Sales of real estate during the last
year in practically all parts of New
York, but especially in Manhattan and
Brooklyn, have been, perhaps, more
numerous, more widely distributed and
in greater amount than at any time in
the memory of the last generation,
The determining policy of the large
investment and operating companies
has been most intricate, because Of
new conditions in the real estate world.
The primary causes have been the in
creased expense of maintaining and
operating buildings and the increased
cost of new construction. These items
have mounted day by day until now the
cost undoubtedly is double that of the
lowest period and rs per cent higher
than the average established during
the last ten years.
The increased cost of construction,
added to increased rates of interest
and the higher costs of operation. has
made it necessary for tenants to pay
more rent, or for the owners of prop
erty to be satisfied with an absurdly
small net income or no income at ali.
This is the condition confronting real
estate owners after the lapse of a long
period Of years during which the ten
ants of dwelling property, especially.
grew accustomed to being domiciied
partly at the expense of the landlords.
Rents Not High Enough
With regard to tenements, flats and
apartments, the average cost of main
tenance and repairs has nearly doubled.
Meantime rents have not yet increased
IN an amount sufficient to allow return
on the investment commensurate with
It's value and for the proper amortiza-
ton of the mortgage loan or of the
cost of new buildings.
The demand for private dwellings,
OF which class of property the Realty
Associates had an ample supply, has
enabled US to liqudate our holdings
at substantial profits. However, as
q result of our experience during the
last ten years, we believe that our
operations hereafter should be more
concentrated, and that the large diver
slhed ownership which has been our
practice is not conducive to the best
net results.
An important phase of the situation
is the labor problem. Unless those
employed in the building trades, and
those WHO are engaged In the construc-
ton Of new housing for New York
City shall become more efficient, shall
make concessions in their wages and,

FOR POINTING GUN

Virgil Thomas, negro farm hand
of Barrels Ferry, was given a fine
of $50 and cost, by jury in Judge
Cooks court Friday. Lorenzo Ben
nett was the complaining witness. The
charge was pointing gun The evil
dence developed the fact that while
engaged in the settling of some tri-
fling business transaction a dispute
arose, during which Thomas drew
gun and threatened to kill Bennett.
Bennett being unarmed walked away
and Thomas followed him, again
making threats of violence. A war
rant was sworn out charging Thomas
with flourishing a gun, on the public
highway, trial upon which charge
has not been had.

SCRAPS TELL STORY
OF FAMILY HISTORY

While enjoying recently very
agreeable visit with the family of
Mr.. Nat Lindley of Matanzas, we
were shown an interesting collection
of family keepsakes that date back
for more than a century. Among
these was a glass canteen carried by
an ancestor of Mrs. Lindley while a
soldier in the Revolutionary war. The
covering was a cane lace and the
finest piece of work. of the kind we
had ever seen. Still in use, and in
a fine state of preservation, a safe
was shown us that had been in the
family for more than a century. 1t
is triangular in form and made to fit
into the corner of the kitchen. This
style of safe or cupboard was in COM
mon use half century ago, but few
of them have been seen by the young
er generation. A log house, the tim
bers for which were hewn by Mr..
Lindley's father, still stands in the
yard, and which is preserved out of
respect for the hands that shaped it
more than half century ago, is
sort of cold curiosity shop for hous-
ing the family relics, much of which
is rubbish, but is preserved for sem
timental reasons. A novelty pecu-
liar to a dead and gone age was
'camphor bottle" used by Mrs. Lind
ley's grandmother. To a twentieth
century generation a "camphor bot
tie" has little meaning, but a genera
tiontion ago every aged lady felt her
handbag equipment lacking without
the camphor bottle, which was sort
of first aid to headache, fainting and
other trifling ills. An old trunk be-
longing to Mr.. Lindley's grandfather
had larIs-anopened for fifty years I'M
til few years ago member of the
family from Maryland came into the
collecting data for a his
tory of the Lindley family, when the
old trunk was opened and many in
teresting papers and documents
found. We were shown a number of
these old land grants, tax receipts
and slave transfers which we found
interesting.

