HUBBARD BROS. < CO.'S LETTER

NEW YORK, May 14.-There was little or no pressure this morning on the open ing. Overnight buying orders caused our market to open up well at about satur- days closing prices. The fact that the weather has been generally cloudy over the weekend and private reports reaching us saying that several stations in Texas had reported rather heavy rain, caused a further upturn later in the session. Busi- ness was of small volume and short cover ing that reached our market from time to time found few contracts for sale. It is generally believed tha a rally Is due, and should the weather continue bad we feel that prices will advance further There was some further short covering be- fore the close, putting October above 23c Futures in Liverpool due tomorrow.

look elsewhere for a living. Thou sands of them daily pass under the river for distances as great as a mile without once looking up from their papers, or being impressed with the thought that they are actually speeding beneath a real river.
 Of the bridges, the Greensboro bridge is the longest, with a total length of 7,449 feet. It is built on the cantilever principles and it's maxi mum span is 1.1S2 feet. The Williams length of 1908 feet and record burg bridge comes next, with a maximum span of 1.600 feet. The Manhattan bridge is 6,S55 feet long and the Brooklyn bridge, although more famous than the others, is only 6,016 feet long. The Manhattan bridge was the most expensive to build, costing s31,0S4,705. These four bridges cost total of $97.959,1 133.
 While these tunnels and bridges, considered as a unit, are one of the wonders of the modern world, engi- neers say that it will be necessary constantly to add to them if the city is to expand normally and achieve a natural growth The taxpayers of New York no doubt often regret that their famous wonderland is entirely surrounded by water.

Twenty-third Underground Artery Of Traffic Soon To
 Be Completed

NEW YORK, Dec. I5.-(By Asso- ciated Press.) of the huge Hudsorts river vehicular tunnel to connect the island of Manhattan with New Jersey, will add the twen- ty-third underground artery to the great network of subaqueous pas sageways that radiate from teeming New York and which are as neces- sary to it's swarming life as are the arteries in mans body.
 The underground tubes and tunnels however. are only a part of the citys S blood system. for in addition there are Is bridges. These tunnels and bridges cannot be equalled by any city in the world.
 The bridges are of total approx innate length of Il miles and the tun- nels and tubes each average about three-fourth of a mile. Combin ed they carry GA railroad, subway, ele- vated and surface car tracks, spread ing in all directions from Manhattan In addition there are roadways for vehicular traffic on virtually all the bridges.
 Leading all other underground pas sageways in size will be the new Hudson river vehicular tunnel, which Is expected to be ready for use in 1a26 at a cost of more than S30,000,- 900. Each of it's twin tubes will meas ure 30 feet in diameter It will be 9,250 feet long and more than 5000 feet under the river. To carry off the poisonous exhaust gas from pleasure cars and trucks. a marvellous ventilating system is being installed.

MRS. GAIT EXPLAINS
Says Parties Indorse Monroe Doctrine
 Because Neither Fathcrcd It

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.--Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, suffrage leader today told the Foreign Policy association that the political parties indorsed the Monroe Doctrine because neither fathered it.
 There are more entangling things in the Monroe Doctrine" Mrs. Catt declared, than George Washington ever dreamed of. To say the doctrine is right and true because all Amer jeans believe in it, is wrong, because South Americans do not believe in it..
 Our policy is worn out; it is now a defense of our commerce, a defense of big business. The doctrine has not been applicable since the war. The Golden Rule has never reached the diplomats of the world. It is un- tarnished, as it hardly ever has been used.
 "The only thing Secretary of State can do with the Monroe Doc Urine Is to interpret it. Secretaries of State have been interpreting it for years and will be for years to come. It's like an old umbrella, you can't throw 1t away"

MORE DEMOCRACY
 COMMUNIST PLAN
All Russian Party Groups Asked To Consider
 Resolution

