NEW YORK LETTER
NEW YORK, March 26.-More
than 20,000 families aggregating over
100,000 persons, it is estimated, have
been driven from their homes by
New York building quake, that is,
the steady advance in the transfor
mation of this city which is now wear
ing completion- a total to be compar
ed only to the number which suffered
similar fate in the recent Italian
earthquake. These figures will be
doubled, it is asserted, before the
new New York, structurally speaking,
is achieved. The destruction of
homes has been confined to no one
locality, nor has it come as the re
sult of any one event. Every big
undertaking has contributed its quota
of persons who have in many cases
literally had their homes pulled down
about their heads- To make room
for the approach to the new Manhat
tan bridge, now nearing completion,
the destruction of the homes of 2.000
families has been necessary and the
wrecking of the tenements along the
lines of approach have made 10,000
persons homeless. More than 12,000
persons were driven from their homes
to make way for the approach to the
new Williamsburg bridge. In place
of the former narrow tenement-lined
street there is now a wide parkway.
The new $25,000,000 Pennsylvania
terminal swept away the homes of
15.000 persons who inhabited four
square blocks. The new building,
however, will have space to accomo
date twenty times that number or
300.000 and if pushed to its greatest
capacity will be able to handla
146.000,000 people every year. The
erection of the new Grand Central
terminal, which before it is finished
will cost close to $70,000,000, deprived
thousands of persons of their hornet
Almost every new office building and
manufacturing plant erected means a
further encroachment of business up
on residence territory and Manhattan
is already so crowded that most of
those evicted by this process must go
to other boroughs or to the suburbs.
Althogether New York's continuous
building quake is quite as great a
wrecker of homes as asy quake which
nature can produce-
While it may seem somewhat para
doxical for clergymen to demand that
saloons be allowed to open on Sun
days, that is exactly what is taking
place here- The movement indeed
has already developed so far that a
bill legalizing such a course has been
introduced at Albany which has the
backing not only of ministers in gen
eral but of the famous Committee of
Fourteen itself. This committee
made up of prominent churchmen and
workers for civic betterment was
originally organized for the suppres
sion of the so-called Raines Law
"hotels" and its investigations in this
field have forced on its members the
conclusion that to permit drinking
places open under certain restrictions
for a part of the day on Sunday is
the proper solution of the question
and far preferable to the present plan
under which it is common knowledge
that the saloons keep open in viola
tion of the law. By legalizing this
opening the Committee expects to ac
complish several things. First of1 all
it would be possible to put out of
business the disreputable resorts
where drinks are served Sundays and
week days alike, now encouraged by
the liquor law of the state. The pro
posed innovation, it is believed, would

