.LEMCKE NOT OUT
BY Transformation
Delinquent Taxpayers Make
Up That Amount and
More, Too.

County Treasurer Ralph Lemcke will
not lose a single cent by contributing
81. 800 TO the campaign fund of Thomas
Howe, the defeated News-Jewett candi--
date for the Republican nomination for
mayor at the last primary, because Mr..
Lemcke more than made it up on delin-
quent taxpayers.
The city delinquent taxes. which was
collected for the first half of the year,
amounted to s11S3sO SIS and the delin-
quent collections outside of the city were
s15.O7092. making the grand total S123,-
461.7S
Under the law the treasurer is entitled
to per cent of the delinquent taxes.
excluding the delinquent fees and the
like. On basis of a reasona BILE deduc-
ton of $4,000 for delinquent fees Mr..
Lemcke viii have about S9s.46t7S upon
which he is entitled to per cent.
On that basis, County Treasurer
Lemcke is scheduled to receive at the
June settlement about S5907.7O. which
represents more than twice the amount
he so generously contributed to the Howe
campaign fund.
The delinquent totals have been an
nounced by Orville Harris, chief deputy
in the county treasurers Office.
A total of $3.50 627.45 was collected
by the treasurer for the first half Of the
year. and this figure includes all pay
ments. This is an increase Of S2,751,-
1858 over the first half of last year
The first installment last year totaled So
479,33172, and that shows the result of
the present taxing method saddled on the
county by the Republican administra-

NAB NINE IN
GAMBLING RAID
Musty Building Has Lavish
Layout for Games of
Chance.

Eleven o'clock was the zero" hour
last night but Lieut. William L. Cox and
sergt. Edward Helm had no idea Of what
they would find when they charged into
the innocent appearing old frame build
ing at Twenty Eighth street and the
Monon railroad tracks. They found one
Of the most complete gambling lay-outs
seized by the local department.
Three tables built with specially con
structed large round padded tops, mum
erous chairs, rugs and large electric
Gan were part Of the furnishings. The
police made a grab for the money and
so did the men who had been playing
cards. The police say they captured
about one-tenth Of the money that was
in sight on the table. which was S69.70.
The two officers captured nine alleged
gamblers. but others left by the way of
the windows and so quickly they forgot
their coats. The police have a large
basket Of extra coats captured in the
raid and would be pleased If the owners
would call at police headquarters and
identity their property.
The game in progress around each Of
the three large topped tables was poker,
according to the police. The tables,
chairs and the big fans were brought to
police headquarters.
Those arrested gave their names as
Mark Farrell, SO, 29O7 Cornell avenue,
who is charged with keeping a gambling
house and gaming; and the following
eight men charged with gaming and Wis
iting a gambling house: John Connolly,
81. sos East Twenty Fourth street Harry
Wilson, 3S, Rushville; Harry Jones, A,
233 North State street; William Ellis, SO,
1925 Virginia avenue; Fred Wilson. 81,
franklin James Baker, 46, Colonial
Hotel; Harry Franklin, 81, Rural Route
4, Connersville, and Jack Lesry, Sc, La
fayette, Ind.
All were released on bonds either
signed by professional bondsmen or on
cash bonds. The man who gave his name
as Baker is a cripple, and it was neces-
sary to carry him upstairs 10 the turn
keys office, but the kind hearted bonds
men carried him downstairs after sign
ing the bond.
This gambling place has been in op-
Grafton for more than two months anu
the gambling fraternity has been re
garding it as a safe place in which to
congregate since before the primary cleo
ton.
A number OF complaints concerning it
have been made to members OF the po-
lice department by residents OF the
neighborhood, and one written complaint
was sent TO the police department In
April The raid last night was the first
ottention that is known to have been
paid TO the place.

