Time additional stations 'of the Eastern Parkway subway line of the Interborough system will he upend to lay some time between 9 A. M.qnid 1 o'clock this afternoon. Th" hour of opening is dependent upon tlie ic-liumil of some temporary bulkheads and supporting columns between Bet-gen street and the Atlantic avenue station.

The three stations are located at Bergen street. I'laza street and iirnuU) it Museum. It is expected that tlie completion of these three stations to a point that will admit of passenger operation will add approximately 40,000 passengers to the difily traffic on tho newly opened Eastern I'arknny-Nostrand avenue line. The line at present Is earning approximately 130,000 passengers daily." At the beginning of the strike on the Brooklyn Rapid Transit section six weeks ago, the traffic on the new line reached a maximum of 240,000 passengers a day. The delay in opening tho local stations at Bergen street.

Plaza street and Brooklyn Museum was due to the failure of the construction contractor to carry on the work as scheduled. The contractor defaulted on July 8 last, and Transit Construction Commissioner John II. Delaney the following day engaged a force of men to complete Ihe entire section under his personal direction. Just prior to the opening of the Eastern Parkway line the Commissioner had close to four hundred men at work dally on tho abandoned contract. Tho construction work adjaeont' to the Bergen street, Plaza stroet and Brooklyn Museum stations was not as well advanced as on other sections, and for that reason these stations were not opened when initial operation commenced.

The stations, it is expected; will he largely "fed from the surface car linos on Flatbush avenue, Bergen street, Park Slope, Vanderbilt avenue, avenue and the I-Ioyt-SuckeXt street lines. UnUeti tho terms of the operating contract, the station located 'In front of the Brooklyn Museum whs originally designated as "Institute Park." The directors of the Brooklyn Museum and residents of tho vicinity, however, petitioned for a change of namo, and Transit Construction Commissioner Delaney recently officially changed tlie title of the station from Institute Park, to Brooklyn Museum-Eastern Parkway.

'Die Board of Kstlmate has sue- ceeued in cutting the 1921 city budget down to $347, 203,000.

The tax rate ledm-ed 2 8., far below to- rate predicted. Controller 'iaig gac out these figures last night inakuig meeting of the Board male. Been use of the numerous demands: upon the Board by heads of tlie differ- out city department, the Board de- 1 euted to treat the sith-div lsiniis of the city government alike. To be fair to all, so that nunc wyuld feel that they were being ilisi riininate.l against, the' Boaid adopted a policy, suggested by Controller Craig, not to Icntntivelv allow anv department any more to ciirrv on its next ear's work than received in the budget of 1920. Evt under tins retrenchment icy, because of the greatlv fnercasJ if'qiH'strf, the city will be foieeil to, raise by taxation all (he money it ratn under the Slab1 eonst it ut urn.

"If the doctors, attending physicians, superintendents and authorities of tins department are incompetent to judge as to what they need in medical Blip-plies mill clothing for tlie city's wards, they should lie turned down upon the testimony of more competent authority than the above mentioned men. "As far as tlie Department of Fubiic Welfare is concerned, tho A cadency of Medicine or any other reputable medical authority would be agreeable, a protection to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment. I know there is no member of tho Board of Estimate who wants to stand for lack of clothing and proper medical suppliea in the great hospitals controlled by the city.

Examiner Kustas is utterly Inhuman, heartleza and antagonistic, and has a way of presemjng misstatement to make them appear like facts. Upon the recommendations ado by him, at Jaast 1,200 in IVdn department would be without bliinketM and sheets, and if an epidemic should occur, we would.be forced to go Into the open market and buy at random. If the department had accepted hiR recommendations last year for the supplies of this year, there would have been a deficiency of more than $250,000 beyond the present on codes handled by him." The letter also contained a lengthy 'attack on Examiner Cahill, in which the Commissioner called in question the Examiner's status as' a' physician. The Commissioner said tlint two or three of tho now buildings on Randall's Island are unoccupied, and have been for a year, that If the Ex-imtners' report is adopted these buildings will remain unoccupied for another year at least. The Board will meet again tomorrow, at which time it is expected the tentative budget of about S3S0, 000,000 will he adopted.

