GOTHAM THE MECCA FOR

NEW YORK.-Since the mendicancy

Bingham less than a
year ago. practically throwing New
York wide open TO beggars. the streets
swarm with impostors Of every type
and nationality. who ply their profes-
sion almost unInterruptedly. The
mendIcants impede traffic on the busy
thoroughfares night and day and sim

efforts against them.
One rather surprising feature OF the
mendlcancy problem In Gotham is
that the largest number OF begsars
arrested are natlye-born Americans.
According 10 James Forbes. executive
officer OF the committee Of mendi-
cancy. more than 1000 bcggars we're
arrested In Manhattan during the
past year. or this number almost 500
were native-born Americans. The sta
tIstics for the year before show the
same large percentage of American
born "panhandlers." No reason has
been exactly ascribed for this large
number of American-born mendicants.
but the condition is probably due In a
large measure to the "wanderlust" In
the blood OF the young American.
There are many classes of pan
handlers" or "pllngers." as they pre-
