TERMINAL HEARING Is
DELAYED UNTIL AUTUMN

1t was learned at the office of
Dock Commissioner Tomkins this
week that 1t is his intention to call
another hearing on his terminal
plans for Staten Island in the fall.
A hearing was announced recent
ly, but the commissioner was deeply
interested at the time in another
matter, and as only a few Staten Is
landers put in an appearance, there
was nothing doing"
After Staten Islanders return
from their vacation, and the summer
season is well over, it is believed
that Commissioner Tomkins will call
another hearing.
The discussion will include:
The extension southerly of the
terminal of the American Dock and
Trust Company.
The establishment of transfer
bridges so as to bring cars of rail-
roads other than the Baltimore and
Ohio on to Staten Island.
The establishment of a terminal
between Tompkinsville and Clifton.
The establishment of a terminal
at Great Kills.
The establishment Of a terminal
at Fresh Kills.
The relation of the lighthouse
station to st. George and to the pro,
POSED terminal between Tompkins
vile and Clifton.
1t Is desirable that all these mat.
ters should be considered In theil
relation to each other and to the
general terminal plans of the city.

pockets had been riied and sever
dollars taken. A silver cigarette
case was taken from DR.. Thomas
clothing. Detectives Smith and Con-
sidine were put on the case, but as
yet no arrests have been made. One
of the employees was openly accused
of the crime, because of the fact
that he had in his possession
$500, Just ten cents short of the

this story-never welded hammer or

stead, he made negro slaves do the
rough work while he strolled about
the city and planned bigger enter
prises.
Louisiana in those days consisted
largely Of rich, unsettled land. Into
these waste spaces the pioneers be-
gan to come. Huge plantations sprang
up. To work the plantations there
was need for thousands of negro
slaves. And the slave trade between
Africa and America throve tremen-
dously. A negro that cost $40 in his
African jungle could often be sold for
$1,000 in the New Orleans market.
Then the United States declared the
horrible African slave trade illegal.
This stopped the imports. The plant
ers clamored for more slaves. Gangs
Of smugglers met the demand by
secretly buying slaves intended for
Spain's Cuban and South American
plantations and landing them by night
in the Louisiana bayous. There was
money in this sort Of business. More

buying negroes from the Spanish
slave ships of the Cuban coast when.
by seizing those ships, he could get
the negroes for nothing? 1t was a
clever idea and he at once put 1t into
practice. He also seized vessels laden
with other valuables. and altogether
he prospered exceedingly.
LATTE himself did not go in search
of such prey. He was business man,

Burr was only nineteen when the

He Joined George Washington's
staff. He and the chief were about as
well suited to each other as q rattle

sneered at Washington's stif discip-
line and lofty honor. Washington
found Burr's evil morals disgusting and
was enraged at the youths impu-

headquarters. Jean had marvellous
control over his men, and, though he
seldom troubled himself to fight, he
was unconquerable. One night a band
Of mutineers attacked him in his
cabin. LATTE, single.handed, slew six
Of them and beat of the rest.
The pirates called Lafitte, behind
his back, "The Old Man." To his face
they called him "Bosse" (meaning lit
orally "prominence"). And thus the

except when he had to and held aloof
from them.
BY judicious bribes to the right au-
thorities he managed to steer clear Of
active prosecution, though countless
governmental threats were hurled at
him.
When the British planned their at
tack on New Orleans In the War Of
1872 they offered Jean Lafitte q cap
tain's commission and 100000 to Join
them with his men. Instead Of ac-
cepting, he sent word of the offer
(and Of the British plot against New
Orleans) to the American government,
volunteering his services In exchange
for a pardon. The British. in revenge,
destroyed his Barataria stronghold
and seized his ships. But the Ameri-

cepted Lafitte's offer. And the pirate

He hit on an odd way to sell his

and to take them to New Orleans.
There. as confiscated goods, they were
