from compilations by the building
department of the Borough of Man
haitian, during the ten-year period,
1918 to 1923, total of $500 build
ings of all types were completed,
against a total of 5,736 Of all types
demolished. These figures include
2S5 one and two family dwellings
erected, against 2,242 demolished,
and 926 tenements and apartments
erected, against 1,25S demolished.
While the. figures call attention
to the rapid disappearance Of one
and two family houses in Manhat-
tan, these old residences seldom are
replaced, with tenements or apart
naents. They usually are. removed
to make room for commercial struc-
lures. + ia.
During the decade, 332 more tene-

destroyed than were erected. This
decrease, is offset by the fact that

MICHIGAN HOLDUP MEN
SHOOT SIX AND KILL ONE
Bandits Rob 800 Guests of a Detroit
Road House-Slay Policeman
in Flight.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 20.--A seven
man band of killers held up the Allen
dale inn, West Warren avenue, at 8 10
O'Clock Sunday morning, shot two
women and four men, one the vice
president of the G. r. Wilson Body
company, robbed nearly all of the $50
of the road house guests and concluded
their murderous debauch five hours
later in Monroe, Mich, by killing
motorcycle policeman who tried to
question them.
The dead policeman in Oscar Rein
hardt, thirty-year-old World war vet
eran, who died in the Monroe hos
pital without regafning consciousness.
When the gunner fed with loot val
ued at $4,000 after a farewell vol
ley to slow up pursuit, they left a
dance floor strewn with disheveled
women and men, many of whom had
fallen to the floor and pulled tables
down on top of them as rampant
against the flying bullets.
Three women tainted, one losing
consciousness, when one of the des-
peradoes grasped one of her fingers
and tried to bite off a diamond ring.
A dozen men were looking ruefully at
torn shirt fronts from where jewel
studs had been jerked.
''Just give me a second and I'll undo
the clasp for you," offered one guest.
Haven't got a spare second"
snapped the man over him, STOPPING
over and with his teeth ripping the
jewelry loose.

lowed by Mrs. Coolidge and George B.
Christian, Jr., secretary to the late
President. Without glancing back and
with only one glance TO the side at
three newspaper men, she walked
with firm step to the automobile,
which all three entered. Then without
a word the automobile moved out into
