Demand for More Facili-
ties in Bronx for Han
ding Tonnage.
RECEIVING PACIFIC
COAST BUSINESS
Harlem Transfer Company Pre-
pairing for Much Trade via
the Great Lakes.
BY c, J. PHILLIPS,

General Manager Harlem transfer CO'
The lexington av. subway contrac-
tors have occupied part of our land In
their tunneling Of the Harlem River.
Upon the completion of this work 1t
is purposed 10 crest on our terminal a
ten story steel and concrete warehouse
and power building, TO be sublet for
the various uses for which it IS adapt
ed. As a matter of fact, this new build
ing will render much the same service
as the Bush Terminal.
The reasons for the expansion OF
this terminal are many, but one which
appears TO be most important is the
indication of 3 demand for increased
facilities for the handling Of tonnage
which will originate on the Pacific
Coast inclusive Of Alaska, and which
will be sent to the Atlantic seaboard
via the Panama Canal. This business
is already Of great importance, and
only recently the Lackawanna handled
steamer carrying $4,000 cases OF
canned salmon, all of which was re
shipped 70 the easterly part OF the
Central West The proposed improve
mcnt Of our Bronx terminal Will great
~ facilitate the handling Of business
OF this sort Traffic moving via these
routes and II the manner described is
c. rried a. a much cheaper rate nan BY
ail-ruil lines from the Pacihc Jast.
Another feature that impresses us as
being very important in connection
with our proposed development is the
proposed terminal Of the barge canal,
almost Immediately adjoining our prop
erty. A turning basin is to be con-
structcd at that point, which will
greatly facilitate the handling or the
floating equipment of all lines. There
are dozens OF commodities which Will
have natural Interchange between
the canal lines at their terminal and
the rail lines we represent. Close proX-
unity of these terminals causes US to
feel that the proposed service and IA
cilities cannot be excelled. It Is not
too much to anticipate that the busi-
ness via these terminals TO and from
points on the Great Lakes-Duluth,
Port Arthur, Milwaukee, Chicago, etc
will be tremendous.
These conditions stated briefly are
probably the most important among
the many that cause US TO feel that
the section north Of the Harlem River
will continue TO grow, and this feeling
on our part makes It necessary that
We provide the improved and increased
transportation facilities to correspond.
All of the lines that are represented
in the Harlem Transfer Company keep
a very efficient force Of solicitors in
The Bronx, and it is felt that the ser
vice rendered by these lines through
the Harlem Transfer Company is equal
to any service in the greater New York
section.
The Harlem Transfer Company is a
corporation, which in 1905 located
terminals on The Bronx side Of the
Harlem River. This company has as
its object the receiving and delivering
of freight, both carload and less, for
the B. & o., the Erie, the D., L. & W.
railroads, and the Staten Island Rapid
Transit Railway Company. The D.,

BUYS LARGE ACREAGE
Mrs. Barger Wallach Gets
Long Island Farms.

LEcluse. Washburn & Co, after a
long period Of preliminary effort, nave
acquired for Mrs. Barger Wallach, Of
New York and Newport. several farms
in the Brookville Jericho section Of
Long Island. The property has exten-
sive road frontages on both the Brook
vile and Jericho and the Brookville
and Oyster Bay roads. 1t is about
equally divided in open grass land and
finely timbered areas. On the prop
erty are several attractive lakes.
Mrs. Barger Wallach will at once
start building and improving this prop
eI-y, making it her country residence
and one Of the most beautiful in a
locality noted for its great number Of
splendid country estates, among them
the residences Of Mrs. William +. Van
derbilt. ir., Bronson Winthrop and
Louis J. Francke. With Mrs. Wellach s
prominence both as player and pro-
moter of lawn tennis, It is believed a
feature of her place will be some Of
the finest courts in the country.

FIFTY NEW HOUSES
Plans Filed for Apartments in
Long Island City.

As a result Of the opening of the
greensboro subway, assuring early
completion of the rapid transit devel-
opments to Queens County, the G. X.
Mathews Company has just filed plans
with the Buildings Department for
fifty six-family houses, to be erected
at jackson av. and Eighteenth av., Long
Island City.
The structures are to be a duplicate
of the type of buildings erected by
the same company in the Ridgewood
section, where over five hundred Of
them were put up in the last few years.
All Of these have now been sold. and
the company now transfers its field Of
operations to Long Island City. Each
house will have street frontage Of
271-2 feet, with two apartments on
each floor. Suites Of five rooms and
bath, with all Improvements, will be
rented at from SIS to SIC a month. The
houses are expected to be ready for oc-
cupancy by October l.

TO JOIN SUBWAY
WITHIN ONE YEAR
Will Connect Greensboro
Line with Grand Cen
trail Station.
By Queens Chamber of Commerce.

The efforts of the Chamber of Com
merce of the Borough of Queens to OBJ
tain the immediate extension of the
Greensboro subway to the Grand Cen
trail Station have met with success, for
the Board of Estimate, at its meeting
on Thursday, passed a resolution appro-
priating $4,000 for the special work
required. The entire cost of the special
work to make this connection will be
$75.O 900, toward which the City of New
York, the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company, and large real estate deyel-
opers of Queens will each give $4,000.
Several months ago the Queens Cham
Der of Commerce had engineering plans
prepared showing how this connection
could be made at q nominal sum. II
held several conferences with Chairman
Mccall of the Public Service Commits
sion and President McAneny, chairman
Of the Transit Committee Of the Board
Of Estimate, who agreed to cooperate
in obtaining the immediate construction
o this extension.
Although the greensboro subway has
been in operation less than two weeks,
great indignation has been expressed
by passengers at being compelled to
come TO the surface near Third Avenue
and walk almost fifth Of a mile to
reach the nearest entrance to the sub
way to continue their ride. The con-
nection, which will now be built and be
ready within years time, will do
away with this inconvenience and con-
fusion. and permit passengers coming
from Queens Borough to continue on
the subway trains to a point under the
main entrance of Grand Central Sta
ton. Here they will take elevators TO
the level of the present subway and by
q short walk through a temporary pas
sageway will reach the present plat
forms Of the subway station at that

