The sun-flecked waters of New Tork Harbor reflected a perfect August sky as the giant Cunard liner Berengaria brought the young heir to the British crown to quarantine. The first official word of welcome was a wireless message from President Coolidge, transmitted from an airplane, which soared high above the liner as she nosed her way in. The Berengaria reached Quarantine at 2:25 p. m. Sir Esme Howard, British ambassador, and a small group of the Prince’s friends were all who greeted him personally, having gone down the bay at noon to meet the liner. No Ceremonies A public welcome such as would have been his had he come to the city, was Impossible because the Prince, after acknowledging the official greetings, had arranged to as I Fume an unofficial holiday role and go without ceremony to Long Island In a private launch. Only In the eager and incessant comment that ran from mouth to mouth—in the pilgrimages to Long Island for a glimpse of Wales passage along the motor choked highways from Oyster Bay—was the ~ public able to express Its excitement and pleasure that the most interesting personality of the old world, from the standpoint of the new, had arrived. For his Royal Highness will be taken from the Berengaria at quarantine by the fifty five foot gasoline launch Black Watch, owned by Robert Graves and will land at Oyster Bay.

No High Hats There will be no ceremony, no high hats, nothing that savors of an official welcome.

PLANS TO REPAIR OLD CITY MARKET HOUSE PROTESTED Commission Objects to Expenditure of $129,069 on Structure With Only % 'Few Years of Life/ NEW BUILDING ADVISED John White Explains Possibility of Paying Boncjs Through Profits, Members of the city market com mission, appointed two years ago by Mayor Shank, protested today against proposal of the board of works to repair and improve the present market house. They Insisted the old structure, including Tomlinson Hall, should be replaced by anew market building and by a hall seating 10,000 persons. An ordinance approving contracts for improvements at the present building is expected to be Introduced in city council Monday night. If the ordinance Is passed, a bond Issue coa'ering the cost of improvements will be asked. The improvements, costing $189,069, include anew floor, a new sanitary system, comfort stations, incinerators, anew sewage system, heating, new stands and sand-blasting of the outside. Recommendations Made The market commission, w-hich is opposing this program on the ground that so much money should not be spent on old buildings which have only a few years of life, consists of John F. White, Mrs. William T. Bailey, Clarence I. Baker, Mrs. C. A. James, Frank Turner and Charles W. Kern. The market commission some time ago went into the whole situation and made recommendations. These recommendations contemplated a new structure to cost approximately $2,000,000. “A modern market house and a hall seating 10.000 people could Jpe erected on the site of the present markethouse and Tomlinson Hall without one cent of cost to the taxpayers," White said. “In this way the city would have anew market and in addition would have the hall which It needs so much. "The improvements contemplated by the board of works would be a serious waste of good money, because the present plant never can be made adequate. The idea of the market commission is to arrange the affairs of the market so that the building would pay for itself. Market proceeds now go into the city general fund and the upkeep of the market is provided by an appropriation from this fund. The commission would have the proceeds of the proposed new market go into a separate fund. The new- structure would be erected from the proceeds of a bond issue. It is anticipated that the market and hall could he maintained out of this fund and that enough surplus would be left to pay Interest on the bonds and retire them as they would come due. Surplus Estimated 1 The commission has estimated that the annual income from the market and tho hall would be $154,000, and that the Interest and maintenance would amount to $115,000 annually during the first years. It points out that, as the bonds were retired, interest payments would be reduced and this surplus increased. The commssiion estimates that in forty years the proposed life of the bonds to be retired last, this surplus would amount tc $2,280,330.

By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—PresIdent Coolidge today summoned the country to practice the simple, home life, elemental virtue of industry, thrift, loyalty, common sense, faith and the Golden Rule before turning to political quackery and panaceas for social evils.” In a speech to the members of the fraternal congress meeting here In which he made no reference to tho Ku-Klux Klan, direct or indirect, as It was thought he might, the President stressed the need of bringing the citizens o the country to a realization of “tho power within ourselves.” "The virtu s he named,” Mr. Coolidge sani, "are fundamental and always work. Before we conclude that the times are out of Joint, that all our institutions have proven a failure, that w'e must have an entire new order of things, we ought to be certain that we have fully availed ourselves of the advantage of the observance of these simple virtues. "It. will he time enough to experiment with proposed substitutes when these have been exhausted.” Mr. Coolidge paid tribute to the fraternal spirit represented by the organization he Is addressing, declaring “it is because the fraternal is attempting to translate these Ideals Into dally life and action that it Is entitled to so much commendation and approval.” Praises Faith

Not to hold this faith appears to me to attempt to fight against the stars in their courses. Such resistance must end in desti uction.” The President deplored the fact that these cardinal virtues had never been fully tested. “Before we hastily conclude that we can disregard them as adequate remedies for much that society desires to correct, we might well remember that they have never been fully tried,” he said. No Substitutes "We are always seeking for something that is new and we are likely to he impressed with whatever promises to make existence easier. No substitutes have ever been found for these virtues. There can be no substitutes. j* “They do not rely for their use or effect on any act of Congress or official sanction of the Government. They have that tremendous practical advantage of being here, now and always within reach of all of us.” Curbing Cause of Fall Miss Nettle Guest, 24, of 767 N.

Secretary of State Hughes is understood to have represented reports from American Charge D’Affaires Bell that war is threatened near the Shanghai-Nanking region of China, where there are many Americans. American business interests are suffering with the tieup of the Shanghai-Pekin railroad.

The 3,000 Americans in Shanghai include more than 1,000 women and children, many of them connected with American missions are believed to be safe, according to reports received in Washington. Americans have mobilized with other members of the foreign quarter into a volunteer corps. This corps together with the special police of the quarter are considered adequate to protect foreigners in the city. According to reports from Shanghai threats of civil war between Chinese leaders grew to serious proportions today. General Wu Pei Fu. leading one of the factions, announced he has emp'oyed a squadron of airplanes piloted by American and British aviators and that the machines wiU leave Shanghai for the front during the day. Meantime, General La, rival war lord, was doing his utmost to recruit other British and American pilots, and it was generally believed airplanes may prove a decisive factor in the fighting believed to be Imminent. A fourth American warship arrived in the harbor today to protect American interests.

Battle Imminent There had been no actual fighting between the rival armies up to this morning, but travelers arriving from Quinsan, where the troops are separated only by a narrow line along the railway, said hostilities could not long be postponed. The actual battle line. It was indicated, will be within thirty miles of Shanghai and both leaders will make every effort to gain control of the city. It is not believed the foreign- section Is in danger however, as a number of British, American and Japanese warships are in the harbor. One thousand Russians, most of them World War veterans have been enlisted in the Shanghai-Che-Kiang army. The foreign and Chinese chambers of commerce both have brought all pressure to bear to restore peace and today sent envoys to the rival war lords urging them again to attempt to reach an agreement. American steamers have been warned by Chinese forts that the outbreak of hostilities is imminent. Martial law was proclaimed day and a censorship established. 450,000 Troops Additional American and British warships have been summoned from Che Fee as It is considered almost certain there will be fighting in the city. There are more than sixty thousand troops in the Quinsan district, thirty miles out of Shanghai. The foreign and Chinese chambers of commerce met together for the first time in history Thursday to plan protection of the city and de vise a scheme for creation of a neutral zone Thousands of Chinese already are fleeing Into the country. Fleets of the rival leaders are steaming toward’ Shanghai, one from Foo Chow and one from Nanking. It is believed their may be a naval engagement during the day. PLAYGROUND DONATED George T.