The figure will be reduced to $347, 303, O' Rl for the. final budget. SHIP ASHORE AT JAMAICA, PASSENGERS ARE SAFE Kingston, Jamaica, Oct. 0. The United Fruit Company liner Abangarez went ashore off tho lighthouse here today, Passengers were unharmed.

The blight of not knowing what to give has killed many infant impulses. To confound the vould-be giver with doubts, fears and perplexities, is to blight the flowers love and affection. To reveal the guiding star of the objective persons desires is to spread the seeds of flowered hopes. Christmas is coming! The herald of its coming each, year are preachments to SHOP EARLY.

Futile Who wouldnt like to shop arly ahy gift impulses, if perplexities were removgl? Nor do gift receivers return gifts for exchange merely for the pleasure of it. Preaching against returns and exchanges does no good as long as guess-the-gift system is in use. Folk doAt need to be coaxed to do what they want to do; they need to be helped. To tell you exactly the present, with description, color, size, that the other person would' like to receive from you, would be a real service, wouldnt it? With such a service therell be no need for preaching either to the giver or, receiver. GIFT GRANNY has shown us how to render this service.

Were going to give you facts, not fancies, and were going to, show you the actual items in the actual handwriting of the friend or relative that youre interested in. No magic, -no sorcery, just a simple homely-happy way of relieving you of all gift perplexities and attendant evils.

"Since convictions were impossible in the courts, the Fremler continued, it is no wonder that the policemen arriving on the scene after killings shot the murderers. Thus it came about that they were called 'reprisals. The police concluded that the lime had arrived to defend themselves.

The Premier attacked the various concessions to the Irish Republicans am as were proposed by former Premier Herbert II.

CORK CITY HALL BURNED. lamdou. Oct. 9. Intense interest in whether virtual condoning of police reprisals in Ireland will result in suppression of Sinn Fein attacks or precipitate more bloody fighting, characterized the Irish situation tonight.

A large body of polico surrounded thd City Hail in Cork, throwing Incendiary bombs' into the structure and with rifle fire keeping firemen away until the building was aflame.

Gov. Cox, speaking here tonight, sarcastically characterized Theodore Roosevelt, as a "misguided Juvenile statesman, and; declared his recent statements that, the round! of the League of Nation can declare war for tho lnlted Ftates and order American troops abroad, arc utterly "absurd. "Some real friend of the great Roosevelt, If there ufo any who are on speaking terms with the reactionary crowd now in control of the Republican party, should set this boy right concerning the fundamentals of the league." the Governor said. "Article X. doesn't give the league cbuncll power to declare war for tho United State, he declared emphatically.

"Young Roosevelt should be told that a learned, committee of the American Bar Association reported in specific language that under Article the power to declaro war is not delegated to the League," Cox said. Cox's attack on Hoosevelt was caused by publication of a telegram which tha latter had sent to Judge Humphries of Kentucky. "It 1 a pitiable spectacle to see this son of a great sire shamelessly paraded before the public. the Governor continued. "Out of respect for the memory of his illustrious father, someone should take this misguided Juvenile statesman aside and in primer fashion make plain really ought to Be obvious.

Harding charged tonight, speaking here in the centre of America's gienr oil Held. Orcat Britain controls over 90 cer rent, of the world's known oil supplv, said, quoting an unnamed British authoiity, "The plain fact is, Senator Harding usaerted, "that while our Government lias been attempting to, orgauiz model state of society, embracing tho entire human race, in which war should be forever impossible, other great Stales have been looking about for tlie means to dominate the petroleum production of tin; world, because of their conviction That in the control ul petroleum they might find tho power to control commerce, tiude an i industry of the. twentieth century woi Id.

Harding declared that perhaps discussion of this kind Is a lut to i practical to interest persons who are eoncerned only in academic snd idealistic aspirations.

Chicago, Oct, 9. Plans to extend its investigation into the National League With possiblo Indictments of three players, were made tonight by tha Cook County Grand Jury probing alleged baseball crookedness.

Tho probe will be continued as soon as a number of players now engaged in tho inter-league classic are available as witnesses, according to Henry H. Brigham, 'foreman of the Jury.

The names of some members of tho alleged pool are known to Smith.

One, tin said, is a man well known in flnan. cial circles, while the business standing of others is high. It is possible, however, he thinks, that other participants might have effected tho alleged bribery.
