OLIVER STREET 1§ NOW WELL KNOWN Gomes Info Its Own as Smith Birthplace New York, Aug. 11 (A—As the birthplace and home of a candidate for president of the United States— Oliver street, dirty, crowded, sticky | with people—is getting its place in the sun, Within a radius of three blocks in all directions of the crumbleg pile of bricks that at one time was the house in which Governor Alfred E. S8mith was born, residents know the “Guvnor,” know that he is run- ning for president, and probably direct the curious to the highlights of the Smith youthful invironment. Women wearing jenny models, men wearing expensively tailored sults step out of limousines and taxicabs and meekly ask to be shown the house where Al Smith was born. Asked for information, women wearing calico dresses sagging over shapeless work-worn bodies and men whose clothes defy all classi- fication, except that of covering them, direct the tourists first to 26 Oliver street as the place that was Smith’'s home in his early married life and then to the razed structure on South street where he was born. “What's Going On?’ “Say what's going on dowa there at Oliver street,” asked one of New York's finest as he swung the Bowery traffic about him. “What's everybody going down there for? You're about the eighth person who's asked me that this morning. Bome swell looking women went down there, too. Think I'll hava to investigat: and one of a pair of very blue eyes winked confidential- Iy. Down Dowery way ent to Olive the elevated-darkened eight blocks from the sub- o wends the pilgrimage reet, which swings wn- Sewiow¥ O at Chatam Square. The first block of it is wide, clean, and there five doors from the ele- vated is Oliver strect, A black hearse hefore the little narrow stone steps that lead to an entrance that 18 squeczed between dozens of similar entrances along the strect fulfills the large under- taker's sign in the window. “Yeah,” voluntecrs what must be an undertaker's approftice. “Go- ernor Smith kept this place right up until thre jears ago, even though he w in Albany. And he still comes here and visits a lot. Everybody Kgows Him “Sure everybody around There knows him. And lois of people who don’t live around here, too, T guess. They're always bothering us. Folks from way uptown.” From the former Smith home Oliver street leads into the KEast river at South streef, in the shadow of the lacework of Brooklyn bridge. Its three blocks become narrow, with kittens scraping in the gutters, babies rolling over one another, and vendors of everything from hot boiled corn on the cob to suspen- ders, At the intersection of South atreet where little, “Al" played as a young- ster and where he had his first busi- ness experience as a newsboy, every- body knows where to direct visitors. A black-haired, bluck-eyed fat lit- tle woman sitting on the only porch the neighborhood boasts pointed out the house that has been torn down. “That's what everybody wants to #ee all right, it's a shame they had to go and tear it down, just when we all had & reason for showing it off,” she complained. “President? I don’t know wheth- er he will be or not. You see, peo- ple have to vote first. You know how it goes? They vote and then there is another president. Of course labor has got a lot to say about it I guess,” she sagely conciuded. “He's a good fellow. He comea down here a lot. And he always brings somcthing you know,” sald the guide. “Yeah—candy,” supplemented a ten year old who was clinging to the gulde's skirt. The four blocks of Oliver strect and the turn around the corner to the house a block away on South street are crowded with humanity, humanity that is proud of its mem- ber who has gained fame, and hu- manity that is eager to show oft ny neighborhood and to bask a bit m the reflection of having known Smith “way back when.” New Air Mail Stamps Received in New Britain The New Britain post office this morning received its first consign- ment of the new five cent air mail stamps, covering the new rate of five cents for each ounce or fraction thereof. The stamps are of a con- servative design, ranging from pale pink to a deep red. They are print- d on two kinds of paper, one a bin- ish white and one a pink white. This fact is proving of great inter- est to collectors. The design shows an airplane bea- eon on the shores of the ~cean with a plane flying past. Two ornamentat figures fill the upper corners, while the figure five in circles is found in the lower corner. The words air mail are printed across the top of the picture which forms the center | panels of the stamp, while the words “Five Cents” form a strip on the bottom. The design is unusually pretty but conservative and not rpectacular. Charges Suit Was Backed by “Moneyed” Uvalde, Tex., 11 (#—Congressman John N.

CAUSES DEATHS Quarrel Started in Ozark Moun- | fains, Paper Hears CROP OUTLO0K BEPORTED AS 00D New High Record in Poaty Production Anticipated Boston, Aug. 11 P—A new high record in the production of potatoes is indicated for this year, dccording to the New England crop reporting service, which yesterday estimated the present production at 453,737, 000 bushels. This would be 52,963, 000 bushels greater than the total of 406,964,000 bushels harvested last year. Improved growing conditions in July are given as the reason for the increase. The New England crop s estimat- ed at 47,055,000 bushels, compared with 45,598,000 bushels harvested last year and 47,240,000 the five- year average from 1928 to 1927. This moderate yield forecast for New England reflects the probable bad eftect of the rains of the last three months rather than the appearance of the crop at present. The Maine crop is estimated at 58,000 bushels, leading the country. Last year the Maine harvest was 37,288 bushels. The prospect for the country's ap- ple crop remains little changed from a month ago and the estimated ag- gregate production is 33,277,000 barrels. The total last year was 900,000 barrels and the five-year average from 1923 to 1927 i 32,442, 800 barrels, The apple prospect for New Eng- land declined sharply during July and is now estimated at 1,661,000 barrels compared with 1,635,000 barrels last year and 1,922,400 bar- rels tht five-year average, Peaches are & bumper erop and only slightly short of the record crop of 1926, BOND TRADING I VERY SLOW TODAY Market Barely Kept Moving— Interest Lacking New York, Aug. 11 UP—Trading on the bond market was barely kept moving today, as traders’ interest was lacking in the face of the high money rates.
