A False Tale OF New York Denied

A False Tale OF New York Denied.
Within the last month an effort has
been made 10 create the impression that,
with rega I'd to the condition Of nonem'
ployment existing In New York. the
city authorities had made inadequate
provision to care for those who were
without resources. The statement that
hungry, cold and homeless men were
turned away from the municipal lodg-
ing house because Of lack Of room has
been frequently repeated. New York
has been depicted not only as heartless
but AZ wofully shortsighted In an i'm
portant detail Of city housekeeping.
That these allegations were untrue
has been obvious 10 all who had ever
a slight acquaintance with the facts
Yet they have persisted. and gained
crc,ience even with some persons OF
intelligence. On this account the sub
joined explicit and unequivocal decla.
ration Is OF interest:
AT no time, at least since the present
administration came In. have applicants
to the municipal lodging house been
turned away"
This specific denial is made by JONI
A. KrNGsBURY, Commissioner Of Chair
ties. The period since the present adj
ministration came into Office covers tn,
months Of which greatest complaint hi,
been made. The refutation OF the
falschoods that have been forced into
circulation deserves the attention OF
all who have been deceived thereby.

New Jersey Bridge aud Tunnel
Prospects.

biVSpCNNSs
There IL much reason to think that
the real estate men who argue against
the construction Of bridges or tunnels
connecting New York. that Is to say
Manhattan Island. with New Jersey
are taking parochial and mistaken
view OF the prospects that such links
with adjacent territory would create.
Their notion seems to be that facilitat.
ing the settlement Of nearby New Jcr-
Sey by making access tn the metropolis
easy might lead to the depopulation of
the latter, or at least would retard It's
0enser population. Thus the interests
Of real estate owners and dealers would
be put In jeopardy.
On its face this is a paradox. II
might he said that the very reverse
was true. When the so-called McAdoO
tubes were in course OF construction
and newly opened there Was no small
hostility manifested toward them in the
nearer cities and towns OF New Jersey
on the ground that they would operate
10 the great advantage Of New York.
It was admitted that they would bring
population to New Jersey. but 1t was
feared that they would divert the vast
bulk Of retail business to the metro
pOlitan stores. The fear has proved
to be moi without foundation. Certain
palitles this side Of the Passaic have
been In languishing condition since the
tube placed the shopping centre Of Man
haitian within fifteen minutes Of their
homes.
The fact is New York runs the risk
Of far more serious losses to real es-
tate and all other interests through
failure to provide New Jersey with easy
access to her centres of business and
amusement than any likely to accrue
from the centrifugal movement Of pop
ulation. One or two things may be
taken for granted A certain proper
ton OF the metropolitan population will
always seek the suburbs. Dislike of
tons at moderate cost, the health OF
children, love of the open. garden life,
will drive tens of thousands out through
northern New jerseys pleasant town.

Athletics, Friday,

monotony by playing pincchle as they
held their places in the line.
The Braves came here crippled by
the loss of Smith, the little third base
man, who has been playing a star

broke his leg today in the game with

The last score of years Of develop
ment in this country has been more
or less of a clash between the Eas'
and the West. The two sections Of
the country have e0me into compe.i
ton with each other in every kind Of
activity, in industry, in education, in
politics, and in culture. The West
being newer, has had to hammer It's
virtues into the East by brute
| strength, principally, and it's success
has been phenomenal. In the world
of sports, it has been the same. In
baseball the Wes1 has long stood
just as high as the East, Chicago ED
Detroit putting it there by walking
away with the pennant races in the
big leagues. The clash between East
and West in football, however, has
been slow to come. In fact, the first
real year of inter-sectional test Is
the one we're living in.
The game developed in the East,
and they've been at it so long and
have been playing each other for so
many years that they haven't been
able to see the real football ability
in the west. The truth of the mat
ter is, that In some parts of the East
the lack Of information is so appall-
ing that they believe that out here in
North Dakota we don't know any
more about football than a COW does
about Christmas. Those who have
had a chance to watch both eastern
MD ,yoe+or, too ~ IN ontior kn0vy
that the East has strolled far from
the path of reason when it makes
the statement that etlsilern football
is far superior d to-. western. During
the pas, few Years the East and
West have BEEN ~getting together
more often.
Last year, Michigan made Cornell,
Syracuse and Pennsylvania look like
novices ait the game, while Notre
Dame handed a w%alloping to the
Army that taught them so much that
they defeated the Navy with the
tricks they had learned from the
West. The best in the West, how
ever, did not get a chance to meet
the best in the East-Harvard was
too much upon her dignity. The
Northumberland game has been ar
ranged now, and on October 81, all
of the football fans of this country
will have their eyes focused on the
stadium at Cambridge where the big
gest inter-sectional football contest
in history will be staged. Then all
eyes will go to New Haven, where
Notre Dame will seek to hammer old
Yale into submission. This game,
however, will not be as important as
the Michigan-Harvard game for the
reason that Yale is acknowledged to
be far weaker than Harvard and,
therefore, can not be accepted as the
best the East can present. There is

But, @
"The Graves have a chance, a good

pennants in a row and then tumbled.

He's worked againsta both gangs.

In sending out the report of the
indiana Chicago football game last
Saturday, the Associated Press first
gave the name of lndiana's right
guard as Dice. Later a flash was sent
out changing the Hoosier guards
name to Bones. The gentleman re-
ferred to, whatever his lame was,
probably was shaken up we'll, before
his team finally lost out in it's ef-
fort to make its point.
To continue in the same vein, the
Athletics in their three worlds series
played 16 games, Of which they won
II, and in which they made IS runs
l52 hits, % sacrifice hits, and stole 16
bases. This is al average Of 5.4 runs
a game and 9.5 hits. A study of these
figures would probably not inspire
James, Rudolph, Tyler, ct al, with
firm and everlasting confidence.
But again, as Ring Lardner opines
in the Sat Eve. Post, if Cannie Con

because he's tired shaking hands.
