some uneasiness began TO be mani
tested respecting the ultimate inten-
tions of the commissioners. To cut a
long story short as fast as the various
terraces encircling the park and the
detached villas within the Enclosure
were completed the public were ex-
cluded from the park lands either op-
posite or round and about the houses
till finally they found themselves shut
out of the park entirely.
This infringement Of the rights of
the public (for the improvements were
paid for out of the public purse) was
very gradual and insiduous. The park
took nearly thirty years to lay out
and build, and it was not till 1888 that
Londoners woke up to the fact that
while vast space had been preserved
from the encroachment of mean build
ings, they had lost the time-honored
use of it for recreation and exercise.
In that year the commissioners gave
the public access to a small strip on
the eastern side.
This concession was speedily fol-
lowed by an agitation against the
whole policy of Regents park. In
April. 1871. Lord Nugent presented an
address to the queen from the neigh
boring parishes praying her majesty
TO throw the entire park open to the
public. The queen personally investi-
gated the subject and came to the con-
clusion that the rights of the public
had been grossly violated. By her or
ders the whole park was thrown open
on August Is, 1S41, and simultaneously
the government purchased Primrose

added it to the park.

ciety with the park dates from 1928
and the collection of animals was
swelled by transferring the royal
collection in the Tower thither in
1894 1t may be added that the zoo
never really caught on with the public
until the immense excitement created
by the arrival of the first hippopota
mus in 1850. The Royal Botanic So
ciety was granted the use of the in
ner circle in 1910 and at once reward
ed the privilege by erecting high
mounds OF earth to insure privacy.
There have been but few eventful
episodes in the history of Regents
park Unlike Hyde park. it has never
been the scene of riots, great political
demonstrations, military displays or
public festivities.

.LONDON'S BIG PARK
Regents, Formerly Royal Prop
erty, is Now 10C Years Old.
Thirty Years Was Required to Build
Historic Preserve-Queen Eliza
beth Restored Grounds to Pub
lie and Ousted Residences.

London.-The present year is the
centenary of Regents Park, the larg-
est one in London That is, it is just
one hundred years since the govern
ment took hold of the project of form
ing a park out of the pasture land
known as Marylebone Farm and
Fields. With it's annexes the Regents
park of today covers over four hun
dred acres.
The land was formerly the outer
park attached TO the royal mansion of
Henry VIII. and was favorite hunt
ing ground of the Tudors. Here
Queen Elizabeth entertained the Rus
sian ambassadors with a stag hunt.
During the eighteenth century Maryle-
bone park, split up into dairy farms,
was one Of the principal sources of
the milk supply OF London, and these
fields were inteTsected by footpaths
which formed favorite promenades for
the pent-up Londoner.
According to a government survey
made in 1874, Marylebone park con-
tanned 543 acres. Shortly after this
survey premiums were offered by the
government for the best plans for
building on the estate as soon as the
leases should fall in Nash's plan to
form public park. interspersed with
few palatial villas, and to let the
adjoining ground on building leases

deHces. was ultimately adopted.
1t was decided to name this orna-
mental Enclosure after the prince re-
gent, who, it was said, intended build
ing a residence in the park, but this
plan, if ever entertained, was aban
doned. The present park was COM
menced early in 1912 and for several
years the site presented "a most eX
traordinary scene of digging, eXca-
waiting and building, and seemed more
like work of general destruction
than anything else"
The commissioners of woods and
forests resolved to lay out and plant
the whole domain according to the
plan before peRnitting any building
operations insHe. Accordingly, the
first thing they did was to demolish
the farmhouges aud taverns and stop
up the footpaths within the inclos-
ure
When the rroject CT making the
park was sanctioned by act Of parIia-
ment, the public had no inkling that
they might be deprived of the priv
ilege of using it. In 1914, however,

New York City.-Three men were

quarters in connection with the
murder of Herman Rosenthal, who
was shot to death on the eve of max
ing revelations of police graft. They
were:
Louis ("Bridgey') Webber of 1913
Second avenue, gambler and proprie-
tor of a gambling house at Forty-sec-
ond street and Sixth avenue, charged
with being actually implicated in the
murder.
Sam Paul, Thirty-second street,
gang leader and head of the Sam Paul
association, composed chiefly of gam
blers and notorious characters,
charged with being actually implicat-
ed in the murder.
Jack Sullivan of Broadway and One
Hundred and Forty-fourth street, man.
ager of newsboys and friend of Sam
Paul, Jack Rose, Police Lieutenant
Becker, the late Herman Rosenthal
and most of the other characters in
the case. Held as a material witness.
Sullivan's right name is John A.
Rich.
The other prisoners who have thus
far been taken by the police are:
Jack Rose, gambler, associate of
gangmen, and friend of Lieutenant
Becker.
Louis Libby, part owner of gray
murder car" used by slayers in their
getaway"
William Shapiro, part owner of the
car and the man who actually drove
it the night of the murder.
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty,
although taking the attitude that the
arrests he made were most vital in
the clearing up of the case, refused
to say what new evidence he had
against Webber and Paul. or why he
had delayed their arrest for nearly a
week when he could have picked up
both within couple of hours after
Rosenthal was shot. The arrests
were made after a conference partici-
pated in by Dougherty, Inspector Ed
ward Hughes and third man who
was not of the police force, but who
represented a high place in the city
government.
