NEW Y0RK'S BIG ARMY
 PROSPERITY CAMPAIGN
Hundred Thousand Travellers to Dis seminate Facts of Business Condi- tions-Great Prosperity Congress to Be Held in August.

New York, May 11.-(Special Cor
 respondence to The Republican)- New York not only is joining in the
 general prosperity" campaign inaug- urated few days ago in the west, but is preparing to start a movement of her own for the restoration of confi-
 dence. Reports received here show
 that the hoarding of money still con-
 tinues to some extent in many parts
 of the country and that even business
 men are holding down their bank bal
 ances. carrying large sums of cash on
 hand and hesitating to commit them
 selves to their usual purchases as a
 result of the fear inspired by the Oc-
 tober panic. The fact that the condi-
 tions which caused the trouble six
 months ago have changed and that
 ther is at Dresnt no reason for alarm over money tightness is well under
 stood by those familiar with the fi- nancial situation but does not seem to be fully appreciated by many mer- chants and other business men. To disseminate a better understanding of actual conditions the said of the great army Of travelling men who represent the business houses of this city is be- ing enlisted. In view of the fact that ther are 100, 900 or more of these trav- cling representatives, it is believed that no other means will prove so ef- fective in restoring the confidence of business men throughout the country as the facts and arguments which will be supplied to them from the head quarters here and which they will present to their customers. Herman A. Metz, comptroller of Greater New York, sat the head of the movement and leading business men of the city have enlisted in it. One feature of the campaign is to be a great gather ing which wil be held here in August and will be known as the Commercial Travellers Interstate Prosperity Con- gress. At this meeting will be asem- bled not only the commercial men who have engaged in spreading the doctrine of good times but also leading busi- ness representatives from all parts of the country. and reports will be pre- pared showing actual conditions of trade, the extent of the recovery from the trouble of last autumn and the ba- sis on which it is claimed that con- dition of real prosperity exists While iti generally assumed that the real effect of the movement will hardly be felt until after the national political coventions, business men and finan-

Afeter remaining tightly in place for several months the lid is now off and New York is again comparatively a ''wide-open" town so far as gamb- ling is concerned. From time to time there comes from that mysterious source which New Workers have come to call the man higher up"-though no one can tell who he is-tips that gambling must cease, or that it may begin again. Whichever form the message takes it seems to be regarded as authoritative by both police and gamblers. Now the word is that the devottees of chance may resume oper- ations and in consequence the gamb- ling houses in the side streets off up- per Broadway are doing a rushing business and their proprietors wear their old-time look of prosperity. So implicitly do the gamblers trust the source from which permission has come to reopen that there is little at- tempt at concealment. The publica- tion of the names and locations of the principal gambling houses along Broadway from Twenty third to Forty Second streets has not caused them to close. Concerning one of the most notorious of these houses about which complaint has been made without avail. a policeman said that is one of the places I can't tocuh." Whatever the mysterious source from which the gambling houses of New York are ruled, it's power apparently is final and unquestioned, both by police and gamblers.

The startling discovery has just been made that the great majority of mothers in New York are imported from the old world. While the city has been congratulating itself on the large increase in births, the fact has been overlooked that nine out of ten of the babies are the children of parents whose arrival in this country is com paratively recent. Investigation has shown that in twenty-eight blocks surrounding the most fashionable and exclusive part of Fifth avenue only thirty-seven babies arrived during the past year On the crowded East Side, however, with its population chiefly of foreign birth no less than 314 ba- bies were born during the same per iod in an equal area. In this baby census is found corroboration of the surprising charge that the great ma jority of the citys mothers come from abroad. It is often said that New York is an un-American city and if the ra- tio of births among natives and for eigners continues as at present there is every indication that so far as the makeup of it's population goes it will become still more completely a for eign community. At the present rate of increase, with nine out Ofevery ten babies born of foreign parents. the real American element in this city bids fair to become less than sub merged tenth.

 The fact that the style of a abode in which most of the residents of Americas greatest city live is of com paratively recent invention was called to the attention this wek by the death
 of Thomas McKegney, the father of the flat" It was fifty-five years ago that the first of the buildings for which the Harlem section has since
 become famous was put up. It ac- commodated five families and was without any frills. Today nearly B. 900, ,0OO persons in Greater New York dwell in this sort of building, that is in apartments. flats or tenements. In 1858 when McKekney began the whole sale construction of his flats in Har- lem the prevailing residnece was de- tached house of two stories, basement and attic. These, incredible as 1t seems, to demand for them increase,
 however. that McKegney conceived the idea Of building "a lot Of houses in
 bunch as he expressed it, and as result to him more than to any other cause is due the disappearance of the single house Today less than 10000 families in Greater New York own the
 houses they live in. and a single dwell ing of any size and pretentions is pos sible only for the very rich Probably in no other way is the rapidity of met ropolitan expansion shown so graph ically as in the development of the
 flat which fifty years ago housed less than fifty persons in New York and
 now provides homes for 100000.
