sixty five dwellings, were erected in the borough
and of these only ten cost over $4,000. Twenty
three cost between 100000 and $4,000 and thir-
ty-two less than $4,000. Because of this falling
off in the construction of private houses, the
prediction was made that within a few years
the construction of such buildings in Manhattan
would cease altogether. This years activity in
this branch of construction seems to prove the
error of this prediction. Along upper Fifth

SALEM, June 6.-In 1888, less

landed on Plymouth Rock and less
than one after the settlement OF Bos-
ton, Yankee enterprise began to seek
intercourse, for purposes Of profit, in
the West Indies. The voyage Of the

New Providence and Tortuga and re-
turned to Salem laden with cotton,
tobacco, salt and negroes, was the be-
ginning OF a long list of trade vent

set sail in those days from the North
Atlantic ports, went in violation Of

NEW YORW, June 6.-While New
York already has, either built or pro-
jected, about all the ordinary variet-
les Of tunnels, a decidedly novel pro-
ject in this line has just been plan
ned and is being pushed vigorously.
This is a scheme for a ship tunnel to
be carried under the Palisades of the
Hudson to connect the river with the
city OF Passaic on the river of the name
name in New Jersey. Passaic, al
though twelve miles from Manhattan
at present, would thus become a sea-
port and the plans for the proposed
tunnel call for an underground water
way that would accommodate all but
the largest ocean steamships The
proposal is put forward primarily to
afford better shipping facilities for
manufacturing plants which are being
driven out of the present city limits
by the growing cost of real estate
and the fact that sites with direct
water or rail connection are no longer
TO be had here. 1t is a striking indi-
cation Of the growth of New YorRs
commerce that although the harbor
frontage is more than four hundred
miles in extent the pinch of conges-
ton in dock facilities is beginning to
be seriously felt Vast plans for the
enlargement of the available water
area, such as the deepening of ia
maica Bay and the construction of the
New Jersey ship tunnel must be car
ried out, say the experts, or else New
York must lose her present COM
mercial and manufacturing suprem-
acy. The possibility of adding to the
other experiences OF an ocean voyage
trip in a brilliantly lighted submar-
inc tunnel at the New York end Of
the journey is one that may be reali-
zed within the next years.

and power facilities in every part OF
the world, The New Englanders got
into the trade because they found it
lucrative. What the profits must have
been can be canjectured from the fact
that the insurance on single vayage
was often from 10 to IS per cent. of
the value of the cargo and sometimes
ran as high as 23 per cent The risks
were large, but those who ,>ersistently
followed the traffic laid the founda-
tions of great fortunes Elias Has
ket Derby, son OF Captain Richard
Derby, died in 1919 leaving fortune
of more than one million dollars, one
of the largest amassed in North
America up to that time.
Not all of it, however, was gained in
strict trade, There came time dur
ing the Revolution when it proved
more profitable to fit out privateers
and "letters of marque" to prey on
British traders than to pursue the ord
mary course of shipping down to Bar
BADGES or Jamaica carrying fish, lum'
Der, cereals and rum Even before
the war straight commerce had be-
come too perilous to be satisfactory
to the merchants as was shown by a
letter Of Richard Derby's under date
OF May 9, l775, in which he said:
"There hath not been as yet any
stopping Of ye trade, so | would have
you get load OF molasses as good
and cheap and as quick as you can
and proceed home. If ye have not

