NEW YORK, June t6-The disclos-
ures anent the methods employed by
the beef trust i'm Packlngtown have not
only made New York sit up and take
notlce-they have caused New York to
rise to its feet and remain standing
Pork products have been taken off the
bills Of fare of even the cheapest res
taurants and only John Chinaman-the
Neil Reynolds document has not been
printed in the Chinese papers yet-con-
tinUes to allay his hunger with the
country" sausage. And as for canned
meats - groceries and delicatessens
which carry them in stock are showing
them into the farthest corner of their
shelves, for i'm the present frame Of
mind of the New York public it would
be like haunting red flag in front Of
a bull to offer canned products from the
Chicago stock yards, The only really
happy food purveyors are the "physi-
cal culture" and vegetarian restaurants.
They are doing rushing business.
Managers of big restaurants about
town report a decided falling off in
the demand for meats on the part of
their customers. The free lunch counter,
TOO has suffered keenly. Piles of meat
sandwiches are permitted to remain ON
the plates while a general onslaught is
made on the cheese and picked fish
The frankfurter man is threatened with
bankruptcy. The sale of hot dog"
has fallen off amazingly, even the news
boys taking the hint and transferring
their allegiance to some other kind of
delicacy. Former lovers of frank
furters seem of the opinion that the
term hot dog" by which the sausage
is known, cannot longer be accepted as
a joke.
Wall Streets Veteran Cop
"Bub," the chief of the Old Slip po-
lice station, is off duty-he is dead. He
was Joseph Eaton, the big, black
haired copper who has been in and
about Wall street for more than TWEEN
ty years and in whose presence every
millionaire felt safe. He was found
dead in bed yesterday. To his inti-
mates Eaton was known only as "Bub"
J. Pierpont Morgan never called him
anything else. For years when the her
culean policeman was covering a beat
which took him to the corner of Wall
and Broad streets, in front of the great
financier's office, he was always on
hand to say Good morning" to the
banker Many other bankers in the
financial district knew the big police
man. Alexander e. Orr, president of
the New York Life Insurance company;
Edward M. Shepard and former Con-
troller Edward NJ. Grout knew him well
and were his friends. "Bub" died poor
he was an honest cop.
To Make the Subway Cool
At last some steps are being taken to
cool the heated air of the subway. This
problem has caused more veXation and
downright cussedness in New York
than has any other during the past
couple of years. Vents for the super
heated air are being made at convenient
distances and it is thought this will
prove a satisfactory system of general
ventilation. The introduction of pure
air by pumping or otherwise, to drive
out the used air, is not such an easy
matter; but the solution of the problem
is confidently looked forward to. Could
the marlborough offer to its patrons not
only less undesirable air to breathe and
less oppressive temperatures, but really
stimulating conditions in both direc
tons, the subway would at once become
the pride of New York above all other
transportation conveniences.
Raepickers' Paradise
Surely Brooklyn is the ragpickers'
paradise. Thousands of these men
swarm the streets with their jingling,
nerve-racking bells, especially during
the early morning hours. They have
grown so bold because of lack of re-
straint as to pay no attention whatever
to the restrictions supposed to be placed
upon them. 1t is not uncommon to
hear them as early as o'clock in the
morning, and many are the complaints
that have been made by citizens who
have been, and are being, awakened
from their SAUNDERS by the rag man.
Another Fiance for Miss Barrymore?
Is Ethel Barrymore to be married to
Ernest Lawford? There were signs of
suppressed excitement at the Lambs
and other actors clubs. It was whis-
pered at the Lambs, it was commented
upon at the Brook, it was boldly stated
at the Stollers', and it was spoken of
as an assured fact at the Broadway
chop houses, that the matter was set