that tho builder is for the moment freed

1900 ASTORIA LOTS
WILL BE OFFERED
Holdings Of Park Estate Along
Subway Extension to Be
Sold on May z.

Those who have followed tho marvel
lous development OF Astoria In tho few
years since the Astoria branch of the
dual rapid transit system was placed
in operation can readily understand the
interest that IS being shown by both
professional and private investors in tho
impending sale of 1900 lots owned by
the estate of william G. Park and
others. Tho sale of this property. which
IS situated in the Astoria scction. will
begin on Saturday, May 7, and viii be
conducted by Joseph p. Day in a large

between Sixth and Seventh avenues, m
Long Island City.
The Astoria branch OF the dual system
was completed in 1914 or 1915, but 1t
was not until 1917 that II was placed In
operation. The marvellous growth
which the surrounding section of Queens
has enjoyed since then Is evident from
comparison of the ticket sales at the
various stations along the route. In
February, 1917. the combined sales at
the Beebe avenue, Washington avenue,
Broadway, Grand avenue, Eoyt avenue
and Ditmars avenue stations amounted
to S0e.i1s. In January. 1920. they
amounted to e70.ooo.
The evident popularity OF this part
OF Queens and the sudden improvement
In building conditions were the factors
that swayed the executors OF the various
estates involved in their decision TO
throw the property on the auction mar
ket at this time. The lots are situated
only fifteen to twenty minutes from
Times Square at the Hoyt and Grand
avenue stations. in the immediate vicin-
ity OF Second avenue. Astoria avenue,
vandeventer avenue, Fourth, Fifth and
Sixth avenues; also on Thirteenth,
Fourteenth and Fifteenth avenues and

LANDLORD WINS RENT CASE.
May Charge Tenants for Legal Ex

In determining fair and reasonable

gross rental income not only a charge
for depreciation of his property. but also
legal expenses incurred in mainta lining
his rights to the property, according to
a recent decision handed down by JUS

Last December Municipal Court JUS

tenement house at $50 month. The
house cost the appellant Schwartz
$41,500 and the interest charges. taxes
and running expenses. including legal
services claimed by the landlord
amounted to s5,911. In addition the ap-
pellant claimed the right 20 charge off

LAST OF OLD JUMEL
HOLDINGS TO BE SOLD

On more than one occasion the real
estate auotioneers hammer has served
as an implement in tho making of HIS
tory In the chronology OF the past v has
frequently left its impress by splitting
up the property of some famous family.
But It will have to pound long and hard
before II breaks up an estate richer In
family tradition or historic allusion than
that OF Eliza Jumel Caryl. which Bryan
l.. Kennedy Is to sell at public auction
on Saturday. April 30.
The property to be sold comprises 13o
lots In Yonkers just above the Van Cort-
iandt Park, fronting on Caryl avenue.
near Broadway. and extending eastward
10 Mclean and Van Cortlandt avenues.
These lots are the last of the holdings
inherited bv the heirs OF Eliza Junel
Caryl, a direct descendant or Stephen
Jumel, a French merchant and ahip
owner Of fabulous wealth. whose fame.
however, was less due TO his riches than
to the fact that he was the husband OF
the brilliant and beautiful Eliza b.
Junel. or Nine. Jumel. as she is known
in history.
Stephen Jumel died in 1892, and short
ly after the name OF Aaron Burr
flashed into the Jumel family history.
Burr married Mime. Jumel. but was di-
vorced by her within a few years. In
1872 certain George Washington
Bowen created a sensation In New York
society by claiming an interest in Mime.
Jumers estate on the ground that he
was the son Of the famous beauty.
Bowen's claim was proved TO be frau
dulent. however. and Il was established
conclusively that Nine. Jumel had died
without progeny. Consequently tho
beautiful Colonial mansion on Wash
ton Heights and all the remainder OF the
holdings in this vicinity were inherited
intact by Stephen Jumers descendants.
The mansian had been purchased by
Stephen Jumei from Col Roger Morris.
During the Revolution II served at va
rious times az the headquarters of
George washington and the British gen
erals. Howe and Clinton.
In 1882 william Kcnnelly, father OF
Bryan l.. Kennedy, was commissioned TO
sell at auction the Jumel holdings on the
Heights. With the proceeds OF the first
part Of the property sold the family
moved northward and purchased the
property on the Yonkers line. where Il
wac planned TO establish the now Jumel
home. Much OF this land has been sold
during the last forty years On the
property the Putnam Division has placed
a station and named Il Caryl. In honor