While the right over race-track
gambling in this state has attracted
attention all over the country another
anti gambling measure favored by
Governor Hughes and regarded by
many persons as of even greater i'm
portance, although the struggle for
its enactment has been less spectacu-
lar, has just been placed on the stat
ute books. This is the law against
bucketshops which the Governor
signed few days ago and which will
make it impossible for this swindle,
operating under the guise of legiti-
mate trade, to continue in this state.
All over the country in fact relent-
less fight is being waged against the
bucketshops. Vigorous action by
police authorities has put many of
them out of business. The post Of
flee department is depriving them of
the privileges of the mails as fast as
evidence of the nature of their busi-
ness can be obtained and the Chicago
Board of Trade has been carrying on
vigorous campaign against them in
the middle west which was perhaps
their most profitable field. The legiti-
mate exchanges have an added rea-
son for fighting the bucketshops for
the latter have made it habit to steal
the quotations of the former by wire
tapping or other illegal means and
much of the prejudice against all
dealing in stocks and grain has come
from tthe confusion on the part of
the public between the operations Of
the legitimate exchanges and those
of the bucketshop. The method Of
the latter is simplicity itself, IT
charges commission, usually
double that Of the legitimate broker,
and except in rare cases executes
none OF its customers orders. 1t is
a gambling enterprise out and out
with the heavy commission always
working for the bucketshop. In the
palmy days of few years ago men
became millionaires in few months
by operating these sure-thing games

and investigation shows that most
OF the defaulters and bankers whose
downfall has been attributed to spec
ulation' were victims Of these swind-
lers. 1t is estimated here that the
wiping out Of bucketshops through
out the country will mean the saving
Of millions of dollars besides remov-
in gone OF the greatest sources Of
prejudice against legitimate opera
tions.

A record-of a sort-in reporting
election returns was made last week
when William R. Hearst, on board an
ocean liner, received by wireless re-
ports of the recount of votes in his
long drawn out fight to prove that he
was elected Mayor of New York in
1905. Two years and a half in report
ing voting results puts the Metropolis
long way behind the most back
ward of back country districts in this
respect. AT the rate at which the re-
count is progressing it is estimated
that something like two years will be
required for its completion in case
all the ballot boxes are opened. This
will carry it we'll beyond the expira-
ton of the present mayoralty term so
that Mr.. Hearst is likely to receive
establishes his claim.

The suffragettes, some Of them i'm
ported from England, who have been
providing more or less entertain
ments for New Workers recently with
their meetings, outdoor rallies and
parades, all part OF the rebellion
against mans alleged oppression Of
woman, are no longer to 60 unchal-
lenged. A great many American wo-
men apparently have no sympathy
with the demand for votes and the
outcry against their present state.
AT any rate an organization has been
formed here which includes a large
number OF prominent women and
which is planning vigorous opposi-
ton to the suffragette movement The
leaders Of the latter declare that the
new campaign is being secretly aided
and encouraged by the men and point
out that most of those engaged in it
are handicapped by the possession Of
husbands. The anti-suffragists in
sist that they represent the real senti-
ments of the great majority of women
who do not want the ballot and in
tend to let the fact be known. They
are planning a series Of lectures and
meetings to begin in the fall at which
they hope to show that this is the
case. Now that he has found
champion to defend him from the at
tacks of the suffragettes, mere man is
left free to devote his attention to
business, politics, golf and similar
minor affairs. 81

Now that the tide Of European
travel IS approaching its food the
usual number of complaints from
travellers as to the needless i'll treat
ment they suffer from the inquisi-
torial methods of American customs
inspectors are beginning to be heard.
Stories OF enforced payment OF duties
on articles OF value purchased in the
United States which the owners have
neglected to register before leaving
the country are common and are
matched by other stories Of damage
to costly fabrics by rough handling
and to the owners feelings by the
piers The greatest souEce of com
plant is not against the manner in
which it is conducted and the attitude
of the inspectors who treat every per-
son as a probable smuggler until he
or she can prove the contrary. In no
other country in the world it is point
ed out, not even in Russia, are per-
sons against whom there is no ground
for suspicion treated as they are by
Uncle Sans representatives How
much better they perform this dis
agreeable task abroad is told in a
striking way by DR.. Henry C. Row
land in his description of trip across
Europe by motor boat in the cur
rent Appleton's. On arriving at
Paris the writer and his companions
were approached by two extremely
polite customs Representatives who
asked if the travellers carried any con-
traband, On being assured that the
only articles were a few cigarettes
for personal use the inspectors polite
ly raised their hats and departed. In
New York the procedure would have
been first to make the travellers swear
to a statement of their possessions
and then to search their trunks, or
possibly to go through their pockets
and make them strip, just to show
that the sworn declaration was not
believed.
