Hylan, but to those intimately ac- quainted with the highways and by- ways there are many more who, not- withstanding the informality of their choice, rule and hold title fully as strongly as the city’s chief executive, There exists almost every kind of title on the East Side from mayor down to “clerk”, and from *“duke” to the most fledgling of princelings. Not only do the “mayors” hold title in themscives, but the personality of some of these quasi rulers has been so strong that the fame and the giamor surrounding their names have Leen transmitted to lineal descen- dants, for instance, did Erwin Steingut, “mayor of Second Avenue,” come into the title which gives him sceial leadership in that seetion where he reigns. Most of the city’'s “mayors” and “nobility”’, however, are the first pos- scssors of their titles. Among the best known of these is “Stitch” Mc- Carthy, “mayor of Grand street,” whose real name is said to be Rosen- thal. HMis pool room “kingdom” at Grand and Forsyth strects has been one of the landmarks of the East Side for a generation, McCarthy has numbered amoug his friends men who have risen to fame and fortune, including the late Presi- dent Theodore Roosevelt and his son, Colonel Roosevelt, His claim for dis- tinction is a double one, for not only is he “mayor of Grand street,” but he also is one of the two founders of the Grand Strect Boys' association, which now numbers on its ro'ls 1,600 men including judges, lawyers, sena- tors and others of even greater dis- tinction, IFifth avenue's smartest clubs are no more exclusive and rigid in en- trance requircments than this unique organization. One is ineligible unless born or “brought up” on the KEast Side below 1%ourteenth street, and sometin not even then. “Unele” Nathan Vicdicker, mayor of Eldridge street, who numbers many city and state members of the indiciary among his friends, has been “reclected” to his position for the last 21 years. He recently sailed for Eur- ope and among the host of friends who saw him off were three city magistrates, two judges, a banker and & wealthy manufacturer, A mention of “mayors” is incom- plete unless the city's “nobility” is ac- counted for and in this connection the “Duke” of Essex street looms at the forefront, Joe Levy, whose ducal es- tate for years has been the KEssex Market Court, both old and new, probably is the leader in the city’s princely ranks. Among others whose history Is embellished with East Side glory I8 Max Berger, ‘“mayor of Avenue C." The East Side also has its poet JJaureate, but the title, as many East Hide ones are apt to be, is in doubt. There are two on whom others would thrust it-—-""Dos Morris Marx, who with “Stitch” McCarthy originated the Grand Street Boys' association, und Joe Levenson.

This seed, Mr. Hackleman said, has |been tested in all portions of the iUnlted States. “Comparative tests of clever from various sources, native and for- elgn, conducted by experiment sta- tions in the majority of clover grow- ing states,” his letter say “show conclusively the worthlessness of im- !ported European seed, particularly ! |that of Italian and French origin, | which represents the bulk of the im- | | portations.” | The letter is the result of the [fourth annual meeting of the Inter-| |national Crop Improvement associa- tion, at which the situation was dis- | |cussed and a resolution adopted | !placing the association on record | agalnst such importation.
