for the construction of a dwelling en-
bodying plans of an original and unique
style of architecture Speaking on the
outlook for the promised influx of capt.
tai which the land owners of this sec
tion have persistently claimed would
cause the market to rally during the
summer, Mr.. Bradt expresses himself
as hopeful that such will be the case,
but makes no complaint of conditions
as they are at the present time. In
a recent interview on the subject Mr..
Bradt said: 80 far as 1 am concerned
the market is all that could be ex-
pected and is fully in keeping with
the demand for property at contiguous
beach resorts. Because of the un-
precedented boom of last summer a
number of agents have lived in hopes
of reoccurance of just such activity.
but they appear to be slowly giving up.
The firms that were established on a
sound business basis, those that had
something other to depend on than a
stray investor are just as strong and
much buster today than ever they
were before the boom and It is not
among this latter class that discour-
agement or financial weakness is no.
ticeable." Mr. Bradt in addition to
having the full management of all of
Mr.. Kinney's properties here has a
number of the most attractive buys in
the entire bay section on his lists and
enjoys the reputation of being best
posted, as we'll as one of the most
reliable of the numerous manipulators
of Santa Monica bay realty.

Activity on the part of the railway
company in making arrangements for
the immediate improvement of it's prop
erty here is causing a healthy stir in
real estate circles and a decided ad-
vance is apparent in the number of
transaction reported by dealers within
the last few days. The railway is now,
according to statements from various
sources, considering plans for the con-
struction of depots, designed on the
mission style Of architecture, one of
which will be on the east side of Trolley
way between Pier avenue and Marine
street, and one at Windward avenue,
Venice. Another Improvement already
well under way is the filling in of sew
eral acres of land on Trolleyway, i'm
1nediately north of Pier avenue, which
locality, it is said, the railway officials
have given favorable consideration in
the selection of an enlarged freight de-
pot and car terminus. During the week
the company put several large gangs of
men at work laying a third row of
tracks along the right of way between
Sunset and Loreei avenues this i'm
proVement being made, it is said in an
ticipation of a tremendous summer
business.

SONGS TO SPEED CANAL WORK
Music Is Found to Be Only Means
of Squirting Indolent Jamaican
Negro on to Labor
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
WASHINGTON, June 3O.-Digging of
the Panama canal from now on will be
one grand sweet song. Those in charge
of the digging end Of the work have
discovered that the tropical negroes can
work faster when they sing. on the
big ditch" section bosses have been
turned into music teachers, timekeepers
to choirmasters and popular songs have
replaced the handy machete and time
book as incentives to labor.
Ever since the canal started, getting
an efficient days work out of the indo-
lent negroes has been the severest prob
lem of the engineers. Since it has
been discovered that they respond to
song like q boy to a circus parade, 1t Is
proposed to equip the ninety-ton steam
shovels at Cuebra cut with calliope at
tachments, place music boxes upon all
work trains and provide graphophones
for the small army of clerks.
The singing of a Jamaican negro is
weird performance, All sounds are
emitted in broad nasa,s and the result
is worse than Chinese orchestra play
ing a Turkish dance. During the con-
struction of the water works in Panama
the noise of the droning laborers was so
disquieting to the American clerks in
the main offices that stringent orders
were given to abate it.
A Jamaican cannot go through the
motions of working unless he is singing
or whistling. Along the canal line,
where only the snakes and yellow fever
mosquitoes are disturbed by the sing
ing, the bosses have drilled the gangs
in choruses Several have composed
words which are set to meter. With
the minds fixed on the words and their
bodies moving in harmony to the tune,
the laborers forget that they are work.
ing and considerable digging is accom-
plished.
The most successful of the impromptu
composers has compiled a selection en-
titled Down, Men, Down." 1t is said
to presage the completion of the canal.
Others use the time-worn 'Yo, heave,
ho!'' but the majority follow the Jamai
can songs. which consist of syllables
unintelligible to the American ear.

NEW YORK, June 30--The faith of
Hyman Karp of Al Essex street in the
wonders of American invention are now
dashed. Karp is 40 years old, but one
American invention has aged his ap-
pearance to go in the last few months.
Happy days and prosperous were
they for Hyman Karp when he sold
strawberry soda and slabs of ice cream
on the east side. Then came young
man who grew very friendly with
Hyman Karp saying that he knew
Hyman's home folks in Russia. One
night the friend showed Hyman a little
box, a wonderful American invention,
that turned bank notes into notes of a
double denomination. Every time a 81
bill was put in at one end of the box
the friend could take out 50 bill at the
other end. The box wouldn't handle
anything above $40 bills.
Hyman dreamed about the box at
nights. In the days, too, he dreamed
about it, so that his customers noticed
that sometimes he would put in lemon
flavor for strawberry. In the end Hy-
man sold his soda water business for
$1QS5, that the bills might be doubled
in the wonderful box. The bills were
put into the box. Lo, they got caught
in the machinery. The friend took 1t
out to fix it.
Hyman Karp found work as best he
could, anywhere, sometimes working
in the fields near the city, but he came
back at nights to look for his friend
who had the box. On Saturday night
he saw him at Houston and the Bowery.
He had him arrested.

silk hats, with their wives and little
children, the party numbering fifty,
climbed into Aaron Seesman's rub
berneck automobile" late yesterday and
16-year-old Dora Pechter and Jacob
Greenbaum of jamaica. The cere-
mony, which attracted several hundred
persons, took place in front of the
young womans home, 20 Pitt street.
Before Sessman became the owner of
"rubberneck automobile he was a
blacksmith on Pike street. He decided
to become an automobilist, and friends
suggested that he buy q touring car in
which East Siders could ride up Fifth
avenue and Riverside drive. He took
the advise and began to show the sights
to the curious ones of the lower portion
of the city. one day Miss Pechter came
along.
when is the engagement to be an
nounced?" asked Sessman.
"Soon," replied Miss Pechter.
IT dare you to become engaged in my
'rubberneck car" said Sessman.
Just to show you that you can't
dare me I will announce my engage
ment from the autombile," said Miss
Pechter.
Long before the machine arrived yes
terday scores of persons came flocking
from Grand, Canal, Broome and De-
lancey streets. When the machine, in
charge of Sessman, stopped near
Pechter's bakery more than 400 persons
surrounded it.
At 4 o'clock Miss Pechter appeared
wearing a light gray silk gown and
carrying large American Beauty roses.
She was accompanied by Mr.. Green
baum Then the crowd began to cheer
"Mazetuv, Mazeltuv!" which means Il
congratulate you"
Invited guests were told to get
aboard the machine. Then Miss
Pechter clasped her sweetheart's right
hand and, amid loud cheering, the en-
gagement was announced. AS Green
baum started to place diamond ring
on Miss Pechter's finger Sessman turn
ed on the power and the machine
turned toward the Williamsburg
bridge, the crowd running after it. The
party went to Jamaica. the home of Mr..
Greenbaum, where a festival was held.
