WITH AN EYE TO THE FUTURE
Manner of Laying Out the Streets OF
New Town Should Be Most
Garefuily. Considered.

For outlying districts. narrow. wind
ing. or diagonal streets make 1t pos
sible to spend more on the sanitation
Of the homes. declares a man who
has made a study Of city planning.
Where traffic Of the future promises
to be dense and wide street may at
some time be wise, in the intervening
years a narrow paved area, bordered
by grass and trees. !s good economy,
good sense, and good health.
AS between rectangular streets e1'
clusiyely and combination in which
some of the streets are diagonal and
some rectangular. Robinson says
aesthetics, sanitation. and convent
ence all favor the latter.
In Vienna the crowds are handled
with less inconvenience than In any
other city. and there the cars come
in on diagonal streets to the Rig
strasse, which they follow around to
deliver their passengers as near as
possible to their destinations.
Robinson says: "The two diagona!
streets, Broadway and the Bcwery
In New York saved for the city
breathing spots like Madison and
Union squares-space out OF reach II
condemnation had been required"

Utilization of Vacant Lots.

For several years the City Beautiful
page has advocated the use and beau
tification Of vacant city lots, calling at
tention to the success attained In
eastern cities through the work OF Va
cant Lot associations, etc. The prob
lem now seems near to solution. The
various schools Of the city have ex'
tended their school garden work 10
nearby unused property. and II this
movement does not culminate in the
appropriation Of all vacant lots it will
at least call attention to the impor
tance Of control Of one Of our great

wealth of it's nelghbor, Missouri. is
$500, that OF Kansas is S1.7O0. When

Weeds In the Walks.

For weeds in pavemsnts or gravel
walks, make a strong brine Of coarse
salt and boiling water, put the brine in
a sprinkling can and water the weeds
thoroughly, being careful not to let
any Of the brine get on the grass, or
it will kill 1t, too.

LOST ALL ON V0LTURNO,
SHE BECOMES BRIDE HERE
Russian Girl Bewails Missing
Wedding Clothes, but Happy
She Escaped.

Chaja Baltaksa, pretty nineteen-year-
old Russian girl, came through fire ana
the sea to become the bride OF her child
hood sweetheart at the City Hall yester-
day. She was one of the survivors OF the
Volturno. Through an Interpreter the
bright immigrant girl told Of her hap
piness In being saved TO become a BRIDE
while at the same time she demureiy
complained that her trunk. which con-
tanned all the pretty little adornments
which she had been preparing for the last
two years for her trousseau went down
with the wreck. She wore a plain white
dress"
Her husband. Abraham sanatzky.
painter. twenty-five years old. Of NO. ~
East lG9th street, tenderly guarded the
girls left arm. on which there was long
red scar. as the reporters crowded around
the happy couple. He explained for her
that her arm was burn ed when she at
tempted to slide down a rope to one OF
the Kroonland's lifeboats. She dropped
into the water half way down the rope
and was picked up by the lifeboat crew.
Sanatzky said that ne and his wife had
! lived in the neighboring towns OF Rotnes-
trofska and Gorodste. in Russia. TWO
years ago he came to America. Before
he left he exacted promise from the
| girl to come TO this country when he
should have accumulated enough money
10 pay her passage. Six weeks ago he
sent her the money. and she started on
the Volturno to meet her sweetheart In
an unknown land.

CITY TO BE STEEL CENTRE
Plans for Blast Furnaces Here
When Barge Canal Opens.

The Merchants Association announced
yesterday that there are on foot three
projects looking to the establishment OF
blast furnaces on New York Harbor
The Industrial bureau OF the association
has been looking up the possibilities OF
New York as a centre OF the iron and
steel industries and has decided tina,
this situation is ideal
The opening of the barge canal. IL is
said. will give New York an immense
advantage in this respect. The cost OF
assembling the raw material in the pig
iron business amounts To about one.
third OF the total production cost
Equally important is the cost OF distri-
the barge canal is opened. New York
will get iron ore from Buffalo at from
80 to IS cents a ton. The rate from Lake
Erie ports to Pittsburgh is IS cents. When
the Lake Champlain Canal is enlarged the
deposits In that district can be shipped
direct to New York at low cost. New
York also has a great advantage In fue
cost over many districts.
# is also pointed out that New York
Is the natural receiving centre for the
importation or ores from South Amer
lea. Mexico. Cuba. Nova Scotia, New
foundland. Sweden. Norway and Spain.
Cheap pig iron production is the prime
factor In cheap steel production. The
Merchants Association looks forward
to the time when New York will be the
site of great steel works and rolling
mills

SPINSTERH0ARDED MILLION
Recluse Lived in Small Room
Left Fortune to Relatives.

