DELICATESSEN BLIND PIG"
Shopkeeper Violates Sunday
Law One Door from Station.

Ssh! Although the police were appar-
entity not aware OF the fact, there was a
delicatessen store on Washington Heights
open for business yesterday In spite of the
many arrests of dealers since the recently
enforced Sunday closing law. A most as
tonshing thing. the store OF this dellca-
lessen dealer who dares defy the law is
located only one door away from a police
station. Across the street are two stores
OF the same description which were closed
tightly yesterday. ..s
Citizens on the Heights, who reside near
these stores and the police station, that
is, on st. Nicholas avenue. near lS0th
street. marvelled greatly at the audacity
Of the dealer, who, with his wife, could
be seen in the store. behind the counter,

the purchasers.
II could be observed, however that he
storekeeper only waited upon those he
knew or felt sure We're safe. Sometimes
he would ask customers to wait across
the street or around the corner, when the
dealer or his wife would deliver their
purchases TO them. Occasionally an i'm
posing looking cop would stroll by on
his beat. or course he may have been a
little near sighted.

WOULD HURRY PIERS
Tomkins Thinks Uptown Site
the Only Solution.
AWAITS 1,2OO-FoOT PLANS
Believes Marginal Railroad
Will Surely Be Built on
the West Side. -.

Calvin Tomkins, Commissioner Of tina
Department Of Docks, and Ferries said
yesterday that while he considered the
uptown site for long piers second TO tho

pensive, he believed II would be. the only
solution OF the problem. The carrying

Plans for 1,O00.feot piers, as recon,-
mended. were ready last Thursday, but
the change to f,2O0-foot piers, as recon-
mended by the Mayor. had made II neces-
sary to revise the plans and estimates.
Mr. Tomkins was pleased BIZ President
Mitchers promise that settlement
would be reached and a statement made
public with regard to the marginal rail-
road situation by January l, as the rail-
road is the controlling factor In the West
Side terminal organization. He believes
IL is certain that the railroad Will
be built, as it will afford the only means
Of relieving the congested waterfront
conditions.
With regard TO the demands Of the fed,
eral government, he said that had ths
city been more prompt In formulating
comprehensive plan the government
would not have been so arbitrary.
Mr.. Tomkins gave out a copy Of
statement made by him at the hearing
before the Harbor Line Board last Sep

choir OF little boys and girls. who, much
to the delight of the inmates practised
their songs The song the old people

hear the children sing the "Adonoi Mo
Odom." And then, at about 2:30 o'clock,
in came the guests-nearly five hundred
of them-who seemed 10 be happy to go
from chair to chair and bend over and
smile a greeting to the very old.
Mr. and Mrs. oscar Straus, who had
often been there before. wandered about
among the old people leaving them smil-
ing and rocking. And then came Mr.. and
Mrs Herbert Straus and Nh and Mrs
Jessie Straus, all of whom also seemed to
know the old men and women. Then
there was Dr. nenry Freshman, and the
Rev Dr. II. =. Mendes. There were
many others there who had helped to
make comfortable and happy the few re-
naming years Of life left to inmates. In
the throng were Or. and Mrs Alfred

$ NJ Margoles and Mrs Annie Diamond
And soon in came Mrs. Nathan Straus.

Colonel Archibald Oracle, one Of the sur
vivors.
Colonel Oracle, who has written BOOK
on the disaster, maintains that the play

into the iceberg and that the instruments
and musicians were scattered about the
deck Of the vessel, The band or orchestra

collision, he asserts.
A description of the incidents OF tho

DR.. MANNING FOR UNITY
Trinity's Pastor Calls Denomi
national Division "a Sin"

DR.. William I. Manning, pastor OF old
Trinity Church, delivered a sermon yes
terday on the great worlds conference
OF Christians which is now being planned
and which the projectors hope to hold In
the near future A large congregation
was present lie said
To speak OF the coming worlds confer
ence OF Christians is my purpose to-day.
IL is question OF faith and order and
aim TO attain progress. Ii Is one OF the
Appalling facts of life that IL seems that
people grow accustomed 10 tolerate great
evil IL IL Is only long enough continued:
they then seeni 70 think that II is a
part of the Divine order, must be ac-
cepted as a matter OF course, and no
move made 10 eradicate IL. The truth
is the sane with the present divided
state Of Christianity. Many see the state,
but do not seem concerned in changing
IT,
People sometimes say that. after all. the
proposed conference had no practical use (;
II is a fallacy TO, consider snch a thing
they tell US that the great mass OF the
Christian people are not really interested
In promoting unity in the Church. 1t
Is true that the moment one thinks OF
bringing representatives OF the Catholic
and Protestant churches together great
difficulties and obstacles are encountered.
From a human point II often seems I'm
possible But the undertaking is not
one which we have tho right TO look at
from a humanistic standpoint; with Jesus
Christ the impossible Is made possible.
There was never a time since the Chris
tlan Church became divided when people
are so lonely as they are to-day; they
look forward to the day when there
will be outside unity In the Church, as
well as spiritual unity among. the
churches. believe that we are coming TO
see daily the visible unity OF the Church
Of Jesus Christ This unity is not only
practical. but necessary, that We may
accomplish the greatest good In the
world We arc coming TO realize that
the division OF the Christian religion 10
not only a waste but q sin.
