GUN FIGHTS
 STIR GOTHAM
Pitched Battles in Streets Between Rival Gangs Terrorize City and Lead to Drastic Suggestion, to Restore Law and Order

NEW YORK June r As a result of the gun fights between factional gangs which have made various sec tiOnS of New York resemble a mining camp of the widest times, sugges- tions are actually being put forward here for the organization of a com- mittee of vigilantes similar to those of early frontier days for the pur- pose of ridding the city of the gang leaders whose highest ambition seems to be the taking of human life A week of pitched battles between armed gangsters with the most melo- dramatic settings has at last awaken ed the city to the necessity of free ing itself from the presence of these bands. For years it has been more or less known that such bands ex- isted and that death was likely to be the lot of anyone incurring their dis pleasure. Of late. however, they have been settling feuds by the revolver and knife method at such a rate that citizens in general have become thor Oughly alarmed by the week long bat tie which has been going on. Men marked for death have been shot down from passing taxicabs in which the assassins promptly made their escape in a guerilla warfare unequal led in the annals of the city Even personal peculiarities have been made the cause of attack as is evidenced by the fact that one gang leader now lying in a hospital with several bull let wounds, only shortly before he was shot slashed a COney Island singer four times across the face be- cause he did not like the song which was being rendered Two members of another gang who were threatened with expulsion as a result of the be- lief among their fellow gangsters that they might show the white feather went out and deliberately shot down man as an indication of their fit ness for membership. For the last week a meeting between members of the various rival gangs has been the signal for general shooting. As q result law and order have become a byWOrd in the districts that the gangs have chosen in which to dem Onstrate their contempt for a human life and New York finds itself in the position of a border town. So out rageous have conditions become that the spectacle of Vigilante committees cleaning up the town in the old frontier fashion may yet be afforded unless relief through other channels is soon forthcoming.

The entire force of Fifth avenue special police is under arrest ana employing counsel in an endeaVor to win the right to protect shoppers and at the same time look like real GODS. The difficulty has arisen be- tween the regular force and the spe- cials because the latter's uniform and shield so closely resemble that of the finest" as to be readily mistaken for the regulation garb. That is the reason assigned for the arrest of the specials. but it is hinted that it IS really a beauty contest. The Fllth avenue detail of regular police are selected for their fine appearance ana assiduously cultivate majesty ana nonchalance. The specials were pro ceeded bv boastful announcements that an Apollo-like standard would oe set.

A novel record has just been com pleted here through the tabulatiOn of the number of persons and ve- hicles passing various points in the city As a result of the count the busiest spot in the city has been To- cated at the corner of Broadway and Fulton street in the heart of the downtown district By actual count 113,111 persons passed this corner in ten hours. or at the rate of 18S a minutes The next highest count showed 75,996 at q point on Forty second street This total, however, is largely augmented by the proximity of a great railway terminal building
 Greeley Square which is in the heart of the retail shopping district account ed for the passing of 72,5O0 persons in ten hours. As might be expected the busiest point for vehicular traf- fife is not in the same district as that most thickly crowded by pedestrians. It is located at the corner of Fifth avenue and Thirty fourth street
 During ten hours 7521 vehicles passed this point, or about thirteen minute. a figure which illustrates strikinglY the reason why crossing the avenue has come to be regarded as feat of daring The next greatest count showed an almost equal congestion as far uptown as Sixty sixth street where 1918 vehicles were checked off.

Fervent signs of relieg are being heard from hotel patrons here as result of the crumbling of the wait CTS strike whCih has caused more or less disorder and discomfort in the majority of the c:ty's hostelries and restaurants of late, It is not the in- convenience in the securing of meals and other service which has made the hotel customer uneasy, but the realization that if the strike were sue cessful he would be the person to foot the bill, since, as is pointed out by one of the city's best known hotel frequenters, it is the patron who pays the servants. Statements made pub lie during the strike reveal the fact that while the waiter in one of the larger hotels may receive for wages $25 or $50 a month, his tips average from $10O to $20O for the same period. As indicative of the extent to which the public actually pays the walters wages, the case of one attendant who refused to walk out from a cafe in which no food but only liquid re- treatments are served is cited. Dur ing three days his tips are reported to have amounted to $59 Had the strike been successful the fate of the guest would have been even harder. Men who have studied the situation carefully assert that it is the result of an economic perversion imported from Europe where employees in ad- dition to deriving their compensation from the guests" are in many cases compelled to pay for the occupation which gives them these opportunities.
 But while the hotel and restaurant patrons have cause for relief so far as the result of the strike is concern ed. the abolishment of tips about which so much has been heard of late seems just as far distant as ever
