The lot on which the building stands has
a frontage OF 70 feet on Broome street
and los feet on Mott. The land alone IS
valued by the city at $500.
Those who know something about the
Sullivan real estate enterprises believe
he made the deal months before his Ill

have taken charge OF the estate found the
deed and Immediately FASTENED to have
it recorded.
No one knows how much real estate the
big politician owns about the city. While
some of il is recorded. there are vast
properties which are held through dunn

Sipp Goes to Sanatorium.

1t was almost an hour later when the
younger Sipp came out of the District
Attorneys office accompanied by MT
Groehl, and as he approached the door
of the grand jury room one of'the detec-
tives got near enough to shove the
paper under the lapel Of his coat. MI
Groehl grabbed his young charge, how
ever, and the paper futtered to the
floor, where neither police nor attend
ants Of the, Criminal Courts Building
would touch 1t.
Detectives Conway and Talt. who had
charge OF the subpoena serving brigade
Of policemen, reported to Headquar-
ters that both Sipps had been served
while Mr.. Groehl and the county de-
tectlves reported to Mr.. Whitman that
no subpenaes had been served. II
seemed to be a stand-off, with a shade
in favor of the Sipps.
Sipp was taken from the Criminal
Courts Building directly TO a sana-

son Howard went TO his fathers home
at No. 80 West 130th street, where he
announced last night that, at the re-

DOING WELL
Government Buffalo Herd Is
Increased.

The birth of 10 calves in the buff.
falo herd maintained by the govern
ment ON the Wichita national forest
and game refuge, near Lawton,
Oklahoma, has been reported by the
game warden in charge. The herd
now contains a total of as head of
full blooded buffalo, or more proper
Iy, bison, Of which q are males and
81 females. All Of the a imals are
in spleadid condition.
In 1907 the American bison society
donated to the federal government
a nucleus herd of IS animals which
had been bred and reared in the
New York geologic ! park. The
animals were transported to the
Wichita national forest which is also
a game refuge and placed under the
care of the Forest Service. They
readily adapted themselves to their
new habitat, but the area upon
which they were placed was within
the zone affected by the Texas fever
tick and during the two or tire :
years following their transfer only
the constant care and watchfulness
of the forest officers prevented the
complete loss of the herd.
The animals were examined almost
daiIy to determine whether they had
become infested with Texas fever
ticks and We're placed in specially de-
signed cages and sprayed with crude
oil at intervals of from Is to 80 days,
mt notwithstanding the extreme
precautions which were adopted 81
of the animals died. Gradually,
however, the enclosures in which the
buffalo were confined were freed
from fever ticks and there is a pos
sibility that as the buffalo adapted
themselves to their new environment |
they became more or less immun, to |
the disease. No losses from Texas |
fever have occurred for several
years, and the herd has almost |!
qua 'rupled in number since it was
established.
The fact that the herd has not in
creased more rapidly is due largely
to the preponderance of male calves.
This characteristic of the buffalo is
so pronounced in all of the herds
now in captivity that cow is con-
twice as valuable as bull.
