station to be located on the site OF the
old car barns bounded by Thirty-second.
Thirty-third streets and Lexington and
Fourth avenues. aroused widespread in
terest in railroad circles and among the
vast army Of commuters.
IL was learned that informal confer
cnces have been held by officers and
engineers OF the Pennsylvania. Long
Island. New York Central and New
York. New Haven and Hartford rail-
roads. as we'll as between members OF
the state Transit Commission and their
engineers and the Westchester county
authorities
That the need OF relief VIII become
imperative before many years have
passed is illustrated by the fact tha,
more than so, 900. 900 persons yearly are
using the Long Island Railroad part of
the Pennsylvania Station alone
Coincident with the new terminal
project is the suggestion that the county
Of Westchester bond itself to finance a
new subway TO connect the proposed
suburban terminal with a focal point on
the Westchester county line at which
the principal trolley systems in that
section converge.

THE NEW YORK HERALD
AND HUGHES d DER
The Advertising of Shady
Houses ThroUn Out.

When Mr.. Munsey bought THE SUN in
1916 a number Of questionable financial
firms were advertising in the paper
lished to govern the admittance of any
advertising to the columns Of THE Sun
all financial advertisers about whose
character and standing there was
known to be the slightest doubt were
thrown out Of the paper Whether the
Hughes & Dier people we're among the
lot is not recalled. But II they had been
advertising In the columns Of THE SUN
prior to 1916 they were thrown out
The New York herald., 1922-05-27

along with the others who could not
meet the stringent tests applied to all
advertising after Mr.. Munsey's purchase
OF the paper.
Similarly, when Mr.. Munsey later
bought THE NEW YORK HERALD, all
doubtful financial advertising was ex-
cluded from its columns under the same
vigilant restrictions. Very likely the
Hughes & Dier people and later the
Dier people were among the lot then
thrown out of THE NEW YORK HERALD
along with the others of whom a clean
sweep was made.
In any event. subsequent to Mr.. Mum
sey's purchase of THE SUN the firm OF
Hughes & Dier were persistent appli-
cants for several years for admittance
to the papers advertising columns with
out satisfying the close censorship OF
the papers advertising columns that
they were desirable advertisers.
The same thing is true of the Hughes
& Dier and later the Dier people in
respect to THE NEW YORK HERALD up
ITO the latter part of 1920 In that year
the Dier people deceived THE NEW YORK
HERALD through reputable friends and
substantial banking references in that an
injustice had been done them in exclud-
ing them from the paper, and they were
readmitted to It's advertising columns
under sharp restrictions as to the kind
of advertising that would be accepted
from them. They had not been long
restored to the advertising >columns,
however. before tie true Dature Of their
business was definitely revealed and the
briefly resumed advertising relations
were severed finally.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that
THE SUN and THE NEW YORK HERALD,
which annually exclude hundreds OF
thousands of dollars Of doubtful adver-
tising from their columns, never had any
other relation, directly or indirectly.
than the foregoing with the Hughes &
Dier and later the DER outfit.

n TO more accommodations can
N be had in Sing Sing prison
for the guests of the State,
and to relieve the congestion 1t was
announced at the prison yesterday
that the State superintendent of
Prisons would soon order forty or
more convicts transferred to up
State prisons.
Seldom in late years has condi-
ton arisen in which cells are insult
ficient at Sing Sing. The present
congestion is due largely to the
recent activity of the New York
courts. For the last two weeks the
arrivals at the prison have aver
aged six a day. There are 1875
convicts there and sleeping quar-
ters for only 1.200.
