NEW YORK, Sept. In addition tu the greatest electric lighting plant New York is now to have the great est gas plant in the world surpass- ing even that which supplies the needs of London and as a result IS that never sleeps that of the city that never sleeps thot of the city that never grows dark Work is al- ready underway which when com pleted will provide the largest source of light supply ever created by man.
 As now planned this giant will con- sist of nine separate units capable of supplying 250,O0O, ,O0O cubic feet of gas daily. Just what this means is shown by the fact that the new light center, capable of making the Great White Way look dim by comparison will cost in the neighborhood of S100,000, 900. Each unit of this vast plant will be a good sized manufac- turing city in itself since the total area will be about $50 acres or more than half a square mile. One feature will be two great steel oil tanks with Q capacity of a million gallons each. To guard against the danger of fire with such enormous quantities of inA flammable material at hand a special tion to this great earthen dikes have been raised about the oil tanks.

A novel entry has been made in New York's stream of foreign immi- grafton. unique even in the infinite variety with which immigration of ficials are associated-tWo ranchmen from Patagonia having arrived here with the purpose of undertaking sheep raising on the northern con tinent. Both have a surprising knowl- edge of world wide conditions in their business and both have become convinced that the prospects for making money are the better on the northern continent. Among the many distinct paths and by-paths of inn migration that come under the ob- servation of the immigration officials, there have been none leading from South America and comparatively few from the United States to South Am erica, although Europe is pouring in new settlers by thousands. However, Patagonia is believed to be the fore runner of a new lot of alien home seekers. although the entire popula- tiOn of Patagonia would barely sup Ely men enough to police the streets of Gotham. As result of the keen interest taken by immigration au- thorities in the entry of these names of Charles P. Houstock of Rio Gal legos, and H. Calcutt, it subsequently, was ascertained that Houstock finally bought six sections of land in the

CRIMINAL M|x-UP
 OF TWO TRUNKS
Two sagsasemen Imposed Upon by a
 CoIored Woman.

Maud Simms, alias Maud Sinms. colored, on Saturday night became the possessor of a trunk which she had long coveted, and got away with if. but was overhauled at Imperial. Cal. yesterday. The trunk, d mammoth af- fair, was the property of Mary Holt. also colored. The Simms woman had frequently visited here and had ex- pressed her admiration for the trunk. Hers was d small one and was falling to pieces.
 Both women had arranged to leave town on Saturday night Their trunks were sent to the Arizona Eastern de- pot, but at different times, as they were going on different trains. The Simms woman appeared at the depot some time before her train was to leave, and approaching the large trunk. laid some bundles on it and demanded that it be checked Two baggage men asked her if it was hers and she replied that it was, and gave them so many details regarding the ownership of it that they were left no reason to doubt her story.
 The trunk was so heavy that it re- quired the payment of excess baggage. The trunk was checked and sent out last night.
 When the Ford woman came to take her train and asked to have her trunk cheked it could not be found and when she described it the baggage men knew why.
 The affair was reported at the sher- ifs office and a telegram was sent to Imperial directing the arrest of the woman on her arrival. But Undersher- if Woolf outlined at once the nature of the reply that would be received. It came yesterday morning from the marshal at Imperial who said that the woman was in custody, but he did not think that she was guilty. He as- sumed that a mistake had been made in checking the trunk. The baggage men are sure that the only mistake was made by Miss Simms. She will probably be let off by sending the trunk back at her own expense.

And he then sold the whole bunch of 1O4 at $6 each His expense had been nominal, as there had been no more shelter than some brush, and the entire feed con sis ted of straw and some unstable hay

THE MEN WHO SUCCEED

as heads of large enterprises are men of great energy. Success, today, de- mands health. To ail is to fail.

and break it's metal barriers New York would thus be afforded the spectacle of a burning lake, which except for this safeguard might be- come d most disastrous fiery flood The producing capacity of the new plant when completed will be nearly two and one-half times the present gas consumption of Manhattan and the Bronx, and a twenty-one foot tunnel hewn out of the solid rock 250 feet below the sea level will be part of the system for conveying the gas to the upper part of the city. Altogether New York, with the com- pletion of this giant undertaking, promises to become a city of per petual daylight.

