THE IMMORAL PUPPET SUPPRESSED.

Carping critics have accused the police Of
Iaxity In the enforcement Of the laws against
gambling. There has been even in the minds
of the general public suspicion that the police
even before the work of the Committee of Fif
teen began, might have reduced the number of
open gambling houses to not more than one in
n block in all events, and when committee of
Tammany Hall presented a map of the city with
black dots on IL to represent gambling places,
and the dots were so black in some localities
that they wholly obliterated the map, 1t was felt
quite widely that the police might do better
than that # really they would put their hearts
into IL.
But now it appears that the police are begin
ming TO realize their duty. 1t seems that hor-
rible kind of gambling has been going on at
Coney Island. Men down there have been
throwing baseballs at puppets. and when man
succeeded in knocking doll down he received
a cigar from the proprietor of the puppets This
was terrible, though singularly enough it had
been going ON for some years apparently un-
noticed But il is all over now. The police

THE STEEL AND CONCRETE TUNNEL.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In your paper of this date there is de-
scription of a new style OF tunnel consisting Of a
steel tube incased in concrete. TO be established
IN the East River Thirty-ninth-st The report
states that the tunnel is the invention Of knight

they are the original inventors OF the peculiar
construction described by your reporter; but. as
II appears probable that the method OF forming

strate its great value TO the people Of greater

that have for years been making efforts 10 per-
suade engineers TO try the plan of making under
water tunnels by the use of thin steel tubes REIN
forced and anchored by concrete sustaining rings

Perhaps some reader interested in such matters
may recoect that in The Tribune Of December T.
1899. I had the privilege OF describing In general
terms a method OF constructing tunnels OF metal
and concrete that bears such a close resemblance
70 the work by Messrs. knight & Lande to
suggest the possibility that the pub. shed proposal
was not without influence their realization. Be
that il may the success Of the style OF
ominOus conjecture on the expedency of spanning

and declares that there is q wonderful future

He suggests that the climate and the habits
OF the people explain at least in part the eager
demand for these instruments. In hot and Ian

less fatiguing TO exchange messages with
