Dr. Esteben Gil-Borpes. Veneznelan
Winiflter of Foreign Belations, and the I
Venezueian Commission were tendered ;
a dinner at the Hotel Biltmore last
night. Dr. Gil-Borges and his com- !
inission, on behalf of their povernment,
decorated Mayor Hylan and the sculp- '
tor, Mrs. Sally Jaraes Farnham, who
?ade the Bolivar statue. with the |
Order of the Liberator, the h'tghest
hor.or of the South American republic. ;
Bonds of friendship and common
p.rpose were cemented at the dinner. i
otit, in the words of Job E. Hedges, it
iras not a get-together dinner, as the
aations already stand together readv
"to whip any one who says they are
not together, and if any man interferes
Jet the misunderstanding be his."
Tbe speakers were Rodman Wana
maker, toastmaster; Mayor Hylan, Dr.
Santos A. Dominici, Venezueian Minis
ter to the United States; john Bassett
Moore, president of the Pan-American
Society of the United States; Ambas
sador Reltran Mathieu of Chile and
Mr. Hedges. The Rev. Father Francis
P. Duffy prcnounced the invocation.'
United States flags and the Vene
tuelar. ftandard were used in the deco
rations. Distinpuished army and navy
ofBcers were present, among them Rear
Adtnirals Usher and Long, Majors W.
R. McCleary and John Gans jr. and
Brigadier General William Weigel. All
South American governments were offi
cially represented.
Mayor Hylan expressed the pleasure
of the government, iho city and his
own personal deligbt at being able to
-reet friends from the far South and
reviewed the history which won in?
dependence for the South American
nations. He compared Bolivai the
liiberator to Washington and urged
eternal friendship among the nations
of America.
Dr. Dominici told of the throwing off
of the yoke of Spanish control in South
America and quoted Bolivar. -who, in
'.eadir.g his armies, said: "He who is
too proud to fight is too proud to bene
iit." He, too. compared Bolivar with
Washington, and added:
"The principles for which the United
States fou^ht in the war for independ
snee and those for which the countries
of South America f ought are the same.
An nnderstanding of these principles
*iil bring an understanding of all
Americans."
i Mr. Hedges beamed on Mayor Hylan
and saiii:
"Tk* Mayor and I have sat here con
'.eritedly without a thought of a five
ct &a eight cent fare. This is mori
than court- or commissions have been
ihletodo. But Monday the Mayor and
will be at it ftgain, I am united with
h m in a eonimon purpose to-night,
1 owever, and 1 really thank tho man
v h-i decorat?d i.im.
"If we had a ouphonious language
like you people of the South Americas
we could agree here in North America,
but as it is we cannot agree even on a
niafter of alcoholie content. I believe
Mayor Hylan a?id I agree for once in
spirit and emotion nnd that it is the
same emotion -which rules this coun
try.'
At the close of the dinncr Rodman .
nanamaker wrapped the American flag
around the shoulders of Dr. Gil-Borges, ;
saying: "We bring you this heautiful i
flag, this symbol of liberty; this great
decoration; tho best we have."

qualified, for the purpose of asslsting
inat cfflicicncy.
It was explained that the Sea Servlce
Bureau was a departmont ol the Unit?
ed States Shipping Board, createcr for
the purpose of recruiting and train
ing men for thc American merchant
marine. It has mainly served as a re
cruiting offsce for both government and
privately owned vessel*. The opera
tors are opposed to its abolishment be
cause it gives men, they &ay, not mem?
bers of uniona a chance to get a job.
The owners also say, and this was ad
mitted by Mr. Furuseth, that most of
the American workers are recruited
through this bureau.
Section 2 rcfers to the provision *hat
75 per cent of the crew of any vessel
entering an American port must under
stand the language of the ship's of
ficers. Mr. Furuseth insists that two
thirds of the vessels entering Ameri?
can ports are violating this rule.
Section 14 refers to life-saving ap
pliances, which the union men insist
?are not available on a large number
of ocean-going steamships, for the pro
toction of the crew and the traveling
public.
The wage committee of the operators
replied to these demands that, as to
the abolition of the Sea Service Bureau,
it was up to the United States Ship?
ping Board. The points referring to
enforcement of sections 13, 14 and 2 of
the seamen's act must be referred to
the Department of Commerce, which
has jurisdiction in the matter. With
regard to the demand for preference in
employinent for union men, the ship
I owners were entirely opposed to such j
j a proposition, because, they asserted,
it would involve discrimination in em?
ployinent and might involve discrimi?
nation against young American seamen
! in favor of foreigners.
The meeting of the Ship Owners As
sociation, which followed the confer
ence with the firemen, was presided
over by H. H. Raymond, its president,
who is head of the Clyde and Mallory
lines. The chairman of the wage
committee was Captain Eugene E.
O'Donnell.
iNational Republican
Club Re-elects Hilles
| H. W. Taft and W. A. Prender
I gast Nanied Vice-Presidents;
870 New Members in 2 Yrs.
| Charles D. Hilles, Reptfblican na
i tional committeeman from New York,
I was unanimously reelected president
: of the National Republican Club at the
i annual meeting last night, and Henry
: W. Taft, United States Senator Calder
: and Public Service Commissioner Wil
; liam A. Prendergast were elected vice
? presidents.
President Hilles, in a speech which
; was enthusiastically received, said that
; in the last two years the club had
i received 870 new niembera, and that
the total mcmbership at present is
above 2,200. Members of the club in
, the national eampaign last year sub
; scribed $556,000, or about one-sixth of
| the total amount collected by the Re?
publican National Committee. Twenty
| seven members of the club served on
i the nlatform committee of the Republi?
can N'ational Convention, and the re
\ ports of the club's political committees
formed the basis of the Republican na?
tional platform.
Arthur Merriam, a former president
: of the club,- was so pleased at the
< progress of the organization in the
: last two ysars under the presidency
I of Mr. Hilles that he made the. club a
present of $2,00C in club building
! bonds.
Von Pickler's
Killing Laid to
Berlin Agents
(Contlnued from nags one)
police to photograph these flngerprints
with the aid of an X-ray machine were
unsuccessful.
Detectives from Prosccutor Gasklll's
office to-day uncovered the slain man's
connections with the German secret
service. The investigation showod that
when Von Pickler came to this country
twenty years ngo he was an accreditcd
agent of the German secret service and
was known officially by a number. Dur?
ing his long stay in America he became
estranged fro mhis family, and Ameri?
can associations are said to have en
gendered a contempt for the Prussian
military caste. As he was u cripple
this faeling was reciprocated and
finally led to his resignation from the
secret service.
It is the belief of the police that
when the war broke, Berlin, disregard
ing this resignation, sent him orders
to perform his part in the German
imperial foreign intelligencn system.
Von Pickler refused to obey' these
orders, it is thought, announcing that
he would do no spying against his
adopted country. This open detiance
of the will of his fatherlnnd evidently
was not forgotten in Berlin, for within
the last six months von Pickler is
said to have received more than twenty
mysterious lettcrs bearing foreign
postmarks. As all these letters are
said to have agitated him greatly, the
polico believe that they may have
borne the 'news to him that he was to
pay for disobediance.