BRONX GROWTH
TO Be STEADY
Natural Line of Industrial
Development for New
York, SAYS T. N. Jarvis.

high Valley Railroad
The Bronx is the natural line Of de-
velopment for New York, the place
where the manufacturers must go for
their sites. It's growth in the future
will be both steady and worth while.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad was one
Of the first of the trunk lines to realize
the industrial development which was
certain to come TO The Bronx. A num-
Der OF years ago the management pur-
chased a plot of ground on the Harlem
River at the foot of l49th st. and
erected a terminal. The good judg-
ment that brought the Lehigh Valley
to The Bronx has been well justified
Our freight station there is busy
centre all day long every day in the
wear But, more important still, the
DEVELOPMENT of business in the bor-
ough has made necessary the erection
Of more terminals. A warehouse for
the storage of hay has been the latest
demand, and this building has just
been completed.
To move the arriving cars from the
float 10 the 1lclGhL station anu 70 Naho
the newly laden ones from station TO
float a switch engine is maintained in
the yards adjoining the station. As
an Indication of the importance of the
Harlem River to the Lehigh Valley all
our recently built harbor tugs have
been constructed with smokestacks
easily lowered. so that they experience
no delay at the frequent bridges. a
special force of solicitors is main
tanned by the railroad in the borough,
constantly calling on the trade in
search of business.
This business has developed upon
many interesting lines. Hay, -four.
pianos, magnetos, almost every sort OF
commodity is manufactured in The
Bronx or demanded there for consump-
ton, and the business Of this railroad
has been most satisfactory.
New-York tribune., 1915-07-04

l.. & W. Railroad owns a majority Of
the stock of this company, but the in
terests Of all the lines are conserved
alike.
The terminal was established at
l35th ST., Park av and Mott Haven
Canal in order 10 take care Of what
appeared TO be an assured growth in
population and business to the worth
Of Manhattan. The expected growth
came and the existing terminals have
been able TO care for this development

remarked with an aspect Of gloom but
with much less the appearance of dis
trust:

spoke. she saw that for all the cor
rectness of his manner and the bow
of respectful courtesy with which he
instantly withdrew, that deep would
be his anger and unquestionable the
results to her if she failed to satisfy
him at this meeting of the value of
her point in reawakening justice and
changing public opinion.

A Terrible Weapon.

A new weapon has been provided
for the United States army which ia
far more efficient than any heretofore
adopted. 1t was invented and is used
by the French military authorities.
and already nearly a hundred have
been purchased by the United States.
The new gun, which was described
in the Popular Mechanics Magazine
weighs but 35 pounds and cal easily
be carried by soldier. Two men are
required to operate it, both of whom
lie fiat on the ground, presenting a
small mark to the enemy. One man
feeds the cartridges into the breech
of the gun in clips of rs each, while
the other aims the weapon and directs
the firing mechanism. The sun will
fire separate shots or will operate au.
tomatically, in which case 3Ot shots
may be fired per minute. At long
range a third soldier ascertains the
range by the use Of binoculars and re-
ports the effect Of the bullets.

r RHINE is for those who may in
II dulge in luxuries and buy other
furs for real utility. Not that the roy
al fur is not durable enough, but be-
cause its creamy whiteness makes it
impractical for the workaday world.
1t is a fur for occasional wear and,
since it will last for long time,
should be selected in shapes of muffs
and neckpieces that are always in
style. The rather large fiat ruff and
the plain straight scarf are never
passe, and therefore the safest choice
in the richest furs.
Narrow boas of ermine and small
neckpieces are really more chic than
any other finish to the pretty midwin-
ter promenade or visiting toilette,
Muffs, whether made to wear with
large or small scarfs and neckpieces,
are usually rather large. But ermine
Is one of those splendid things that
look best when sparingly used. Like
diamonds that are too large, and
rich lace recklessly used, as If it were
of little account, something is lost of
the best effects when ermine Is made

The judge was looking at her; he

had stuck in her throat, and she found
herself standing as immovably quiet
as he.
"Why there?" he asked.
"Because"-her words came slowly.

fearfully, felt her way with him-"be.

He smiled. 1t was his first smile
in years and naturally was a little
constrained-and, to her eyes at least,
almost more terrifying than his frown.
"Why have you waited till now?"
he called out, forgetful that they were
not alone in the house, forgetful, ap.
parently, of everything but his sur
prise and repulsion. why not have
made use of this point before it was

of the judicial mind-"Why now. when

child is so ready to believe trust
fully that what he sees in others is
good, we should be all the more keenly
alert to let him see in us only the
best. A specialist in children's books
said recently before the Booksellers
school, in New York: "All the money
we may make out of distributing un
worthy books could not take away the
shame We should feel if it came back
to us that we had in any way assisted
in the mean work of lowering a child s

right, is about as disastrous a way of
propagating our own failures as could

Boring Thin Glass.

Everybody who has tried under
stands how difficult it is to bore a
hole in strip of thin glass. The fol-
lowing method is said to be very sue.
cessful: Press a cake of wet clay
upon the glass and then make a hole
through the clay of the desired size,
laying bare the glass at the bottom
of the hole Then pour melted lead
into the hole. and it will drop through
the glass, making rough aperture.
The explanation is that the sudden
application of heat cracks the glass
in a circle corresponding in size with
the hole in the clay.-New York Trib-
