SOME FOR A BRIDGE HERE

WASHINGTON. Aug. 81. - Bids OF
s2,100 each for 205 wooden vessels
submitted by the Construction and
Trading Corporation of New York
have been accepted by the Shipping
Board, it was announced officially to-
night.
A contract between the corporation
and the Shipping Board drawn up by
Commissioner Edward c. Plummer
will be approved by the board Tues
day if the purchaser completes the
required bond.
Under its terms, the board will receive
f5 per cent. Of the total sale price OF
S430,500 in cash and a pro rata portion
of the remainder upon delivery OF each
vessel.
Mr.. Plummer said tonight the board
had devoted great deal or time to the
study Of the bids, in view of the ter
ribly low prices which were offered" but
considered that the best thing in the
circumstances would be to accept the
offered price for part of the feet. The
vessels cost the board from 100000 to
100000 each.
AS to the vessels retained, Commits
sioner Plummer explained, the Shipping
Board was considering the possibility Of
their utilization as pontoons for the pro-
posed bridge across the Hudson at New
York city.
Answering some objections by steam-
boat companies and others to the pro-
posed pontoon bridge across the Hudson
River at Yonkers George A. Post. presi-
dent of the Hudson River Bridge and
Terminal Association, said yesterday
THE projectors of the bridge are as
anxious as any one to keep the river
free for traffic. The draw or draws will
OF course be made adequate for all needs.
II a 100 foot draw should upon consul
tation and careful study be regarded
as insufficient the definite plans can
provide for a much wider space. IL ad-
ditional crossing facilities are needed,
and nobody seriously denies this. there
must be a suppression of real or sup
posed special privilege. and the old must
give the new a fair chance.
"Exaggeration, ridicule and denuncia-
tion get nowhere. The War Department
win not grant bridge permit merely be-
cause 1t is petitioned for by group and
favored by a crowd. nor will 1t refuse
such a permit merely because the bridge
would entail some Inconvenience. HIN
drance or loss to navigation interests.
"Unless the pontoon bridge Is nuilt
there is no hope in sight Of any substan-
tial relief for the acute distress now
suffered by the public. which will con-
stantIy increase while we walt for the
vehicular tunnels and the great railroad
and highway bridge from F'ifty-seventh
street to Weehawlen. N. j."

respondent learns from reliable Ger
man source. 4 trade agreement is ex-
pected to be reached within a fortnight.
Chancellor wirth after agreeing on
basis for the peace treaty with the
Cabinet decided to consult both Govern
ment and opposition leaders before pre-
pairing II for approval OF the Reichstag.
This Is among the reasons given for
postponing the opening OF the Reichstag
until late in September, although the
main reason liz the necessity OF first
settling the new taxation bill. THE
NEW York HERALp's informant believes
thay the American Government will
consent TO a settlement on German prop
erty that has been sequestrated and will
avoid raising the question OF Germany's

An audience that filled the audito-

cred in Carnegie Hall yesterday after
noon to welcome Nine. Louise Homer
and her daughter, Miss Louise Homer,
who appeared in joint recital.
The occasion not only marked the re-

an absence of several months but had

Nine. Homer has many admirers, both
for her vocal endowment and for the
success she has achieved in combining
an artistic career with the cultivation
of family life. With gracious gesture
yesterday she brought the two sides of

voices of our musical stage, and with
mature and well-rounded artistry But
every encouragement was given the
young singer, both in the manner in
which she was presented and in the re-
ception she met.
In her first number 80 Sleep, Why
Dost Thou Leave Me?" by Handel, she
was evidently nervous, but less so in
Mozart's "Allclujah," which followed.
The youthful freshness of her voice fell
more naturally into two songs com
posed by her father, "Sick Child" and
Especially JIM" in which she was at
her best, singing expressively and with
out effort. She rapidly gained in poise
in these and the duets which came
later.
Nine. Homer was in splendid voice.
She sang with dramatic fervor and gen

Exactiohs of labor on shipboard and
the constant Increase Of the pilferage
evil have become a growing cause for
complaint on the part of British ship
owners.
One of the principal sufferers has
been the Peninsular aud Oriental Nav
igation Company, which, through it's
various allied interests, controls more
ocean tonnage than any concern in the
world. Lord lnchcape, the chairman of
TINS company, declared that matters
nave reached stage where the com
pany would save money by laying up
its ships.

world because they cannot be run under
present conditions" Lord Inchcape
states. ports are congested every
where. Thousands OF officers, engineers,
seamen, stokers ard stewards are out
of employment, ana ye, a commission
has been sitting in Brussels to con-
slder the advisability of limiting en-
ployment at sea to eight hours day.

discipline, therefore, is at a dis
count. Demands are constantly being
made for increased accommodation on
board snip, much in excess of Board of
Trade requirements. Unless this is
given threats are held out that the ships

have to be sacrificed to meet the de-
mands, thus reducing The earning ca
pacity Of the ships and necessitating
higher rates Of passage money.
Before the war the average wage of