MOSCOW, Dec. 15.-(By Associated Press Discussion of methods to bring about greater Characterization of the communist party, in line with the recent resolution of the central committee, has become nationwide. NJ. Stalin, secretary of the central committee, has sent word to the pro Ninces asking all the party groups to consider the resolution, but reiterat- ing that no blocs within the party speeches and articles by various gov ernment leaders printed in the offi- cial newspaper PraVda during the last few days, the following appears to be the situation;
 For some months there was a strong undercurrent of opposition within the party to strict control by the higher leaders, such as Kameneff, Zinovieff and Staltn, without much opportunity for discussion of affairs 0y tho rank and file, who In many cases have to deal with the concrete questions of satisfying local work men on strike, or peasants hard hit by the economic crisis. This led to the tentative formation of opposition groups within, the party.
 Realizing the danger to the prole- tartan dictatorship. the leaders sought some method of amelioration, and the partys central committee accepted a resolution advocating much wider discussion of all problems by the rank and file.
 Discussion of ths resolution by the Moscow communist party has revealed wide differences of opinion and much criticism. and doubt Is expressed in some quarters that the existing or Eani1ation of the party will carry out real party democracy.
 War Minister Trotzky seems to be firmly on the side of the dissenters. Although i'll. he wrote a letter on the subject, as a result of which M. Stalin, according to the Pravda, ac- ouses him of "diplomatically support ing the opposition in its struggle with tho central committee under the

PLANE CAPABLE OF
 TRIPLE FUNCTIONS
Machine Equipped For Bomb ing, Torpedo Launching
 And Long Range Scouting

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.--An air. plane, which combines the functions of three usual type planes, bombing, torpedo launching and long range scouting, has been developed by the bureau of aeronautics of the navy.
 The plane, which Is equipped with a $50 horse power engine is the light est for its horse power ever built, being able to fly with more than it's own weight as a load and powerful enough to, carry a greater load than twin engined bombers now use.
 With a wing spread of 65 feet, the machine weighs about four thousand pounds and is Il feet high and 34 feet long. It may be launched from catapult on a battleship's deck or the flying deck of an aircraft car- rier. has a 2,200 mile range without landing for refueling and Is quickly convertible to either sea or land plane.
 Constructed of. steel and duralum- ium, except for the wings, which are made of wood and fabric, the craft is designated to fold so as to save space. As a land plane, a. maximum speed of 105 miles an hour may be developed and the machine Is equip ped with radio for sending and re- ceiving. two machine guns, and with running lights similar to an auto mobile.

 One of these women, Mrs. Salo Auerbach wife of a wealthy theatre owner, was served late today with a grand jury subpoena calling for her appearance on Monday. The sub poena was served after Mrs. Auer- bach was questioned as to whether she was the woman, who, with man identified as KoretZ, often paid day. time visits to the Koretz apartment under the name of MT. and Mrs. Al Bronson.

One slide showed a neck tie. It was headed; What the husbands get out of the Panama oil stock" Next came a pie ture showing a profusion of jewelry.

Two Justices Of Peace Are Among Stuttgart Men Ar
 rested For Rioting

STUTTGARTT, Ark. Dec. 15.-(By Associated Press.)-Eleven men. in : cluding two justices of the peace. were arrested here late today on charges of rioting, assault and bat tery, malicious mischief and az gravated assault in connection with the recent attack upon the editors and the plant of the Free Press, a local weekly newspaper.
 All of the men are prominent rice growers. They were indicted yester- day by the special grand jury con- vened last Monday by Circuit Judge George w. Clark to investigate the attack on the newspaper and probe the affairs of the Co-Operative as sociation. Each of the defendants Is charged with the four offenses named.
 The defendants are: James Grant hun, w. N. Beeble, Foe Gartwell, A. J. Cartwell, Eugene Britton Joe Rosencrantz, P. NJ. Smith, Lee Mill Ter. Flold Yoder, Park Eldridge and Pearl Glow, Feeble and Rosencrantz are justices of the peace.
