TINY BROADWAY STRIP
RENTS SI33 SO. FOOT

Firewater.

New York, May Manhattan Is
land, once sold by an Indian for S24
and a few drinks Of firewater, has be-
come so valuable that tiny plot stretch
ing only 81 feet along Broadway re.
Gently was leased for an annual rental
of Sl33 a square foot. Real estate men
said this was the highest figure for
which land was ever rented here.
The site is at Broadway and Thirty
fourth street, and extends about 0O
feet along the latter. Several years
ago a department store wished TO buy
the corner plot, having procured III
land on both sides as the site of sky
scraper. But the owner would not
sell, even for 81 100000, and the big
store had to erect its home around the
small building.
A four-story structure, housing on
the ground floor a busy cigar store
still remains on the valuable corner
lot. on all sides lofty buildings rear
their bulks of steel and stone. The
lessee, who will pay S3,5o0.0co fol
rent. taxes and other expenses over
twenty one year period, plans TO erect
a narrow skyscraper on the triangular
plot. A candy making corporation
will occupy the building.
Twenty years ago Robert s. Smith
who owns the property, started realty
men by paying sSs7,OOO for the land
| which has only | $50 square feet o
area. He had come TO America witt
S5.75 from his native Russia in 1850
When he bought the property, he wa
told such a small strip was not WORT
the price and could never be protit
able
Within a few hours after the 50,
100000 lease was drawn up, anothe
candy concern offered $4,000 more
wear for the land. but it was too late

In every other city of any

printed and other people
read them in the same intens-
i've way. In the great
stretches of rural communi-
ties the newspapers from the

North America is literally
bound together and welded
into a continent with COM
mon knowledge and COM
mon impulses-by its 3d.

Newspaper readers have
come to look on the daily adj
vertising as part of the news.
They turn to their news

a series of markets-each

Each good market can be
reached by newspaper adj

For this reason the news
paper has become the great

TAKES RAP AT THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL.

Madison.-William ]. Morgan, attor-
ney-general, is scored by Governor J. j.
Blaine today for what the governor
says is his failure to carry to hasty
conclusion two important law suits
commenced by the state. In letter
directing Attorney General Morgan to
commence proceedings against the Mid
West Cement Credit and Statistical
Bureau and other cement companies for
alleged violation of the state antitrust
laws, Governor Blaine says that at is
far better to take one action and carry
it through to successful conclusion
than to start many actions and not
bring them to trial"
''If any good is to come out of litiga-
ton started by the state, the trial
should be had in the shortest time pos
sible," the governor declares. "To per-
nit this kind of action, or similar ac-
tions affecting trusts and monopolies,
to hang fire without bringing them to
trial, is nothing more than an invita-
ton that trusts and monopolies may
continue"
Governor Blaine then points out the
action commenced against the Tomah
Cash Mercantile Co., which, he says
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1921-11-17

was started May Srd and has not yet
been tried, and to the expressed inten-
tion of the attorney-generall to open
proceedings against the state of hi
-nois for diverting the waters of Lake
Michigan and reducing the level, te
the injury Of people in Wisconsin.
"In fact, you considered this last
matter so important" Governor Blaine
says, "as to ask the legislature to d.
rect you to start suit to protect the
rights of the people of this state. The
assembly promptly responded, and yet
I understand that up to date no action
has been begun. The last Legislature
appropriated to you for the biennium
$4,000 more than was appropriated fO1
the attorney-general's department pre-
vious biennium and gave you additional
authority and power to suppress trusts
and monopolies so that you have beer
provided not only with the power but
the funds with which to act promptly.
Governor Blaine tells Attorney-Gen-
eral Morgan that Success in one actor
will do more than the commencement
of scores of law suits which are never
tried" and advises him that it would be
we'll to conclude the actions already
! begun before opening further prosecu.

Ten Millions for
Highway Work

For the next two years, beginning
January 1, there will be $10,500,00
available for state and federal aid road
construction. in Wisconsin without
passage of any new legislation or the
collection of any additional tax not
already provided for, Governor Blaine
says today in letter to the Kenosha
County Board of Supervisors. It is
the belief of the governor that the
1923 legislature can take care of
any new needs in highway construc-
ton that might arise.
In addition to the $10,5G0,000 which
is available from the state alone,
there will be the counties contribu-
ton and the federal aid from the ma
tional government, which will amount
to nearly two million dollars annual
ly," the governor says. "Unexpended
highway moneys heretofore collected
for highway purposes on January l.
with the uncompleted contracts, are
estimated by the highway commission
to be 100000 or over.
"In addition to the amounts stated
there will be available such sums as
counties raise, either by taxation or
bond issues, on their own initiative.
/'The amount expended this year ex-
ceeds what is normally spent on high
ways. I feel that each county board
ought to be advised with respect to
the Estate finances concerning road
building. I..:.
"The relations between the counties
and the state are so close that we ought
to have the greatest cooperation, and
that cooperation can best be obtained
when we all know the facts"

BETTY CAMPBELL
| DEFENDS ARBUCKLE
Missing Witness Found in Chicago
Says She Heard Nothing of Vir-

fgv Associated Press Leased Wire. }

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Chicago-Miss Betty Campbell, long
sought as an important witness in the
Fatty Arbuckle case, was found today
in her home.
Miss Campbell, twenty year old
was a member of the party at which
Virginia Rape met her death. She
denied she had attempted to hide from
the San Francisco authorities.
~ do not believe that Virginia Rape
was killed y Fatty or that he had
anything to do with her DEATH" the
girl said Here's why:
ri Joined the party at 4:00 o'clock
that afternoon. Virginia, according to
the prosecution now, was supposed to
have been fatally injured by Fatty
two or three hours earlier. She
was at that time, lying in an adjoin-
ing room.
81 remained at the party until after
$500 o'clock that evening.
"Now, we drank, danced and played

had been there with Virginia-there

mont, Zeh Provost, Lowell Sherman
and two others besides myself.
"My point is this: It doesn't seem
possible, if Arbuckle had committed
that terrible crime with which he il
now charged that the party would have
continued thus, and that the same PEG.
pie who now are testifying against him
should have remained in it."
