HOMES IN KEW GARDENS
More Than 1875 Erected in
Last Two Years.

At Kew Gardens, in the Borough Of
Queens, new houses are being erected
in all sections. Homeseekers and plot
buyers have been docking there in
large numbers in the last week.
The foresight of the owners in re-
tanning the old trees and in sparing
no expense has made this attractive
residence section OF Queens County the
most beautiful.
Kew Gardens is only fifteen min
utes from the Pennsylvania Terminal
and the heart of everything in Manhat-
tan. Fast electric train service is af
forded by the Long Island Railroad at
all hours during the day and night.
John J. Britton, the 1ales manager,
said yesterday that from the sales al
ready made he firmly believes that this
spring will be the most successful in
the history of Kew Gardens. In the
last two years over one hundred and
twenty-five houses have been built and
sold,

Arthur 5. Morris was a descendant
Of Robert Morris. of Lancashire, Eng
land. and Pennsylvania, who was one
Of the eigners Of The Declaration of In
dependence. This descendant of one
Of the illustrious sons of America early
became interested in religious matters,
and in 1871 went as a missionary TO
Japan, where he lived and labored until
his death. A large part Of his income
was derived from investments IN real
estate in this city.
By his will he directed that these
properties be sold and the proceeds be
given among others to Christ Church,
of Yokohama. Japan; the Domestic and
Foreign Missionary Society, the Evan
gelical Education Society, the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails, the Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Children. the New YORK As
ISOLATION for Improving the Condition
Of the Poor, the trustees of the fund

Of Deceased Clergymen. the American
Church Building Fund and others.
Il is in order to pay these requests
that the property is being sold a. abso-
lutte auction sale, without reserve or
protection, at a time when the war con
ditions now prevailing in Europe and
Mexico afford an unusual opportunity
to buy property at less than its actual
market value under normal conditions.
The properties to be sold reflect the
good judgment of Mr.. Morris in max

given that the vegetables, meats, fish

perts have travelled thousands OF miles
to examine this great food market, and
they have gone home feeling positive
that the success Of this enterprise viii

history of tho CITY.
Other striking demon stratlons Of the
realty opportunities offered by the
downtown section and the gratifying
way some of them are being ,,rdsped
by heads of progressive corporations
are among the most discussed topics
in realty circles. The big march Of
business which took place not long
ago indicated the downfall Of Four
teenth Street, many persons thought,
as vigorous retail shopping thorough
fare. Well, Fourteenth Street is still
drawing the crowds to its doors.
On this important subject this IS
what "The Real Estate Record and
Guide has to say, in part:
Fourteenth Street retains its charac-
ter as popular shopping district.
Thousands of employees working in the
many loft buildings which haze been
recently erected in the strca'5 nearby
use Fourteenth street as lnOIOuSn-
fare to and from their homes, and
the large traffic has aided the street in
retaining its retail trade This fact,
coupled with the location Of the sub
way express station and the stations
of the Third, Sixth and Ninth Ave
nue. elevated lines and the Hudson
tubes. places these stores within
easy reach of practically all parts
Of greater New York and sections Of
New Jersey. There are the additional
transit facilities of the crosstown sur
face lines, which connect with al! Of the
north and south car lines except those
east OF third Avenue.
"Fourtcenth Street is holding its own,
as far a. tenants are concerned, for
there is not single store vacancy
on the south side of the street, be-
: tween Fifth and Sixth Avenues, with
the exception Of the ten-story build
ing at the southeast corner OF Sixth
Avenue, which was formerly occupied
by the Fourteenth Street Store
Those who ore now getting Office
or loft space in the downtown section
for long terms at the present unusu
ally low prices have become party
to an agreement Will find their leases
to be more valuable with each succeed
ing year.

SUBURBAN LIFE PROFITS
BrightWaters Home Meets Re-
quirements of City Men.

