Tompkins, accused of aolicit- ing money for political purposes trom employees of the municipal ferry in the ferry house at St, George, Staten Island, was arraigned before Magistrate Handy at New Brighton®to-day.

Tompkirs is one of the prominent Democrats of Richthond County, Unt recently he was, a disirict leader. Al- though the court room was crowded with: politicians at the tithe of his ar- ralgnment, none would discuss the case. Eugene’ Lamb Richards, the Tammany leader of Richmond, said he wanted to know more about the matter before he waid dnything. He refused to say whether or not Tompkins was collecting Qunds for the campaign committee of his organization. ARRESTED IN TRAP SET BY DE. TECTIVES AT FERRYHOUSE. Tompkins was arrested at 4.90 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the ferry house et Bt. George. Marked money is alleged to have figured in the transaction, The charge was made by Ralph Mazarro and Wiliam Albins, both of No. 238 William fect, Manhattan, and sald to be de- fettives in the employ of the Civil Ser jee Reform Association, Tompkins was taken before Lieut. D'Nell at the Stapleton police station ‘Arid was released on $500 ball. He sald to- Gay that his business in the ferry house ‘was to take orders from the employees for clothing, but that he had promised the Finance Committee of the Demo- cratic organization that he would re+ ceive campaign contributions made vol- untarily by ferry employees. “Two men came to me, nd said. they were & ticket seller and a taker, respectively, on the munict- Pal ferry. Thoy wanted to ntake con- tributions to the campaign fund. I told them it must be understood that the contributions were voluntary, and one of them, who said he had four children and could afford only $3, I advised to make no contribution at all. The other offered %. I told them if they wanted to make the contributions I would take them. They said they would be pack with the money a little later, They came back and gave me the money, which was marked, and immediately called over Detective Sergt. Graham, who arrested me. I never heard of the Jaw against taking political contribu- tions in a public building. For the past ten days or two weeks there have been rumors of collections from engineers, firemen and deck hands employed on the Municipal Ferries, It was rumord further that men employed about the ferry housec were made to ubscribe to the Democratic campaign fund, & ss loner.

MAKE HOMES FOLLOW FAC- TORIES TO THE SUBURBS. All boroughs of the Greater City shared this week in the new industrial move- ment. The Bronx was prominent in !ts Hunts Point section, Sites were bought also in Queens, Richmond and at sev- eral points in New Jersey. All of them will be improved fur firms from Man- hattan. The result will be an outflow of several thousand people from crowded factory plants. Philanthropic and sociological societies are aiding the movement. They matn- tain that the best way to get the masses out of congested sections is by first moving their places of employment. Tens of thousands live close to the lower east side sweatshops in order to Save catfare between homes and busl- nes: Such congestion 1s growing worse because most of the workers are of the immigrant class, They lke to crowd together. They are increasing rapidly in numbers, ‘The voting registrations prove that Manhattan, as a result of thelr coming, is depending mainly upon them to keep {ts population volume at high fi, § because the older famill are moving to suburban homes.

Greenhut, Presideat, Gree 1hu:-Siegel Cooper Ce., New York, N. Y. My Dear Mr. Greenbut:— . You know that for many years I have been an active worker in charity, giving much time and deliberation to the problem, which has become a vexing one and demands not only the most liberal giving, but the wisest thoughe, Your plan for the distribution of $30,000 to be allotted in different amounts to various charities by the assistance and guidance of your patrons is, to my mind, the most important as well as practical forward step io meeting the ever-increasing demands for contributions to charity, That crarity often covers a multitude of sins, we know too well—aad which charity is genuine and really deserving is often a serious questicn, requiring time for investigation, Very often solicitors for charity get a big commission— your plan, which J would like all tusiiess bovses to follow, which gives while It gathers, is more likely to plece your gifts where they will do the largest amount of good to the greatest number and {n addition the plan of which you are the pioneer, if generally ecopted, would do away with the begging by tickets, by persons, and by countless schemes which not only pester busy men, whose time is money, but weary and worry the kindly disposed in finding ways and means to get for themselves that happiness which consists in making others happy. Believing that one hand open in charity is worth one hundred folded in prayer, I send these words of enthusi- estic commerdation, Knowing you well enough to appreciate your belief that once fairly living, every man should think about giving, 1 cheerfully commend your plan and hope to make it a theme of a sermon. | would like your plan to become so general that the rich would bear the burdens of the poor, To-day the benefits of the big business stick to the fingers of the benefited, Your proposition, to which I find upon investigation there is no string attached, enables the poor 2s well as the rich to give something in cherity, and that without money, e I noted yesterday that upwards of six hundred charities are being voted on, representing all races and relie gions, covering almost every conceivable case of need and suffering. Your woman in charge of the voting booth informed me, much to my surprise, that many of your customers {ail to avail themselves of the privilege of voting Away your generous gifts to a charity in which they might be interested, if the matter were properly brought to ing my pulse beats, Ellys was clean-/ which you fortunately emerged as white | S¥2urbs has been running more to the| ing his dull eyeglasses with the tall of ;as snow, is thoroughly: stirred by the Small-cash basis, slat dwellers have his coat, and Mr, Craggs, with his keen, |one which succeeded it at the interval n seeking houses that could be bought shrewd little eyes, was siniling at me|of a month.
