New Years eve that many a visitor
from out of town has anticipated. 1t Is
the churchbell chimes, especially those
of Trinity ringing out over the grave
yard and along the SILENT reaches
of Wall street and lower Broadway.
And while the street crowds hail
the midnight bells with clamor, the
patrons of some of the restaurants
have pretty custom that has grown
up through the years. Just as the
hands of the clock are within a mo-
ment of overlapping all the lights i'll
the restaurant are turned out. The
orchestras stop playing. Everybody

AS usual, the Broadway restaurants

To thus welcome the New Year in
any of the popular resorts is an ex-
pensive pleasure. For a fee of from

guests means, a table is reserved for

ton is made in July or August, be-
cause every year the rush for tables
on the night of December 81 grows
greater.
And as if hiring a place to sit were
not enough, most of the big places
have a rule that nothing in the way of
drinks shall be sold except wine
which, in the patois of 42nd street and
it's vicinity, means always champagne.

Fighting on Merits.


Attorney John Sharpstein, who is
taking a leading part in the fight for
a reconsideration of the selection {
the site, and who took the initial step
by sending a telegram TO the treasury
department asking for a special disin-
terested representative, this afternoon
said:
81 personally know nothing of the
stories which have been circulated
casting reflections upon Mr.. Mcdowell
We are taking no stock in them, but
are making the fight on the merits
in the case. We hold that the north
side site is not in the business center
of the city; it is not in the paved dis
trict; is off the car line, and is in
district where there is no large trunk
line sewer available. In addition to
those considerations. the building is
to be located in a portion of the city
to which more than rs per cent Of f
people object. At least three -fourths
of the people of the city live on the
south side of Main street, and we are
making our fight for these people"
Mr.. Sharpstein said the petitions
way to Washington, and that a reply
might be expected within a short time
J. F. Ransom in speaking of the
controversy this afternoon said that
the action of the south side business
men had been taken only after three
fourths of the people Of the city
objected to the location of the building
on a site that is decidedly out of the
business district and in altogether the
wrong part of town. Instead of aid
ing in scattering the business district,
an effort should be made by all pro-
gressive business men to fall in line
and assist the trend of the business
section in its natural directiOn-out

No new developments in the contro-

the north side strongly resent the at
titude Of the southsiders in stirring
up question which promises to re-
suit in a neighborhood feud. The state
ments and accusations made, against
Special Agent Mcdowell since the Sc
lection of the site was made public, it
is claimed, will act as boomerang,
and the north side people, who are in
crested feel that the cause of the
opposition has been injured by the
contents of the messages sent to the
authorities in Washington.

location of the building as many other

of Mr. Mcdowell" continued Md. Kirk