Mere man, in the person of officials of New YorlIs street car lines, may yet have something to say concern
 nG the styles of feminine fashions of dress, and the dictators of the drcssmaker be made less absolute. As the result of an investigation which traction officials have been carrying on for some time the con- CiusiOn has been reached that the hobble skirt is a public detriment and that dresses should in the future be planned with the needs of this public in mind The chief accusation brought against the hobble skirt is that it impedes traffic. While it's effect is not noticeable on subway or elevated trains where there is no necessity to step up, there IS marked difference in the case of sur face cars according to one high of ficial According to him delays caus- ed by the time consumed in stepping up on the platform by the Wearers of tight skirts are a primary reason for slow travel. To this same style he also attributes many accidents. and the wearing out of sidewalks. "A large number of accidents" says he, are due to the fact that women wear hobble skirts which impede them in entering or alighting from cars. Moreover we also find that this skirt by shortening steps and thus increasing the number adds greatly u the wear and tear on the pave ments" So for utilitarian reasons 1t looks as if man might yet have something to say concerning women's styles.

While lost persons are nothing un- usual in New York, the police records showing from twenty to fifty reports d day of such cases. the present week has brought to light the first instance on record so far as known of a lost house Curiosuly enough the house in question belongs, or at least is supposed to belong. to the city itself and stands in one of the most crowded spots in the world adjoining a police court on the lower East Side. For thirty years back at least nobody has known or has attempted to find out to whom the house, ar CId-fashioned brick residence, really belonged During all this time 1t has been occupied rent-free by various attaches of the police court next door, but the official records of the city contain no reference to it and apparently nobody knew or took the trouble to inquire as to it's owner ship. How much longer the modest old house might have concealed its identity in the center of the teemlns East Side had not an accident re- vealed it's secret might never be
 
 however, that one of the occupants of the house complained of the poor quality of the gas supply. The com Iany found that no record existed of any connection with the house and that it had been Illuminating the place for thirty years or more at It's own expense. An attempt was then made to locate the owner with the result that nobody could be found who claimed it nor could any record de discovered of it's ownership While the city probably will enforce its claim to the property the early his tory of the old house and the story of how it came to lose itself in lower Manhattan seem likely to re- main unsolved mysteries.
 That American and English shop pers are essentially different for some reason not yet discovered seems to be the opinion of two representa- tives of one of London's largest stores who have come to this city to study the methods of big department stores here in an attempt to find out why the bargain sale which is so popular here in this country is so unpopular abroad. According to their statements two sales a year are all that the British public will cOuntenance as compared to the practically daily of
 ferings at cut prices here. Apparent
 lv the attempted introduction of Am
 erican methods in London has now owed it's failure to lack of proper handling, since the English visitors
 point out that one American long
 associated in the operation of depart ment stores with their daily bargain sales in this country has been un- able to make these methods popular in his London store. For time the older British stores adopted the Am erican styles methods, but now they have fallen back to the old conserva- 1 tive lines. As a result English mer- l chants are now about to make a 1 careful diagnosis of our department stores in an effort to discover cure | for the English shoppers antipathy l to the methods by which our shops | are able to turn stock over so rap 1 idly and handle such a wide variety l On goods WV

SEVEN KILLED
IN AUTO CRASH

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. ga col
lision on a bridge in which three auto
mobiles were involved resulted in the
death of seven and possibly eight men
late tonight at Thirty-third and Thomp-
son streets in this city.
one of the machines containing nine
men came upon the bridge at terrific
speed. It's rapid approach was seen by
John I. Spade, a Philadelphia contractor,
who was going over the bridge in the
opposite direction in a motor. He tried
to avoid the car but he, was too late in
steering out of its way and a collision
occurred.
A third automobile was directly be-
hind the speeding car and ran into 1t.
The first machine was catapulted over
the bridge and dropped forty feet into a
coal yard. The other two cars were dam
aged. but their occupants were uninjured
and Immediately went to the rescue of
the others. Spade said it appeared to
him that two cars were racing over the
bridge. 1 4 ASSES
