MANY ATTEND DINNER
OF CITY LEAGUE BOWLERS

Several hundred men attended
the dinner given at the Elks Club
last night for the teams which had
participated in the recent tourna-
ment of the city bowling league. The
occasion was the formal closing. of
the event and those present included
the members of the competing
teams and their friends. Following
the dinner the high cores made in
the course of the tournament were
announced and Mayor William c.
Wilson, who acted as POSTMASTER.
awarded individual prizes to the
winners.
Before the dinner was served en-
tertainers provided by the Kelly
bureau of New York appeared on
the floor and presented a series of
acts that proved highly popular.
Current song hits. novelty dances,
and comic monologues comprised
the program offered and tn , enter
tainment features seemed to be
completely successful.
During the presentation of prizes
which followed the serving of dinner
the members of the Board of Alder
men came In and. were announced
one by one, each alderman walking
up lnS dlSie " pS SIccteu Wy Nldyoi
Wilson. The mayor then made a
short speech congratulating the
bowlers on the success of the tour
nament and presented the individual
prizes. These were given for high
team score, the first high individual
averages. two for high individual
scores, two for high string scores,
and each member of the winning
Forester team also received a prize
of a gold watch fob. The other
prizes consisted of bowling balls,
smoking outfits and clothing awards
donated by businesses of the city.
The Forester club entry COPIED first
place in this bowling league, and the
other teams finished in the following
order: American Smelling &c Rein
ing Company. Elks. Atlantic Terra
Gotta Company, Postoffice. Conser:
natives, Bohnsacks, and ~Ironclads.
There was great interest in this
tournament, and the championship
was not decided until the final
match on the schedule was rolled.
The number of games on the SEIZED
ule for this tournament prevented
interest tagging as in the vase when
y long drawn out schedule is ar
ranged.
All of the teams had their W ta-
bles with their name cards on them
at the banquet last night. The sue
cess of the tournament this season
will surely be a big help in the or
~ganization of the league next year
1t is possible that an effort will be
made to add two teams to the circuit

sEWAREN PROTESTS At
Annexation HEARING
(continued from page one)

Refuting the statement of former

poses.

made to the efficient fire department.

Mr.. Boland.
Francis ". DobLins, of the Union

opposition to the bill. He referred
TO the fact that former Judge Lyon
maintained that simply because n

clause, the bill ought to surely pass

In refuting the argument OF the
onpenents OF the measure, former

Il thu residents of SswGren are for or
against a measure. He said that

COASTAL SHIP MEN
EXPERIMENTATION.
Subsidy Gossip Brings Details
OF Proposed Atlantic
Syndicate.

A way out of the intercoastal rate
war was seen yesterday in the last
minute change in the shin. subsidy bill
which gives the Shipping Board power
over coastwise water carriers similar to
that exercised by the Interstate Com
merce Commission over the railroads
This solution of problem long stand
ing has been advocated frankly by the
operators Of intercoastal shipping. They
tried, however, to maintain rates
through a gentlemen's agreement OF
which they all were parties and 1t failed.
resulting In crash in rates that has
brought them. on the average, to one
third their former levels.
The development at Washington ap-
peared the only basis for the rumors Of
intercoastaI peace that have been cir
culating in the shipping district for some
days. 1t was denied flatly by those in
position to know that any round table
meeting of the warning elements is
scheduled and the rumor was denounced
as probably emanating from some
broker or ship operator who wished to
throw a scare into shippers and book up
some cargo.
News yesterday centered largely about
the possibility of favorable action on the
subsidy bill by Congress. A syndicate
is planned to take over the Shipping
Boards Atlantic passenger fleet, in
cluding the Leviathan. and to build two
1000 foot liners to operate with 1t.
Whether the plans are put into effect
depends upon whether national aid is
forthcoming. Latest information is that
the following is the personnel of the
syndicate:
The Kerr Steamship Company. of which
Alfred e. ~Clegg is active head: the
Moore and Mccormack Company, which.
together with the Kerr Company, acts as
lnanaging operator for the United States
Lines; Homer l.. Ferguson, president of
the Newport News Shipbuilding and
Drydock Company J. Barstow Smull
president Of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration; William J. Love, vice -presi-
dent and general manager ofsthe Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, and William
Francis Gibbs, In charge of recondltion-
ing THO Leviathan and designer of the
thousand-foot liners
In addition. there would be banking
supports which has not been revealed,
and it is expected that one or more of
The large companies operating Shipping
Board freighters on the Atlantic would
be members. The plans Of the syndicate
were dampened somewhat by the dry
ship ruling, but the loss anticipated
from this will be compensated for il
the new feature of the subsidy bill,
granting payment for the carriage OF
ocean mails instead Of requiring their
transportation gratis, Is made law. This
would add about S3,000.000 yearly to
payments to American express liners.

GREAT TUNNEL CAISSON
