IEL Practical Plan to Improve Conditions of Men with Moderate Salaries. TO OPEN IN JANUARY Good Homes for New York Toilers Can Be Bought on Easy Payments. (American New Kervlce) New York. Dec. 12. One of the most practical plain ever devised for ttie betterment of the living condition of the person, who la compelled to live on a moderate salary, will go Into effect ahortly after the first of the year when the Hugo Model Suburb at Forest Hills Garden, IonR Inland, will be thrown open to settlement. Here the man with a Urge family and a modest salary will be able to purchase a home by easy monthly payments. Those persona unmarried who are seeking romfort away from the crowded city, will And comfortable quarters in neHally designed apartments at reasonable rates. This new scheme Is but a part of the great practical philanthropic work that la being carried on by Mrs. Russell Hage with the enormous fortune amassed by her late husband. The work is being attended to by the Bage Foundation Homes company, a branch of the Russell Sage Foundation. That no person, who desires to take up his residence In the model suburb will In any way be considered an object of charity, is made clear by tho trustees, who say that the scheme Is strictly a business Investment, and Is not to be considered as being even remotely related to charity. The Payment Plan. When a person wishes to buy one of the houses, a small Initial payment! will be required, and the remainder of -the payments will be arranged for on I scale running from $25 a month up-j ward. Those who do not want to buy no of the houses built by the company, lots in the model suburb will be sold under restrictions as will bind the purchaser to erect a home in keep ing with the other houses In the vll-i lane. . The site of this model suburb is located about nine miles from New York and Is laid out on a tract of 142 acres. The proposed suburb will be similar In design to the English types of garden cities, with detached one and two story houses, parking and an abundance of trees. . One distinct departure from the usual suburban development found In the plans of Forest Hills Gardens Is that three sides of the square which will suround the railroad station are to be built up with apartment houses not furnished with kitchens. These non-housekeeping apartments will be rented out by single rooms or in suites of two, or as many more as arc desired, to tenants who do not desire to rent or buy houses In tho model suburb. Has "Village Green." "We designed these buildings," said Edward H. Douton. the vice president and general manager of the suburban company, "for the use of self supportlng m?n and women who under ordinary conditions in the city are forced to I'.ve In boarding bouses and hall bee" rooms, and for families who for ! one reason or another do not wont to keep house. There will be a restaurant on the ground floor of one of these three buildings which will open into garden, and the garden will border on the village green!" This "village green" will be another -distinctive feature of the new model suburb, around which It Is hoped tho village activities will center. The non-housekeeping apartments will be connected with each other and with the railroad station with covered bidges. so that the commuter in this model suburb will be able to go direct from bis apartment to bis train without any such inconvenience as the comic weekly dash over the muddy suburban roads. A tall tower has been planned as an added architectural feature of the apartment bouses which will surround the station square. i' The Sage Foundation has already appropriated $1,250,000 for the development of the suburb, apart from the land purchase on which , there was close to $1,000,000 spent. Besides this another $500,000 will be appropriated for additional street development. About fifteen hundred houses will bo built In the completed suburb, and as far as possible, the company is planting to. sell the homes only to persons who expect to live in thera; that is to My speculators will not be welcomed r.nd character, as well as reasonable financial responsibility will be Investi gated before sales are made. A Business Venture. Alt hot' gh. according to tlie trustees the vcr-ture is a business one. It tUo baa a distinct educational purpose-. Ii discussing tV side or It, Robert De Forest, vice president of the Russell Bage Foundations: "Mrs. Russell Sage and those whom she has associated with her in the Foundation have been profouudly impressed with the need of better and more attractive bousing facilities In tho suburbs for persona of modest means who could pay from $25 a month upward. In tho purchase of a borne. . They have thought that homes could be supplied like those in the garden cities ot England, with some greenery . and flowers around them. . with accessible playgrounds and recreation facilities, and at no appreciable creator cost than la now paid for

They have thought, too, that buildings of tasteful design, constructed of brick, cement or other permanent material, even though of somewhat greater initial cost, were really more economical In their durability and lesser repair bills than the repulsive, cheaply built structures which are too often the type of New York's outlying districts." Expect Four Results. If these expectations can be realized, Mr. De Forest continued, tho new Buburb will accomplish four results at which the trustees are specially aiming. It will provide more healthful and more attractive homes to many persons; it will demonstrate that more tasteful surroundings and open spaces pay In suburban development, and thereby encourages more economical methods of marketing land, and It will secure an attractive income for the Sage Foundation. As to why the first housing plan of the Foundation neglected to provide for the laboring man, Mr. De Forest caid that the cost of land at Forest Hills Gardens and the character of its surroundings precluded provision for the day laborer. "The Sage Foundation has not forgotten the laboring man, however," said the trustee, "and It may be ready to announce something for his benefit later on." Mr. De Forest Is president of tho Sage Home Foundation company and associated are Edward II. Bouton vice president and general manager; John M. Glenn, secretary, and Cleveland II. Dodge, treasurer. Frederic Laio Olmsted attended to the landscape deslngnlng, while Grosvenor Atterburn was the architect of the buildings. ASSAULTS SALESMAN Negro Hack Driver Is Under Arrest. Israel Rubinstein, a Jewish salesman, was subjected to a brutal attack by James Moore, a negro hackman, driving for Herbert Green. The assault took place In the Westcott hotel. Rubinstein hired the negro to take him and some luggage to the hotel from the Pennsylvania station. According to the salesman the price demanded was 50 cents. When Rubinstein started to leave the bus the negro grabbed him and rtinnnnilitil annthflp mmrtoi- T?,,H1n- ! stein refused to pay and Moore hit him on the jaw. Then the transfer man crabbed Rubinstein's grip and left. He was later-arrested by Patrol man Vogelsong. An affidavit charging him with assault and battery was filed. Another will probably befiled' charging larceny. Green claims he ' will file one against the salesman for! provoke. v WILL CONTEST FOR BROTHER'S ESTATE (American New Service) Lafayette, Ind., Dec. 12.Harry Fersuson arrived here today from New Albany to contest the legality of the marriage of his brother.
