New York News Letter
NEW YORK, July ll.-Bomb-throwing
is becoming so common in
New York that it might almost.be
called a habit. So frequent are these
explosions that the district in which
i':ost of them occur has been given
the title of "the dynamite zone".
This terror ridden area lies on the
east side of the city in the Italian
quarters, extending one block east
and west and including eleventh,
twelfth and thirteenth streets from
north to south. Since the first of the
year there have been no less han ten
serious dynamite explosions in this
turbulent territory, while minor ones
doing comparatively little damage are
of almost daily occurance and too
numerous to record. In five adjoin
ing tenements on Eleventh Street,
which constitute the very heart of the
"dynamite zone" there have been no
less than six large bombs exploded in
the last three months. As a result
of these little incidents the tenements
have been practically rebuilt several
times, having been pretty thoroughly
wrecked by each explosion. In this
section a large proportion, of, the
population carries pocket bombs
ready to be hurled at anybody against
whom a grievance fancied or real
exists. That the list of casualties is
not enormously greater is due to the
fact that most of those who commit
the outrages are not expert bomb
manufacturers. Usually the smaller
infernal machines fail to go off at the
right time, thus giving the intended
victim time to get out of danger.
Strenuous efforts are being made to
stamp out the bomb-throwing epide-"
mic, but in spite of all the efforts of
the police is continues to grow. In
deed it is stated that the setting off
of the bomb in the dynamite zone
was done merely as an expression of
contempt tor the police. Oddly
enough more than three-fourths of all
the dynamite outrages occur at just
about the same houi- four o'clock in
the morning.
Xew York's ancient whipping post.
long since abolished; has finally been
revived and brought up to date in the
form of a spanking room technically
known as "spankatorium number one"
Indeed within a single week the city
has instituted both municipal chas
tisement and municipal bodily clean-
iness. Both these innovations, how
ever, effect only the juvenile portion
of the population. The spankine
room, the modern equivalent of the
whipping post, is a newly installed
adjunct of the children's court. While
the city does not do the actual chas
tising it furnishes all the necessary
outfit leaving the final act to the
parent of the young offender. The
spankatorium is liberally furnished
with rules, switches, slippers and the
like, together with several solid chairs
and a table. Two atendants are also
on hand to bold any youngster who
may show fight. Of course the sen
tence of a spanking is not imposed
by the court, but only offered to the
parents as an alternative to a term
in an institution for their offspring,
it being the opinion of the judge that
the spanking will produce better re
sults. In this idea he finds ready
support among the parents of the
children who come before him, since
in every case where the spanking has
been suggested the suggestion has
been promptly acted upon. To Abie
Epstein, a youthful pickpocket, fell
the questionable honor of testing for
the first time the spanking room.
Judged by his remark it is going to
prove a howling success. In every
case after the punishment has been
administered the culprit is recalled
to the court room to explain publicly
;why he has been spanked. In addit
iion to thus administering doses of
the rod the city is also washing about
j 50,000 boys every week in the baths
j which it has just opened. Among
jthc youngsters the new baths are far
jmore popular than the novel spanka
torium.

Crafting on the part of well-known
society women has reached such a
state in this city that dressmakers,
milliners and department stores gen-
jerally are seriously considering vari
jous means of stopping it. There are
not one but many women in New
(York today who never pay a cent for
J their clothes, the price coming out of
j their friends or the shops which they
i patronize. The strange feature of
I this graft is found in the fact that it
j is practised by women who could well
I afford to pay for their clothes. In
jdecd it is of necessity practiced only
I by them since to carry out this game
successfully recogniged social posi
tion is necessary. The method of
procedure is surprisingly simple. A
woman merely decided which dress
maker she wishes to patronize and
then orders her dresses. After the
order is given she explains that she
has a large number of friends whose
trade she could bring to the establish
ment. Moreover she will promise to
bring them provided she is furnished
the dress free of charge. Otherwise she
will take them elsewhere. Of course
the more prominent the woman the
easier the game, and the proprietor
can hardly afford to turn down her
offe ri nany event. If she succeeds in
carrying out her agreement the cost
of he rsupplies is simply tacked on to
her friends bills. she fails to do
so it is paid by the proprietor. This
graft applies not only to wearing ap
parel but to many other things as
well. It was recently brought to
light that two prominent women,
wives of multimillionaires, were get
ting their portraits for nothing from
a photographer who regularly charges
$100 a dozen for pictures. One of
the two actually did in exchange
bring some of her friends there. The
other did nothing. It seems to be a
difficult matter to stamp this graft
out, for few dealers care to risk of
fending a wealthy woman who might
bring much trade. The evil, how- NEW YORK, tfuly 11. The As-
