Police Enforce the Law.
Incidentally the police department
demonstrated that 1t was equally ef-
fective In enforcing obnoxious or pop
ular statutes. The aldermen win meet
Tuesday to modify the ordinances ~
far as their authority goes.
There were few attempts to evade
the law following Police Commissioner
Bingham's announcement that all Sum
day entertainments must cease, Ia ac-
cordance with Justice O'Gorman's In
terpretation Of the Sunday closing act.
Rest Case With People.
The amusement promoters held to
their avowed intention Of resting their
cases with the people, confident that
public opinion would demand modi-
tication Of law which prohibited al
sorts Of amdsement On the Lords day.
The effect Of the Sunday closing was
everywhere apparent. Broadway was
deserted except for those who found
nothing better to do than to walk the
streets.

HARRIlfAN TO BUILD.
Bugs Plot in Fifth 4venue for HIS
NeSC York City Home.

E H. Hartman has bought for S65OCOO
plot with a frontage of 20 feet in the avenue
and of 13O feet in the street at the northeast
corner Of SD street and Fifth avenue. He VIII
build a house for his occupancy on the
plot. He has occupied for some months the
premises No. II East 62d street. John n. Gold
ing was the broker in the transaction and Fred
erick G. Bourne the seller Of the parcel.
The site TO be improved was formerly part
of the Hotel Langham property. which had a
frontage of 10 feet in the avenue and 13O feet
in the street The hotel property was bought in
1904 by w D. Sloane and W. K. Vanderbilt TO
preserve the residential character Of the street.
They sold in 1904 the corner plot. 3ox130 feet,
to J. Henry Smith. who died last week
Mr.. Smith was planning TO erect house on
the plot for his own when he bought the W.
C. Whitney house at 6sth street and Fifth ave-
nue. Mr. Smith sold the corner parcel TO Mr..
Bourne about two years ago for 100000, the
buyer agreeing to pay the brokerage commits
sion Of $4,000 Mr.. Bourne abandoned his plans
for improving the site with a house for his own
occupancy after the excavation work for the
Suilding completed.
Opposite the site are the homes Of W. D.
Sloane. w. K. Vanderbilt and w. K Wander
bilt, jr., and at the southeast corner Of SOD
street and Fifth avenue is the home of Morton
F. Plant.
A well known real estate operator recently
offered to buy the site OF ST. Thomas's Episcopal
Church. at 53d street and Fifth avenue, for
50. 100000. and that offer would probably have
been accepted IL the rector wardens and vestry-
men of the church could have bought a plot
115 by 23O feet at the northeast corner of 52d
street and Fifth avenue. The church could have
bought the parcel which was purchased by Mr..
Hartman yesterday, but it could not get an ad-
joining plot owned by the Goelet estate. Under
the terms Of the Goelet will the estate cannot
sell its holdings.
