Navy Scrapping
To Cost America

elusive of any, salvage plan. In Iim
statement to the conference Jecrc
tary Huirhes said that the work at
ready done had co-i JJ.fcyxio.iXiO.
hut these figures do not include
costi incident to abandonment cf
the ships under construction.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
said yesterday that the American
program would !avc the government
about $2nO,(XK.,n(K) in naval expendi
tures. The figure is the difference
between the total 'cost ol comple
tion cf the ships, about $6O0.O)0,OO,
and what scrapping would cost. In
cluded in the scrapping costs are
allowances for, reimbursement of
contractors for" work they have
beesi compelled to do in their yards in
preparation for building . the huge
craft.
Will Not Stop Work.
There is no intention by the. gov
ernment to stop work on the. new
ships until an agreement actually
is reached by the conference and
ratified by the governments. .
That was made plain yesterday.
Construction on the great majority
of the vessels is proceeding slowly,
however, the division of . available
building funds averaging about
$2,000,000 a year per capital ship in
volved. The only ships on which
work has been halted, pending de
velopments are the two at New
York ' navy yard. Stoppage there,
it is (aid, does not involve proba
bility of damage suits for breach of
contract. '
In any case, it was added, ex
penditures in progress on ships that
may be ordered scrapped, are of
such a nature that they could not
be saved.
Engineers Told of
St. Lawrence Plan
Kansas Executive Takes Ex
ception to Governor ,
Miller's Stand.
New York, Nov, 15 Argument In
favor of the proposed St, Lawrence
Ship channel and power project -was
advanced at a meeting of American
Engineering satieties yesterday by
Governor H. J. AUcn of Kansas,
former Governor W. L. Harding of
Iowa and other speakers.'
Governor Allen took, exception to
statements made by Governor Miller
of New York, in an address against
the project in Buffalo, declaring the
New York governor had been mis
informed regarding details and costs.
Contrary to Governor Miller, he said
the project was practicable and sci
entifically possible . .-
Mr. Harding declared that tht
project would solve the problem of
inadequate freight carrying facilities,
which long had been a thorn in the
side of shippers of the miadlewest.
Every port on the Great Lakes, he
added, could be made into an ocean
port if the St.' Lawrence chan- el
were cut.

Curb Market Must
End, Court Orders
Temporary' Injunction Grant
ed Declares Body Is "Un
! mitigated Nuisance."
- New York, Nov. 15 The last ves
tiges of New York's curb market,
just below the stock exchange, were
ordered off the streets yesterday as
an "unmitigated nuisance," in a tem
porary injunction granted by Su
preme Court Justice Lydon.
The decision, unless set aside, will
end a business that has flourished
in Broad Steet for. 150 years. The
justice declared that if the police did.
their duly, it would not be necessary
to appy to the courts for an injunc
tion. The' New York curb market as
sociation left Broad Street several
months ago and went jndoors, but
other brokers organized as the Curb
Stock and Bond Market of New
York, Inc., and continued in the
Street. It was against the latter or
ganization that the injunction was
directed, .,-.'.

senate managers, announced that the
senators from the interested states
wanted to be heard on the amend
ment and-, that it .had been passed
over. . some Jionse managers said
the house had' no objection' to.' ac
cepting the senate change. ' - ' '

the senate amendment requiring the
filing of returns by individuals hav--ing
a gross income of $5,000 or more,
irrespective of the amount of the net
income. ' They also receded on the
senate amendment allowing partner
ships which organize as corporations

Ordinance Ured
In Bluffs 4o Stop
Sunday Funerals
lderman Opposes Plan As
Entering Wedge to Request
For Rigid "Blue
Laws."
Four florists, 39 clergymen and
one undertaker, carrying a petition
signed by himself and two others,
appeared before the Council Bluffs
city council last night and urged the
passage of an anti-Sunday funeral
ordinance. L. Cutler Si Sons, un
dertakers, refused to sign the pe
tition. vAldcrman A. Bellinger opposed the
ordinance, stating that in hi opin
ion it was the opening wedge for a
request for, rigid Sunday "Blue
Laws" that would stop all business
on Sunday. He told the delegation
that if they did not want Sunday
funerals he would not oppose them
forming a combine to stop tholu, but
that if undertakers from outside of
the city wished to conduct services
for the dead he would not favor laws
interfering with. them, lie stated
that under present economic condi
tions it is a hardship on "working
men to ouit work to attend funerals
and the only day of rest they have
is Sunday. . .
I lie ordinance was referred to the
city attorney, who will report later
on its legality. From the applause
of other members of the council that
greeted Alderman - .Bellinger s re
marks, it was evident that the proposed-ordinance
did not. meet-with
favor.
The council will meet as a com
mittee of the whole Wednesday to
consider the building ordinance.