also confine liquor selling to the more
respectable class of places, since the
producers of 95 per cent of the beer
onsumed in New York have for
some time been in agreement with
the Committee to cooperate for the
betterment of existing conditions
By legalixing Sunday selling, too, the
chance of police graft frrom extor
tion of money for protection would
be greatly reduced, and lastly the
revenues of the city would be added
to by increasing the license fee of
those places desiring to open on Sun
day by 25 percent. It is for these
reasons that New York is being
treated to the unusual spectacle of
ministers and social workers striving
to bring about the legalized sale of
liquor during certain hours on Sun
day, Whether it is due to a falling off in
his taste for literature, or because of
business reasons. Father Knicker
bocker has lost one record, and worst
of all, from his point of view, to the
city of Chicago, New York, once the
great magazine publishing center of
the country, must now take second
place, since the latest figures show
that the Windy City has outstripped
it in this respect. Woman's World,
the Chicago magazine which has the
largest circulation of any in the
United States, which means on earth,
the figure being over 2,000,000, ships
every year- more than 5.000,000
pounds of its publication. In tha
face of figures like these Father
Knickerbocker can only fall back on
the fact that he still has a larger num
ber of publications, even though their
cumulation is smaller. Perhaps he
has only hit business methods to
blame for the fact that the magazine
publishing record is no longer his.
A great factor in that business here,
as in a good many other fields of
business, has been to increase capit
alization as fast as possible, with the
result that the total capital of three
leading magazines published here
with a combined circulation of 1,400,-
000 is many timet greater than that
of the Chicago publication with its
2,000,000 readers, which started wkh
the investment of $1000 and has
grown from the profits to a $2,500,000
concern with annual net earnings of
600,000. Here such earnings would
be much more highly capitalized,
meaning smaller returns, and it is
therefore largely due to Father
Knickerbocker's love for big figures
that investors have given the impetus
to the publishing business in the
West which has robbed him of his
literary laurels.
Sixteen voyages across the Atlantic
on an investment of one nickel would
seem to be a somewhat incredible
achievement, but that is just what
the prize trouble-maker of the local
immigration authorities has accom
plished. Benjamin Axelrod is the
name of the precocious youth, who
starting from his Russian home some
years ago with the equivalent of just
five pennies has kept Commissioner
Watcnorn busy deporting him ever
since. No less than seven times has
he reached Ellis Island, the emigrant
station, as a stowaway, and no Its
than seven times has he been sent
back. The last time the Commis
sioner, who apparently does not ad
mire persistency, warned Benjamin
that he would never again be allowed
to set foot on American soil. That
occurred in February, 1908, and since
nothing was heard of the prize stow
away for more than a year, Mr. Wat
chorn was lulled in to the happy be
lief that Benjamin had finally desisted
in his attempts to reach this country,
N'o such idea had occurred to Ben
jamin, however. Repeated failure
had simply made him more circum

belief was rudely shattered this week

NEW EAST RIVER BRIDGE
NEW YORK, March 26Queens-
boro Bridge constitutes the main
topic of conservation in Long Island
City just now, and its opening to
traffic net week is looked upon as
the approaching signal for a great
boom in the little city across the
East River. The bridge will be the
third connecting Manhattan with
Long Island and a fourth structure
the Manhattan Bridge is now well
under way.
It is now twenty-five years since
the Brooklyn Bridge was completed
and presented to the world as one of
its wonders. It occupied thirteen
years to complete it. During the
first year of its use it was estimated
that 10,0000 persons crossed it daily.
In 1893, the year of the consolidation
of Brooklyn and New York this num
ber had grown to 300,000. and the
figure has since been inceased to
about 600,000 a day.
The threatened exodus to Brook
lyn and the suburbs of Queens Coun
ty was observed a decsde ago. and
after the consolidation municipal at
tention was insistently urged to a
recognition of this anticipated dis
tribution of population and the grow
ing necessity for providing additional
bridges across the East River, with
the result that the Williamsburg
Bridge was opened several years ago.
Although its capacity is 30,000 per
sons an hour, it has not stopped the
increase of traffic over the Brooklyn
Bridge.
Between the Williamsburg and
Brooklyn bridges the Manhattan
Bridge was started in 1901. With its
phenomenal capacity of 82,000 per
sons an hour and 650,000 a day, this
bridge is planned to be the largest
of them all.
With 7. 424 foot to its credit, the
new cjueensburg Bridge is the larg
est of the bridges now erected in
point of length from end to end. Its
longest span is that over the river
west of Blackwcll's Island. The
length of this span is 1,182 feet.
The bridge was planned for the
accomodation of heavy traffic, and al
though estimated to cost $13,000,000.
t has already exceeded that figure by
3 large amount. Althoiian its daily
carrying capacity has been stated to
be 500,000 persons, it is more prob
ible that 600,000 persons will be able
to use it each day. ,
The westerly approach to the
bridge is at Second Avenue, Manhat
tan, and occupies the block between
Fifty-ninth and Sixtieth streets to the
Fast River. Its easterly approach
faces a splendid plaza in Long Island
City.
Though the bridge is to be opened
to traffic next week, the official open
ing and dedication will not take place
until the coming summer, when it is
proposed to hold a monster celebra
tion in honor of the event.
