THE NEXT WORK

DESIRED BY The RESIDENTS
Initial Work to That End is
Being Done

The paving of Lee street, Taylo'

seemingly huge proposition, is not
too great an undertaking for PRO
gressivs Americus,' and is an assured
eventuality Americas, since all Ct
the streets in the business district
have thus been improved, is full
convert to street paving and even the
most pronounced crouch and chronic
kicker would not now go back to con
ditions existing two years ago. AS one
of the principle residence streets uf
Americas, Lee street must soon he
paved it's entire length of one and ID
quarter miles, to the southern limits
Property owners will heartily favor
the proposition, as aside from the
standpoint of comfort and appearance
assured by paved streets, the general
of every property on the
street thus improved will be very great
and far in excess of the cost of the
work. Americas must progress upon
all lines, and the paving of her prin-
cipal streets is a decided step in the
march of progress.

man BUT LITTLE KNOWN
DIES WORTH $45,OOO,OOO

New York, Oct. 9.-The estate OF
Benjamin Altman, president OF the dry
goods firm of B. Altman & Co., who
died at the age of 70 years YESTERDAY,
is said to amount to probably $4,000
900. About third of this wealth
represented by art objects, of which
Mr.. Altman had one of the finest pri-
vate collections in the country, pa
ticularly in the line of paintings and
porcelains. His real estate holdings
are valued at s2O,OOO,OOO.
Mr.. Altman was bachelor and had
led a very secluded life, especially dur

stefan, said that although Mr.. Altman
was prominent as merchant and as ::
man of great wealth, it was doubtful
if there were one hundred persons n
New York, who knew him by sight.

ASSOCIATION HAS A MEETING
And Decides to Continue the
Work in Hand

The ladies of the Americas Hospital
association held an animated and in
teresting meeting yesterday morning,
at which they discussed the movement
now ON foot to oppose the building OF
the hospital upon the lot selected out
on the southside. The meeting was
well attended, and much determination
of purpose was expressed.
The ladies interested in the work OF
building the hospital feel that the OBJ
jections set forth by some of the resi-
dents of the keighborhood to having
the building these are not tenable.
They strenuously deny that the hos
pital will in anywise prove objection
able to anyone.
At all events they decided at the
meeting yesterday to prosecute the
work with vigor and to continue their
efforts to give Americas a modern
hospital. "If we are stopped by threat
ened legal proceedings, we can do
nothing more than STOP" said one cf|
the officials yesterday, until the mat
ter is settled in the courts"
In the meantime, the ladies declare
they will go ahead with their work a.,
outlined. Several carloads of brick
and other building material has been
delivered upon the proposed site, and
other shipments are due to arrive to-
day.

LIGHT TO Be SHED
ON SCHOOL FOOTBALL
Poly Prep. Favorite in Game
with Commerce High at
Poly Field.

Much light will be shed upon the inter
scholastic football situation in greater
New York and better line on the
strength of the various teams may be
had after the games this afternoon. With
half dozen elevens meeting IN impor-
tant games which will have a definite
bearing upon the championship. all bat
teries will have TO be unmasked. and
full power exerted to win.
Polytechnic Preparatory School. OF
Brooklyn, will meet the High School OF
Commerce at Poly Field In what the
critics believe will be the most bitterly
fought of the marlborough games; De
Witt Clinton. aspirants TO championship
honors. will face the Boys High School
OF Brooklyn at Manhattan Field; ErAs-
mus Hall will take the field against Com
mercal High School at Commercial
Field. while Stuyvesant High School will
try to repel the charges Of the Bay Ridge
High School eleven.
Chief interest centres around the game
between Poly Prep and Commerce. These
teams, perennial contenders for the scho-
lastc championship. have not met on the
gridiron since 1906. when Commerce. with
It's unbeaten eleven, overcame COM
manding lead in the first half and won by
a score OF "a to II. Poly is a strong ia
vorite for the game this afternoon. With
her full strength in the field against an
eleven crippled b. the loss OF several Of
its best men. Poly has more than an
even chance OF winning, and by COM
Portable margin.
Second in importance is the meeting Of
Boys High School and De Witt Clinton.

teams OF recent years. Under careful
coaching. the boys have developed in d
surprising manner and are playing a
forceful. sound game. The team is heavy.

ready for hard Came. Both teams are
well versed in latter day football, and the
forward pass will doubtless be seen in

Follow Eleven Full of Real

IBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Princeton, n. j.. oct. 24.-Everything
but the weather is now ready and waiting
for the Princeton Dartmouth struggle on
the gridirOn tomorrow, but the weather
rs neither ready nor waiting and is caus-
ing no small amount OF uneasiness by
delugng the battle grounds in a steady
rain that looks like an all night affair.
Every effort is being made TO protect
the field as much az possible, but ii Is
feared that the Tiger is due to wallow in
the mud with the Green under conditions
that will give opportunity for the play OF
chance 10 enter into the game.
Princeton finished a hard weeks work
IN preparation for the struggle by run
ming through long signal drill. Every
man had disappeared from the field by 4
o'clock, and, If instructions were obeyed,
was resting for the severe test tomorrow.
Conditions will be exactly the reverse
of last year, for Dartmouth will have
light line and the Tigers a heavy one.
This made little difference a year ago, as
Dartmouth took bad drubbing from the
Tigers b. score of 90 to in spite of
the far heavier line.
The men from Hanover claim a stronger
offence than defence this year. and the
reverse was the case last season. for II
was the Tigeys who placed their hope in
speed tn overcome weight To Princeton
men the reverse comparison stops there,
for they cannot bring themselves t2 believe
that Dartmouth has enough speed to en-
tirely make up for the lack of weight.
The coaches seemed undecided tonight
about right end as between Lamberton
and Shea. The former may get the call
on account Of his punting ability.
