tion trip, today w.:h Park Connuts.-iou
er Taylor an i the members of the City
Plaunmg Commits ou completed »r
rangements for the uew 1,400 tool
winding roadway to be opened u Keser
voir Park. This, it is proposed, will
expend from a new and format entrance ,
to be provided at the intersection of
Market. Twenty first and \\hitehaii,
streets.
Plans now are being made aud it i<
expected that all w ii be ready by Kri
nay of this ween tor a.uertisiag for
bids for the .-(instruction ot tne p»
posed improvement. The new entra; •'
to the park, like the new road, w.d
have a gravel surface. It wiii be so in id
circular.
Surrounding a plaza. which uiay be
lighted at n ght by electric standards,
probably of the v.uste. type, will be
planted shrubbery aud tlower«. l'hc
new road, it s proposed, wil: extend,
back into the park in a northeasterly
direction an i will intersect the prescut
road leading to Oak K.iob at a point
near the Detweiler monument.
Ti « anernoon Mr. Mann nt :iu i
Commissioner Tflryior conferred with of
ticia.s of the Pennsylvania Kailroad
Company . xp'.i irng the city's plan for
tne continuation of the Cameron Park
way from Iron avenue to the Cameron
street entrance of the preseut parkway.
Additional suggestions for irnprov :
tng the river front, as laid down by Mr. 1
Manning, have been adopted and will!
be carried out. so Commissioner Taylor j
announced this morning. Oue of these
is to .plant tree* aud shrubbery along
the river bank just above the concrete'
steps. Th s not only will beautify trio'
river front but also will serve to pre
serve the dirt bank—prevent the pos
sibnity of heavy rains causing wash
outs an i depositing dirt on the steps
and walk.
A depressei walk along rhe west
- side of Prom street, between Hamilton
and Maclay, may be provided, as
planned by Mr. Manning, s nee the
parkway on the west side of the street
at this point now s not of sufficient j
width to provide a proper thorough
fare. This will be between four and j
five feet below the level of the street. 1

f ese days, and the kind of vaudeville < :
tnat went to make up the four-act show 1
at the Colonial proved just the sort that 'J
the audience iiked. It was lively, lots t
of good songs and lots of pretty girls. 1
The-e was some clever dancing, some- '
m every line that goes to make
vaudeville popular. Tne acts are run i
all together, the pictures being grouped >
between shows, and the audience is in- i
v ited to «!« a« long a-- it pleases. The i

the running of the acts is no longer in- ;
terrupted bv pictures. i
The ftili will change, as usual, in mid

Baltimore and Ohio President Main
tains That Cincinnati. Hamilton and
Dayton Deal Had No Bearing on
Present Need of Railroads »
By i wieitli# Prm.
Washington, Oft. 20. To-day's
hearing before the Interstate Com
merce 1 oramieeiou on the applies
tion ot' the eastern railroads for iu
creased freight rates on their conten
tion that financial exigencies brought
on l»y the KurouiMre war make them
needfiH. was devoted largely to a cioas
examination off Resident Willard. of
the Halt .more and Ohio, on the rela
tions of that system to the Cincinnati.
Hamilton and Dayton.
/Louis 0. Brandeis, special counsel for
the Com mission, 'aid stress on his ipies
tious on the Ratlimore and Ohio invest
a,en; of more than $20,000,000 in the
Ohio line and its assuniptiou of obliga-
Non* of a like amount. The witness
said the investment represented only au
interest charge of $1,000,000 annually
aud iusisted that it would not have af
i fected the present situation of the line.
"If you did not have the Cincinnati.
Hamilton and Dayton vou would ha\#
the money you invested, would you
not? suggested I ommisaioner Meyer.
•'Certainly,'.' answered Mr. Willard.
IHe added that he still maintained the
Cincinnati. Hamilton sn\l I'ay.ton ileal
1 had no bearing ou the present need of
i the railroads for added revenue. He
declared the present condition of all
railroads was such that they were com
. pel led to allow their rolling stock and
roadway* to drdp below standard.
"How have you speut on the
i Cincinnati. Hamilton a:id Dayton in
tne last eighteen monthsf" asked Mr.
Brandeis. He added that the Ohio line
had showed an annual deficit for years
before its purchase by the Baltimore
j aud Ohio and last year that had total
| led more than $3,000,000. Mr. Willard
again replied his road was not .urging
t:ie status of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Daytou as a reason for granting
J a rate advance.
i otuinissioner Meyer also sought to
draw from the witness information as
| to what railroad stockholders demand
ied iu ash ;u< payment oa their invest
J tnents and with what proportion of new
i work accomplished along the line they
I would he satisfied. Mr. Willard argued
tiia: substantial payments on invested
capital were necessary to insure credit
j of railroads and enable them to bor
■ row the money needed for improve
ment work.
Takiug up statements filed by tho
I carriers to support their plea. Clifford
| Thorne. appearing for several Stare
j ra.iroad commissions and shippers' as
| sociations asked Mr. Willard if it was
' not true that the years picked* by the
j railr>a is for comparison to show fail
j ure of new investments to earn any
return were the only years that would
show that result. The statement com
pared figures for 1910 and 1913. Mr.
Thome read figures for 1913 and sev
| eral other ye As both before and after
1910, which showed earnings on near
capital. Mr. Willard did not challenge
the figures read and his croes-elamina
tion closed.
WILSON TALKSTO LAWYERS
" Former President Taft Says Executive
Has Convenes of Nation in
Guiding Ship of State
By .t wo,-inert Pi -tt.
Washington. Oct. 20. — With an ad
dress of welcome by President Wilson,
with former President Taft in the char
and the entire Supreme Court sitting
as guests of honor, the American Ba.-
Association to-dav began its annual
session here.
In his introduction of President Wil
son. Mr. Taft pledged the association "s
earnest co-operation and its deepest
personal confidence in the President's
ability and purpose to guide ths ship
of state safely through the European
crisis. Mr. Taft declared the Ameri
i can people were back of the President 1
in his handling of the international sit
j nation aud that he had the confidence
of the nation.
President Wilson's response was that
his strength rested in the confidence of
the people. He pleaded for the "hu
manizing of the law" in this time of
| international crisis, not only a? respect
to international law but as to munici
pal law. His reference to himself a« a
lawyer, who had reformed, brought
forth tumultuous applause. He said the
world was now "stirred to its depths'"
but that the best course fofa nation to
pursue was the disinterested part. He
added that thy 'unsettled world con ii
tions made a good time for freeing the
law t'reue the dry consideration of cold
precedents and injecting into it more
of the viewpoint of justice for the or
j dinary man.
