A policeman stood to-day, just as on"
has stood for the past three months. at
the northwest corner OF Sixth avenue
and Forty-second street. for the sole
and only purpose of preventing S. Vein
berg from placing a NEWSSTAND under
the Elevated stairs at that point.
As the newsdealing day covers two
details Of police the city is paying a fair
average OF 500 month TO prevent s.
Weinberg from conducting his business.
There are two news-siands in the cor
responding spot on the opposite corner
across the avenue in front Of Jimmy
Wakely's saloon. There is sCunilv
established fruit stand under the stairs
across the street on the southwest cor
ner.
Stil the people of New York are pay
ing $500 a year to keep a news stand
away from the north vest corLer under
the stairs.
Weinberg is permitted to run a small
stand OF two tables against the imag-
mary stoop line of the building on the
corner. and the only business OF the po-
liceman Is to see that he does not move
under the stairs.
There must be. at least there should
be. some natural cause for this distinc-
ton drawn to the prejudice OF the north
west corner. Here Is a chance TO draw
conclusions as to the reason. for here

his advertising business, Belasco had a
newsstand under the Elevated stairs in

Just as soon Gs LEVIN bought the
