Grace Hotel Forsake Fifth Avenue Tradesmen Steadily Break Exclusiveness of Noted Residence District of New York. MRS. VANDERB1LT LEADS WW New Exclusive District Expected to 8prtng Up In Section Where Near* 8lums Existed Before--Long Fight for District. * New York.--{Stealthy but steady advances by tradesmen, covering a period of more than twenty years, have virtually broken the residential exclusiveness of Fifth avenue, known tbe world over as the home precinct of the Vanderbllts, Carnegles, Harrimans, Plants, Frlcks and other wealthy families. One by one mansions which housed international personages and gave to Fifth avenue much of Its glitter and fame are surrendering to commercial enterprise, and the rich are seeking homes in new "exclusive" parts of the city. Real estate men, who have watched with Interest this aggression St trade, say that another decade will have wiped out the last bit of residential exclusiveness in the avenue. Mrs. Vanderbilt Moves. The change in Fifth avenue was reflected in the recent purchase of property bordering the East river at Fifty eighth street by Mrs. William K. Van derbllt, Sr„ where she intends to build a home in a section known as Sutton square. This bit of property Is direct ly across from Blackwell's Island, where a city prison is located, and Is almost underneath the Manhattan approach to the Queensborough bridge. Real estate men expect that Mrs. Vanderbllt's migration to the East river will mean a new exclusive district In a part of the city where near-slums existed before. Mrs. Vanderbilt, who a few years back helped to make Fifth avenue history with her brilliant social activities. c:mcAi;o • Jackson itnd Clark St. Rooa>3 with batb tl.ISE and 12.00 p*T day; with private both Ki.tB and |'.50.

Traffic and crowds, resulting from the trade invasion, she said, had taken away its exclusiveness. Wage Fight for District. The fight to "save" Fifth avenue has been waged since the late nineties, when real estate men began to get options on property near the magnificent mansions. Members of the Vanderbilt family and others owning homes there expended millions of dollars in buying up property in an effort to stem tbe tide. Much of this property was purchased at exorbitant figures, and after a lapse of years has fallen back for business use. Hotels, banking houses. Jewelry stores, millinery and fine tailoring establishments have gradually crept northward along the thoroughfare. The home which Mrs. Vanderbilt Is forsaking at Fifth avenue and Fiftysecond street will become the site of a trust company. Its sale was made possible as the result of the death of Mr. Vanderbilt In Paris, when the house, owned by his estate, was sold to the highest bidder. The first actual break in the Vanderbilt holdings came when Oen. Cornelius Vanderbilt leased his at Fifth avenue and Fifty-fourth street to a shoe firm. The residence of the late Henry C. Frick, steel magnate, will eventually go to the city for use as a museum. Miners Earn $5,000 a Year. Cardiff, Wales.--Some coal miners of South Wales are being paid as high as $5,000 a year, while wages amounting to $3,500 and $4,000 are fairly com-, mon. Despite this, the government is having difficulty in collecting income taxes from the miners.