Ralph lnce, principal producer in the
Nitagraph company. attributes much
Of his success to the quietude of his
daily commutation hour between the
Vitagraph Building, in Flatbush, and
mis- ong Island home, in Brightwaterc.
Mr.. Incc, when seen yesterday amid
5000 feet Of film, and almost as many
thousand Of movie" folk, said:
Nothing could induce me to give up
my small country estate. What appeals
to me about suburban life, aside from
its healthfuness and greater freedom,
is the seclusion and privacy afforded
by my daily train trips. You know that
a man can be more lonesome in a crowd
than on the desert. On the Long ISL
and Railroad | get q comfortable seat,
! smoke if ! want to. and | secure more
real privacy on the train than often in
my Office three things which the New
York subway does not afford.
81 DO more actual planning and have
solved more of my picture problems be
tween Bay Shore and Flatbush Avenue
than during any single hour in my Of
fee. Mathew Arnold was right when
he said in his book How to Live on
Twenty four Hours a Day that the
mornings journey 70 business is the
time TO formulate plans for the day 5
action.
Speaking Of Brightwaters reminds
me that three of our most successful
pictures were staged there, on account
Of the picturesque combination Of
woodland and waterfront scenery"
Mr. Ince referred to "A Million Bid"
THE Juggernaut' and "The Wreck"
all of which he produced
Mr.. lnce was first attracted 70
Brightwater. about five years ago,
when he bought bungalow in the Pines
section; since then he has built a
$4,000 mansion in the Lakes section.
Mr.. Ince is said TO be one of the high
est paid producers in the country. Miss
Anita Stewart. a leading Vitagraph
player, also lives in Brightwaters.

TO SURVEY ROUTE
FOR WATERWAY
New Act Empowers State
Engineer to Undertake
Long Island Task.

Property owners and residents gen.
orally of the south side of Long Island
are pleased with the recent action Of
Governor Whitman IN signing bill di-
recting the State Engineer and Survey
or TO make a survey of the area neces-
sary TO build. in conjunction with the
Federal Government, a deep waterway
or channel through the continent ways
Of the south shore.
Because of general retrenchment in
state expenditures, the Legislature did
not deem il wise, at this time, 20 APP
propriate money for the acquisition %
lands and rights of way for the crea-
ton of the waterway. No appropria-
ton is necessary for the survey. The
total cost of acquiring rights OF way
is estimated to be $995.O0
The matter has now assumed an Of
fetal status and the State Engineer is
directed to present the subject TO the
Legislature for further consideration
before February | next.
The delay is ascribed primarily TO
the fact that the state wishes 20 ascer
tain the probable cost Of the enter
prise, Independent OF the Federal gov
eminent.
II the pledges Of boards of super
visors and township officials on Long
Island amount 70 anything. the cost OF
the projected waterway 20 the common
wealth will be much reduced By rights
of way for laterals and easements
being decided by property owners and
towns
The entire south side Of Long Island
is eager for the waterway. Only last
winter a large delegation appeared be-
fore the Board of Army Engineers in
Washington 10 urge the waterway. The
government then took the attitude that
if the State of New York would bear
the expense of acquiring the lands and
rights of way the army engineers would
attend TO the rest. The chief item
of expense IS the acquiring Of a right
of way across the Rockaway peninsula
in order 10 join the waterway directly
TO Jamaica Bay, the latter of which is
being developed as part OF the port
of New York.
Four waterways are already complet-
co by private enterprise that can be
used as laterals for the main channel
the three deep harborS al Baldwin
Harbor, Nassau County, and the Vene-
tian canal at Brightwaters, in Suffolk
County. The steady upbuilding Of the
south shore OF Long Island assures an
extensive use of a deep waterway by
pleasure as well as mercantile craft.

Here's a newsy editorial paragraph
from the Columbus Dispatch: "Ohio

animation for secretary and chief ex-
aminer of the Philadelphia civil ser.

their experience in Ohio. One of them
was retired by the Republican mayor

PACKERS APPEAL TO
STATE Department
Demand That England Stop In
terfering With Cargoes.

Washington, July 1.-THE big meat
packers of the United States appealed
to the state department to demand
that Great Britain stop interfering
with their cargoes consigned to ncu.
trail ports and settle for $14,000,000
worth of their products now held up
in prize courts. They charge the
British government with the destruc-
tion of commerce in food products be-
tween the United States and otnsr
neutral nations.
After two conferences between tle
packers and Chandler Anderson, spe-
cial counselor of the state depart
ment, it was announced that the de-
partment would make representations
to Great Britain. 1t is understood
that this will be done Immediately.
In a statement outlining their case
as laid before the state departm snt,
they declare tnat the British govern
ment purposely delays settlement of
their claims for seized cargoes, and
that they are not inclined to reopen
trade with neutral countries unless
they can be assured Of delivery OF
their shipments to ports designated.
