THE NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF GAY OLD NEW YORK
(Special to The Evening Times.)
New ..York, Sept.t 14. As a city of
travel Xew York leads the world.
Within ;the limits of the greate city
the travel every year by cars, cabs,
autos and various other means totals
a menv trilile of three billions of
miles, enough to equal 120,000 ' trips
around the earth each year, 333 every
day or about 14 trips every hour.
Some idea of what this enormous
travel means may be gained from the
fact that if one individual had to do
all of It he would have to move at the
rate of" nearly 6,000 miles a minute to
accomplish the task. Tremendous as
is this total of travel in the city alone,
it shrluks Into Insignificance, when
compared to the travel originating and
terminating here. While absolute fig
ures are impossible to obtain, the re
turns from only a part of the steam
ship and railway lines reaching this
city show that 100,000,000,000 miles,
equal to more than 5,000,000 round- trips
to the sun, does not exceed the total
of individual journeys beginning of
ending hero. More than 16,000 persons
travel dally between New York and
Philadelphia, and between this city
and Boston about 5,000. More than
2,000 people find it necessary to make
the trip to or from Chicago every day.
while twice that number travel be
tween here and Buffalo every twenty
four hours. And all these figures are
for through travel and do not take into
consideration the millions of miles of
local travel nlong hee lines. It is no
uncommon thing for transatlantic
steamship lines to Drlng in 5.000 per
sons In one day. In fact considering
all these items the total of 100,000,000,000
miles Ib probably too small. What the
handling of" these travelers means
may be seen from the fact that at the
firanil Central Station this week 700
men have been employed to do noth
ing but handle baggage. During the
week at this one point alone more
than 100,000 pieces have been handled,
running as high sometimes as 25,000 in
one day.
Travel Under the Water.
Will the tunnels be safe? That is
the question which many New York
ers are asking today concerning the
great tubes being run under the North
and Kast rivers. Unfortunately the
discovery of alarming structural
weakness in the tunnel from the Bat
tery to Hrooklvn has postponed a prac
tical answer to this question and given
pessimists .. ground for argument.
While it was promised that this tun
nel would be opened by the end of
next month, New Yorkers who now
travel on the surface of the river by
ferry will now have to wait until next
summer at least before traveling un
der It. Ever since the era of tunnel
construction1 opened in this city there
have not been wanting those to assert
that they would never be foolhardy
enough to risk their lives in the tubes.
Hiding complacently on the ferryboats
above the course of these tunnels they
have pointed triumphantly to the
"geysers" in the rivers, as the larg
masses of water lifted above the sur
face by the compressed air escaping
from the tubes far below are called
Now It lias leaked out that the Brook
lyn tunnel frri the Battery will have
to be practicaily made over, although
completed except for a few details.
The engineers in charge of the con
struction have been extremely reticent
but it has been learned that Orders
have nlreadv been Issued for lining
more than 2,000 feet of each tube with
concrete. No sooner was the work
finished and the interior air pressure
removed than joints in the big pipe be
gnn to leak and plates to start. While
some engineers believe that safety
can be 'achieved by a concrete lining,
others hold that it will be necessary
either to envelope the present steel
tubes In others, an enormously expen
sive Job, or to abandon the work
Meanwhile New York's first taste of
tunnel travel is indefinitely post
puned.
Automobile Locomotion.
According to the latest figures Just
prepared at Albany. New York state
continued to lead all others in the
liumber of automobiles In use within
Its borders. Willie the number of ac
cldents lately may have caused some
people to suspect this, It nevertheless
comes as a surprise to find that the
Empire State has in use within its
hordcM 46,974 cars, of which the value
mav be roughly pliced at 100,000,000.
The great majority of these cars, of
course, arc found In the city of Greater
New York, but in spite of this fact
this city takes second place to Los
''Angeles In the number of cars in use
In proportion to the population,
P:iilfiirnln cltv leading all others.
the 230,000 machines in use in the
United States, however, New York has
nenrly 20 per cent of the total with
Us 47,000 cars. New Jersey comes next
with about 32.000; Massachusetts is
third with 25,000, while next In order
comes Texas with 17.000; Pennsylvania
with 16.000. and California with 11.0C0.
In this state at least the tendency is
toward medium prjeed and medium
powered cars as compared with the
most expensive machines. But even
ho, that the auto Is a luxury which
many owners cannot really afford was
shown by the -manner in which new
machines were sold for almost any
cash price during the slump in the
stock market recently.
; Births On the Ocean.
A record likely to stand for a good
many years was established by the
transatlantic liner Kroonland this
week when after a seven days voyage
from the other side she reached port
with Just seven more passengers than
when she started; an average increase
of one a day. The officers of the ship
are trying .to decide whether to change
her. name to , "Croon-land" and get a
pet stork, or to stop calling at ports
of Holland, the country in( which this
bird abounds. The ship's doctor, who
was kept pretty busy with the seven

Several times during the past Rlx
months have people m Raleigh been
attacked by vicious dogs, and yester

during the voyage. I the child drove the dog from the
store and tnen drove him from a wood
house which he had entered, when the
dog sprang at him, tearing a piece of
i flesh from his face Another account
was that the child was patting the
dog on the head when he sprang at
him.
The child was painfully bitten on
one side of his face, but not as serious
ly as at first thought, for he bled pro
fusely. There is an ordinance In Raleigh
against vicious dog' running at large,
and it reads as follows:
Chapter XII, Section 7.
No vicious dog shall run at large
within the city limits or be kept inse-
icure on any premises within the city

DURHAM CATTLE
AND TICK FEVER
TIMES COMPANY
GRANTED CHARTER
(Special to The Evening Times.)
Durham, N. C, Sept. 14. The
government inspectors during the
past few days have quarantined
thirteen head of cattle in Durham
county on account of. the tick fever,
and tCis fact necessarily has result
ed in a number of dairymen being
compelled to discontinue selling
milk, until the existing condition
changes. The inspectors are very
accurate and lose no time in quar
antining cattle when there Is any
danger of the tick fever. It is a
deadly epidemic, poisons the milk
and causes the death of the cattle
in a short space of time. The in
spectors have been working dili
gently with the cases and only three
deaths have resulted.
Charters were granted today to the
following corporations:
The Times Company, Lincolnton

can begin business with $1,000, the
shares to be $10 each. Incorporators

Tokio, Sept.' 14. The citizens of
Tokib gave a brilliant banquet yes
terday to Prince Ito. The prince, In
the course of a speech, said the Co
reans were not necessarily ignorant
of or umsympathetic toward Japan's
efforts for the reconstruction of the
government. But unrestrained vio
lence might lead to the obliteration
of their country which result would
have been invited 1 by them and
would not be the consequence of any
desire on the part of Japan.

eign affairs, today created Count Ku
