New York Letter by Lucy Jeanne Price NEW YORK, July 1—Even a $25,000 home is not enough to lure indoors all of the curb brokers of this city, who have grown to believe that nowhere but the crowded, noisy, open street is the only truly thrilling place in the world to make their bids and sales. And so we are not after all, going to lose that scene which for more than a century has fascinated the sightseers in New York. The New York Curb Market Assn. has officially moved into its Wall-st. palace. But the outsiders who refuse to be tied to any such unplecturesque respectability have obtained an injunction to prevent anybody sending them off the street and there they will remain, dealing in their securities in the lively way they choose. Since 1732, those out of doors tradings have been carried on in the middle of Broad-st. and from the windows of the low brick brokeries on the east side of the street where the curb brokers have their offices. The brightly colored caps and head-bands, worn by the street men, whose shrewd, keen faces made the headscarf all the more grotesque have been one of the curiosities of the street to visitors. They could connect them only with a joke of some sort. But there was no joke in it. They were the means of easy identification for the clerks in the windows above signalling down their orders to their own particular traders. And we still have them, with us. The latest suggestion for conserving space in the congested office building districts of the city is to span the streets with "bridge floors" such as Metropolitan building has put above twenty-fourth-st. from its structure in Madison-ave, to its annex across the way. Not trouble nor time nor maternity an dim the radiance of Fanny Brice's humor and personality. She is back with all her radiance and joy in the Ziegfeld Follies with some particular good songs to help things box, it is a truly remarkable accomplishment. To make it still more emphatic, some of the finest exhibits came from just those districts. There's a treat ahead of patrons of the New York public library; at least for such of them as appreciate intimate association with greatness. For the collection of books which belonged to the late James G. Huneker was left by him for the public's use and will soon be at their disposal. The pungent joy to the reader will be personal annotations made all through the book. Such notes as "Twaddle," "rot," "more twaddle," are written in the margins in a nervous, english handwriting. Sometimes he is more diffuse. On the title page of a German work on Arnold Schoenberg, the ultra-modern composer, Huneker has written, "If you will eat prickly musical pears you must not be surprised if colic is the result." The library is a large and inclusive one. All European literature is more or less represented, but Zola, Flaubert and Baudelaire seem to have been the music critic's favorites. Just when Ziegfeld has closed his "Frolics," declaring that New York's late-hour gayety is dead forever, the "all-colored" show, "Shuffle Along," has found 11:30 p.m. such a popular hour for a performance that it has discontinued its Wednesday matinees in favor of the midnight hour. In spite of doubts of a good many experienced theatrical predictors, this "musical melange" at 63rd-st Music Hall has achieved success. It reminiscent of the old Williams & Walker shows of 20 years age, and quite evidently the public still likes them. At last we know what the couvert charge is all about. People have grumbled quietly about that dollar or so at the cabaret restaurants; but being well trained Americans, they never asked why. Now Dorothy Dixon on Hyson and Carl Hyson have made it clear in their suit against a Broadway restaurant. The entertainers, it seems, get 50 per cent of that couvert, and they stipulate how much the public is to be charged for it. In this particular place, the $1 and $2 couvert charges amounted in one month according to Hysons, to $12,-787. The public paid that amount.

Not trouble nor time nor maternity: an dim the radiance of Fanny Brice's minor, and personality. She is back with all her radiance and joy in the new Ziegenfeld Pollies with some particular good songs to help things long. "My Man," the translation of the late French hit, is proving one of the biggest goers on her program. I don't believe many people ever think of Stephen Foster, author of "My Old Kentucky Home" and Swanage Rivers as a Bowery resident. But so he was. And the Bowery Assn. gave a concert the other evening in his honor to raise $50,000 for a Stephen Foster memorial fund, which will be used to maintain the Bowery Mission bread line. It is a particularly appropriate fund, for the song writer spent his last years as a wanderer on the Bowery, and suffered there and nearly starved as thousands have done since that time. Harry Clark of 26 E. Fifty-fourth-st., may not be a model husband but he will never again have his wife arrested. At least so he now declares. His sensibilities were outraged when Mrs. Clark got a quart of cognac; where she didn't know. But she had it and it was against the law. So he provoked the law against her. Then he had to put up $500 to bail her out. That's the reason he's thrue with helping to uphold the constitution when it comes to members of his own family. Housewives used to watch the arrival of liners with steerage passengers aboard for the purpose of plucking out possibly cooks and waitresses from the crowd before other housewives beat them to it. But it doesn't do much good now to be the earliest arrival at Ellis Island. The girls have other plans. A liner from Queenstown brought 156 young women the