NEW YORK TAX DEPARTMENT SHOWS AN INCREASE IN VALDES
OF $71,850,000 FOR THE PAST YEAR—ABSURDITIES OF THE
SULLIVAN CUN LAW ARE COMING UP AGAIN—AN IRISH
STEEL WORKER FALLS DOWN AN ELEVATOR SHAFT.
New York, Feb. 14.—The presi
dent of tb« New York tv depart
ment hu submitted his preliminary
report to the Mayor. Upon this re
port the assessment rolls tor the
year 1012 will be based. The report
deals In approximate figures only. It
shows the Increase In the assessed
value of real estate, exclusive of
special franchises and the decrease
on account of exemptions and re
ductions are as follows: Manhattan,
Increase of $44,300,000; Bronx, In
crease of $14,040,000; Brooklyn,
Increase of $430,000; Queens, In
crease of $11,300,000; a total of
' $71,560,000. Richmond Borough

capacity of the city of about $400,-
00Q. Considering the enormous In
cruise In the values of real estate
In this city and tee gigantic debt al-
ready carried by the city this In
crease sAms father paltry.
Absurdities of Sullivan Gnn Law.
* The absurdities of the Sullivan gun
law, which has caused so much dls-
- cusslon.and criticism already are
clearly - illustrated by two' cases
which were recorded here within a
few days. In one case a woodsman
from Maine was arrested because he
was found wandering through the
streets with a. revolver In his hand.
In the magistrate’s court the man
said that he had been robbed by a
stranger-and that he to hunting
for tho thief when the police ar
rested him. The magistrate not on
ly discharged tho man but gave him
money enough to reach Passaic,
where the prisoner has friends. "-In
the other case the foreman of a con
struction company In North Carolina,
who had alwaya been th the habit of
carrying a pistol for self protection,
had to come to New York on busi
ness. When he learned upon hla
arrival In the city that the lews of
the State prohibit the carrying of
weapons, hs went to the nearest po
lice etatlon end, explaining the cir
cumstances, handed his revolver to
the Lieutenant In charge of the sta
tion. The lieutenant promptly ar-
- rested the law-abiding man from
North Carolina and, being a stran
ger In' the city, the man had to re
main In a cell all night It la true,
he wae discharged by the magistrate
on the following morning, bnt he
felt keenly the humiliation of being
arrested and kept In a cell all night.
Mbrepver he was not permitted to
take his trusty guh back to North
Carolina with him, although he was
assured that the police would send
It to him by express.
Irishman had a Long Fall.
It does not happen very often that
a m>n falls head first down an de
lator snaft from tho eight floor of
n (building and lives to tell the tale.
-An Irish steel worker, employed In
' the erection of a twenty-five story
'office building on Malden Lane, hnd
that rare and rather exciting ex.
-parlance the other day. While flx-
lnfl tho doors to the elevator shaft
on the eight floor the man stepped
Oq a loose plank and shot head first
down the shaft, followed by several
boards ang a big pans of ptato glass.
'Fortunately for him be became en
tangled In tba cablet suspended In
the ehsft which broke his f*H and
saved him from being dashed to
places when h« reached the top of
one of the elevators on the ground
floor. A few cuts afld bruise* were
the extent of his Injuries.
Stork Visits Terminal Station.
Considering the fact that the
Pennsylvania Terminal etatlon hu
-now been In use for more th*n u
year and that goring that time hun
dreds of thousands’ bars passed
through the station, Jt Is rather sur
prising that an unexpected visit of
the Stork wag delayed until the oth
er day. Mr. snd Mrs. Rahil arrived
at the station from New Brunswick,
N. J., for a visit to Now York, but
upon thetr arrival at the station Mrs.
Rehtl was surprised by a visit from
the stork. Th* ehlld, a healthy lit
tle girl, was born In tb* women’s re
tiring room of tb* terminal and en
joys the distinction of being tbs first
Mby to see th# light of day In that
busy structure. The only sad feature
shaurd custom, th# parents of the
little girl may bestow some such
frightful names a3 Pennsylvania Ter
minal or Pennsylvania 8tatlon upon
the defenaeless mite.
Interest In the Panama Canal.
With the work on the Panama Ca
nal nearing completion the general
lntereet In the great undertaking la
rapidly Increasing. Among the
wealthelr classes a perfect mania
has broken out to visit the canal
and ths steamers leaving New York
for the Isthmus are crowded with
passengers. The staterooms are en
gaged for many weeks ahead and
the demand for transportation Is
steadily increasing. As ths hotel
accomodations on the Isthmus are
quite Inadequate, the majority of
tba tourists use their steamer as a
hotel during the two daye In Colon.
Woman Had Husband Arrested
A few days ago a woman had her
husband, who conducts an employ
ment agency, arrested on the charge
of llltrea'tlng and neglecting her.
When the case came up before a
magistrate the women testified that
her husband tfot only beat her fre
quently, bnt also remained away
from the hoyse over night on fre
quent occasions and that hs was In
the habit of going to theaters with
girls, without taking hla lawful wife.
Th* Prisoner dehled the'truth of his
wlfo’s charges and stated that she
wagged-her tongue to much that he
could hot live with her. The mag
istrate gave the man the choice be.
tween going to the workhouse for a
year or to submit to the conditions
being placed on probation
the same length of time. The wtte
Kadi decreed that the recalcitrant
hukband must coma home and re
port to his wife every evening at
nlna o’clock and-that he ha* to take
his wife along who n he goes to thea
ters or some other pine# Of amuse
ment. It took the prisoner some
time to decide which sentence he

would take. He finally, however, ac
cepted the probation In spit*' of Its
Irksome conditions.
Fumes Made the Firemen Drunk
While working st a fire the other
night several firemen became Intoxt-
ented ana although tholrcondttlon
Incapacitated them, they wer* not
eve n reprimanded for It. The fire
was In a liquor warehonse and the
men became Intoxicated by the