Miss Sarah. knight. who lived for sew
eral years In a small room on the tor
floor OF one OF the buildings she owned, II
No. II West 18th street, was possessed. IL
was learned yesterday, OF more than
100000 in stocks and real estate in this
city. The exact amount of her fortune
is not known. That she boarded money
for more than twenty years is as much
surprising to her nearest kin as is the
fact that the estate is so large.
Miss Knight who was seventy years
old. died In st. Luke's Hospital last
Tuesday morning. She was buried In
Kensico Cemetery yesterday. after which
the executor of the estate. George X.
Mickey, OF Sedalia. Mo-. went to the Of

WHO PAYS FOR THE BACON?
Dog, Fat and Contented, Views
Controversy with Calm.

Two well fed rosy checked Englshmen
paced up and down the Cunard Line pier
Yesterday after the Mauritania came in
hour about ;he disposition Of IS side OF
Irish bacon and an English bulldog. They
parted friends. although their controversy
may later be settled by court Of arbi-
tration made up OF business associates.
The bulldog. called Darjeeling. was the
cause OF the misunderstanding.
About six weeks ago Alfred Rorke, OF
the local staff of the Central News Ser
vice of London, sailed suddenly for Eng
land. On the day OF his departure Harry
Rascovar. an advertising agent. asked
Rorke to buy him a prize bulldog in
England. Thomas w. Williams, a writer.
formerly Of Rangoon. asked Rorke TO buy
him a side Of Irish bacon Rorke agreed
advancing the money for both purchases
in London.
Rorke boarded the boat train for Liver
pool at Euston station on Saturday with
the dog and the bacon. and gave both to
the train steward for safe keeping.
AS the train came into Rugby Rorke
heard a terrific noise In the stewards
compartment. and rushing in found the
steward trying 10 separate DarJeeing
from the bacon, one-half of which he had
eaten. He boarded the Mauritania with
a whole dog and a half side OF bacon,
and by the time the Mauretania came of
Fire Island yesterday Darjeeling had
eaten the remainder Of the bacon.
Williams thought Rorke should have
brought home the bacon, but as Rasco-
vars dog had devoured. 1t the owner
should pay.
Rascovar contended that the dog was
not his when the delicacy was eaten. and
therefore he was not liable for the loss.

SAY DR.. BLAKE SHOULD
CLEAR MRS. MACKAY
Her Friends Think He Ought to
Put All the Blame on His
Own Wife.
"MISTAKE" TO STOP SUIT
Rumors of Settlement Many,
but Every One Connected
with the Case Enters
Prompt Denials.

Friends OF Mrs. Clarence II. Mackay do
not like DR.. Joseph A. Blake's reported
effort to compromise the 100000 suit
brought by his wife for the alienation or
his affections. Three Of them spoke out
yesterday not in criticism OF any person
connected with the suit, but to say what
should be done with It.
IF DR.. Blake stops the legal proceed
ings brought by his wife he will make
grave mistake" they said. 1T is DE-
Blake's duty to show in open court that
his wife is the cause of the whole anair'
and thus clear Mrs. Mackay's name per-
fectly. He should prove that Mrs Blake
disposition caused the separation between
her and himself, and not any alienation
OF affections on the part Of an innocent
person"
More than that, 1t was alleged that
Joseph A. Blake. jr.. favored his fatner
in the matter OF the separation between
him and the plaintiff in the famous pro-
ceedings. and that he had not seen MS
mother since the suit vas begun. Ihls'
however. was denied by Mrs. Bake

HIS LOVE SPURNED, HE
SHOOTS GIRL AND SELF
Barber Sends Three Bullets
Into Victim, Who Staggers
Home. Badly Wounded.

Annette Perfume, an Italian dressmak-
or nineteen years old. Of No. ASP West
loth street. was shot three times last
night at Eighth avenue and 3sth street
nv Louis Ostuni, a barber, Of No. 1862
West 45th street who then turned his re-
volver on himself and fired two bullets
into his abdomen.
The girl, although she had three bullets
in her body. walked five blocks TO her
home. where she was treated by her fam
ily physician. Ostuni was taken to the
New York Hospital where 1t is said he
will die
Jealousy is said to be at the bottom OF
the shooting. Ostuni had asked the girl
to marry him many times, but she had re-
fused Last night she was walking on
Eighth avenue, when. at 3Sth street
Ostun appeared and demanded that she
marry him at once.
At the time of the shooting Of the girl,
George Spinello, a walter, twenty-three
years old, of No. 44O West 39th street, was
seen to dart away through the crowd.
Somebody yelled. There he goes!" and
began TO chase him.
The man was overtaken after a short
sprint. He turned to face Patrolman Nc
Cormick. of the West 9Th street station.
and put his hand TO his back pocket.
Before he could draw a revolver. McCor-
mick brought his nightstick down on the
Italians head, stretching the man un-
conscious on the sidewalk. 1t was not
until after he had taken his prisoner TO
the station house that Mccormick dis
covered Spinello had not fired the shots.
When the man was searched. however,
a pair OF brass knuckles was found i'm his
pockets. He was locked up on charge
of carrying concealed weapons.
Ostuni is a prisoner, charged with felo-
NOUS assault.
