NATION ON RUIN'S ROAD, SAYS
EX-SENATOR JULIUS C. BURROWS
London, Aug. 12. Ex-Benator Julius
Caesar Burrows of Kalamaioo la taking
his flrat vacation In 35 years. He la at
Placid Beach. Mr. Burrown haa a strong
fear that the United States la a-olng to
the demnitlon bowwow. He says that
politically a process of disintegration
has set In In both parties. The cry for
primaries is in the air and the direct
election of senators Is coming. He
thinks It likely that the next thin will
be the direct election of presidents. Ho
lc afraid that Americans are speeding
toward th breakers. The abolition of
the parties may niian pure democracy
but the fat hern of the government sure
ly intend.-d that there should be a rep
r,fini,llvf Hemorruc v. Never In his
tory has there been a pure democracy
that laoted. Without party organization
thero will be anarchy, lie said. Askrd
whwn the dlie condition was due, Mr.
Burrows shook nix l ead sadly.
'Will it come lufoie the next elec
tion." he was asked
General Dissolution Sear.
"I cant say. it may act in at any
moment." was the dismal response
The hoube of representatives Is
Democratic, while the senate Is not
Republican. There Is a general mix
up and It looks like a general dlsso
lutlon will surely follow."
Mr. Burrows was asked if there
would not be a new lineup and pos
sibly a m-w third party. Ho replied
that he did not think so.
"It will tend along the lines 1 have
Indicated." he continued.
"How about the candidates in cass
there Is no immediate dissolution?" he
was asked
Mr. Burrows said that Democratically
It appeared that it would be cither the
professor or the judge, referring to Wil
son and Harmon. Champ Clark he said
had the bee buzzing and he expected
that Clark would be put forward. As
far as the Republicans were concerned,
Taft had been a good, sincere and up
right president and ought to be re
nominated and reelected. La Kollette
he said was out with the scalping
knife but cannot dominate the conven
tion. Thirty-two Tsar Inoujh.
Asked how he liked being an ex
senator, Julius Caesar sat up and
snapped out that he would not care to
be a senator as the senate was at pres
ent constituted. He had been 16 years
in the house and 15 years in the senate
and that was about enough. He Is
going to Paris tomorrow and from there
to Vichy.

but he Is taking care of himself. He

"We have a tentative plan for the

FATHER KNICKERBOCKER BUILDS
BATHHOUSE FOR HIS FAMILY
(1'nlted Press Leased Wire.)
- New York, Aug. 12 There waa Joy
and happiness among New York's poor
today, particularly among the "kids"
who know no keener delight than to
sport In the water. About 12,000 of
them, big and little, boys and glrlB,
men and women, but all "kids" In the
manifestation of their pleasure, had a
bath. Not a bucket or djshpan or the
dreaded "scrubbing" In a waah tub tn
a dark room of the congested tene
ment district, but a rreal "dip" In the
big ocean.
It was the occasion of the actual
opening of New York's new municipal
bath house at Coney island the lar
- gest bath house In the world. Once
persuaded of the value and importance
of such an institution In relation to
the health and pleasure of the poor
classes of New York, the city fathers
did not go half way but provided a
magnificent place on the beach at
Coney island which can accommodate
at one time the population of a good
sized city.
To the Inland dweller who knows
from his geography that there are miles
of sandy beaches In the vicinity of
New York, it may be news that there
are thousands and thousands of boys
and girls and men and women in the
big metropolis, who. during the intense
heat of the long summer months, 'never
have the pleasure and benefit of a
cooling and invigorating dip In the
ocean. The majority of the beaches
are privately owned and they are made
to bring In a golden harvest during the
summer. The ocean Is free If you can
get to It but Its san,dy boundaries are
not.
Ths Cost of Baaoh run.
To get to the water you usually
have to pass through a privately owned
bath house. 'Swimming suits cost 25
cents the poor ones immediately mark
you upon the beach as "poor." If you
re a little particular, have a graceful
figure, which you no doubt wish to
hide under coarse, slovenly garments
that weigh you down like lead, you may
find something for 60 cents, but more
likely tt will be 76 cents. If you bring
your own suit, its 25 cents anyway. If
your "kids" merely ant to build sand
houses and forts and run races up and
down the beach, the toll is R and 10
cents for each. Add this to the neces
sary car, train or boat fare. Is it any
wonder that many of New York's chil
dren have ao seldom and soma never
ported In the waves of the Atlantlo
ocean?
But that is changed now. The pleas
ure so long denied them has finally
been provided. Following the general
trend of paternalism of municipal gov
ernments. New York has thought of lta
poor and provided them with tha finest
free ocean bathing facilities of any
city In tha country and accommodating
a greater number at one time than any
similar institution In the world.
The city has slowly been acquiring
-ocean frontage, particularly close in
where It would be easily accessible at
the lowest car and boat fares. Upon a
part cf this frontage at Coney Island,
sometimes called th "city's play
ground," a three story concrete bath
house has been built covering almost an
acre of ground.
The first floor is divided between
men and women, the second floor is ex
clusively for women and the third ex
clusively for men. There are 850 rooms
tn the building. Each room contains
eight dressing lockers, making a total
of 6800 lockers. It is estimated that
with three shifts a day during the hot
spells, particularly on Saturdays and
Sundays, 21,000 people can be ac
commodated. The construction, ar
rangements and conveniences are of the
best and most up to date. There are
rest rooms, dry rooms and even curling
Irons for the women. Suits can be
rented at a nominal price, you can bring
your own suit and bathe entirely free
or' for a couple of pennies get a towel.
As yet the building Is hot quite com
pleted, but a large part of it is avail
able. There was formal opening two
weeks ago, but today came ths actual
opening when the rooms and lockers
'wsra available for the first time.
t, Jto Xr t VMS Bath HOuss. .
There Is no key to this building and
there shall be none," said Comptroller
William. A. Prendergsst. 'This place is
for the use of the public and no on
will b barred. ,f It would be a poor mu-
nlcipal bath house that had to be locked
against the people."
A keen satisfaction and feeling that
they had accomplished what would be
a benefit and pleasure to many thou
sands in New York, was the reward of
all who had anything to do with the
construction of the big bath house,
which was largely fathered by William
P. McLoughlln. It needed but a glance
at the picturesque and somewhat motely
throng to see that the opportunities of
fered by the municipal bath house were
keenly appreciated.
There were children of all shades and
colors and from many sections of New
York and Brooklyn Tt wnan't n At
lantic' City beach dress parade. No
shimmering silk suits and stockings of
t. i .., , ' .
isicai in swimming sogs, worn
for "show." But there were many novel
effects even more picturesque and It
didn't hurt them to get wet. 'ISawed
off" pants answered many a kid for
trunks, ' some of whom were not Dar
about the belt. Foreigners who had
never Deen tn a bathing suit, brought an
extra pair of pants and a shirt and
went Into the surf looking as if they
had on their street clotnes. Among the
little tots it went to the other extreme
of simplicity. But who cared? Every
body was havingv the time of his life.
There were no racial lines.
Many now arsun that th Ht ahrnt
take over Coney Island, the big "play-
grouna, ror the benefit of the public.
And, there already Is a movement on
foot to brlnsr thta ahntit
Mayor Gaynor and other city efflclals '
expressea iqemseives as highly pleased
with the opening of tha municipal bath
house.
