NEW YORK (N.AN.A)—The small suups of Little Syria, in Rector and ‘Washington streets, far downtown, are announcing final sales, and their prices are marked down becausc the shabby buildings that house them are marked to_come down. It will be a great change. Certain rows of these shops make the most fem- inine-looking layouts in Manhattan, be- cause the merchandise consists mainly of filmy garments never seen except in bed rooms. The shops will be succeeded by hotels and apartment houses almost exclusively for men of Wall Street. In the 90s, w’&wmym l;e“w up here, it was a resque dis- lrr;ct. d because of the Turkish coffee and pipes ‘and ths occasional sound of seductive airs played on reeds it became known among the as the “Hoo- chee-Koochie™” precinct. The dance by that name, never yet adopted by Amer- ican soclety, was then being presented to the American public for the first time at the World’s Fair in Chicago.

OCabs were barred from all street stands in the East Liberty section of the city and from some stands in the Oakland district. The order was issued by P. P. Walsh, police superintendent, who visited the areas where the most serious trouble has occurred. Cabs will be] d-Iluv:-ed to cruise the streets, it was said. Walsh’s order came almost simul- taneously with an attack on a cab in Oakland. A brick, directed at the cab, crashed through a store window. Police reserves, some of them mount- ed, patroled snow-swept, streets of East Liberty and Oakland streets during the day, which was marked by a sharp drop in temperature. Miss Emmeline Pitt, Federal labor conciliator, met with the executive committee of the strikers late today in an effort to end the strike.
