Reporters Playing Important Part in
' Fusion Administration of New York
Blood Giving Developing into a
Bnsiness Sub-Treasury in New
York Overflowing With Gold Man
hattan Gets a Taste of the Delights
of Punishment in the Hereafter.
BY LONGARE.
New York, Feb. 6. (Special) The
announcement by Fire Commissions
Bob Adamson, that fire prevention
work is the chief factor in a remark
able reduction in tenement house fires,
reminds me that newspaper men are
playing a mighty important part in
the success of the Mitchel administra
tion. Lyman Gago, when he was sec
retary of the treasury, often said that
if ho had any job requiring unusual
adaptability, diplomacy and political
or business fineness, he would get a
newspaper man to fill it. Mayor
Mitchel's cabinet seems to have taken
a leaf out of Gage's book of political
wisdom. Some fifteen years ago,
when Bob Adamson was political re
porter on the World, his brother Til
den both of them bright boys, from
Macon, Ga., was star man for the
(Brooklyn Eagle. George Terrell was
co-star. Bill Bullock, the Irishman
who made no little name for himself
as "Pat" of "Pat's Impressions" was
dramatic critic of the Press. Then
hero wns Eddie Hungerford, also on
A "2 in 1 Shoe Poliah" ! mnde for every use. For Blnck Shoe,
"2 in 1 Black" (paste) nnd "2 in 1 Black Combination" (paste and

LAND $6 AN ACRE Clarke County,
the Eagle, who used to occupy his
leisure hours in working out railroad
schedules for single track roads. That
boy could put enough trains over a
'single track to pay fabulous dividends
! on the stock of a four-track trunk line.
' Only Eddie did it on paper, while the
railrcad must do it on steel.
Longncre was a cub who basked in
the very occasional approval of these
greater lights.
Occasionally this group would gath
er in Tilden Adamson's rooms in old
Montague street, Brooklyn, and be
tween deals would exchange views on
matters of no importance whatsoever.
If you wish to listen to absolutely
useless and senseless conversation get
behind a door while a bunch of news
papermen are enjoying the usual jour
nalistic recreation. Right at this point
it should be recorded if I were to fol
low the usual custom of reminiscences
that even at this early stage of
their development, I saw in these
large municipal light'j faint glimmers
of their future brilliance. But, al
though I say it in sorrow, I didn't! It
was just an ordinary blase bunch of
newspaper men whose blaseness
largely thin veneer was terribly im
pressive to me, the inexperienced cub.
And now look at 'em! Bob Adam
son, fire commission! Tilden Adamson,
chief watch dog in the finance depart
ment! George Terrell chief of the
bureau of standards in the finance de
partment. Bill Bullock, Tammany
hall's municipal critic who holds up
to public scorn the foolish acts of his
newspaper friends of those grave old
days. Eddie Hungerford is writing
pieces about railroads for the maga
zines. The cub of the party is still
scribbling.

Owner needs cash and forced to
those places. The list is too long to
give here. I must record, however,
that the National City bank apparent
ly finds the training of the newspa
per office a pretty good basis for suc
cessful banking. Frank A .Vander
lip, its president, was a Wall street
reporter before he began to make a
living. And be it recorded here also
that most of the reporters who have
risen to high places got their start in
country newspaper offices. Yes, it i.'
also true that most of them who fail
also got their start with country
newspaper. I got my start in so
small and insignificant a country
newspaper office that I should be
cither a howling success or a most
dismal failure. I am not enough of
the latter to achieve a comfortable
berth in a charitable organization's
old men's home. No one can tell, how
ever, what degree of comfort the next
few years may bring forth.

It is difficult to say whether blood
eivine is an art or an industry, but if
the practice of transfusion increases'
long at the present rate there will be
a Bloodgivers' Union. That name is
not copyrighted, and it is not offered
with any pride on Ijongacre's part.
Word comes from Baltimore that
more than one hundred derelicts from
the Friendly Inn have undergone
blood tests at $1 apiece this winter at
the Union Flrotcstiant anfiTmary, a
branch of John Hopkins, for trans
fusion cases. Of the one hundred,
twenty-five have been accepted and
have been paid $25 for sub
mitting to transfusions. In addition
to the twenty-five dollars, those who
are accepted are being paid at the
rate of one dollar a day to keep them
selves in condition until they are
needed. The blood of these men from
the Friendly Inn, it is recorded, now
courses through the veins of a num
ber of prominent men and women of
Baltimore.
Anybody who has use for a little
extra gold may apply to the New
York assay office and the sub-treasury.
Both are crowded to overflow
with the precious yellow stuff. S
great is the pressure that the vaults
of the mint at Philadelphia are being
enlarged to hold the overflow from
New York. When the improvements
are made the Philadelphia vaults will
hold $1,000,000,000.
The sub-treasury here has been
compelled to pile bags of coin in the
underground corridors lctween the
rows of Btrong boxes. These corri
dors have been closed up and the in
terior of the huge vault, running the
entire length and breadth of the build
ing, is solidly pneked with gold. The
passages have been narrowed down
until there is scarcely room for two
persons abreast.

after the torments which they have in
flicted upon us in the here. Can any
one picture without a glow of pleasure
the delight he would have in forcing
a subway guard into a handbox with
a pitchfork? No less delightful would
be the experience of walking over the
bare feet of an end seat hog with hob
nailed boots. Think of the joy in
putting certain of our friends, both
male and female, into a room with
seven thousand talking machines go
ing at the same time. How pleasant
it would be to be at the other end of a
wire thut a telephone operator must
continuously use and respond to her
inquiries with that infernal "line's

ing a plate "of hot soup down a wait
er's neck!
