Fireman Thomas Faugnan, Of Hook
and Ladder Company rs. drove the
truck across the sidewalk of Amster-
dam Avenue near Sixty sixth Street
last night into brick wall to avoid a
collision with a taxicab. The impact
hurled him hcadforemost over the
steering wheel and he was severely
cut and bruised. Thomas Cuniffe, who
was thrown from the running board,
suffered injuries which sent him to
Roosevelt Hospital. Faugnan also was
taken there. Lieutenant Patrick Cos
tigan's knees were lacerated and he
was sent back to quarters.
The truck was speeding to three

Hubert Says Test
Proves Economy
OF Barge Canal
First All-Watcr Shipment,
Buffalo to Jamaica Bay,
Effects Saving of $3.50
a Ton, With Slight Delay

Murray Hubert, Mayor Hylan's
Commissioner of Docks, in a statement
issued from his Office to-day, expressed
himself as pleased with the saving of
money accomplished by the first all
water shipment from Buffalo to Mill
Basin, Jamaica Bay, of two barge loads
of reinforcing steel bars for use in the
construction of municipal dock at
the foot of Fatbush avenue.
The shipment of the bars by way Of
the barge canal not only saved $3.50
q ton in freight charges" said the state
ment, but demonstrated that shipm en- Is
may be made by water in comparatively
fast time.
"The rail time from Buffalo to Brook
lyn," the statement says, ais based
upon thirty-six hour run. Advocates
of water shipment declare that it aver
ages about five days.
"This particular shipment left Buff
falo on September %, was halted at
Pier 6, in the North River, while an
other shipment was unloaded from the
barges, which occupied two days, and
reached its destination at Mill Basin
at 7 q. M, October s. This is con-
sidered very good time. The G. B.
Spearing, inc, to whom the shipment
was consigned, discussing the time
made and saving in money effected,
dwelt largely on the financial aspect
Of the transportation, calling attention
to the $3.50 saved on each ton and
also to the rail freight rate on The
same material from Pittsburgh of 38
cents a hundred pounds.
"The commission was especially
gratied with the lesson carried in this
first real test of sportation via
the state barge canal, and declared it
forecast big volume Of business for
the states water highways. 1t demon
,tratcs, too, he said, that upstate pro-
ducers ought to use the barge canal
whenever possible. 1t means pros

cost Of living for the consumers"

McCunlber Assails
Free Tolls Measure
AS 'Dishonorable'
Declares Nation Must Keep
Its Word and Not Scrap
Hay Pauncefotc Treaty;
Vote on Bill Tomorrow

WASHINGTON. Oct. s.-The Panama
Canal free tolls bill, set for vote in
the Senate Monday under an agreeme MT
made several weeks ago, was brought
up for debate again to-day, setting
aside the tax bill temporarily.
Another Republican, Senator Nc
Cumber, of North Dakota, Foreign Re-
lations Committee member, to-day came
out in opposition to the Borah bill,
which would exempt American coast
wise vessels from canal tolls He de-
clared that the Hay Pauncefote treaty
did not give America the right to ex-
empt coastwise vessels from tolls. and
asserted that such a declaration by
Congress would be "dishonorable."
Referring to the free tolls plank of
the Republican national platform. Sen
ator McCumber said it made little diff
ference if national honor forbids fol-
lowing the course pointed out"
1--WE are asked to declare that the
Hay Pauncefote treaty shall be treated
as scrap of paper" said Senator Nc
Cumber. predicting that, under the gem
eral arbitration treaty with Great Brit
ain, that nation would insist upon ar
bitration of the tolls question should
Congress enact the Borah bill.
II do not believe The Hague tribunal
would be swayed by national interest
where question of construction of q
treaty was before that tribunal, and
that tribunal is where it is bound to go
ii we insist on breaking the Hay
Pauncefote treaty." said Senator Nc
Cumber.
Our duty is a simple one. Keep our
word. We have invited the other great
nations to join US in a solemn compact
to check the mad and exhausting race
of the nations for naval supremacy.
Let US not enter the council chamber
with soled hands"
lana, spoke in support of the bin. en-
phasizing that both Republican and
Democratic parties had declared for
the principle.
1T is merely one of business judg-
ment," said Senator Ransdell, denying
that any moral consideration was in
volved. There are no tolls on our
improved harbors and lakes and rivers
and great national highways. and the
Panama Canal should be treated the
same. Free roadways on land and sea
are not subsidies.
Coastwise traffic through the canal,
Senator Ransdell contended, is purely
domestic function and question. The
great majority of Senators who sup
ported the Hay-Paunce ote treaty, he
declared, did so with the understand
ing that t preserved the right OF the
United ST; tes to regulate its domest
ships using the canal.

ing girl who shopped so assiduously
embarked upon her expeditions with
the sole purpose of helping herself to
whatever valuable articles pleased her
educated taste and were easily to be
stolen.
In her room on Riverside Drive were
found more than $1,000 worth of ar
ticles which were claimed by several
department stores. 1t was in a Broad
way store, after trailing Miss Boring
through several others, that the detec-
tives accosted and searched her. Stolen
articles were found in her handbag and
she was locked up.
Before imposing sentence, Justices
Moss, Herbert and Freschi instructed
Probation Officer Grace Mangin to in
vestigate the case. Miss Mangin found
investigation difficult. The prisoner
preferred to conceal most of her past,
and her intelligence enabled her to do
so despite the efforts of the probation
officer.

situation should require it.
Okuma's position in the matter is
set forth in statement recently Is
sued by him at Toxic.
The time has come at last" said
Okuma, when the Japanese people
should now rise to protect their rights
and interests.
Powers Are Justified.
In proposing the Pacific convention
the United States wants, no doubt, 10
bring about a settlement OF what the
league of nations failed to solve. The
five great powers are quite justified
in participating in the proposed con
ference because of their vital interest
in the questions of armament restric
ton and in the far east.
1T is not quite comprehensive
however, that the United States should
have proposed to extend the invitation
to the Chinese republic when the latter
is still in so disorderly a condition
that nobody is competent enough tc
represent the republic.
THE most probable fact is that
having failed TO put as much restrlc
ton on the Japanese position and &C
tivity in the far east as she desired a
the Versailles conference, the United
States has sought different oppor
tunity in the form of the Pacific con
ference.
Would Restrict Japan.
THE future center of the world
markets and wealth lies in China ant
Siberia. 1t is only too natural TO
America, therefore, to want 10 restrlc
the activity of the Japanese who pos
sess intimate relations with the aboV'
quarters and who occupy superior pc
sitions there.
The proposed conference, in thi
and many other senses, is a convention
TO which greater importance attacne
in the Japanese estimation than to tn
Paris conference.
The Japanese must be prepared I
reject whatever problems that may b
made at the conference in disregar
of rights and interests of the peopl
in the orient. If Japan's protests Q
claims should be ignored, she Shout
quit the convention"
In conclusion he suggested the ac
visibility of creating new ministr
in order to give the right candidate
an opportunity to attend the confer
ence.
1T is quite clear that America vii
assist China in the cancellation OF IN
81 demands" he asserted, and thl
will fetter Japanese activity IN the ia
east. 1t is this sense, indeed, that IN
fate of the Japanese empire must b
regarded as depending entirely on tn
results of the Pacific convention.
