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,

on account of his keen interest in the
political campaign. 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

this city. Mr. Chapman probably is
the most successful camera hunter of
wild birds and beasts in this country

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

they carried the tidy number of 1 18,

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

from Mexico,

SCARCITY OF MECHANICS.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2. It is' stated
at the office of the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company that there is
a big falling off in the number of idle
mechanics, especially in the building
trades who are applying for work. A
representative of the Interborough
said: "Many men are applying for
work, but they are drivers, hucksters
and peddlers. Several months ago a
great many bricklayers and idle men
in the other building trades were
among the applicants. Now they are
few."

of the Well-informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and

In supplying that demand with its ex
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative f ot its remark
able success.
