The Olneyville times. (Olneyville [Providence, R.I.]) 1887-1917, 1911-09-29

Al EW ORLEANS.-J. Chung Lee, a
~ rich Chinese shrimp fisher and
owner OF a store in this city, is a
prisoner here charged with holding
white men in bondage in Bayou Bara-
taria, once the refuge OF LATTE and
his band. The federal officers who
arrested Lee brought with them nine
white men who will appear as wit
nesses. These men assert they were
shanghaied from a boarding house in
this city and taken TO Manila, a fish
ing village, and often forced to work
30 hours without rest Once they
ESCAPED and boarded a steamer but
were discovered and the captain re.
turned them TO the shrimp fisheries, as
is the custom OF all gulf shipmasters
when refugees are discovered.
That such condition could prevail
for years without discovery in a ter
ritory comparatively near TO a large
American city will be received with
hncredibility by those who know
nothing os the topography of that
country. Blu. to those who have
pushed their way only a few miles
into the wilderness, the surprise is
that anything going on there should
ever be known 10 the rest Of the

City Spends Five Millions for Music

which II is estimated will be spent In
five months for opera, symphony con-
certs and other forms Of musical en-
tertainment will come from music
patrons numbering less than 25000,
or less than one per cent. of the city's
total population. Probably not more
than one person in 500 ever attends
the opera, although concerts OF vari-
Gus sorts are moro widely patronized.
Just why New Workers will have 10
foot such an enormous bill for their
musical entertainment is indicated by
the salaries paid TO the artists. a
really famous operate singer re-
ceiyes as much as $2,500 for a single
performance, while symphony orches-
ira leaders are paid as much as $780,
900 for a season lasting only four
months.
Many OF these concerts and recitals
fall TO earn anythin. In one case dur
ing the last musical season just ten
seats were sold for a really meritori-
Gus concert Eventually, however,
the public foots the bill. but whether
It can really enjoy the 100000
worth Of music which It will absorb
next season remains 70 be seen.

Easton. Pa.-One by one the nation

homes as they appeared in 1916. These
are the former home OF George Taylor
in this place, and Charles Carrollton
OF Baltimore. The Carrollton man
sion, rich as II is in memories, has
been tenement house, inhabited
principally by foreigners. The lower
floor of the Taylor house was last
used as butcher shop.
II is quite probable that there is
more interest attached 10 this Taylor
house than 10 the home OF any other
signer of the famous document. IL is
for this reason that the Easton chap
ter OF the Daughters OF the American
Revolution are making such efforts 10
preserve this once famous building.
This society has purchased the home
and will convert IL into "A museum. AS

PETITION FOR
LOCAL STREETS
Matter to Come up at Next
Meeting OF Board.

At tho next meeting of the Local
Borough Board of Public Improve
ment, to be held at Borough Hall,
ST. George, next Tuesday morning,
there will be two petitions to come
up that will be of much interest to
property owners In Tottenvflle.
These petitions are for the opening
and improvement OF Butler avenue,
Arents avenue, Eureka place and
Chestnut street.
These streets were recently Get
tied upon after the commissioners
made their report and the courts
passed up. 1t is likely that a num-
Der of property owners will be at
the board meeting when a hearing
on the matter will be given. For
some time the matter OF opening
Butler avenue through Lafayette
place to Broadway, and the opening
of~the new street from Johnson ave-
nue. to Church street has been under
consideration and it Is only now that
anything definite has been done to-
ward starting to do anything with
1t. 1t is expected now that as soon
as the local board passes on It work
will be started to cut both streets
through.
At the meeting OF the local board
Tuesday, with President Cromwell
in the chair, the much mooted ques-
ton OF extending CastIeton avenue
to West New Brighton to and
through Grace Church place, Port
Richmond, was again considered,
but tho matter was again laid over,
this time till Tuesday, March IA.
Considerable opposition has develop
ed against the plan as at present
laid out.

is ACCUSED
Charged With Selling STAMPS
Outside of District


P~ostofice inspectors have been In
vestigating a complaint made
against Postmaster Lienhardt, who
has just been reappointed postmas-
ter OF Stapleton for four years by
President Taft. 1t has been alleged
that he has been selling quantities
of stamps to people outside Of his
district for the purpose of putting
his Office on a irst-class rating which
would mean an increase in his APP
preparation.
1t is a violation of the postal laws
to sell stamps outside Of a postal
district. The sale sheets of the
Stapleton p~ostoffiee were seized by
two inspectors last week, and after
thev had BEEN examined Postmaster
Lienhardt was notified to appear be-
fore the inspectors at the Federal
Building In Brooklyn. Whether or
not his exclamation OF the alleged
unusual sale OF stamps was satisfac-
tory to the inspectors could not be
aHcertained. The INSPECTORS will
make their report to Washington.