$60,000 Voted for Gty
Experts in Phone Fight
The Board of Alderm'en yesterday
authorized a $60,000 appropriation in
special revenue bonds to pay for experts
STVJtaL111 the city'B fl*ht ?K?in8t the
$11,000,000 increase in ratea of the
New York Telephono Company. In
pleading for the money AsaiBtant Cor
porntion Counael Fertig predicted the
telephone company had not yetfiniahed
rntsing ratea, and that another advance
of nbout $5,000,000 migbt be cxpeeted.
Mr. Fertig said that it cost Chicago
$200,000 and MinnoBota $150,000 for
the same cxpert work, and in this
state it cost Syraeuae $20,000 and Buf
falo $25,000 for a much amaller amount
of work. Tho first thing to be done,
he aaid, was to make an exhauative ex
amination and appraisal of the tele?
phone company'a property, which
would take at least four or five months
and maybe longer.
Mr. Fertig also declared that, In his
opinion, the increaae in rates should
be placed on long distanco calls and
not on local calls. Attention was called
to the fact that the engaging of out
of-town experts was in violation of
the charter, unless such expert8 could
not be found in this city. Mr. Fertig
explained that the experts could not
be found in this city or in the state.
Moat of them come from Chicago. he
said.

Who Paid for the
Brooklyn Bridge?
About 200,000 people each morning paid 2f to
be ferried across a river and each night 2$ to
return? 4? a day, nearly $15.00 a year per per
son for over-river transportation.
Then the Brooklyn Bridge was built and the
street cars carried these 200,000 people right
'across the water without wait or additional
expense.
The bridge cost $18,000,000. Who paid for it?
Perhaps the 200,000 people who saved some
$3,000,000 annual ferry costs know the answer to
this question in economics.
Good advertising is an economical method of
selling goods nationally.
With good advertising as with a good bridge,
the cost is absorbed in the economies it effects.

Senator Calder, of New York, sup
ported Aldridge'a appointnnent.
Thla is the first of the more im
portant Federal appointmenta and an
nouncementa of others are expected
to be made in a few days. F. J. H.
Kracke, of Brooklyn, former Public
Service Commiasioner, is said to be
slated for Appraiser of the Port
Thomaa W. Whittle, former Park Com
missioner, is expected to be named
Surveyor of the Port. There is as
yet no agreement on United States
District Attorney to succeed Francis
C. Caffey. The last named place is
fllled on the recommendation of Samuel
S. Xoenig, chairman of the Republican
County Committee of New York.
Mr. Aldridge, "Uncle George," as
the Monroe County Republicans call
him, has been Republican ieader in
his home county for n quarter of a
century. He was born in Michigan
City, Ind., in 1866. He was Mayor of
Rochester in 1894, State Superintend
ent of Public Works in 1895 and chair?
man of the New York State Railroad
Commission in 1905. At the Chicago
convention last year Mr. Aldridge and
his fellow townsman, County Clerk
James H. Hotchkiss, voted for Senator
HaTding on every ballot. Since then
Aldridge has been called the original
Harding man of New York State.
A statement was issued by Mr. New
ton from his home at Bayside, L. I.,
last night in which he said that the
President'a action suited his personal
convenience, Mr. Newton said he had
arranged to enter the banking firm of
Kardos & Burke, at 32 Broadway, and
that his resignation had been sent to
the White House some days ago.
"For eight years as Assistant Sec?
retary of the Treaaury and as Col- i
lector of the Port I have endeavored i
to give honest, vntelligent and non- i
partisan service," said Mr. Newton.
"I feel certain that the Preaident'e
action does not imply any personal or
official criticism or dissatisfactiou."
