New York News Letter FINANCIAL. r NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-I3y the first of next May more than 3500 train will enter New York daily, and the cam of which they will be composed would if ltluecd in a simile train reach a Icntcth of nearly four iiuiiurcu miles, incite tignrcM indi cute the tremendous possibilities of the new era of transportation in thii city, generally referred to an the "tunnel era." One thousand trains will enter the city under the Hudson Kivcr every day, and something like twice thl number by vurious other subways and tubes, Every thirty second will mark the arrival of a train and pasaeniers can be poured Into the city at the rate of 60,000 an hour or a million and a half a day. Of course all this will necessitate the most remarkable terminal ever con ceived, and ait a result the city will have tremendous clearing house. The Intercommunication of various system and the possibility of going almost anywhere without reaching the surface of the ground will make possible a wonderfully complicated sorting, system for trains and pas sengers, Just how many hundreds of miliums the final completion of all these plans will call fur can only be guessed, Hut it Is known that the cost will be greater than that of the Panama Canal. KnginccrsMliiiik that by the year 1921) the whole thing should be finished and predict that by that time ferryboats will have en tirely disappeared from rivers and surface cars from the city streets, Hut long be fore then it will be nossi- 1)1 e to ride from California to Mon tank Point without once chanuincr ars.

His son Kermit, however, is devoting himself steadily and systematically to preparations for the trip which he is to take with his father. As was announced re cently Kermit is to be the official photographer of the expedition. To obtain successful photographs of wild animals and birds is more difficult in some respects that to hoot them and young Kermit is undergoing a thor ough course of instruction in this sub ject at the hands of Frank M. Chap man, assistant curator of the Ameri can Museum of Natural History, in this city. Mr. Chapman probably is the most successful camera hunter of wild birds and beasts in this country ana he will impart ail the tricks cf this difliiull art to the President's son during the coming of birds which requires as careful procedure as to secure a "look pleasant" likeness of alcphant or tiger, even though it may not be so dangerous. The President selected Mr. Chapman as his son'c instructor in the tiled of photography for most of the trouble. Incidentally the examination of eighteen speci mens of what are described as "swill barrel flies" disclosed the fact that they carried the tidy number of 1 18, BOO.(X) bacteria, or over 6,000,000 to each fly, , S.

A collection of the photo Kraphs secured on the President's trip probably will become one of the exhibits in the Museum of Natural History. i , i The statements and generally believed that crime i increasing in New York from year to year has no foundation in fact accord ing to Mr. Maynard Shipley, a sta tistician who has been collecting in formation on this subject for several rs. While the number of arrests increased it is shown that this is due chiefly to the increase in the number of ordinances rclatintr to street traffic and similar subjects and to stncteu enforcement of these reit ulations. Violations of these, arising ottcn from ignorance or carelessness. are not to be taken as evidence of in creasing criminality. Mr. Shipley founds his conclusions on what he i , . . i . reKiiru as typical crimes such as highway robbery. He shows that the average number of arrests for tin crime have decreased steadily in New york tor the past nine years while in many otner cities which he names they have increased with great rapid uy. n crimes ot violence, such as murder and assault, there has been an increase which the investigator at tributes to the great increase of im migration from southern Europe. Mr, Shipley has compiled a list of cities in which murder is most frequent iilacing the city of Mexico at the top, In the United States, he asserts, the distinction of having the largest num ber of homicides in proportion to population must be divided between Lexington, Ky., and Kansas City, Kan Tl 1- -' f i r what the Bowery longingly refers to as the good old days when that fa mous thoroughfare was accurately dc seribed in a popular song as "a blaze of lights, At any rate two historic nowery places wnicn nave occn in . i. 1 .

No waiter In this East Side Delmonico's ever by any chance called things by their proper names in giving his orders.
