ETTER FROM SIMS ON NAVY STOLEN, SAYS LEIGHTON Other Published Correspond- ence Also Taken From Case, He Declares. John L. Leighton of No. 105 East 58d Street last night gave out a state. pent concerning a letter from Rear imiral Sims to him, which is print- d on the front page of the New York merican to-day, and concerning the pther letters, both addressed to him nd written by him to others, which e printed on other pages of the same baper. His statement follows: “Commencing Jan. 16, I took a trip m New York to the Const and re- lurn to find out the attitude of the ountry toward the Navy. I inter- d many prominent men and most the leading editors in the larger Hes I visited. “On the Coast some personal cor- pondence with friends as regards trip was stolen from my despatch . ‘These appear on the front page pthe New York American this morn- ‘he principal purpose of my trip, Inside. theArcade IsWell Worth oo. a Visit | The Fifth Avenue Arcade f, in the new Heckscher } Building between 57th and 56th Streets has been built in most attractive fashion and with rather unusual surroundings for the conyenience of the public shopping on the Avenue. Not only will it be lined with attrac’ stores on either side; but it will enable shoppers because of the large frontage and the three entrances to the building to leave their cars at almost any point of entrance and meet them again in either street or on the Avenue. Very often it will hap- pen that there is some congestion on 57th Street or some delay in crossing. The cars in that event can meet shoppers again on 56th Street, or if they descend at 56th Street they can be met at the 57th Street entrance or on the Avenue. Shoppers are urged to visit the Arcade and to incidentally inspect the unusually attractive en- trance on Fifth Avenue. Arcade Shops—$2,000 and up.
