WIN KING HARD.
the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir In his speech to the Lutheran min
listers yesterday Mayor Gaynor Is re-
ported as saying OF DIR. Parkhurst's So
ciety for the Suppression Of Vice: They
must wink awfully hard with both eyes
not to know that those whom they are
employing are taking graft" We know
of no one who must wink both eyes as
hard as the Mayor in order to avoid see
ing what ne refuses to see in the Police
Department. He would not allow even
Becker to be suspended until the proofs
were so strong against him that he was
arrested at his post. Out Of his own
mouth has the Mayor condemned himself
more strongly than any one else has done.

Big Tim" Sullivan had one cardinal

Bowery Of twenty years ago and the
East Side of to-day; and the district
knew and understood him. Big Tim
converted his knowledge into political
power and his political power into
dollars, according to Bowery stand

called him "a friend and associate OF
criminals and thieves" His support

When Big Tim" told his Bowery
constituents that he could represent
them better than Daniel Webster if he
returned to earth. the remark aroused
much sarcastic comment. Yet it was

THE FOUNDING OF NEW YORK.

The controversy which has been
raised over the proper date on when
TO celebrate the tercentenary or the
founding of New York City may never
be determined to the entire satlsfac-
ton of all who take part in IT. 1t will
doubtless do good by melting research
and thus promoting knowledge OF the
early history of this region. The tud-
son tercentenary Of few years ago
provoked less dispute and led to less
research. but it opened the way for the
present discussion and reminded peo-
ple of many sources Of information to
which access will now the more readily
be had.
Without being so temerarious as TO
assume to Judge among historians and
antiauarians, we must say that t1e
dispute seems largely if not wholly TO
turn upon the question Of what Is
meant by settlement. Does II mean
simply the establishment OF residence
and occupation by person or persons,
or must 1t include some degree OF So
cial and political organization! If the
former. the claims Of 1913 as the natal
year of New York may be indisputable.
If the latter, the date may have to be
postponed to 1923 or 1924.
1t seems to be pretty well established
that in 1913 several houses or cabins
were built on Manhattan Island and
were occupied by Hendrick Christian
sen and his comrades, agents and en-
ployes of Amsterdam fur merchants.
