Fifty Years Ago
In The Star

Half a century ago the land on the
American side of Niagara Falls became
Niagara Falls State park. The
Star OF July IA,
Is Emancipated. 1885, SAYS:
"On the 18th of this month occurs an
event which the patient American people
certainly never expected to see, namely,
the emancipation of Niagara Falls.
Little by little this crowning natural
wonder had been seized upon by Phil
listineS, with an eye to the main chance,
and made to bring dollars and dimes,
especially dollars, to their Unsuitable
pockets. But the scandal finally became
so outrageous that the State interfered
for very shame and by an appropriation
of one million dollars satisfied the claims
of the natives and rescued the falls from
their clutches Most of the scenery on the
American side is now to be free, and
before long the same can be said of the
Canadian side. as the Dominion author
tiles are acting in concert with New York
State and intend to free and make into
an international park the large strip OF
land on their side of the river. Under
the new regime 1t is estimated that the
saving in fees alone from each visitor
who does the falls thoroughly will be
eleven dollars"
Apropos of this comment is the fol-
lowing in The Star of July l8, 1885, with
Fees Charged at reference to Mount
Mount Vernon. "e[non; aFnco,,raged bv
the emancipation of Niagara Falls from
the grasp of brutal hackmen and eX-
tortionate toll gatherers, correspond
ent suggests in another column OF to-
days Star that Mount Vernon should be
thrown open free to the public. The
suggestion is an excellent one. and as
an abstract proposition it will doubtless
find a second in the heart of large
majority of the American people, out
we are apprehenSive that it Will prove
somewhat difficult to carry into effect.
The title to the property lies in the
Mount Vernon Ladies' Association. which
purchased the estate from its former
owners with funds contributed TO that
end in various ways by the public, under
an act of authority passed by the Legis-
lature of Virginia in 1856. There is no
reason to believe that this organization
would be willing to surrender possession
or control of the place, if it had the
power to do So While it is responsible
for the care of the property and its
precious relics it must have means to
meet the necessary expenses OF that
trust and the charging of a fee to visi-
tors is probably the easiest and most
equitable method of providing such rev.
nue.. If our correspondent will place at
its disposal q fund, the income of which
will be sufficient to meet all annual out
lays, or if Congress will make an ap-
preparation each year for the purpose
Indicated we have no doubt those in
charge would be glad to have everybody
visit the place, under proper regulations.
without the requirement of fee. The
last-named course is obviously the more
feasible one of the two; but whether
Congress would view the proposition
favorably is somewhat doubtful. Still,
since Niagara has been made free, the
project is by no means hopeless one
and agitation of the subject can certainly
do no harm"

The answer is found in projected
New Deal programs. There is to be no
new N. r. A. That is as spokesmen for
business wished. 1t means no restraints
for industry other than those imposed
by the antitrust laws, which now are
about As years old
There is to be a new labor law. But
many important employers say that they
do not intend to obey the law because
of their conviction that it is illegal.
In any event, Federal enforcement is
to be cautious and designed to avoid
disturbance.
Congress has voted for unemployment
insurance and old-age insurance. But
unemployment insurance is left up to
the States, and old-age insurance does
not take effect until 1887. Pay roll taxes
are not collectable before January /,

Money tinkering is stopped. Mr..
Roosevelt is interested now in an end

used his strongest influence to defeat
the use of printing press money to pay

control, the dollar will hold its present
gold value and plans can be made
accordingly.

A shift in control of credit from pri-
vate bankers to the Government is in
sight. Yet that involves no actual
change from the present and is designed
to make the credit machinery respond
more readily to business needs. Many
bankers favor the changes.
There is likely to be rigid control of
utility holding companies. That fact
does not affect other lines of business.
Mr.. Roosevelt specifically has said that
he is not opposed to holding companies

ating companies.

MIKE DIVITO TO
 RETURN TOPARK
Distinctive Rhythms to Be Heard This Evening at
 Hamilton Ballroom

Mike DiVito and his new orches- tra return to the Hamilton park pavilion tonight to play a special engagement by popular demand. The DiVito crew scored such tre- mendous hit on their initial ap- pearance at the pavilion several weeks ago, that the management has reengaged them in answer to numerous requests.
 MT. Divito has assembled a splendid organization for his re- turn to the ballroom circuit and already has been booked for great many social functions which are scheduled during the coming weeks. Besides Mike" himself who di- rects the band with his fiddle, the personnel of the outfit includes the following prominent and capable musicians; Cliff Blatherwick, Doe Kane, and Rudy GoldStein on sax es; Lou Boisvert at the piano; Joe Angelo on the traps; Al Benevento at the bass fiddle; and "Busse" Ranaudo playing trumpet.
 The DiVito style of dance music is quite a variation from the other dance bands in town, the tendency
 being toward the smoother type
 which appeals to all lovers of real
 dance music. Patrons of the park
 are glad to welcome back the Di-
 Vito "ork" for another distinctive

which is well equipped, shower baths, a gymnastic room and ap- paratus, library, and all other neces- Sary features.
 Only the best materials were used in the construction of the building. Brass piping is used throughout in the plumbing fixtures and the elec- trical equipment is completely an- sulated. The wall panels of the hall proper are finished in oak while the lower portion is of enameled lime squared off to provide tiled effect. The ceiling is handsomely made with an attractive design and hang ing lights. The lower lights, posted on the walls about the hall provide an indirect lighting system and VIII not be binding. They have been so arranged that they may remain lighted during the entertainments which are planned.
 The hall has been so conStructe0 that it will serve as 8 base for the main altar when the church becomes completed. It is a flat roof type and is finished in grey brick. It is planned that in the spring the premises surrounding the building will become 8 beautiful garden and lawn.
 More than 30 tons of steel have been used in the two main supports of the building and the entire weight of the girders is said to be more than 200 tons. A double heating en- zine has been installed in the lower floor which will be used to heat the church as well as the recreation hall. All future church socials will take place in the hall while in the past meetings have been held in the church. The hall will also be used for private gatherings.
