The Poetry and Ideality
of a Building

Is not observed at all by many persons who see in
structure only four walls and roof. Homes are not
made by bricks nor stores by stones.
Some people never see the ideal of things.
A little hut on the hillside, without an organ or
any stained glass windows but with few
neighbors with hymns in their hearts, may be a
cathedral of worship.
Some people never the sun in dewdrop.
Little ideas, little dreams, little prejudces,
sometimes called patriotisms only little bags of
self-conceit
This vast structure, the dream of a country boy,
great in dimensions and strength, is much more
than a mart of trade. 1t is the whole thing
anticipated 1t expresses the fulness of idea that
] is being developed, and it's household and house.
keepers spend happy days in it doing something
more than "a days work"

Coney Island to Haze
Big Apartment Houses
Nearly One Hundred of Them
Planned, Says Tenement
House Commissioner

Coney Island is about to become one
of the finest residential districts of
Brooklyn, Frank Mann, Tenement
House Commissioner, predicted yester-
day. Nearly 100 modern apartment
houses are planned, he said, some cost
ing as high as 100000.
The famous resort Is being purged
of the so-called "two-family" houses,
which in years past have been used to
house twenty families of many chill
dren each, Mr.. Mann said Through
the cooperation of the Bureau of
Buildings, permits have been denied
for the erection of these houses, which
the commissioner characterized as
grave menaces to health, decency and
morality"
Hundreds of these buildings" he
said, "have been erected by unscru-
apparently, was to evade the law The
buildings invariably are two stories
and basement or three stories in
height, and generally five or six rooms
deep, with the rooms on each floor
opening into hallway. There is a
kitchen on each floor used by the ten
ants on that floor.
Even in winter months these build
ings have been found to oc occupied by
as many as seven families, instead of
two"
Mr.. Mann said that campaign Of
prosecution of violators of the tene-
ment house law in the Coney Island
district first turned the builders to
the construction of modern apartment
houses

Corporal Pete
Saues Gray Hoss
With Needle s'Like You
Se1U Buttons on Pnnts.'
He Does Surgical Stunt

1t was a stocky, cheerfully con-
scientious little gray horse, and was
picking it's steps carefully yesterday,
as it descended the slippery pavement
Of the Hopkins Avenue hill in Brook
lyn, holding back against a topheavy
load of empty bottles. 1t was no use.
The load was too great, and the little
gray was thrust, impotently rearing
back, right through the show window
of Jacob Chused's drug store, at 1850
East New York Avenue and fell
heavily, kicking with all four legs
among the patent medicines and
scented soaps.
A patrolman entered and surveyed
the wreckage and the frantic horse,
in whose chest a great rent had been
torn by glass splinter. The drug
store proprietor was wringing his
hands as new crashes and stronger
odors Of perfumes told of the damage
the horse was doing with each effort to
free itself. The patrolmen could do
little more A tentative hand on the
horses bride led to a new and terrify-
ing DaroXysm Of fear. Efforts to find
a veterinary surgeon were fruitless.

to death anyhow"
"Shoot who 2" demanded Mortified.
but rnelodious African voice "Shoot
dat po' little hoss daid? Not vile
Pete Walkers 'round!"
Momentarily interest shifted to the
speaker, an undersized negro who still
wore the uniform and insignia Of
Company G, 369th Infantry. Colonel
William Hayward's "Hell Fighters"
He wore also a corporals stripes and
his voice had ring of authority as
he cried to a still smaller and blacker
satellite: "Hey, fella, 60 git me needle
an th'ead till l gifts this yeh hoss
mended up"
Corporal Pete inspected obviously a
case of surgical needles and silk prof
fered by the drug store proprietor
"This yeh t'eads all right" he said,
testing it with his teeth, "but does YOU
call them crooked little jabbers
needles? Man, wen I says needle l
wants a needle like wat you sews
pants buttons on wild"
When this emissary had returned
with "pants button" needle Corporal
Pete's Establishments and soothing
words had reduced the PROSTATE
horse to a state of resignation and
alteration. With the horses neck
across his knees, and needless of the
red stains that soaked through his uni
form, Corporal Pete squatted cross
legged in the window and threaded his
needle, grooming comforting words
meantime into twtching gray ear.
Fourteen stitches he took in the gan
ing chest. while the onlookers held
their breath lest a sudden movement of
the animal crush him. But the horse
did not stir.
"Now OF boy" said the negro, extri-
eating himself after deftly tieing the
last stitch, 1--WE gwine take our foot in
our ham an light out O. disyeh mans
font window" And he coaxed the
horse to its trembling legs, led it care-
fully out Of the wreckage, out of The
store and to the Brownsville no1;ce
station.
The driver has not been seen IN
these parts since. The wagons owner
is Louis Sisenberg, of 127 Avenue D.
Corporal Pete lives at 73 Osborn
Street, Brooklyn

The intention is to obtain data on the
plans Of the builders.
No Aid From Pelham Bay
Mayor Hylan yesterday forwarded to
Chairman Hirsch a letter from Rear
Admiral Glennon, commandant of the
Third Naval District, informing the
Mayor that that part of Pelham Bay
Park used by the navy cannot be made
available at present for civilian occu-
pancy.
Evictions in this city are growing
in number. City Marshal Henry n.
Lazarus, of 14s East 121st Street, went
to 622 to 636 East 136th Street yester-
day with twenty eviction warrants.
The effects Of two families, those Of
Jacob s. Kito and Jacob Goldberg, had
been removed to the curbing when the
storm broke. The marshal discontin-
ued his work, while a moving van
carted off. the dispossessed goods to a
storage warehouse.
In Brownsville an eviction does not
mean that the family ceases to live at
the address from which it was legally
dispossessed. At 548 Powell Street
four families were put out on Friday.
Their goods were put in storage and
they took up residence with other fam
lilies in the same house. Eighteen in
dividuals are being housed in that
way. Mrs. Rosie Cohn, her husband,
aged mother and baby are living in

Louis Feinstein, who has four children.

Woman Names Services
In Suing for $4,000

Miss Beatrice de Acosta, who is
suing John M. Richie, president of
the National Democratic Club, an in
surance broker, for $4,000 for alleged
breach Of contract, filed in the Supreme
Court yesterday the bill of particu
lars demanded by Mr.. Richie. 1t
reads:
From November, 1914, to February
1915, I conducted Investigations and
performed certain confidential services
in connection with one Olga Treskoff,
with whom Mr.. Riehle's son, Theodore,
became involved in certain difficulties.
l was instrumental and successful
in relieving Mr.. Richie and his son
from liability, humiliation and dis
grace"
Subsequently, says Miss de Acosta,
in connection with one Alma Cameron
she performed services of the same
nature. The plaintiff says she acted
as manager for Mr.. Riehles real estate,
and that for the confidential services
she performed he promised to pay her
$13 week for life.

B. r. T. Lets Contract for

Link Which Will Bring Five
Cent Fare to Coney Island
Nav Be Done This Year

The contract for building the con-
meeting link on the Culver line between
Sheepshead Bay Road and Coney
Island was awarded yesterday. This
strip will be completed before the
end of the year, it is believed, and
then the five-cent fare to Coney Island
will be a reality.
Lewis Nixon, Public Service Commits
sioner, who authorized the B. R. T. to
award the contract, said that none
of the suggestions offered for COM
pelling the B. R. T. to adopt five
cent fare before this strip is finished
was practical, and if enforced, would
be tantamount to an abrogation of
contract.
