FLAGLER PROJECT STOPS.
Futile Effort To Cross Florida Keys
Cause5 Breakdown.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-A combination
of forces, too great even for his vast
resources has, it is said, caused Henry
M. Flagler to abandon work on his
wonderful sea-going railroad across the
Florida keys, with the Key West termi-
nal still forty miles away and the most
difficult engineering problem still un.
solved.
Already he has spent more than the
$l5,00,000O of the estimated cost, much
of which has been wasted. The com.
pletion Of the work demands many
millions more-just how many no engi'
neer can tell, owing to the unsolved
problem of crossing the Honda channel
Millions must be advanced if the work
is to go on.
Financial worry over the ever -increas-
ing cost Of the road and the impossi-
bility of securing the necessary money
was, his friends declare, the direct cause
of the physical breakdown which Flag
ler suffered last summer. He is still
fretting himself bitterly over the fact
that the work must be abandoned, at
least temporarily, and his state of mind
greatly retards his recovery.

The fatal day set for the destruction
by tidal wave and inundation of all
New York below Sixty-sixth street has
come and the city is still on the map.
When it was foretod last spring in
Italy and Germany to say nothing of
Jersey City by just those seers "who
had predicted the San Francisco earth
quake and the japanese War" that a
large part of the city was to be wiped
out of existence because of its sins
the representations, except as a
source of joking, attracted less atten-
tion than the daily weather forecast.
But as the end of September, the time
for which the cataclysm was set, drew
near, a marked uneasiness began to be
apparent among the mass of foreigners
who make up the population of the East
Side, New York's most ignorant dis
trict. When the day arrived which, ac-
cording to the prophecy, was to be their
last, many thousands refused to work
with the result that hundreds Of sweat
shops were closed. Other thousands
spent the day in consuming liquor pre-
ferring if they must die to prepare for
death in this manner. Hundreds of fam
lies congregated on the roofs of the
highest buildings awaiting the stroke Of
midnight, which was to usher their
doom. When about eight o'clock the
fercest rainstorm which New York has
known in months burst over the city
even the cynics were convinced that
wholesale death was at hand and prim-
eval man began to assert itself in way
that made endless trouble for the police.
OF course no food came and nobody was
drowned, but for hours New York was
on the verge Of serious panic. As a
result Father Knickerbocker is likely

New York's MiIIionaires Are
Feeling Sad.
THINGS LOOK DIFFERENTLY
Bright, Breezy and Careless Gossip
From Gotham-Regarding Ezra Meek
er's Famous Trip Across the American
Continent.

NEW YORK, Oct. Sit is the open
season for multi -millionaires in New
York all the year around, and the mon
ey kings who last year returned laugh
ing from their summer trips abroad
don't SET much to laugh at at present.
Things loo., differently this Fall, and
what with h,es, criminal prosecutions,
threats Of dissolution, suits and poor
stock market, their cup OF trouble is
brimming over. These are sad days for
New York's moneyed magnates. They
are rapidly falling from tier high
state Of aloofness and getting ths same
treatment that is accorded eyeryb.av
else. To have to dodge subpoenas and
their servers during business hours is
bad enough but now the democratic
spirit OF equality is keeping them busy
not to say uncomfortable, in their
hours OF recreation. Pity the sorrows
of the poor money kings who cannot
escape the leveling influence anywhere
The last straw has apparently been
reached, for only last week J. P. Nor.
gan was fined $l55 for having l3 small
trout in his ice box in his Adirondack
camp. Just because the trout season
happens to be over. This in addition to
the $25 for violating the law amounts
to $40 for each fish, a rather high price
even for Morgan in these days of de-
preciated stocks. But the father of the
steel trust is not alone in his tribu-
lation. Poor John d. Rockefeller has
just discovered that acting under the
order of the new Public Utilities Com
mission the New York Central will nc
longer stop its express trains as it used
to do to pick him up at whatever way
station he might happen to be. Here
after he will get just the same service
that the rest of the public does. fine
condition of affairs which may grieve
him as much as the Standard Oil fine
In the light of these events it is rumor-
ed that Rockefeller and Morgan are to

mont, Ryan and others have applied

The arrival OF the giant Lusitania
has done more than anything else to
awaken New York to realization Of
the fact that her dock and harbor fa-
cilities need serious attention If they
are to continue to Accommodate the new
cts boats. The Lusitana indeed had
little water to spare In the new Am
brose chanel just opened, except for
which she never could have reached her
dock. But while a ship too large even
for this channel might be constructed
in year, harbor Improvements to
meet it would require many years lab,
or, fact which has served to empha-
size the need Of systematic and imme-
date development, since what is cited
the busiest harbor in the world cannot
easily retain its title. As a result the
Chamber OF Commerce has appointed
special committee, known as the Ter
minal Committee, to investigate the fa-
cilities for freight handling as they
now exist on the water front and par
ticularly, as might be guessed from the
name, the city's terminal facilities in
the harbor. At present thorough in
yestigation is being made of the Bush
Terminal in Brooklyn, with an eye to
profting by its example. This termi-
nal might indeed serve as a model for
!. great many docks in the world, each
mofe than quarter OF a mile long,
! with great storage and manufacturing
facilities together with more than twen-
ty miles Of railroad, making an ideal
site for the Manufacturer or shipper.
The new committee, however. will have
to break away from the. example Of its
predecessors, and do sonnet ing more
than to merely investigate If Nev York
harbor is to continue to be the firl III
the country and open to all ships how
ever large.