LeRoy Meislnger, government meteorologist here. Mr. Meislnger in a paper discussing the effect of air conditions on commercial aviation says that meteorology la the mainstay of aviatiou, regardless of the confidence a pilot may have In his motor and in his plane. The "ocean of air," he says, constantly Is changing and does not contain steadfast currents, such as the Gulf stream and the Japan current, which are found in oceans of water. Must Gather Data. tsecause of the constantly changing condition of the aerial routes through which the air liners of the future would travel Mr. Meislnger declares before big commercial aviation companies can operate on a large seal*, great masses of data on air conditions at all times of the year, In all places and all circumstances must be gathered. He suggests placing consulting meteorologists on the stalls of ail aviation companies to study the air as It affects aviutloQ and to decide daily what altitude and what route a plane should take froiu one city to another. Air conditions are so changeable, Mr. Meislnger says, that a plane traveling between the same two points might have to take a different route almost every day In order to make the trip with the least danger. Also, a plane flying from New York to Chicago might find a certain route the best, while one traveling from Chicago to New York on the same day might find an entirely different route more favorable. Things to Consider. Some of the things which airplane dispatchers will have to consider, he says, are the speed and direction of the wind in the area to be traversed, the frequency of low clouds nnd fop. the frequency and Intensity of thunderstorms, the vertical temperature dis tributlon, the normal values of precipitation at flying fields und the effect of atmospheric pressure on aerial instruments. particularly the altimeter The changing conditions in the make it impossible to gather the n«< essary Information In a single path finding flight over an area, he co« tlnues. hut by gathering data ia n u merous flights at all times of the ye and in all circumstances a system of averages could be devised which would aid greatly in dispatching planes. Signaia Tapped on Door Heard by Might Watchman--Clsrk Covers 14 Miles in 20 Minutes to Release Prisoner. Philadelphia.--His knowledge of telegraphy, the presence of the night watchman at an opportune time and a mad dash of 14 miies In 20 minutes by the only other man who knew the combination of a bank safe, saved Arthur D. Brenner, assistant city treasurer of Philadelphia, from possible death after he had been accidentally locked In a tiny vault for many hours. It was late In the afternoon when Brenner stepped Into the small vajilt. A messenger had just arrived from Harrisburg, Pa., seeking Information of a certain warrant. It was an Important mission for the state treasurer and Brenner went In person to fulfill It The hour was 3:30 o'clock In the afternoon. < Locked Into 8mall Vault. A few minutes later Brenner heard an ominous clicking. The heavy doors tumbled Into position. "Wait a minute 1 Hold on there!" he shouted. / There was no answer. Instead, the lights within the vault were snapped off, leaving him In darkness. Then Brenner took counsel with himself He thought he might be able to survive the night. George Morrison, the chief clerk, the only other man who knew the combination, had gone home early in the afternoon. He lived 14 miles from the city hall. Brenner reatlsed that no one could hear his voice, so he tried to sleep, knowing that the best air was near the floor. He used several bank ledgers as a cushion. When he awoke he realized that the air was bad and that his situation was serious. "~ It was about 9 o'clock. Brenner thought of the night watchman coming on duty, and he had an inspiration. He began to signal by tapping with a key on the steel door of his prison. The Morss System. Brenner finally received the reply he was waiting for.

CARRY 115,163 BY AIR No Liyes Lost in the Commercial Service. Rsoords Show a Total of 3,'CAJM Mileage--Many Minor Accidents and Forced Landings. JNe«[ ifork.--A total of 115,163 passengers flew 3,136,550 miles In commercial airplaues during the last twelve months without the loss of a single life, the Manufacturers Aircraft association announced here. These iigures are based on tbe performance of 423 planes, and it is believed that the number of passengers and the mileage would be doubled If the figures of the 1,000 commercial airplanes operating In this country were obtainable. "In the absence of any federal system of registration, air laws and government methods for tabulating tbe ownership and performance of aircraft, it has been found difficult to trace the total number," the association stated. "The totals are based on questionnaires distributed by the association, but, due to the itinerant nature of much of the flying, it has been difficult to trace and record more than half of these. This one hnif, bjr eighty-seven companies, or individuals, are permanently located in ail parts of the United States. "Much of the mileage was made on short flints of ten to fifteen miles, for which an average fee of $12JV) was charged. An increasing demand for aerial transportation between the cities has been noted, the average charge for this service being 65 cents a mile. On practically all intercity (lights baggage or freight was carried, the quantity limited only by the capacity of the craft. This business aggregated 41,390 pounds. "There were accidents and furced landings, but according to.the si gnat reports from the eighty-seven companies, In the 3,130,550 miles flown, not a single life was lost. There were 222 forced landings and thirty-eight accidents. There have been fatal accidents In other instances, hut they occurred in the course of stunt or exhibition performances or under circumstances indicating that undue risk had been taken."

At Ninette 2,000 lizards were shoveled -out Of the basement window shaft at the government sanatorium. In the doctor's quarters 60 were counted. Motorcar drivers have to keep skid chains on their cars, as the roads are made slippery by a surface of living lizards. Many of the people keep Indoors rather than venture out because of the (lipagrveuble sensatlon of crunching a lizard underfoot. The lizard Is more treacherous than banana peel. The little reptiles, which vary, from four inches to eighteen Inches in length, travel by night only, and are now on their annual trek from the lakes to find suitable crevices in which to hibernate.

Martin Strone, the husband, told the recorder that while peddling religious tracts in the streets a friend had warned him that a rival was paying court to his wife and that he bad better go home. On his arrival there he said he found Sam Stewart enjoying a chat with the wife. Then the fight started.
