PIECE OFF MS HOUSE.
Adjoining Owner Claims ] 81 Inches Of
the Propert,-The House Has stood for
Forty Years and the Title Has Been
Clear Since 1873, Col. bartlett Says.

Col Franklin Bartlett Of the Twenty
second Regiment was leaving his home
at 20 West Twentieth street yesterday
morning when he saw n stone-mason chop.
ping away on the west wall of the house.
The man was one of the workmen who
have been excavating for a new apart
ment house at -.
Col Bartlett asked the man what he was
doing. The stonemason replied that he
was taking off an inch-and three quarters
slice of the wall and had already gone up
four feet from the ground.
After some more questions. which were
not answered to Col. Bartlett's satisfac-
ton by the stonemason, who said he was
Charles Nystrom, Col. Bartlett went 30
the mans employer, George Hultgrem
of 4O8 West Forty-eghth street, and asked
him by what right the mason was running
the wall
The employer said he had been informed
that Col. Bartlett's house extended an inch
and three-quarters beyond the property
line
we need that space for this new house.
and We are taking it, he said.
Col. Bartlett got Policeman Craven and
had Nystrom and Hultgrem arrested. They
were taken to the Jefferson Market police
court. where Col. Bartlett made a charge
Vi HldlIclous iI1ScHlel against tne par.
After learning the nature Of the case,
Magistrate Brann paroled the men for ex-
animation next Tuesday, bit warned them
not to touch Col. Bartletts wall in the mean
time.
Col. Bartlett said last night that he would
get an injunction against the men who
are doing the work nj Il door and that he
would also bring suit for the damage
already done. Col. Bartlett has owned
the house for ten years and has spent
$50 900 there In improvements alone.
The house, he says. is exactly twenty
eight feet wide, the width allowed by his
title. The property was once held by
Sir Peter Warren. who. on March 81, 1871,
decided II In trust to his daughter. Lady
Southampton. This deed Col. Bartlett
now has in his possession
The house has been here forty years,
said Col. Bartlett last night. 'and the title
for IL certainly antedates that Of any otheI
house on adjacent property."

not more than 10 or II insisted that they
were beyond the legal age.
All of those were turned over to the cafe
Of Rabbi krauskopf and his assistants, and
under their gentle questioning many OF
them let out secrets of their lives and wept.
Rabbi Krauskopf and his party took note
of all cases where there seemed 10 be hope
Of retaining the fallen ones, and later
efforts will be made to provide these girls
with homes.
1t was y o'clock when the last prisoner
was brought in and the cell room was filed
with a swearing, singing, sobbing crowd.
Magistrate Koohersperger took his seat
in the Central Station and efforts were
made to drag out the story of how the
ranks of vice are recruited.
Make these girls tell the TRUTH" your
Honor" said Director En- Ilish. They did
not come 10 such life of their own free will.
We have evidence that band exists that
has for It's purpose the Turing Of young
girls from their homes and selling them
into lives of shame. II extends from Phila-
delphia to New York and to the other side
of the Atlantic II is not merely to suppress
these few places that we are aiming We
want to break up this wholesale traffic in
human souls and punish the men who have
reaped the profits from such revolving
trade"
The girls from the house at AL North
Tenth street testified they had been shipped
| here from Europe. They were virtually
kept prisoners. Their meals were brou sht
| in to them sometimes by man, sometimes
| by a boy. They handed over the money
! they had received when they go, their
m, ais. Many Ct the prisoners told most
pitiful stories
| Dr. krauskopf made the following st ate
ment after the hearing:
1 The department has been engaged for
| long time in ferretirg out these places.
II has gore to work admirably, quietly and
| in a determined manner and has succeeded
in locating a number of houses where very
young women are kept The department
has found that many of these houses are
supplied with young women through agents
81 oned abroad: that they are sent &c
New York and distributed from there &c
| Philadelphia Baltimore and other cities.
| .Nearly all of the girls have been lurco
| here under various promises. that of mar.
rage being favorte. Many Of them come
here, helpless. without money and unable
to speak the language. but all are met al

we are determined to clear the city OF
the stain Our main object will be TO ge
at the men back Of this traffic, and we vii
| leave no stone unturned.
DR.. Krauskopf said that associated il
the work were several charitable Institutions
including the Magdaen Home, the Midnigh
Mission and the Council Of Jewish Women
At midnight the prisoners were taken bacl
to their cells and the hearings were post
