the park commissioner to fit out the sea

public and to make it a special resort for
women and children.
He will be able this year. because Of

a beginning in establishing the park.
President Swanstrom, of Brooklyn, says:
81 believe the city can make no expendi-

the east side and those who do not care
to go to the numerous pay resorts can
get all the sea air they want free

Beef Trust OyershOOts the Mark.
In its eagerness to corner the principal
necessity of life the beef trust has been
fooled. 1t tried to corner the country
market, and, to its grief, has come out a
| loser by several thousands of dollars
The combination started in three months
ago to buy up all the chickens, ducks
and put them in refrgerating plants to
keep for the Jewish holidays, which be-
gin next week. After going to all this
expense the trust began to ship its goods
| into the market, expecting to get at
| least 16 cents a pound tor the stock The
| promoters of the scheme were dlsappoint-
ed, however. Their game was blocked by
the poultry raisers in Indiana and Ken
| lucky, who held onto their goods and sent
| them here week ago. The result was
that the market was flooded when the
| poultry owned by the SWift-Armour
crowd got here and they were glad to
get Is cents a pound for their stock. 1t
was the first time in many years that
| the beef trust had been defeated at its
own game, and the butchers are elated
More poultry is consumed during the
| Jewish holidays than at any other time
In the year, and the agents of the trust
| conceived brilliant scheme to enrich
their employers. They went to all the
poultry ra1Sers in the country and offered
10 cents a pound for live poultry. This
was good price and the raisers sold
When the agents got to Indiana how
ever, the shrewd HOosiers knew that
| something was in the air and they held
| a meeting. The result was that they de-
| cided not to sell to the agents of the
| trust but the latter did not take the
| trouble of reporting the condition Of af-
| fairs to their employers.
| Ihey began to ship the poultry East
! last week and their triumph soon was
| turned into CONSERVATION. The first
| batch was sent to the markets in this
city. The agents of the trust offered the
| goods for is cents, and when the lob
bers refused them the agents were sur
prised.
Through the deal the trust has lost
many thousands of dollars which have
gone into the pockets of the retailers
and which will enable them to continue
In business little while longer.
Policy Headquarters Raided.
While thousands of busy men and
| women were passing Broadway and Full
| ton street soon after noon recently, a
raid was made by the officers of Capt
! +. Norton Goddards Anti-Policy society
| on a place which is said to be the clear
ing house for three dozen policy shops
| which do business in the lower section
| or the city AS a result Broadway was
| thronged with crowd to which such an
| incident was novelty, and they re-
NAMED while three prisoners and a GUAM
ny OF Polcy paraphernalia were loaded
Ahlo d pdLroI wagon and carried AWAY
For several weeks the agents Of fba
| society nave watched the place and some
OF them We're enabled to enter and pa+
| evidence which, they believe, will be suf
| hcient to convict the men captured

| place there was none in the rooms but
1 those who were taken prisoners. Rut
| that there was some foundation for tho
| statement that the den was one of i'm
portance in the game was declared proved
| by the fact that, when the men were
| taken to court 'Dolph'' Jansen, who is
| supposed to be the right hand man of
| Al Adams, who is said to be the head
| or the game in this city, was an in

Mrs. Parsons. who is an appointee of

the district, recently visited one of the

plant in order that all the children might
