La Guardia Backs Plan for
Airport Belo,u Battery Park
Ne,U York Project Would Cost $780,.
100000 and Prouide Landing Field
by Extending Manhattan Island.

The city admittedly is at loss
efficiently to utilize its $4,000, 900 mu-
nicipal airport, Floyd Bennett Field
miles away at the foot of Flatbush
avenue, Brooklyn, unless it can use
Governors Island or some other land
ing area near the heart Of the city
as an express" airport for the sole
purpose of picking up and discharg-
ing mail, passengers and express.
1t is the contention of Mayor La
Guaroia and f1iers familiar with the
situation that such a combination
would be almost ideal, although they
admit that the available area on
Governors Island should obvlate the
erection of hangers or an admins
tration building there. Their concept
of the Governors Island-Floyd Ben
nett Field combination would give
the latter a role similar to that played
by the railroad yards and roundhouse
besides being an ideal air terminal
to serve Brooklyn's population of sew
eral million people.
One of the suggested developments
in connection with the conversion of
Governors Island into an airport is
the extension of the present express
highway down the west side of Man
haitian through vehicular tunnel to
Brooklyn. Plans for this tunnel route
is directly under the contested island
and the mayor has suggested that
this could be tapped to serve the air.
port and give Governors Island a
direct vehicular connection with Man.
haitian, thus eliminating the neces-
sity if either a fill between its north
ernmost tip and the Battery or a
speedboat service between the project
ed harbor airport and the city.
An alternate plan. proposed inter-
mittently for years and in possibly
its most concrete form last December
bv the New York Community Coun-
ellis. calls for the creation of brand
new made" island on the Red Hook
flats, off Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. a mile
or more away from the nearest shore
of Governors Island. This scheme
is linked with the construction OF a
proposed subway from Staten Island
to Brooklyn or New York and has
the advantage of non-conf1ict with
the Army's persistent occupancy OF
its Summer home" in New York Bay

TWO MILLION POUNDS OF BEEF
To FEED NAVY ON VISIT in EAST

Aside from groceries. 100000 feet
of pine lumber has been purchased
for building necessary supply houses
at the depot.
Six supply ships. plying steadily be-
tween the base and the fleet, will keep
the vessels larders well filled during
their stay on the Eastern seaboard.
The first shipload of food is due to
leave here June IS aboard the Arctic,
which will contact the Battle Fleet
in maneuvers off Newport. r. I.
The same vessel will load again in
July for the same destination and
meanwhile the supply ship Bridge will
take on a cargo destined for the
Scouting Fleet of Provincetown, Mass.
Food Cruises" Planned.
A little later the Bridge will load
a second time and sail to the COM
bined Battle and Scouting Fleets of
Newport.
And in September the Arctic and
the Bridge will load for cruise to
Southern waters, where the entire fleet
will assemble before returning to the
Pacific.
Capt. Emmett c. Gudger, supply
depot officer, said $1,000, 900 will be
spent for material other than food
during the fleets soJourn in the At
lantic. He did not estimate food
costs.

1,OOO.Mile Highway
Program to Begin
in Pennsylvania
special Dispatch to The Star.


HARRISBURG, Pa, May 12.-
Gov. Clifford Pinchot has an
nounced that within a short time
the State Highway Department
Of Pennsylvania would begin the
building of upward of 1000 miles
of cheap-type rural roads. The
program will cost 100000.
The Governor said that the
plan is to engage a maximum of
day labor and a minimum of
machinery. The proposed pro-
gram, now nearing completion
in the department. is intended
to take up the slack caused by
the abolition of the c. w, A.
projects not provided for under
the local works division.
During the present administra-
ton 10000 miles of rural roads
and 2,200 miles Of more durable
highways have been built, 1919
more miles, the Governor said,
than had been built by any other
State in a similar period. The
new roads will cost between
$500 and $4,000 a mile.

WASHINGfON'S LAND
OBJECT OF SEARCH
Kentuckians Find Grant Signed
by Patrick Henry as Vir.
ginia Governor.

BOWLING GREEN, KY, May 12-
The location of Kentucky land once
owned by George Washington is the
object of historical research now under
way.
One thing regarded as a clue is an
old land grant signed by Patrick
Henry. as Governor of Virginia, 143
years ago. After much searching, the
historians found it in possession of
Rodney Covington, employe of a
grocery store here.
Written on sheepskin, the ancient
document consigned the land to Alex
ander Skinner on behalf of the
assigner, Robert Beale.
Some believe Beale, in turn, OBJ
tanned the land from Gen. Washington.
thereby necessitating the signature of
the Governor in Washington's home
commonwealth when the subsequent
transfer was made to Skinner.
Records further back than that have
not been found. But the historians
are hopeful of finding an original
grant from Washington to Beale.

VIRGINIA GARDENS
AID POE SHRINE
Richmond Citizens Raise
Funds for Maintenance
of Poets Home.

