pressed regret at not being able TO be
present and said he would be very glad

attention Of liberal men and women upon
the necessity of seeing that this institu-

its own interests II an institution which

cause OF woman's education should be
allowed 10 break up for lack of money.
He hoped the funds would be forthcoming

She promised TO be in court, and smiled
swcetly in Kirchner's face as he was led

Tribune Story Stirs Treasury.
From The Tribune Bureau.

From Inc Tribune bHi'dH.l
Washington. March 27-The Tribune's
exclusive and remarkably circumstantiaI
dispatch from Boston regarding the sys-
tematic smuggling. on the trail or when
the special agents Of the Treasury De-
nartment have been working for some
time created CONSERVATION in the Treas
urv Department to-day. Early this morn
ING lanes f. Curtis. the Assistant Secre-
tarv I'm charge OF customs, sought the
Secretary of the Treasury and he ana
Mr. McAdoo were in conference for more
than an hour.
For a time the forces Of the Treasury
which have been devoted TO uncoVerlhs
the smuggling system described IN Inc
Tribune were diverted TO an attempt 10
discover the authority for The Tribune
disnatch. and every effort was made 10
ascertain the source OF The Tribune's IN
formation, which. II was admitted was
so accurate as TO convince Secretary NC
Adoo that it came from inside sources
and of the highest authority The charse
was fatty made that The Tribune couId
not have procured such accurate ana de-
tailed information in Boston, ana that
the story must have come from Washing
ton. but the effort TO discover tho source
NJ Information was finally abandoned.
II was admitted that every detail gwen
in The Tribune was correct. and IL was
minated that further and sensational
disclosures would be forthcoming. What
those were. all officials declined TO say
but one of them sarcastically remarked
that IL was rather superfiuity Tor
commemorative OF The Tribune to ask for
news regarding matter concerning
which IL obviously had better informa-
,ion than the Secretary of the Treasury
himself.
All requests for further light on the
subject met with an emphatic refusal 10
cav anything whatever. accompanied oy
the insistent explanation that further
disclosures at this time would balk the
ends of Justice by giving warning to the
cuiltv ones. who. IL is earnestly hoped
will be implicated beyond the possibility
OF escape.
II Is obvious that the ramihcations OF
he system disclosed by The Tribune this
,oorninp are extensive and are the occa-
eiop Of considerable anxiety TO the
Treasury officials. who are bending every

PUSHCARTS A NECESSITY
Greatly Reduce Cost of Living,
Says Alderman Committee.
MARKET SPACE AVAILABLE
Tax of 81 a Week for Each
Wagon Would Bring City
$4,000 a Year.

| The special adermanic committee ap-
| pointed 20 investigate markets has found
| mat pushcarts' are an economic neces-
sty. as they tend greatly to reduce the
| high cost of living. Consequently. the
committee favors finding permanent mar
kets for them. Owing TO the length OF
| time required TO acquire land and erect
market buildings. the committee has Sc
lected open spaces In the city in which
to "segregate' the pushca~ts temporarily.
| Here are the sites:
| The old Essex Market Court House the
Blind Alley. lying between the old Is
sex Market and the abandoned school
house; the available portion OF the old
| Union Market. and the spaces under the
| Manhattan Bridge. bounded by Cherry
| and Monroe streets
| There are many pushCart men already
under the approach to Williamsburg
! Bridge. who are paying 81 a week TO the
city. but Controller Prendcrgast frequent
/ ly gets patches of complaints from these
license holders against pushcart men
who stand in the adjacent streets and
| compete with them without paying Il
| cent TO the city.
/ II all the pushcart pcdleTs on the
| lower East Side were segregated as de-
scribed. the committee saws they would
| turn in from $1,000 10 5000 year The
committee thinks the space lying under
the Park avenue tracks of the New YORK
| Central & Hudson River Railroad
would make suitable sites for pushcart
| markets. but the Corporation Counsel
finds that the aldermen haven't the
| power under the city charter 10 pre-
empt a public highway or any part there
of for q market; therefore. special amend
ments 10 the charter would have 10 he
secured.
The committee went through the lower
East Side on foot last summer TO inves-
| tigate conditions. They found themselves
! barricdded I'm many streets by pushcart
peders They also found shocking
lack of sanitary precautlon. Foodstuns
offered for sale were often placed on the
tops of garbage cans. Half clothed chill
drcn played among the fruits and yege-
tables and other foodstuns offered FOR
sale. The drippings from the carts
caused stagndnt pools 10 form. into
which the refuse from the pushcarts was
thrown indiscriminately and left 10 lie
and decay until such time as the street
cleaners could come along and remove
the debris.
1t would be impossible. in case Of fire,
for the engines To make their way
through without frshtful loss Of lie
by those on the street being tramplcd
upon by fire horses
There are, the committee finds. between
five and six thousand pushcarts In the
greater city. About 5000 OF these are
on the lower East Side and probably
100 on the upper East Side. About 30
per cent are licensed. Those in Manhat-
tan are well organized ana anxious 90
improve their condition The boroughs
OF The Bronx. Richmond and Queens are
not confronted by the pushcart problem.
In Brooklyn the sections SHOWN az the

pedlers.

CONEY ISLAND BOARDWALK
Estimate Board Approves Com
mittee's Report Favoring Plan.

Coney Island will have boardwalk.
The Board OF Estimate yesterday ap-
proved a report Of a special COMMITTEES
which recommended that the walk be
built and the cost assessed upon the ad-
Joining property owners. IL is likely that
there will be a protest on their part.
n they had hoped 10 get the walk at the
expense Of the geenral public.
The committee recommended that the
Corporation Counsel take steps 10 reclaim
some twenty-seven ec-es Of land that -
now submerged and that number or
charitable institutions that have homes
along the beach front be asked to place
them at Rockaway Beach
II is suggested that the walk be 81 feet
in width from West 3Ith street to West
10th street and that the property be-
tween the walk and the ocean be added
TO the Dreamland Park site.
