THE FUTURE NEW YORK.
Ocean Steamers will Probably Dock Of
Long Island within a Short Time.

The docks around Manhattan IsiHrd
will presently be unable to accommo-
date the enormous shipping that enters
the port of New York, and plans for the
construction of docks on Long Island
are already under way. First in I'M
portance of the seriously considered I'M
provernents, says the New Broadway
Magazine in an article on THE Greatest
Port in the World,'' is jamaica Bay,
east of Coney, on Long Island-six
hours nearer New York than any other
available point outside the immediate
harbor The long channel trip Is
avoided. the route to sea Is shorter and
more direct, and more than enough time
is thereby saved to make the train trip
to Manhattan inconsiderable. Improved
railroad facilities, by tunnels under th&
city and rivers, and the tremendous
railroad development of western Long
| Island, already under way. make ia
maica Bay as neal the centre of the
city as South Brooklyn or Jersey BY
these improved facilities passengers
and freight can be carried directly
through or about the city to or from
any portion of the North American
continent. Twenty years from now,
the tourist to Europe may cross the
continent and never leave his a until
the train draws up on q jamaica Bay
dock. The saving Of time ny s1raii.
is of even greater Importance to the
commercial world. With four-day
boats, daily mails and quick transmits
sion through the postoffice, the time
now taken for a letter mailed in Lon-
don to a New York address will be re-
duced one-half.
A year ago, Mayor Mcclellan, CO.
operating with business organizations
of the city, appointed a commission
to examine the feasibility of the Ja-
maica Bay project and to suggest plans
for its realization. The jamaica Bay
Improvement Commission has recon-
mended the purchase of 5000 acres Of
shore land around the bay at a cost
of $36, 900, 900. draining and walling 1t
al a cost of $27, OO0, 900, and then spend
ing $50, 900, 900 more for buildings and
docks. This city would cooperate with
the Federal Government in dredging
the bay itself to a depth of fifty feet,
the sand removed being utilized to
build up the shore land. The Federal
Government, it is suggested. would
build a long jetty out into he ocean
and dredge a channel to the bay The
route suggested would bring ocean
steamships to New York along a chan-
mel running up around by coney Island
and Manhattan Beach I

FOOD VALUE OF THE PEANUT.

pert of the State University at Berkeley,
Cal. has issued a bulletin aging ten
cents worth of peanuts contain more pro-
TEN than a meal Of roast beef. and six
times the amount of energy involved in
a big fat porterhouse steak.
Professor Jaffa punctures the old idea
that salt eaten with nuts makes them
more easily digested. says a Berkeley dis
patch to the New York World. He also
explains why nuts seem to upset the di-
gestive organs.
with the exception, perhaps. of dried
beans and cheese no food material has
such a reputation for indigestibiity. . he
a discomfort from nuts is largely
due to insufficient masticatson, Ind from
eating them when not needed. as after q

ECKERLEIN IN
FIGHT FOR
KNIFE
Policeman After Fierce
Struggle SnbdueS Prisoner
Who Tried to Stab Him.

Pedestrians along William street,
neal the First Precinct police station,
witnessed a desperate struggle for the
possession of a knife, about noon to-
day, between Court Officer Eekerlein,
of the First Precinct station, and an
Italian named Joseph Pfrey, who says
he has no home.
The officer arrested the man on South
Canal street. Worl had bee tele-
phoned into the station house that he
was b~randishing a knife on the street
and threatening every woman that
came his way. Eckerlein was detailed
and found the man in front of 1S5
South Canal street, where he was
threatening an italian woman named
Marie May
From the start he resisted arrest,
making it necessary for Eckerlein to
enter into a combat with him at every
few steps. The officer was forced to
use force on him just before reaching
Broad street, and this served to sub
due the enraged Italian until he saw
the police station loom up big before
him.
The spectacle was anything but
pleasing, evidently. because, when he
beheld the building, he reached into
his back pocket grabbed his knife and
made a motion as If to stab Eckerlein'
when the latter arrested his arm. Then
followed the fight. in which b Italian
came out second best. Eekerleln prae-
tically carried him into h station
house after he had secured the knife
There the italian showed what ap-
peared to the police to be symptoms OF
insanity. He didn't like the idea OF
going into a cell. and force had to be
again restorted to to land him there

Mr.. Ward objected to this question.
Mr.. Finley followed with another inquiry.
He wanted to know IL the many secret
conversations that Mustol and Monaehino
had together were about the Cortese tras-

and Monachino, during their secret CONVEX

with women. He explained that Mrs.
Monachino was always excluded from the
room because her husband didn't desire to
have her know of his infidelity.
Mustol denied that he had ever been con-