RICHMOND, Va, May II P).-Six
of Richmonds finest private gardens
were thrown open to the public re-
Gently to raise funds for maintenance
of the little stone house in the whole
sale district which Edgar Allan Poe
once called hCme.
Some of his best known poems were
written while he lived there In abJect
poverty. At the same time he was
editor of the Southern Literary Mes
senger-a gem in the realm OF letters
but a white elephant IN so far as
money was concerned.
During Peo'S life the little house
stood in a residential section. But
factories and warehouses took charge
of the district many years ago, and
now the shrine is wedged between
big buildings.
Historic Landmark.
Possibly it would have gone the way
of all other Anticipated structures in
the neighborhood, but historians
marked it and civic leaders warded
off the wreckers' hammers.
Then they built museum just be-
side the little house, in which many
relics of Poe are on display. The
collection includes numerous letters,
poems. essays and critical articles, all
written in his fine. legible script; rare
editions of his books. portraits and
his shabby little haircloth trunk.
Not far away is the humble little
boarding house, once frequented by
theatrical folk. Poe's mother, an
actress, died there and left her two
babies wholly in the hands Of
strangers.
Boarding House Stays.
That. too. has become a shrine.
Those who preserved the poets home
saw to it the boarding house remained
just as it was when death made Poe
a homeless, friendless orphan.
The garden benefit was resorted to
as a means of relieving the financial
strain on the board of directors of the
Poe shrine Within recent years the
board has reported difficulty in meet
ing the necessary financial obligations
for its maintenance.

bert Levitt. insurgent Republican, who
is now an Assistant Attorney Gen.

another new party in the Connecticut
election this Fall.
In 1882 Mr.. Levitt, working with

Republican party, which had as one
of its detectives the defeat of Hiram
Bingham's candidacy for the Senate.
The Independent Republican candi-

than the margin by which Bing-

The new party will be known as
the Independent Citizens, 1t was de-
cided at an organization meeting here,

ton of electric light rates and milk
prices, higher for the farmer and
lower for the consumer, its major
issues.

N YEW YORK, May 12.-Local
N airmen are far from hailing
VI with unanimous approval the
4 plan to make Governors
Island a part Of Manhattan
by a gigantic fill extending from the
Battery to the outmoded little mill
tary reservation in the upper bay.
thereby creating an airport in the
very shadow of New YorkS downtown
skyscrapers. These same shadows are
the tip-off to their lack of enthuSi-
asm. Though some of them have been
clamoring for years to have Cover
nors Island turned into a landing
field. they feel that any extensions
to the tiny bit of land should be down
the bay instead of toward the city
in order that planes attempting to
alight would not be required to play
tag with the city's famous skyline.
Another feature of the project that
they hold against it is the estimated
ultimate cost, which ranges from
100000, 900 to $150000,000. This is
chiefly due to the fact that the chan
mel between Governors Island and
Battery Park is from 30 to 40 feet
deep whereas, the shoal land of
Brooklyn's waterfront at the other
tip of the contested islet lies less
than 10 feet below the surface, and
extending Governors Island or even
creating an entirely new artificial
island south of it would be relatively
simple and inexpensive. However, the
present War Department appropria-
ton bill includes $4,000 for a survey
of the first project.
Both these latter projects have been
urged by various groups for years
and Mayor Fiorella H. La Guardia,
both before and since his election.
has committed himself in favor of
taking Governors Island away from
the Army and turning it to the prac-
tical uses of aviation" for the benefit
of the city. In this connection 1t Is
pointed out that business men could
land within sight of their Wall Street
offices and reach them by speedboat
and taxi within 10 to Is minutes after
their planes arrival. if there were
an airport at this location.

GAIN IN TOURISTS.
Cheaper Dollar and Adver-
Using Send Thousands to
Western State.

SAN FRANCISCO. May u (P.-
A westward migration of tourists
from East and Midwest has put broad
smiles upon the faces of innkeepers
and transportation companies and
gives promise of setting an all-time
high this year in the number OF Wis
iturS to California.
20 Gate the total is % per cent
sr~cer than last year. If it grows
only slightly it will exceed the H.
100000 mark, established in 1881, the
biggest tourist year since records were
kept.
Steamship companies have brought
more than 100 per cent more passen-
gers to the States shores through the
Panama Canal the first three months
of the year than in the comparable
period of 1888: Railway lines have
carried appreciably more than last
year and. in the first three months,
138. 043 have come by automobile,
compared to approximately 105,0 900 a
year ago.
Cheaper Dollar Helps.
A travel and statistical organiza-
ton attributes the pronounced in
crease in part to devaluation of the
currency and disturbed political con-
ditions abroad and in part to the lib
eral use of printers ink.
While cutting the gold content of
the dollar has failed to attract any
noticeable increase Of foreign visitors
to the State, it has helped turn the
tourist movement of the Atlantic Sea-
board from Europe to the West. OF
1873 out-of-State automobile parties
checked here one day, 20 were from
New York. Excluding the bordering
States New York, Pennsylvania, Hi
nois and New Jersey led in the order
named.
California and Arizona desert Win
ter resorts completed their season
with accommodations taxed to ca
pacity. The Summertime resorts are
filling, and expectations are held for
a big year.
Although the tourist business did
not slump SO much as the general
run of business, 1892 and 1888 saw
a falling off which, while small as
to percentage. was large in the loss
of tourist revenues.
