WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
FRAUD FRUSTRATED
PhotoengraUer Blocks Plan to

A plot to counterfeit the 1890 war

The three arrested were Nicholas Mer-

photoengraving trade. living at 231S
Hughes avenue, The Bronx John Ma
raia, 2S, and Alfred Pistone "a, printers,
both living at 2410 Bathgate avenue,

The three were arraigned before United

According to the information obtained
by the Federal authorities Marala and
Pistone approached Mercanu with a

MUNICIPAL RAILWAY
FOR STATEN ISLAND
Pennsylvania Road Expected
to Build Line Through Tun-
mel Under Sound.

The construction of the great munich
pal piers now in progress on Staten
Island has set on foot at least two
plans for new trunk line railway con-
nections and trans island railway lines.
it became known yesterday.
One of these is a municipal railroad
traversing the island and connecting
the new pier terminals with the southern
and western trunk lines in New Jersey
by means OF tunnel under Staten Island
Sound. That scheme is being fostered
by the Staten Island Chamber of Com
merce, with the support of n number OF
lessees of municipal piers.
The other scheme is q. plan of the
Pennsylvania Railroad to build line OF
It's own into Staten Island through a
tunnel under the sound. according to
the statement Of Calvin y. Van Name,
President of the Borough of Richmond,
at the latest meeting OF the Chamber of
Commerce in connection with the rail-
road question.
Neither of these plans has progressed
10 the point OF actual decision 20 build,
Il was stated. but all agree that some
such arrangement will be absolutely
necessary before the city's new piers can
be utilized
The Staten Island Chamber of Com
merce has held two meetings recently
for the purpose Of trying to work out
plan for the construction of the pro-
posed municipal lines and further meet
ings are to be held in the near future
II Is understood that the Pennsylva-
ria Railroad has revived or modified
scheme OF some years ago to enter
Staten Island, and now has completed
surveys looking to such a step. The re-
newed interest of the Pennsylvania is
attributed Immediately 10 the construc-
ton of the vast system Of piers by the
city with the enormous bulk OF freight
traffic which these shipping terminals
will develop.
The situation In Staten Island is that
the Baltimore and Ohio is the only road
now entering the island. and that COM
pany has but single track over the
Sound. with two tracks running along
the north shore. That line handles both
passengers and freight and already IS
burdened 10 its capacity
The Chamber OF Commerce, while rec
ognlzing the necessity Of more rail ia
cilities, is anxious il possible that no
one railroad be enabled to control the
tracks into Staten Island and serving
the new piers. For that reason the
chamber members and pier lessees are
particularly interested In the construc-
ton of municipal railroad which would
connect with and serve all trunk lines
on the New Jersey side.

dren's feet, remarked a woman visitor
after inspecting the leather bargains.
one mother told me that she used to
pay S5.25 a pair for her boys shoes. -
said Mrs. Goodman, land as he played In
the street all the time a pair lasted three
weeks. Then they had to be resoled. She
bought pair of our shoes at sass and
said they lasted five weeks.
All the mothers tell us the shoes will
stand three half soles and heels. We
exchange cherfully and try to supervise
the sales TO see that mothers get shoes
large enough for their girls and boys"
Mrs. Goodman, who is a member of
the Cooperative Shoe Committee Of Hud-
son Guild. says they hope TO make the
store permanent and to sell shares. Any
one may buy. either on Friday or Sat
urday nights, when the shop is open, or
by special appointment. This week
shoes have dropped 10. Is and 20 cents
pair, and cooperative prices will show
proportionate decline.
The saving TO purchasers is from rs to
so per cent. Mrs Goodman estimates.
The 10 per cent. charge above wholesale
price is to cover the cost of wrapping
paper, twine and other expenditures.
The shoe closet, which serves as a store
house. and the lights are free. The
shoe clerks and entire staff volunteer
their services. The experiment is a sue
cess. according TO its sponsor. and will
be greatly expanded in the spring to
meet increased demands. f,
