PROSPERITY DINNER
FOR FIFTH AVENUE
Association Members Talk Bust
ness, Tax and Traffic at
Fifth Annual Affair.

Four hundred members Of the Fifth
Avenue Association attended the fifth
annual dinner. given in the grand ball
room Of the Waldorf-Astoria last even
ing. Their optimistic feelings as to the
future of Fifth Avenue were reflected
by the word Prosperity" in electric
lights above the guest table.
Mayor Mitchell was to have made the
principal address, but because of his
illness George McAneny, President Of
the Board of Aldermen, took his place.
The other speakers we're Jacob II.
Schiff, Martin W. Littleton. Senator
Ogden L. Mills and Public Service
Commissioner William Hayward.
At the guest table, besides the speak
ers, were Fire Commissioner Robert
Adamson, District Attorney-elect Ed
ward Swami, Police Commissioner Ar
thur Woods, City Chamberlain Henry
Bruere, Borough President Marcus NJ.

Henry II. Curran. John d. Crimmlns,
Lawson Purdy. John T. Fetherston, Ed
ward VI. Morgan, William Williams,
Lauren Carroll, R. Ross Appleton,
Samuel W. Taylor and A. A. Anderson.
Mr.. McAneny paid a tribute to the
Mayor and his administration OF city
affairs and then turned to discus
sion of some of the problems which
face the city. Mr.. McAneny said that
the future contemplated Improvements
in Park Avenue might relieve the traf-
hc congestion on Fifth Avenue and that
additional lines for crosstown transit
would then prove valuable aid TO
Fifth Avenue business houses.
Senator Mills discussed the tax prob
lem with especial reference to an equal
distribution of the burden. He said
that increasing additional sums must
be raised by taxation in the future
and that the merits of the income tax
entitle il to serious study and earnest
consideration.
Commissioner Hayward suggested a
possible plan for relief from the
crowded condition of transit lines in
the city at rush hours. He said: the
nature of the business in general in a
great many establishments is not such
as 10 require the attendance OF en-
ployes during ordinary business hours.
Accordingly, it is suggested that there
might be a considerable relief to rush
hour conditions il there could be gen.
eral cooperation in shifting the hours
Of work so that employees can begin at
an earlier or later time and quit ac-
cordingly. To bring this about | Dur-
pose calling upon the leading CONNER
cial. industrial and official bodies to
helm out in this work.

monstrated with him for inducing her
husband to leave her. 1t developed
during the trisl that Mrs. Gershel was

charge of cruelty was that her hus-
band had concocted for her witch
i'll. This new thing in the way of
drinks consisted of witch hazel, egg
and milk and, Of course. alcohol, since
most witch hazel is at least rs per
cent alcohol.
Gershels lawyer seemed to score a
surprise on Towns when he brought
out that Mrs. Gershel had received a
sentence of five years in the Federal
