GRADE CHANGES SUGGESTED
McAneny Wants Levelling Near Tunnel
at Park Avenue

Important changes in the grades In tho
vicinity OF Park avenue and 3ith street
have been suggested to the Board Of Esti-
mate by Borough President McAneny and
a hearing OF the proposition has been set
down for June 10.
Fourth avenue becomes Park avenue at
34th street and at that point the Park ave-
nue. tunnel begins, making the grade Of
Park avenue considerably higher than that
Of Fourth avenue This necessitates a rise
I'm Fourth avenue and In 3ith and Sd streets
TO meet the incline. 1t is proposed to start
the tunnel at 18th street instead of Ath
street and 10 cut down Park avenue and
9th street al their crossing so that they
will be on the same level as Fourth avenue.
This change Of grade VIII permit the pro
pcsed moving sidewalk In 3ith street To be
constructed, II It should ever be consid-
cred necessary.
II is also proposed 10 widen ath street
between Park and Madison avenues from
40 TO 80 feet and TO remove all en-
cumbrances, which will probably include n
mart OF the steps Of the home Of August
Belmont. at No "A East 5ith street

George Stein, OF No. 229 East 18th street.
was arraigned in Special Sessions yester-
day in the place Of his brother Benjamin
who was charged with petit larceny. the
two brothers resemble each other. and
Georges account of the substitution so
perplexed the court that il was decided IT'S
only recourse was TO discharge the suiltless
George and issue a bench warrant for the

BENJAMIN was arrested on November 10
convicted OF theft and received suspended
sentence He failed to report to the proba-

for him. On December II a BOY Who gave
the name Of Harry Brown, but who John
Smith. the probation officer. believes to ne
the elusive Benjamin, was arrested. He
was released on bail before Smith could
find him.
Yesterday when the case Of Harry Brown
or BENJAMIN Stein, was called in Special

CHINATOWN SEEKS STUDENT
Think Columbia Man Led Police
in Series of Raids.

Chinatown was all astir yesterday over
the identity of the masked man who led
the police early in February on a series
Of gambling raids in Pell street Whispers
are going the rounds that Chinese stu
dent at Columbia has got himself into a
terrible fix. and will find it big task 10
get out of It.
The raids were undertaken subsequent TO
the killing of the president and vice-presi-
dent of the Hip Sings at No. % Pell street,
but were considered by the Chinatown
gamblers at first as mere periodic demon
STATIONS Of police vigilance made TO mollify
public opinion. Since then, however, the
police have shut down all the pie-gow
rooms and fan-tan tables, and the District
Attorney has been actively prosecuting the
gamblers and those suspected OF china
town murders among whom is Mock DUCK,
leader Of the Hip Sings. in whose Gens
alone. II was said, scores OF tong feudists
met their death.
AS far as the Hip Sings could be per-
suaded to tell who the masked man was,
he is. they believe. a young man studying
at Columbia. At the trials. Il was said. he
was always present to interpret for the
in the trials Of Chinese. and the District
Attorney has found ii more satisfactory
than the old method of accepting the SER
vices Of the tong interpreters, who twist
questions and answers to favor their re-
spective tongs, the result OF which prac-
tice was that most all Of the prisoners
escaped the penalty of their crimes.
one Hip Sing man spoke freely OF the
suspected man. I'VE have for some time
suspected that rascal, but we are now con-
WINGED that it was he who led the police
At the trials and hearings he showed too
much intelligence. The questions OF the
District Attorney were unexpected. and
such a knowledge Of Chinatown conditions
as implied in the District Attorneys ques-
tions could be learned only from China
man. Wen fix MIN if he shows up in Pell
street
The Chinese students refuse TO say whom
Chinatown means. But feeling is high. and
both on Leongs and Hip Sings have de
clared they mean to rid themselves of a
common danger and then fight their own
feuds without any outside interference.
