GAVE NAME TO NEW ENGLAND
Result Of Capt. Smiths Exploration
Of Shores Of ~North Virginia" in
the Year 1914.

Capt. John Smith. famous for his
romantic career, particularly the Po-
cahontas episode, is generally asso-
ciated with Virginia, but he was also
the first to discover the beauties OF
the southwestern half of the Maine
coast and the first to draw map OF
1t, an exchange recalls. In 1914 he ex-
plored the shores of what was then
known as North Virginia, but which
he called New England, name that
has stuck, as have many others given
by him.
In "A Description of New England"
printed In London In 1916, Smith
wrote II have seen at least forty sew
erall habitations on the Sea Coast and
found about 25 excellent good har-
bors. and more than 200 isles.
From Penobscot to Sagadahock this
Coast is all Mountainous and Isles OF
huge Rocks, but overgrown with all
sorts of good woodes for building
houses, boats, barks or shlppes: with
an incredible abundance of most sorts
of fish, much fowle and sundry sorts
of good frultes for mans use
The Salvages compare their store In
the Sea to the haires of their heads;
and surely there are an incredible
abundance upon this Coast.
The most Northern part l was at was
the Bay Of Penobscot, which is East
and West, North and South, more than
ten leagues"
The northeastern half Of the Maine
coast was put on the map by Cham
plain. Ten years before Smiths voy-
age he had visited Nova Scotia, dis
covered and named the st. John river,
and crulsed as far south as the mouth
of the Penobscot, which he, too, en-
tered.

would take two years to amend it. No
relief can come from any modification
of the tenement house law, and I am
personally opposed to any such modi-
fcation."
The menace that the housing problem
of the city holds over its future pros
perity was discussed by Abram l. Elkus
chairman of the reconstruction COM
mittee.
"Next winter" he predicted, "the
scarcity of houses in New York City
will be so great and rents will be so
high, unless houses are built this sea
son, that labor will be turned away
from this city, and New York's busi-
ness, industry and prestige will suffer
New York next winter is likely to
experience an increased turnover of
labor, just as did the munition and
shipbuilding towns q year ago. But,
more than that, no one can tell to what
extent the growing discomfort among
tenants may lead to riots or worse.
"There is but one solution to the
present emergency. 1t is to build more
houses, and build them at once"

IL Families Are Evicted
From Brownsville Homes

The Brownsville section of Brook
lyn again occupied the centre of inter-
est in the housing crisis yesterday
when announcement was made that q
mass demonstration would be held in
City Hall Park on Monday and a gen
eral strike of 10000 tenants was dis
cussed. Thousands focked menacingly
to the scenes of twelve evictions made
by Marshal Goldberg.
Officials Of the Brownsville Tenants
League have perfected arrangements
for a visit to Mayor Hylan. 1t is
planned to have a delegation confer
with him while members of the league
throng City Hall Park.
The first evictions were made at 240
Powell Street. Shortly after noon
Marshal Goldberg, his "schleppers"
and three policemen moved on the
premises. Hundreds, scenting excite
ment, hurried to the scene. While the
three policement held back the crowds
Samuel Garsh, his wife and three chill
dren watched their household effects
being deposited on the sidewalk
Charles Witkowitz and his wife wept
as their furniture was brought out.
The owner Of the premises is Mrs
Anna Weissman, whose husband is q

charged with investigating the hous-
ing situation sought to get some
pertinent information on New York

Q.-Have you made any tabulation
showing the number of new build
ings erected year by year and

years prior to the war down to date :?
Al haven't any. personally. l

tee has some information. ut didn't
have.)

Mayor Hylan, testifying yesterday at

asked for legislation to break up an
alleged monopoly of "title companies
and the people that control or prac-
tically control the money market in
regard to making loans to persons de-
string to build their homes"
Senator Charles S. Lockwood, chair
man of the committee, pressed the
Mayor for specific information on the
reported monopoly. The Mayor, after
a moments thought while he breathed
on and polished his glasses, replied
slowly:
"Well, everybody knows that to 8
great extent the title companies and
certain other interests control the
money market, but I don't know that
could submit any particular evidence.

Asked if he had thought out plan
for meeting this situation by legisla-

providing for salary advances +

teachers.
Federal home loans, on the principle
of farm loans, were favorably dis
cussed, both by the Mayor and the
committeeman. The former favored
the state making the loans, but was
unable to say definitely whether new
statutes or ordinances would have to
be enacted.
The Mayor also admitted that he
had no definite plan of operation in
mind and asked Mr.. Hirsch if he had
formulated any.
Mr.. Hirsch Has Plan
Mr.. Hirsch declared that he was
ready to advance a plan whereby the
state would issue bonds and lend
money under carefully guarded re-
strictions. Mr.. Hirsch said that be-
tween ten and fifteen thousand new
apartments are needed to relieve the
situation.
The Mayor said he had thought of
putting up large apartments on the
S13 100000 courthouse site, if the law
permits him.
"What efforts have you made"
Senator Lockwood asked, "to get the
title companies and insurance com
panies and men who lend money in
terested in any campaign to ac-
celerate buildings and to make loans
at an adequate and reasonable rate
Of interest?'
"Well, have referred all those mat
ters to the Mayors Committee" Mr..
Hylan answered. "At the present time
it has taken a great deal Of my time
to endeavor to settle the harbor
strike here.'
The Mayor went into great detail on
this subject.
