East River Channel
Work Now Completed
Project Required Great Care to
Prevent Blasting of the
Transit Tubes

Virtuga completion of the work of
deepening the channel in the East
River to plane of forty feet below
mean low water level was announced
yesterday. The work was done by the
New Jersey Shipbuilding and Dredging
Company, under the direction of Colo
mel Edward Burr, United States Dis
trict Engineer, acting in cooperation
with the Transit Commission.
AS there is thickness of only
nineteen feet between the bottom of
the new level and the iron Innings of
the East River tubes. great care was
necessary in blasting in order not to
food the subways. No blasting was
allowed during the morning and eve
ming rush hours nor at other times
when train was in the block between
Clark Street and Wall Street, and traf-
fc was never resumed until an in
spector in the tube under the river
had satisfied himself that no damage
had been done to the tunnel.
Work was commenced November a,
1919, and was practically finished May
3, 1929, except for the sweeping of the
channel, which now is going on under
the direction of the District Engineer s
office, to see if all points of rock have
been removed. 1t is expected a few
more blasts will be required, but these
will be light and distant from the

hope to be held out for her recovery,
but on the fifth day an abscess devel-
oped and she gradually grew worse.

cover had not the infection set in. She

| From The Tr1bune's Wdshtxoto~ Bu-eau
WASHINGTON, July 15.-The fight
for continuation Of the embargo on
dyes for year after the Administra-
tion tariff bill goes into force will be
renewed in the Senate despite Its elm
ination to-day from the Finance Com
nittee's recommendations by vote In
the Senate of SO to 80.
A revolt of Republican Senators
against the plans Of the Finance Com
mittee was responsible for the defeat
OF the embargo. On Thursday a group
OF insurgent Republicans forced re-
duction Of the cotton yarn schedules.
Senator Frelinghuysen, Republican.
Of New Jersey, announced that he
would again offer the dye provision
after the tariff bill had been reported
by the committee Of the whole. Sena-
tor Bursum, Republican, Of New Mex
| leo, is preparing an amendment which
will allow the dye manufacturers a
profit of 10 per cent-all in excess Of
that to go into the United States Treas
ury-while extending the embargo for
the proposed year.
Fourteen Republicans, with the en-
tire Democratic representation in the
Senate, voted against the extension Of
the dye embargo. Two Republicans
were paired against it. This action
marks the failure Of the country's dye
manufacturers in the fourth stage of

Lawyers Own Will Illegal,
So Widow Gets Bi ggger Share

Although Benno Loewy was lawyer
of prominence for many years before
his death, the Appellate Division do
cided yesterday that his will was in
valid because, contrary to the dece-
dents estate law, he bequeathed more
than one-half of his estate to a public
institution while he had wife.
Mr. Loewy directed that an extensive
library should go to Cornell University
and bear his name. He r.'>vided that il
for any reason Cornell could not ac-
-cept it, then it should be offered to
Johns Hopkins or Leland Stanford.
For Mrs Isabella Loewy, his widow, the
lawyer provided an income for life
from the rest of his estate. the prin-
cipal to be used - extend the library
upon the death OF Mrs Loewy. The
provision was made without the con-
sent of Mrs. Loewy. The will of her
husband stipulated that II she con-

tested his will she was to receive only
ner dover interest in their residence.
She has taken no part in the proceed
ing to test the validity of her husbands s
will, which was brought by the At
tcrney General because of the alleged
violation of the decedent's estate law.
1t is pointed out in the Appellate
Division decision that Cornell Uni
yversity has not accepted the gift of
parently withheld for no other discerre
ible reason than to ascertain whether
the endowment of $4,000 provided for
in the will shall accompany the gift
Tor the purpose of purchasing books
and supplementing the gifS of the
library itself"
Instead Of the S135, 600 estimated by
Mr. Loewy for the endowment fund it
Is found that it amounts to only
$4,000.
The Loewy estate will now 60 to Mrs.

Trouble loomed up for the tariff
bill in other directions. After dispos-
ing of the dye embargo question, the
Senate reverted again to the cotton
S hedule, which caused so much insur-
gency the other day. The paragraph
relating to cotton threads was taken
up and opposition arose at once to
the increases proposed by the, Finance
Committee over the House rates
These increases range from one and
the House rates and, as Senator Smoot
explained, are about per cent above
existing law.
Democrats Oppose Increases
Senator Smith,, of South Carolina
Demo side criticized any in
creases. Senator Smith declared enor-
nous profits were made by the manu-.
facturers of thread, and he referred tc
one concern in particular which, he
said, regularly made profits ranging
from $2,0O0,ooo to $4,000 900 year.
In the end the rates proposed by
the Finance Committee went through

with them, took the position that the
Senate increases were not large enough

there was no roll call.
of cotton cloths in paragraph 903
Senators Smith, Simmons and Lenroot
attacked the rates proposed by the
committee. and without a roll call
forced Senator Smoot to accept series
of reductions under the rates which
the committee proposed. The fact that
Senator Smoot accepted them was taken
to indicate that he realized the com.
mittee was likely to be defeated on g
test. On coarser cotton cloths the
committee proposed rates varying from
Is to IS per cent ad valorem. These
went down 10 to 80 per cent, which
are but slightly above the House level
and other reductions were made
Committee In for Squalls
The turning down Of the committee
On the dye embargo, plus the signs Of
disaffection on the cotton thread ane
cotton cloth duties, served to ac
centuate the constantly growing tall
Of difficulties ahead for the tariff
measure. Indications are that all re
naming schedules, and even the sched'
ules already acted on, arc in for rough
and stormy weather. All predictions
as TO when the bill will pass or how
it will finally be SNAPPED up are IN the
air.
The alignment on the dye embargo
was much different from that on cot
ton yarns last Thursday. 1t was not
indicative of the alignment as between
high duties and moderate duties. Sen.
ator Wadsworth, who voted the other
day against doubling the House rate or
cotton waste, was paired in favor o.
the embargo. Senators La Toilette ant

against it.