SENATE RESOLUTION
OF VITAL IMPORTANCE
Separation of Treaty And
League Of Nations
Demanded.

Washington, June 10-The treaty
fight broke out anew in the Senate
to-day along lines which promised
speedily to head up the issues involv-
ed over the League of Nations.
Immediately at tn opening of the
session. Senator Knox, of Pennsyl-
vania, Republican, and former Sec
rotary of State, presented a resolu-
tion of far-reaching proposals.
1t proposes to have the Senate give
official notice to President Wilson
and the American Peace Mission at
Paris that ratification of the treaty
is opposed in it's present form which
has the League covenant interviewer
with the terms of settlement.
1t proposes that the peace treaty
shall be so drawn that the question
of a League of Nations shall be re-
served for consideration by the peo-
pie of any nation without effecting
Germany's obligations in the actual
settlement OF peace terms.
New Policy Proposed.
1t proposes to haYe the Senate de-
clare it the policy of the United States
Government that should the peace
and freedom of Europe again be
threatened by any power or combi-
nation of powers the United States
will regard such a situation as a men
ace to itself and would pledge. the
United States, if necessary, to go to
"the defense of civilization" again.
The resolution was ordered by SEN
ator Knox after a conference with
Chairman Lodge of the committee
and there were evidences that it
would have the backing of most of
those who have conducted the fight
against the league.
The Knox resolution was referred
without debate to the Foreign Re-
lations Committee and the storm for
the day appeared to have passed over.

The warrant grew out of the arrest
by the Marshal Of Irwin Shields, in
which it is alleged the officer assault
ed Shields with black jack Embry
claims to have executed bond as re-
quired by statu. Another warrant
also was issued for Embry charging
him with assault. In turn Embry
swore out a warrant against Avery
Stewart charging him with obstruct-
ing an officer in the discharge of his
duty. The cases will be heard in
county court to-day.

RED Literature
In LOUISVILLE P. 0.
Cards Bearing Bolshevist
Sentiment Found On
Desk.

Radical Socialistic propaganda has
been scattered throughout the city
by followers of Liebknecht and Rosa
Luxembourg, the Spartacan leaders.
Cards bearing Bolshevistic senti-
ments were discovered in piles on the
writing desks of the post-office to-
day by Waterman John Woerner, who
seized them and reported the matter
to Custodian Pres Ray Mr. Ray took
the matter up with the United States
District Attorney.
What Cards Say.
"Christ died to give us Spiritual
Liberty" reads an inscription on one
side of the small cards, about by
inches in size.
"Our forefathers bled to Civ ues
Political Liberty"
"Liebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg
died to give us Industrial Liberty"
What do You say?"
OF To The Grave.
On the reverse side is poem call
ed "The Proletarina's Lullaby, which
is as follows:
"Rock-a-bye baby on the tree top,
When you grow up you will work in
a shop,
When you get married your wife will
work, too,
So that the plutes may have nothing
to do.
"Rock-a-bye baby on the tree top,
When you grow old your wages will
stop,
When you have spent the little you
save,
Then rock-a-bye baby, off to the
grave"
Not Believed Criminal.
While nothing criminal is believed
to be contained in the literature it
self, it undoubtedly is being spread
by the Reds" called Bolsheviki in
Russia and in Germany.
DR.. Karl Lieblnecht and Red
Rosa" Luxembourg, referred to on the
card, were the radical leaders in Ger
many who were seized and executed
by Berlin mobs when they attempted
to overthrow the bourgeois repub-
lean Government under Ebert which
had been set up in Berlin.
Liebkneeht was shot by soldiers
and RED Rosa" Polish Jewess by
birth, was beaten to death and her
body thrown in a canal, where it only
recently was discovered.
The Reds" are known as the
"proletarian party" the world over
and are fond of giving themselves
this title. "Plutes" referred to in the
are the plutocrats.
Federal authorities have given or
ders that any such literature found
be seized and Custodian Ray ordered
the Waterman to keep a lookout for
the distributors of the propaganda.
A strict investigation was ordered
by the District Attorney.
