Judge Rosalsky. sitting on the criminal
bench in New York City, put the question
of the wages of a criminal career ~squarely
before a number of young fellows, prisoners
of his court, who are just starting on a
criminal career. They are all out on sus-
pended sentences and are required to re-
port to him once a week.
A dozen of them were in the court room
while Judge Rosalsky was sentencing
Aaron Hirsch, who had pleaded guilty to
larceny in the second degree. The man is
a habitual criminal and the Judge thought
his case might have an educative effect
on the budding rascals.
you nave spent nearly seven years in
prison. said Judge Rosalsky. Now, l
want you to tell these young men just how
much money you have made from all your
thefts.''

The confession of this man Htrsch is a
common one. Most criminals die poor; the
biggest ones, like the great counterfeiters
who could have amassed wealth legiti-
mately, live hunted trembling lives and
die paupers, after all this bounding. Their
experiences would cause thought and prob
ably reform, but they are not put straight
at incipient criminals as Hirsch's admission
was.

Here Is another version OF the Standard
on kings triumph over an offensive neigh
Dor in the Pocantico hills: John Melin, the
innkeeper in Sleepy Hollow, whose thirst
allaying establishment John d. Rockefel-
Ter for years sought to buy, has finally
given up the fight. He has announced that
on Thursday he will sell to anyone who
cares to buy his furniture, bar fixtures
and the surplus stock of drinkables, Fur
ther. on Saturday Mr.. Melin will shake
the dust Of Sleepy Hollow from his sandals
and betaken himself to Europe.
For years Mr.. Rockefeller has tried to
buy Mr.. Melin's place and when money
failed to avail, Mr.. Rockefeller resorted to
strategy. He bought all the property about
Mr.. Melin's dispensary and put his own
employees In as tenants BY this means that
section OF population which kept the little
bell ringing on the Melin cash register
gradually was eliminated, for the Rookie
Teller tenantry wore white ribbons.
Friends OF Mr.. Melin admitted that the
property eventually will be described in
a deed held by Mr.. Rockefeller"

Nearly all the people. young and old. on
the Jersey side Of the river. last Monday
celebrated the completion and opening OF
what are locally known as the 'McAdoo
tubes" connecting Jersey City with Man
haitian. These are the first tunnels COM
pleted under the Hudson. They are the
pioneers Of others, leading the Pennsyl-
vania railroad tunnel by a few months,
and demonstrating the feasibility OF under
ground communication which engineers Of
a quarter Of a century ago regarded as an
idle dream. The McAdoo system OF tunnels
on the Jersey side taps four great trunk
lines and places their passengers on Man
haitian soil with three to less than ten
minutes. When the span to Grand Central
station is completed, when the Pennsyl-
vania railroad tubes are thrown open to
traffic, when Queens shall finally get its
own long-desired tunnel, the Greater New
York dream of a few years ago will be
the fact of today. There remains unfinished
the extension from the present Manhattan
terminus, at T~wenty-third street to the
Grand Central station. 1t is expected that
this will be put I'm operation January l,
1911. 1t Is also understood that the Nc
Adoo system will be expanded to take in
all the railroads entering New York by
way Of New Jersey, and that an extension
to Staten Island will be constructed. When
this is done an area 20 per cent greater
than the area of Greater New York and
eighteen times that Of Manhattan will be
placed within easy communication Of New
York.
The capacity of the system, running
eight-car trains on a Roadway of one and
one-eighth minute, is estimated at 10000, =
900 a year. The cost of the system when
completed will be about s70,OO0.OOO.
