HIGH PRICES MAKES STORAGE
FEASIBLE PLAN.
Interesting News and Gossip
From
New York.
New York g?pt. 1. As the largest
consumer of foodstuffs In the coun
try, thlg city Is, genuinely concerned
over the prospect of another season
of high pplcea for all kinds of meat
products. At first there was a dis
position to decry the neciassity of any
decided advan.ee In retail prices and
attribute the threat of higher rates
to the operations of tho beef trust.
As the reports of a genuine scarcity
of high grade cattle and other me a-:
animals have continued to come to
the front from all parts of the coun
try, however, and have been reflected
in tn e actual advance of wholesale
prices ..the . public has. .become con
vinced that It must pay more for Its
daily roast or go without. As a ten
per cent advance in prices will add
nearly a quarts r of a million dollars
a day to Ne w York's meat bill, the
prospect that may amount to twice
ibis Sum is a serious one for most
citizens. One class that does not
.Thare thls apprehension s the cold
storage mibn. .' A quiet investigation
ol the storage houses shows 'that
they are carrying far more than their
ordinary Quantities of the ordinary
substitutes for meat foods.; Taking
pdvactare of the record-breaking sup
pl'ifg cf fish, pouKry and eggs that
have been pouring into the market
for the p?t two months they are ful
ly stocked with all thee products
and are. looking forward to a corres
pondingly rich harvest. It te. esti
mated that within the past I- re ts
more than ten , million dozen egg?
nans gone into atorage, while poultry
is being, received t he rate of IMoon
pounds dally and much of it is being
takien by the same interests. More
fish are said to be bteld in cold stor
age than ever before in the history
of the city. As a result of present
conditions it; is con.fldently ' predicted
by tin storage men that the country
will have to rely upon them in great
er, measure than ever before for its
food supplies during the coming win
ter.. Meanwhilis the . state officials
are planning to give vigorous enforce
ment to the new law limiting the
time that food products may be kept
in storage. " , . .
New York, Sept. , 1. Postmaster
General Hitchcock appears to be a
past master of .the art of making
things interesting, for those who are
compelled to do business with this
branch of the government. In addi
tion to having the publishing inter
ests of the country on the anxious
seat as a result of the threat o In
crease postal rates on magazines, an
order from his department from his
department has . now astonished and
dismayed the" officials of the railway
Unes having headquarters here. This
order requires tn.3 companies to pro
vide steel cars for the conveyance of
mail over their lines and names Jan.
1, 1912, as the datra when this new
equipment must be In readiness , for
service. While admitting the desir
ability; of using steel cars for the
convyan;e of mail matterj the rail
way men point out that It is a physi
cal impossibility for them to provide
between four and five thousand of
these cars wif.hln the next four or five
months even if every available car
builder in the country were put ,on
the Job immediately. They protest
also that in the present stats of the
railway business the lines cannot af
ford to Invest upwards of $40,000,000
in new equipment, especially in view
of the fact that the government pays
the roads nothing for the use of four
fifths of the mail cars, Including all
of those known as compartment can
In which par of . the space is devoted
to use as traveling post- office and
part to express or baggage. To deep
en the predicament of the railroads
the postmaster general Is revolving a
plan to still further reduce the pay
for their mail carrying services by a
cut of about $9,000,000 a year.
New York, Sept. 1. Although the
police department refuses to give out
any figures on the number ot rob
beries that have taken place here re-
cently the long list of notices of stol- C. T. U. had made for the memhera
n jewelry and silverware that are of the crew of that vessel. Thie trip
being sent out afford a good Indica-Jcost the government several thous and
tion' of the fact "that metropolitan dollars which Is perhaps as much as
burglars have had a very busy anml!th value of the 750 bags equipped
profitable summer. Especially large'
has been the number of lootings of
houses closed for the season and it is
probable that many more of these
will come to light when the wealthy
residents of the city return from tnelr
summer trips. In some quarters t.h
increase of theso robberies Is attri
buted to the adoption of the stationary
post plan for policemen. Under this
plan which was put In force early in
the summer the officers do not patrol
long teats but remain at one point
throughout their period of duty. Tit's
idea behind this system is that citi
zens will know where to find a police
officer when they need him. Equally
of course the crooks know wher to
avoid him and in the uptown districts
surrounding Fifth Avenue and River
side Drlv' where eighty per cent of
the houses, are closed up throughout
the midsummer months they can ran
sack an expensively, furnished resi
dence at their leUure with little fear
of detection. While the stationary
post plan possesses some advantages
the end of this month to determine
whether crime has increased or de
creased since its adoption.
New York, .Sept. 1. While the ad
journment of congress was welcomed
with relief in most quarters here, re
gret is felt at the failure of one bill
in which New Yorkers, for sentiment
al reasons, felt a particular Interest.
This was the measure providing a
site in the harbor for a heroic statue
typifying the American Indian. The
statue itself is to be provided by a
few prominent men and Is -expected
to divid.3 honors with the Statue of
Liberty as one of the famous land
marks of the nation's gateway. The
bill was passed by both nouses

congress and was rushed into the
eenate chamber to receive the slgna
ture of Vice President Sherman, ar
riving there just as the gavel started J
to fall closing the session. It theri-i
-rc missed becoming a law by a sln-
ble second, probably the narrowest !
margin on record. It is expected j
that the V.'.l w.ll be passed "soon after
congress r-.ei'-- n December and
