New York, May 1.-THE rapidity
with which political and geographi-
cal changes occur in this city is illus
trated by the fact that Tammany Hail
ward to a new home near Central
Park. It has also been announced by
Fourteenth street and journey north
is to leave its historic wigwam in
the Sachems of the Society of Tam
many-to give the famous political
organization its official name-that
they will take the cornerstone of the
present headquarters with them.
Some of the 126-year- carving on
the cornerstone is fast becoming il
leGible, but the society would not
part with 1t for its weight in gold.
With the decision of the sachems to
move to a modern structure. there
soon will pass into history one of
New York's best known buildings,
which for nearly half century has
been the axle of the wheel of Demo-
cratic politics in the city. Famed in
sons end story and for many years
the real seat of municipal govern
ment. Tammany Hall for forty-seven
years has stood monument to mu-
nicipal machine politics and bosses.
1t was in 1868 that the present wig
wam was built, and at that time 1t
was in the suburbs. Its roof loomed
high above its neighbors. To-day
it is sandwiched in between a movie
theater and a cafe, while it is dwarfed
by the surrounding skyscrapers. The
Tammany Hall museum" as its
record room is called, contains many
valuable American relics and htstori-
cal data. Tammany Hall has been
the stage. or at least the background,
for decades of political manipulation.
1t was there that Tweed, Kelly and
Croker consulted with their lieuten-
ants, mapping out the campaigns. 1t
was there in the private rooms that
deals involving hundreds of thousands
and sometimes millions of dollars
would be worked out: it was there
that the political ward heeler would
drop in at regular intervals. But all
this was of past generations. During
the last ten years Tammany Hall has
been run more on the open door"
plan and matters requiring privacy
were attended to elsewhere. IT Tam
many Hall is razed to make way Tor
some modern building, as 1t undoubt-
edly will be- New York will lose the
distinction of having the only hall in
the State in which a Democratic ma
tional convention was held.
School For Detectives
According to an announcement
made several days ago by the Police
Commissioner, New York is to have

Berlin Expresses Regret
For Loss of Americans

Berlin, via London, May 1.-THE
following dispatch has been sent by
the German Foreign Office to the Ger
man Embassy at Washington:
please communicate the following
to the State Department: The Ger
man Government desires to express its
deepest sympathy at the loss of lives
on board the Lusitania. The responsi-
bility rests, however, with the British
Government, which, through its plan
of starving the civilian population of
Germany, has forced Germany to re-
sort to retaliatory measures.
I'm spite of the German offer to
stop the submarine war in case the
starvation plan was given up. British
merchant vessels are being generally
armed with guns and have repeatedly
tried to ram submarines, SO that a
previous search was impossible.
"They cannot. therefore, be. treated
as ordinary merchant vessels. A re-
cent declaration made to the British
Parliament by the Parliamentary Sec
rotary in answer to a question by Lord
present practically all British mer-
chant vessels were armed and pro-
vided with hand grenades.
Besides, it has been openly admit
ted by the English press that the Lusi-
tania on previous voyages repeatedly
carried large quantities of war mate
rial On the present voyage the Lusi-
tania carried 5,400 cases of ammuni-
ton, while the rest of her cargo also
consisted chiefly of contraband.
IF England. after repeated official
and unofficial warnings, considered
herself able to declare that that boat
ran no risk and thus light-heartedly
assumed responsibility for the human
| life on board a steamer which, owing
to it's armament and cargo was liable
to destruction, the German Govern
ment, in spite of its heartfelt sym
pathy for the loss of American lives
cannot but regret that Americans felt
more inclined to trust to English
promises rather than to pay attention
to the warnings from the German
side"

recruits will be selected at a time,
and each week five of them will be
detailed to detective squads to observe
the older sleuths at work. The men
thus assigned will travel with each
squad, but will take no active part
in the work. They will then go to
the school for month. where lee

methods of detecting crime will be
given. During this time they will be

they are called. They will journey
with the detectives in crowded cars

detectives. They will also be in
structed in criminal law and the pre-
senting of evidence.
War on Quack Doctors
The arrets several days ago of fifty
four men doing a quack medicine
business-the biggest raid of the sort
ever made in New York city, has
thrown a great scare into fake doc
tors and bids fair to make the prac-
tice of their cruel impositions a
hazardous matter in future. In every
borough medical Offices are being
closed up and the medical heads
are busy packing their purchased di-
plomas into suit cases and studying
timetables. The most interesting fea-
ture of the methods used in the raid
is the charge made in almost every
case of maintaining public nuisance,
a charge that has never been en-
ployed in this class of police work
before. Under this accusation, as
soon as an arrest is made the au-
thorities can station a policeman in
the doctors office and keep him there.
Hitherto these arrests have been un-
satisfactory because the medical Of
fees" kept right on doing business.
In addition to the charge of being a
public nuisance. some of the quacks
are accused of practicing medicine
without a license. An effort will be
made by the authorities to compel a

partial restitution to the patients of
the doctors especially in the more
distressing cases, such as that of a
poor widow who paid $500 to a quack
to have her husband cured of tuber-
culosis. The police say they have
more than 1000 witnesses ready to
testify If necessary regarding the
frauds that have been perpetrated by
the quacks.
Awarded Medals
A red-letter occasion for the 1000
members of New York's street clean
ing force took place several days ago
when ineteen men received medals
and 100 others got certificates of
honor for meritorious work. In MAX
ing the presentation address the city
chamberlain referred to the street
cleaners as New Yorks standing
white army of Peace" Few people
realize the number of lives these
humble street cleaners are saving by
keeping the streets clean and healthy.
1t has been said by those who are ia
miliar with street cleaning systems
in other countries that, although
New York has a very difficult prob
lem in the handling of its enormous
daily accumulations of garbage and
ashes. that here is no other city where
II is as we'll done. Since Colonel
Waring directed the city's attention
to the Importance of street cleaning
work, New York has become as proud
of it's men in white as it is of the
men in the police uniform.
Straw Hat Day
A new institution which it is pro-
posed to establish here is Straw Hat
Day. The great difficulty is in decid-
ing on what date the day should fall
One man suggests May 1 would be
suitable, basing his decision on the
fact that the wearing of straw hats
logically should follow the opening
of the baseball season. He points out
that a derby is not a comfortable
headgear for wear in a grandstand
and that it is not in keeping with a
ball game. Another straw hat enthu-
siast reasons that men should be al
lowed to wear a straw hat the first
really warm day of any season with
out being subjected to jests. He
points out the fact that women are
permitted to wear straw hats in jan
uary without any comment and hs
claims that men should have the
same privilege. Another suggests that
the newspaper cartoonists and joke
smiths be forbidden to make the early
wearer of the straw hat an object oi
ridicule. One newspaper has started
a campaign for the adoption of May s
as the best compromise date for Straw
Hat Day ere long.
