Apparent Reason.
-Patrolmen Put On Guard to See He
Does Not Got Back.

A policeman stood to-day, Just as one
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 8. Wein-
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 . fair
average of 500 q month to prevent 8.
Weinberg from conducting his business.
There are two newsstands in the cor
responding spot on the opposite corner
across the avenue In front Of Jimmy
Wakely's saloon. There Is a sGundly
established fruit stand under the stairs
across the street on the southwest cor
ner.
Still the people Of New York are pay
ing $500 a year to keep q newsstand
away from the north west corLer under
the stairs.
Weinberg Ia permitted to run a small
stand Of two tables against the mag
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
is the story, or a part Of it, as the
whole Is so diversified, ramihed and
various that 1t would take q fair-sixed
book to tell 1t.
There Is q newspaper advertising office
in the area basement at that corner. 1t
