POES QUARTERS HERE.
A Compiler of His Poems Doubts Tha
He Lived In Ann Street.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir. i
have read the several letters in THE
SUN entitled Poe in Ann Street
That Poe ever lived at Ann street is
greatly in doubt The odd and unex-
pected often turns up in Poe's affairs,
but his residential record In New York
city is apparently clear enough to indi-
cate no such turn of affairs as suggested
by Mr.. Werner's letter.
AS to the conversations of the late
Judge Shea about his father, J. A. Shea,
and the publication of THE Raven" :
The lapse in the time and lack of in
formation as to the occupation of his
father evidently caused confusion in the
mind of Judge Shea. His statements
seem quite erroneous. Poe was a con-
tributor to the American Whto Review
and there is no evidence to indicate that
the elder Shea had anything to do with
the publication OF Poe's poem in that
publication. All the evidence, on the con-
trary, goes to show that the elder Shea.
who had n connection with the New
York Tribune, evidently asked Poe for
a copy of 1.-THE Raven" This was given
10 him and appeared in the Tribune on
February 4, 1s45, after 1t had been
printed in the American Whi0 Revie,o
and the Mirror.
Poe may have visited the cellar of
SANDY walsh but 1t is unlikely that
he ever wrote 1.-THE Raven" or anything
else there. J. II. WITTY.

TAXES BUT NO VOTES.
One Cause OF Unrest Among Negroes
in the South.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir:
read In your paper a few days ago a
statement by Representative Byrnes OF
South Carolina to the effect that
Russian Soviet interests were at work
among the colored people OF the South.
! live in Atlanta, Ga 1 am in close
touch with the thoughts and activities
of colored people not only in my State
but throughout the South. and can say
of truth that Mr.. Byrnes's fears are
not well founded. Colored Americans
have proved that they are not radicals
or traitors, but patriots.
That there Is an unrest among the
colored people everywhere no one can
doubt. but not to the extent OF any
revolutionary sentiment; but Is 1t not
true that Mr.. Byrnes, who brings these
charges, is representing in Congress a
district in South Carolina in which the
colored taxpayers have no voice or
vote?
Here lies one of the main causes of the
unrest of all colored Americans in the
South. and there will be no real pacihca-
ton of these people until this wrong is
righted by our State and national gov
ernments. H. r. BUTLER, M. d.

ERIE SELF-sAcRIFIcE.
Is IL Injury to Help the Tnbe at the
Expense Of the Ferryi

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: 1
have travelled the Erie ferry as long as
forty years and have committed about
half that time. and have noticed a few
things the while. The old station and
ferry house at Jersey City are to-day
practically as they have always been,
but with very much more traffic to be
handled.
To begin with, the Wells Fargo Elk
press dock is menace and a nuisance
on account of the many wagons passing
right through the other traffic between
the trains and boats. Now perhaps it
may be the one desire of the Erie man
ayers to protect the traveller from the
hazardous trip to and from the boats
that makes them resort to every trick
conceivable to get one and all into the
Hudson tube. The time tables are now
SO arranged that the train boat Is =
thing of the past the time allowed be-
tween New York and Jersey City or
Jersey City and New York via the ferry
In two or three times as long as Is actu-
ally necessary for the boats to mako
the trip, and nearly every incoming
train Ia scheduled to arrive SO as not
of from i've to ten minutes. The ferry
service from New York to Jersey City
evenings is better Just now than some
time ago. for at one time the pilots
seemed to sail all over the river in order
to XIII time and II was necessary to
take the next earlier boat in order to
be sure Of any certain train.
As I say. In forty years have learned
how a boat can cross the Hudson In a
given time and with entire safety How
ever, deliberately to delay the boat did
not seem to be bad enough, but the
gateman at the train shed made 1t a
point, on signal from the dispatcher. to
slam the gate in the face of any and
all passengers IL delayed by the ferry
boat. There is no more holding the
train for the ferry, since the tube is
to be favored.
This would be all right II we could
all use the tube to advantage. How
over. many people are located in New
York between Cortlandt street and Chris
topher street. 1 should prefer to pay
the five or seven cents additional and
go by the ferry provided the boat con-
nected with the train as of old. We
might understand this trying to force
every one to take the tube II the tube
were not overcrowded already. but de-
liberately to do everything possible to
compel the public 80 use the tube, in
Guiding many young people who can i'll
afford this extra fare, is, to say the
least, unfair. F.WV .D.
