Down along the northern fringe of the gas house district went the auto- mobile to Avenue A. This thoroughfare was traversed for two blocks south. and| then Twenty-first street was gone over back to Third avenue, Not a policeman was in sight. Nor was there a policeman on post in Third avenue between Twenty-first and Nineteenth streets. At Nineteenth street and Second avenue the automobile was turned north to pass the Anawanda Club, which {s at the northwest corner ef Becond avenue and Twentieth street, the Invectigators figuring that inasmuch as Charles F.

A detour was made for a second inspection of the outside of the home ot \Charies F, Murphy, at No, 95 East Seventeenth street, which had been pass:d on the trip west, but no policeman was in sight. Apparently the quiet Stuyvesent square neighborhood {s considered sufficient guarantee for the safety of Mr. Murphy's home, although a policeman jealously guards the Anawanda Club lamppost. ‘The first policeman found doing real patrol duty was trudging alo: some stretch of Avenue C, near Sixteenth street. Another policeman, dotng Jonely patrol duty, was made out in First avenue, between Thirteenth and Four- teenth streets. On the north side of Fourteenth street a policeman was seen standing like a statue with his gaze concentrated on an upper window in a flat- house opposite.

ONE SOLITARY POLICEMAN FOUND IN “HELL’S KITCHEN.” Astonishing Lack of Protection Discovered in This Notorious District, One of the Most Dangerous in Town. The Evening World's automobile that visited “Hell's Kitchen” and its en- vironments early thia morning, looking for policemen, met with poor success. | e themae could be found, Patrolling on Thirty-ninth street, near Tenth avenue. In the streets to the north and south of this dangerous locality four more policemen were dis- covered. The “Kitchen” was asleep, except for a little domestic row that was in progress as the auto passed. But no policeman was needed for that. In f the inhabitants of “Hell's Kitchen” do not care for policemen anyhow, Jocality loves to settle its own troubles in its own way. ‘The Evening World's observation car entered the district from the north, At The they sprang to positions of Portyreecond strest and Tenth avenue « policeman was seen He had just got West Third street and the thou WO POLICEMEN SEEN IN DRY-GOODS DISTRICT Extraordinary Vigilance Necessary There | at Night on Account of the Danger from Fire, but Duty Shown to Be Ignored.
