MADDEST MAY MOVING
KNOWN IN THE BIG CITY
Fifty Thousand Vans and Motors
Employed In Big Shift.
ISpeciai to The Free Press. ]

New York, May 13.-More than
q million householders, ofricework-
ers and store attendants are to-day
finally housed in new quarters after
the maddest May moving that has
been recorded here in generation.
Never in the history Of the down.
town district have the skyscrapers

whole acres of new living spaces
edges of town. Fully fifty thousand
horse and motor vans are calcu-
lated to have shifted many millions
OF tons of stuff from old to new
suites within the last fortnight and
regiments of carpenters, decorators
and plumbers are still patching up
the damage done in the general
rout. When Gotham gets it's adj
dress book finally Strengthened out,
ii is believed that it will find it's
people scrambled and scattered as
never before.
Seeking the Servants.
With 100000 domestic servants
lacking in their homes and no sup
ply in sight, New Workers are now
facing a famine in home labor that
threatens to close down hundreds
of households and PROSTATE their
housekeepers. For years cooks,
nurses and mattresses have been as
scarce as hens teeth for the frantic
families who were left in the mrch
by departing dOmestics, and to-day
the employment agencies have come
TO be practically unable to supply
good kitchen help at any price. To
save city and suburban residents
from this serious situation, it is
now planned to scour the South and
the steerage for recruits to the
sadly depleted ranks of service
that has come to be despised by the
classes who might fill it.
Shift of Summer.
Heralding the season of balmy
air and summer sunshine, some
three thousand open street cars have
this week for the first time begun
to traverse the tracks all about
Greater New York. Over thirty
acres of storage space, the closed
cars have carried the metropolitan
crowds snug and warm for the last
seven months are just being housed
for their long period of idleness
until the first frOsts OF next fan.
I'm this city alone the public's need
for the same change in their nickle
motors as the automobilist's Shift
from limousine to touring body is
calculated to cost the companies
about $4,000, 900 each year in re-
pairs, storage and interest lost on
some sixty millions of equipment
lying idle all the year round.
Influence of Women.
In spite of the scoffers, more
serious consideration is this week
Icing given to woman's Suffrage
here than at any time before the
militant ladies turned out twenty
thousand paraders in their recent
grand march. Half a million men
have been estimated by the police
rs crowding the curb to see tn"
suffrage spectacle. and few men or
women i'm the whole town have not
discussed it since with some show
of respect. If the ladies can keep
the following that their street show
has brought them, it seems certain
that next years lawmakers Will
listen to their case with more inter
EST than ever before.
