IT is real pleasure to make lit

for spring. Manufacturers appear to
have discovered that good lines, above
all things, are imperative and, start

coats follow the reckoning of the mode
to paths of simplicity and gentilIty.
There are diverse styles7polo coats,
motor coats and coats that answer for
many purposes-but grace of line and
good judgment in development are re-
vealed In all of them.
The most interesting coats are those
designed to make the most of every
opportunity for service, the depend
able models that fit in almost any
where and are smart enough to give
their wearer the assurance of being
well dressed. They have an accent Of
economy that appeals to women of
good judgment and appear in several
types In the new displays. Black sat

distinguished and versatile affairs that
answer many. purposes. They vie with
snappy sports and motor coats In
their spirited styles, but cannot be

LAND BANK ASKS CITY
TO BUY 81, 900, 900 BONDS
Would Aid Housing, but Rate
Is Only S Per Cent.

The Land Bank of the State OF New
York asked the Sinking Fund Com
mission of this city yesterday to invest
s1.000,000 OF the city's sinking fund In
bonds OF the bank as n means OF pro-
viding persons OF moderate means with
loans for the construction of homes. A
rate OF per cent. was offered. which, It
was conceded. was small from busi-
ness point of view. but 1t was explained
a measure of relief OF housing was the
aim rather than commercial advantage.
The commission laid the request over
until the next meeting.
The Land Bank Is composed or forty
seven savings and loan associations
with aggregate resources OF $35 900. 900.
II was explained that the law spe-
cifically provides that municipalities
may lend money to the bank and that
Newburgh already has done so.
It was declared that savings banks
are doing very little to relieve the situa-
ton, which statement was disputed by
r. II. La Guardia, President OF the
Board of Aldermen, who said that at n
conference with bankers on Wednesday
he had been told the banks had no ap-
plcations for loans.
Mr.. La Guardia said he would ask
the bankers with whom he conferred
TO appear before the Committee on Gem
erai Welfare of the Board OF Aldermen
In opposition to the pending measure
for exemption OF new dwellings from
taxes for period of ten years. He
said the bankers believed the measure
would not stimulate building.

CUSTOMS DATA GIVEN
TO DISTRICT ATTORNEY
Grand Jury Expected to Go
AboUe Inspectors.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c.. Feb. 3.
The Treasury Department has turned
over to the Department of Justice and
the District Attorneys Office in New
York all evidence OF collusion, bribery
and other violations of the law In the
New York customs scandal. Marked
money and other evidence In a number
OF cases has been given to the District
Attorney in New York in cases that will
be presented to the Grand Jury for
action.
Treasury officials viii not disclose de-
tails until pending cases have been dis
posed of. It is known, however. that
conditions are much more serious than
.-dicated by an official statement issued
to-day by Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Mclean, following publication
Cf the story in The NEW YORK HERALD
.hil .-sorning. Mr.. Mclean would say
fothing until he had read THE New
YORK HERALD story. He then issued an
official statement In which he said
twenty-five or thirty customs men In
New York had accepted gratuit.es and
evidence was to be turned over to the
Department Of Justice. but that there Is
no thing unusual or sensational about
cuch malfeasanoe In the customs service.
Though 1t Is not shown In the state
ment, a number of much higher officials
than customs inspectors are involved.
These men are now under investiga ito n
and in some instances, at least. the evil
dence appears conclusive. These cases
viii be acted on by the Treasury Depart
ment and possibly by the Department of
Justice through the courts In New York.

PEDLER GOES TO JAIL
TO SAVE HORSES LIFE
Refuses Judges Request That
Afflicted Animal Be Shot.

John Ranavaro Of $50 East 149th
street. The Bronx. decided yesterday to
go to jail rather than permit Jerry, the
horse he has used for many years to
truck his wares from the market to his
fruit stand, to be shot for an ailmert
affecting one OF the forelegs. Ranavaro
WAS taken in custody by an agent OF
the S. p. c. A. and was arraigned In
Morrisania Court. where the agent said
It was inhuman to make horse like
Jerry, now 16 years old. travel around
with his leg In such condition.
A veterinarian said the best course
was to have 1t shot Ranavaro In tears
said he wouldn't let any one do that
and that he knew of an expert who
could cure the sores on Jerry's leg.
Magistrate Cobb adjourned court to
look at Jerry. and on his return said he
agreed with the veterinarian, and that
If Ranavaro would not grant permission
for killing the horse he would fine him
$40 or send him to Jail for three days.
"I'l go to JAIL" said Ranavaro. II
cannot pay the money. You cannot kill
my horse"
