Seventh avenues marvellous develop
ment during the past few years can be
ascribed to combMation Of factors,
chief among which, of course, was the
building of the new West Side subway.
which did for this West Side thorough
fare what the construction OF the OLD
subway did for Fourth avenue. Next In
Importance came the Save New York
movement, which brought to Seventh
avenue the leaders in the exodus OF gar
ment manufacturers from the Fifth ave.

and hotel districts that border the Great
White Way.
But neither the new subway nor the
Save New York movement unatded could
have accomplished so quickly the trans
formation OF = rof of secondhand
clothes shops and buildings of cheap
nondescript character into pleasing
thoroughfare. already literally studded
with glistening skyscrapers. The aid
came from group OF brokers special
izing in properties in the district. who
for the first time in the history of New
York real estate successfully combined
their activities under a cooperative ar
rangement based on service rather than
on profits.
The story of the Save New York
movement which led to the formation OF
the cooperative brokerage group Is now
ancient history, but for some reason
little was ever revealed regarding the
workings of this novel syndicate. 1t Is
also matter of news that this syndi-
cate is still functioning and that it In
tends to carry on indefinitely its CO.
operative efforts in behalf OF the new
Seventh avenue. 1t is composed Of four
brokerage firms-Heil & Stern, Fred
erick Fox & Co., Spear & Co. and ZoltaD
Friedman.
The syndicate was formed In July,
1919. and worked in conjunction with
the Save New York Committee. It as

of Seventh avenue. between Thirty

practically been completed and they are
expected to be ready for occupancy
within few weeks.
The next large operation to be In
trusted to the syndicate was the renting
of the new twenty story building cover
ing the entire block front on the east
erly side of Seventh avenue between
Twenty eighth and Twenty-ninth streets
owned by the corporation headed by Al
bert Herskowitz. The structure. de-
signed by Schwartz & Gross. contained
floor areas approximating 10000 square
feet. and a feature of the construction
was an interior driveway extending from

sold 2,046 lots in exactly sixteen
hours. On this basis he disposed of
an average of 1913 lots an hour, or

in Leipsig, Germany. He wrote to a
local real estate man recently asking
him if he or any other New York op-
orator would be interested in large es-
tate located in Saxony. Germany. which
is being offered for sale at a bargain
price.
The property, he writes, consists OF a
substantial residence of ten rooms and
bath on a plot of nearly 1000 square
feet. beautifully handicapped To the per-
son who is willing to gamble on the
doubtful value of deed to German real
estate In these troublous times. this 1ne
property will be sold for s2,75o.
The writer asked a real estate man
Of German birth what an estate Of the
character above described would have
been worth before the war. more than
Ave times that sum-" he replied, "and
rest assured In those days no broker
would have offered German real estate
TO a foreigner. The old country certainly
has gone to the dogs"

MAN CONF FESSES

STABS VICTIM TO DEATH
Partner Aids in Murder-Was
Double Crossed, He Says
Gets No Money

Buffalo. June 1S.--Salyatore Gala,
arrested yesterday at Eden near here
confessed, according to District At
torney Guy b. Moore, that he was
one Of the two men who killed Dan
ie Kaber Lakewood, Ohio, publisher
in the summer of 1913
Mr.. Moore refused to make public
Calais alleged confession, but he
gave out a summary of the facts in it,
This was as follows
Gala said that the Subiect of the
murder Of Kaber was first brought
up by Armenia Calayito, a midwife,
She told him that Mrs Kaber wanted
to get rid of her husband. The mid
wife told Gala that she had tried to
Kill Kaber by administering poison
to him on several occasions and had
failed. Mrs. kaber would pay $4,000
to him if he would kill KabGr, the
midwife told him.
GAIA and Pisseli met Mrs Naber
several days after this They went
to the kaber home and Mrs Kaber
showed them the room in which VA.
Der would be asleep. She told him
that she would let them know whom
they were to Kill her husband and
also agreed to pay them $4,000
Several days later Gala was noti-
fed to come to the Kaber home
When he and Pisselli arrived they
found the front door open. They
heard the sound of womens voices
but they walked into the house and
into the room where Kaber was
asleep.
Gala said that the man was arous
ed but he held him while the other
man cut him up with a knife. Kabel
may have tired to shout but his
month was muffled by CALAIS hand
They left him dead in bed before they
left the room
Gala did not receive the money and
he thinks the Calavito woman double
crossed him.
