fed. Next the cells must be cleaned
out, the corridors cleaned and a report
filed 20 that effect. This involves con-
siderable work. All the while he must
continue his vigilance, because II is
while diversions exist that the criminal
puts his plans of escape into operation.
About 8 o'clock the call comes for the
men who are to go to court.
In the meantime various people arc
going back and forth. passing up and
down through the tier, requiring the
keeper TO open. close and lock the
gates for all OF them. The keeper
carries a revolver. While these things
are transpiring there Is nothing to
prevent one prisoner or all of those
released from their cells TO line up
for court from jumping on the keeper,
seizing his revolver, taking his keys
and making a getaway or as an alter
native causing a lot OF trouble.
Exercise Period Dangerous.
After the men have gone to court
the keepers next duty Is to give the
| remaining men exercise. The gates
are locked, the cells opened. and the
men let out on the tier. For one and
half hours they are kept walking
| around the tier. This operation is
| fraught with much danger. During it
| the keeper must exercise great vigil
lance. II the prisoners undertook to
attack the keeper nothing could save
him. To keep the prisoners in a mood
where under such circumstances they
will not desire to attack Is, therefore,

keeper.
After the prisoners are exercised
it is about time for dinner. The men
must be fed again. In the meantime
/ and during the day there are constant
calls upon the keeper to produce men
for bail, for counsel and even for dis
charge upon the expiration OF their
sentences. In this work he must be
alert, since it would be a very simple
matter for a man charged with murder
| to substitute for a man about to
: leave the Tombs on bail or at the
| expiration of his term. The keeper
must see that the man called for
release Is the man he sends down to
! the desk. -
! The keepers work during the after

All the while he. must receive incom-
ing prisoners. making records of
prisoners, &c. He is never idle,
never able to relax. When it gets along
about o'clock in the afternoon
! the keeper is physically and mentally
exhausted from the strain. From 4
until o'clock, relief time, no
human being could be aught but
exhausted and in such a condition as
to become the easy victim of any
desperate effort made for a general
escape.
Endurance Taxed.
Men have escaped from the Tombs
under such circumstances and keepers
have been unjustly blamed Their en-
durance has been taxed beyond the
limit. This condition OF affairs in the
rombs is n public scandal highly dan
gerous and menacing and should be
known. No keeper should for reasons

Z THEN Vincent Gaffney escaped
~ from the Tombs on June II.

W HEN vincent Ianney escapeo
w from the Tombs on June II.
1919, the people of New York
were thrown into a Juror Of ex-
element. When I arrived there on
June IS found the Tombs still talking
about his daredevil enterprise. Gaff-
ney had gone to the topmost part Of
the building, a most unexpected place,
found q bar loose in the kitchen on the
top floor and by three great leaps of
forty feet each reached the street UNI
hurt, jumped into waiting automo-
bile and was whisked away. defying
the police to capture him for three
months.
Investigations were conducted by the
Commissioner of Correction, the war
den, the keepers and finally the Grand
Jury of New York county to fix the
responsibility.
The Grand Jury filed a presentment
on August 20. 1918. in which it said:
THE Grand Jury finds that the
number Of keepers employed in the
City Prison Is inadequate. At the
time Of the Gaffney escape there were
only twenty-three keepers ON duty and
the total number of keepers employed
there is only forty despite the fact
that ON the day of Gaffney's escape
there were over 600 prisoners in the
City Tombs prison.
The Grand Jury believes that the
difficulty Of obtaining the proper num-
Der OF keepers and type was largely
due to the fact that the compensation
paid by the city of New York to keep
ers is inadequate. The minimum sal
airy, 5000. The maximum, $1,000"
Nothing came of this report. Gaff-
ney was accidentally captured and l:
now in Sing Sing serving practically
life sentence.
The Gaffney case is only one instance
uppermost in the public mind. There
are periodical escapes from practically
every other prison under the jurisdic-
ton Of the Department of Correction
Of the city of New York. but the peo'
pie hear little of them.

News and Comment of Urban and Suburban Realty Market
United Cigar Co. Sets
A New Leasing Record
More Stores Acquired SO Far
This Year Than Ever Be-
fore in Same Period

Edward Wise, president Of the
United Cigar Stores Company, is most
optimistic as to the future business
outlook. No better proof of this con-
fidence, he says, can be shown than the
widespread activity in the real estate
field by his company.
Our leases SO far this year number
niHety-six," he said yesterday, (which
is record for US for the same given
time"
Commenting further on this activity
he said:
eve are in a looking forward mood
and are basing our opinion on the in
dustrial adjustment which now seems
sure Of accomplishment During the
war period little effort was put forth
to extend our real estate operations,
we limiting ourselves to exceptional
opportunities only, which had to be
acted on Immediately.
During the first three months Of
this year the sales in our stores have
established a definite policy of big ex-
pansion. In New York City we have
closed large number of new leases,
both in the city proper and in the out.
lying sections. In the larger cities
throughout the United States we have
leased large number of new proper
ties, and in addition have added quite
few new cities to the United chain.
I'VE anticipate during 1919 to exceed
any two years previous expansion"

Terminal Markets League to
Hold Mass Meeting To-
night and Appear Before
Board of Estimate May 9

To show the Board of Estimate that
a system of Wholesale food markets
should be established throughout great
er New York, mass meeting will be
held this evening in the public library,
at East 140th street and Alexander
avenue. The meeting will be under tho
auspices of the Terminal Markets
League, which is made up of Wholesale
and retail food associations, members
of various civic bodies and public off,
cials.
On May the Board of Estimate will
be asked to grant an appropriation for
setting up these markets. Those who
favor them say their establishment will
cause a general reduction of food
prices. The city, according to the plan,
or an organization to which the city
will lease the markets, will sell food
at wholesale to store owners.
John Reimers, president of tho
Wholesale Grocers' Association of New
York; Cyrus Miller, former Borough
President of The Bronx, and Mrs.
Louis Reid Welzmiller, commanding
officer of the Woman's Police Reserves
of The Bronx, will be among the speak
ers. Mrs. Welzmiller, who is also state
chairman of the Plenty Food League,
which has 100000 members and which
is cooperating in the movement TO OBJ
tain terminal markets for New York,
says the plan is "to eliminate tho
profiteering middleman, who is re-
sponsible for the present. high prices"
Among those who will appear before
the Board of Estimate to urge the pro-
posed system will be Commissioner OF
Markets Day, Assistant District Attor-
ney Dooling and Chief City Magistrate
McAdoo.
