ALARM OVER WAVE OF CRIME
Plans for Unique and Remarkable
Club Has Just Comt to Attention
This Week It is the Interstate
Club Other New York Notes.
NEW YORK, Mar. 6. Now that
Manhattan Island has been joined to
the rest of the continent by the newly
opened tunnel to Hoboken, following
by a few weeks the establishment of
similar connections with Brooklyn,
the city seems to have gone tunnel
mad. Certainly there is more inter
est and enthusiasm over the subject
of underground and underwater travel
than has been displayed by the blase
metropolis for any event since the
opening of the first Brooklyn bridge
more than twenty-five years ago.
Both the new under-river passages
haev been crowded ever since they
were first opened and now there are
insistent demands from all other di
rections for the establishment of simi
lar facilities. The second McAdoo
tunnel which will unite Manhattan to
Jersey City is soon to be ready for
traffic and the bores of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad tubes under the North
and East river are practically icom
pleted, although their opening to
public use will be delayed by the slow
progress of the railroad's huge city
terminal Residents of Long Island,
especially the owners of real estate,
alarmed lest the new tunnels turn the
tide of suburban population toward
Jersey, are clamoring to have the city
buy the Steinway tunnel to Long Is
land which has been just built by
August Belmont and which he is re
ported to be willing to sell for $6,000,
000. The long-pending plan of an ad
ditional tunnel and subway route
underneath Brooklyn and the East
River has been passed upon favorably
by the Public Service Commission and
the idea of a future extension under
the Narrows to Staten Island has
been revived. This would complete
the connection of all five boroughs of
the Greater City by means of tip-to-date
transportation facilities. The
truth is that New Yorkers have just
awakened to the fact that the great
armp of residents, suburbanites and
strangers, amounting to more than a
million persons, which daily flows to
and from Manhattan, has been putting
up with slow and tedious methods' of
travel in and out of the city and they
are in a characteristic hurry to have
this state of affairs remedied as soon
as possible. The expenditures for
tunnels and terminals already com
pleted or under way will amount to
more than $250,000,000.
The periodical alarm over "the
wave of crime" has struck Xew York
again. This time however it is not
an epidemic of crimes of violence but
one of burglaries and thefts which
steadily increases despite Commis-,
siohcr Bingham and his Belgian
police dogs. The condition is attri
buted in part to the large number of
unemployed now in the city and the
resultant privation and want. A
startling feature is the large propor
tion of crimes committed by aliens.
This subject is to be taken up and
discussed by the Liberal Immigration
League at a meeting which it to be
held on March 10. As its name sug
gests the League is against the re
striction of immigration by sweeping
laws that will bar useful as well as
useless voyagers from the old world.
It is believed that better results
will be attained by deporting aliens
who commit crimes after their ar
rival here instead of supporting them
in jail or leaving them free to prey
on the community, as at present, and
it is advocating laws that will make
this possible. Its platform also calls
for the more rigid enforcement of the
present laws excluding .'criminals,
paupers and victems of contageous
diseases and the extension of the
period of residence before admission
to citizenship from five to 10 years.
A significant fact in connection with
the league and the measures it cham
pions is that many of its prominent
members are themselves of. foreign
birth. ,

patriotic. Although it is to have
social, athletic and recreation fea
tures equal to those of the most
prominent clubs devoted exclusively
to these subjects, its primary purpose
is to prevent the growth of sectional
ism and to secure a better under
standing of the needs of all portions
qf the country by bringing together
in attractive surroundings the
thoughtful and influential men of all
the states. The club is to occupy

As the greatest club city in the
country New York has been much
interested in a plan for a unique and
remarkable club that has just come
to its attention this week. This is
the Interstate Club which is to in
clude membership from all parts of
New York bankers, and brokers,
who have been keeping themselves
in good spirit lately by busily hoist
ing prosperity signals, have desisted
for the moment to take note1 of a new
and threatening cloud on the finan
cial horizon. This is the legislation
which has recently been proposed at
Washington in the form of several
bills aiming to abolish all buying, and
selling for future delivery on grain,
cotton and produce exchanges. The
ostensible purpose of these bills is
to put a stop to speculation and ficti
tious values. It is asserted however
by exporters here thai one of the
results would be to place the farmers
of the country at the mercy of the
big milling interests and to expose
the consumers to erratic fluctuations
in price by putting an end to the pre
sent system of marketing the coun
try's crops. They point out that
much the same experiment was tried
in Germany not long ago and raised

a storm of protect. One objection
which appeals especially to financial
interests is the injury which an un
stable price for grain and cotton
would work to both producers and
banks. Therefore the financial and
commercial interests are for once in
accord with the farmers of the grain
belt who are actively memorializing
their congressmen against the pro
posed bills.
The trrcat number of accident
cases and consequent suits against
the various city transportation lines
has resulted in what amounts to the
establishment of a scale price of
damages for dismemberment and
death. The scale is fixed on a purely
commercial basis too and sentiment
plays no part in it. For instance an
award of $150 was made recently to
the parents of a two-year-old child
that had been killed by a trolley car.
The reasoning was that a two-year
old child was not an income earner,
was in fact a source of expense to its
parents. Presumably the $150 was
expected to cover funeral expenses

there is logic in this method of asses