other day, but housework? No indeed. Everyone of the whole 156 had arrived to become a typist or a movie actress. More than 5000 plants grown by New York school children were exhibited at their first exposition of the kind the other day. That may not sound like any tremendous achievement, considering this is a pretty populous city. But to anybody who stops to consider that the majority of these young exhibitors live in tall tenements where the sun couldn't even reach a window. At last we know what the convert charge is all about. People have grumbled quietly about that dollar or so at the cabaret restaurants; but being well trained Americans, they never asked why. Now Dorothy Dixon Hyson and Carl Hyson have made it clear in their suit against a Broadway restaurant. The entertainers, it seems, get 50 per cent of that convert, and they stipulate how much the public is to be charged for it. In this particular place, the $1 and $2 convert charges amounted in one month according to Hysons, to $12.787. The public paid that amount for the privilege of buying food in the cafe, and of course, for seeing the dancing. Is it beacuse cemeteries are peaceful that they attract some people? Or is it just because they have green grass and trees? Personally they never enticed me much; but uptown, in a big cemetery connected with Trinity church, dozens of young maitrons foregather with their babies and their sewing and have just as nice afternoons as you could imagine. The highest death rate in New York City is undoubtedly among the hotel canary birds. There has been a suddenly increased demand for songsters on the past few days become to be in the hotel teat on Broadway. The hospital clared today that contagious as and that one with a case for becoming infected. The national bought a tract Announcing the Location of the NEW HOME of J. T.

KEEP LOOKOUT FOR LEPERS IN COUNTY Residents of Orange county were warned today by Dr. H. E. Zaiser, superintendent of the county hospital, to keep a sharp lookout for Separano Ramirez, a Mexican 45 years of age, who is a leper and who may be roaming around Orange county. He is described as a man 5 feet 4 inches tall, black hair, brown eyes and weighing about 140 lbs. He has lumps on his face, his ears are larger than normal, having the appearance of being swollen. Nodules are also in evidence on his ears. He complains considerably of his lower limbs feeling numb. His case is diagnosed as a type of mixed leprosy. Ramirez is one of the two men who were arrested in Los Angeles a few days ago when they appeared in the crowd gathered around the healer who has been operating in Los Angeles. At that time he had escaped from the Orange county hospital. There is no record of his case in this county and he has never been in the county hospital, according to Dr. Zaiser. Dr. Zaiser went to the Los Angeles county hospital yesterday to see the man, only to find that he and the other leper had escaped from that institution the night before. The two may be together in this county. In view of the fact that Ramirez told Los Angeles officers that he was from Orange county, Dr. Zaiser believes that Ramirez may come into the county. Dr. Zaiser asks that anyone having information of Ramirez notify him, the county physician or a city health officer, in case the man is located in a city. The hospital superintendent declared today that leprosy is not as contagious as some people believe and that one has to be in contact with a case for a long time before becoming infected. The national government recently bought a tract of land at Carsville. La., upon which to establish a leper sanitarium for the treatment of lepers. It is proposed to establish a colony where people afflicted with the terrible disease may be sent and where they will have the benefit of scientific treatment in addition to association that will make them more content than where they are isolated individually by a county, city or state. REALTY INCREASED 50 PCT. BY WELL Garden Grove real estate values have increased about 50 percent since the Standard Oil Company began drilling its wildcat within a few hundred yards of the postoffice, according to C. A. Emerson. The Standard's test well was begun about six weeks ago and now is down around the 2200 foot mark. Other companies are talking of drilling in the district. California & Oregon Petroleum Company has let a contract to the Los Angeles rig building company to erect a derrick 2-1-2 miles west of the Standard rig, it is said. The company will do its own drilling, it was learned, and lumber for the derrick is on the ground. Also it is said that the Doheny interests are preparing to locate a test well 1-1-2 miles east of Garden Grove on the Andrews Petroleum company lease. REDUCE L.A. MILK PRICES Milk prices to the consumer dropped in Los Angeles today. The Los Angeles Creamery Co. and the Burr Creamery Co. announce a reduction of 1 cent in the prices of both quarts and pints of pasteurized milk. The reduction followed a drop in the price to "distributors by The So. Cal. Milk Producers' Assn." It would ill become the United States to be passive toward movement for the promotion of just and lasting peace throughout the world. This Nation should be in active leadership in this. McDAVID AWARDED STAR FOR SERVICE In recognition of continuous service in the Bell telephone system, the Pac-Tel. and Tel. Co. is presenting its employees emblems indicating their length of service. The emblems are of gold and are mounted as pins for the women and buttons for the men. The design consists of a telephone bell and a wreath encircling the monogram of the Pac-Tel. and Tel.
