As the result of this work, the southeast corner of McLaughlin Park was left approximately four feet below the grade of Bridge street, and It was necessary to reconstruct this section of the park so as to bring It up to the existing grade of Bridge street." In Linton Park, a small comfort station for men and women, was erected at a cost of and $7,690 was expended for a shelter house in Highland Park. The work on the abandoned contract for completing the addition to the Museum Building is SO per cent, completed, according to the report, and will be finished very soon. Think of sending an ex-convict to a lone sick woman to serve her about the house! It is one thing for ex-convicts to work in a large plant like the Ford shops, but uplift makes a fearful error when it banks on lack of character. People who enter homes must come with clean hands, they must be well known by some one willing to recommend them or they must be watched.

Character counts and those who care nothing for that fact, must be made to care. SMRPTWViM-rc Miar'jwilr "f9 :2 DENTAL SPECIALIZATION In selecting a hospital for yourself, would you prefer one where diseases of children, typhoid fever and surgical cases are all in the same ward, or one where specialization is practiced separate wards, separate nurses and, above all, separate physicians and surgeons for each class of cases? To attain the best results, specialists are as indispensable in dentistry as they are in medicine, for the six dental branches differ from each other as much as any six medical branches. There are nine dentists in this office beside myself all specialists.

BERLIN PAPER FRETS UNDER CENSORSHIP London, April 2 (by mall) A plea for more freedom for the press Is voiced by Der Tag, of which seems to be inviting the fate which has already overtaken the late lamented Hammer of Leipzig: "The power of the press lies in its freedom. That is an axiom which our high military authorities seem to be in danger of forgetting. "The German people are not nursery children, hence there is no reason why they should be spoonfed with such morsels of more or less diluted intelligence as the military censors may deem fit to dole out to them.

"We want more freedom for our press, and we want less veiled official information which either conveys nothing at all or misleads. "If It be remembered how French and English journals criticise their military leaders, their statesmen and their measures, the colorless utterances to which the German press is confined by high authority become the more galling to the intelligence of the people, whose mistrust of the vapid character of the often contradictory communications that are dished up for them naturally grows day by day. "In two cases recently, i even the Kaiser was made the victim of this rigid and impolitic attitude, for communications intended for his personal information were so distorted by the censor that when the Sovereign finally received them he found them absolutely meaningless and useless."

MAY BE SETTLED; WILSON KEEPS ODT Litigation Has Assumed Nation, wide Importance and May Affect Federal Reserve. WILL WILLIAMS RESIGN? Many Members of Congress Have Written, Urging Administration to Close Vp Matter. Eagle Bureau. 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, April 24 The nation wide importance of the litigation be tween the Riggs National Bank of Washington and the Government ap pears to be established beyond question.

Various official announcements and rumors which filled Washington today, some of them of a sensational character, leave no doubt that the fight between Controller of the Currency Williams and the bank has such far reaching possibilities that it may even affect the Federal Reserve system it self. Following a fiat denial at the White House this morning by Secretary Tumulty that the President had person- ally taken over any investigation of the Rlggs Bank case, which was in reply to certain published reports, came a statement from the side of the bank that the result of a poll taken among other national banks of the country was to the effect that they were "up In arms' against the Controller and were in sympathy with tha Riyys Institution. In quarters closely in touch with financial matters, the prediction was being made today that thn case of the Riggs Bank versus Williams will never reach final adjudication in the courts, because the Government will avoid such a crisis, but that there will be a settlement of the controversy, with an unofficial admonition to both the Controller's office and the Rlggs Bank to "behave" in the future. There are rumors that, when the time Is propitious, Controller Williams will hand in his resignation, although this, of course, is strenuously denied at the Treasury Department. There was another report today that Attorney General Gregory and Louis D.

Brandeis, special counsel for the Government in the bank i-ase, had re- fiorted to the White House, after gong over the case, that they did not consider the position of the Treasury Department to be defensible. There Is also a report that the Treasury Department, which, relying upon me jjepartment of Justice to I handle the bank case, is without -knowledge as to the Attorney Gener- policy, a report which is hv no means the first indication of a lack of harmony between the Treasury partment and the Attorney General in rrthe conduct of litigation. i While there is a lull in the legal proceedings, wmcn will not reach "court for a hearing until May 12, Is none in the political and other aspects of the case. There is strong evidence of pressure to bring about a compromise between the bank and the Government. Letters from members of Congress are reported to be arriving in Wash-: ington, urgihg some sort of settlement, largely for the purpose of making things easier tor the Administration.

The view is being taken in some quar-: ters that the success of the Federal Reserve System, still in its infancy, depends to a considerable extent upon the litigation begun by the bank against treasury officials. It was said in behalf of the bank to-r. day that replies had been received from all but twenty of the national banks of the country to whom the Rlggs people had sent an account of the trouble between themselves and the Treasury Department. The consensus of such replies. It was declared, was to express strong sympathy with the bank.

On official of the American Banks Association is reported to have written that the Federal Reserve Sys tem would be seriously affected unless there was a change in the attitude of the Controller office toward the Riggs bank. The Rlggs people are also being Informed that the controversy will be a matter of consideration before bankers conventions and organizations in many quarters. Discounting all rumors and reports today for possible exaggeration, the fact is obvious that the Riggs bank controversy is swiftly assuming national importance in the financial world and is going far beyond anything that was contemplated at the Treasury Department when the policy toward the Rlggs bank was decided upon and followed.
