reported solidly agains
the increase, as individuals.
Under provisions Of the bill
house leaders expect to be adopte
the increases will be as follows:
California, g. Michigan. 2; Ohic
IL, and Connecticut, New jersey
North Carolina, Texas and Wash
ington, each. To make up thl
number without changing the 43i
total, Missouri would lose tw
seats, and the following states on
each; Indiana, Iowa. Kansas
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mis-
sissippi, Nebraska, Rhode Islam
and Vermont.
BY this arrangement the sout
would gain in North Carolina an
Texas, and lose in Louisiana an
Mississippi.

Sheriff Smith obediently withdrew it,
wadded up the tenuous strip and
parked it neatly under the rail
You don't have much respect for the
court, do your" was Justice Cropsey's
next startling query.
"Why, yes," said the Sheriff. appar-
emily considering the matter, Eyes, I
do"
well you had better show it," said
Justice Cropsey, and went at the matter
of the missing talesman.
Sheriff Smith said he'd heard his
deputies talking about it, and thought
one of them had said the man had left
the county. He thought probably it
was Deputy Sheriff Green. Deputy
Sheriff Green said nothing, but Deputy
Sheriff Thorne chimed in and said that
there was John G. Wagner sr. and a
John G.. Wagner .jr., and probably only
one of them had left the county.
Instead of being soothed by this flood
of information he had released by the
ungumming of the Sheriff, Justice
Cropsey complained that it was impos-
sible to get any definite information in
Nassau County, and ordered Sherig
Smith to have John C. Wagner in court
Monday or he'd find out the reason why.
(Which Wagner, your honor?" asked
Sheriff Smith in hurt tones.
This one" snapped Justice Cropsey,
pointing at the name on the jury list.
Sheriff Smith was SO overcome that
he forgot to recover his gum as he
yielded place to the ex-Sheriff of
Queens, who pleaded not guilty and
asked permission to inspect the grand
jury minutes.

City Officials Scan
Port Development
On Staten Island
Mayor Explains Project to
Ease Freight Congestion;
Promises to Proceed ON
Construction of Tunnels

Mayor Hylan. members of the Board
of Estimate, other city officers and
railroad officials made up a large party
Yesterday which, under the leadership
OF, Dock Commissioner Murray Hubert,
inspected the$12 100000 piers which the
city is constructing at Stapleton,
Staten Island. The proposed general
development of port facilities in con-
nection with the new piers was out
lined and discussed by the Dock Com
missioner and the Mayor. The party
went to Staten Island on Dock De-
partment tug.
Mavor Hylan declared that if the en-
tire project was carried out 1t wo o.!
solve the New York Central-West Side
problem. With the construction Of the
two freight tunnels under the bay from
South Brooklyn to Staten Island, it is
proposed to get rid of the New York
Central tracks on the West Side and
bring that railroad in on the East Side
of the city with a connection with the
new tunnels.
The whole Staten Island development,
with the new city piers as nucleus, II
carried out, would cost about $780,
100000 according to the estimates OF
engineers. The tentative plans for the
Staten Island tunnels call for shafts
at the north and south ends of the new
pier area. An enabling act was passed
by the last Legislature, but provided
that work should be begun within two
years Mayor Hylan said yesterday
that the city would proceed with the
construction of the tunnels "as rapidly
as consistent with business policy"
The Mayor said that one of the chief
benefits which would result from the
whole proposition would be the divert
ing of practically all through freight
traffic from Manhattan Island, thereby
relieving traffic congestion. The New
York Central would have q connection
with the Staten Island tunnels and
terminal from the East Side, which
would do away with the West Side
track problem, he explained. The Long
Island Railroad would find freight
connection with the proposed terminal
development through the Jamaica Bay
improvement.
