FIFTH AVENUE LOSES EXCLUSIVE AIR WITH ADVANCE OF TRADE (Tlv Associated Pres) NEW YORtf, Feb. 9. Stealthy, but steady, advances by tradesmen, covering a period of more than 20 years, have virtually broken the residential collusiveness of Fifth Avenue, known the world over a3 the home precinct of Uie Vanderbilts, Carnegies, Harrtmans, Plants. Fricks and other wealthy families of New York. One by one mansions which housed inlernational personages and save to fifth Avenue much of its glitter and

fjme, are surrendering to commercial enterprise and the rich are seeking homes in new "exclusive" parts of the city. Real estate men, who have watched with interest this aggression of trade, say that another decade will have wiped out the last bit of residential exclusiveness In the avenue. Means Change in City. The change in Fifth Avenue was refected in the recent purchase of property bordering the East River at Fifty-Eighth street by Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, Sr., where she intends to build a home in a section known as Sutton Square. This bit of property is directly across from Blackwell's Island, where a city prison is located and is almost underneath the Manhattan approach to the Queensboro Bridge. Real estate men expect that Mrs. Vanderbilfs migration to the East River will mean a new exclusive district iri a part of the city where near slums existed before. Mrs. Vanderbilt, who a few years back, helped to make Fifth Avenue history with her brilliant social activities, said when she purchased the East River property that Fifth Avenue had "lost Its residential atmosphere, which was its most valuable charm." Traffic and crowds, resulting from the trade invasion, she said, had taken away its exclusiveness. The fight to "save" Fifth Avenue, has been waged since the late 90's when real estate men began to get options on property near the magnificent, mansions. Members of the Vanderbilt family and others owning homes there expended millions of dollars in buying lip property in an effort to stem the tide. Advance Was Gradual. Mych of this property was purchased pt exorbitant figures and after a lapse of years has fallen back for business upe, hotels, banking houses, jewelry stores, millinery and fine tailoring esiablishments have gradually crept northward along the thoroughfare. The home which Mrs. Vanderbilt Is foresaking, at Fifth Avenue and FiftySecond Street, will become the site of a trust company. Its sale was made possible as the result of the death of .Mr. Vanderbilt in Paris, when the house owned by his estate, was sold to I he highest bidder. The first actual treak in the Vanderbilt holdings came when General Cornelius Vanderbilt it!,fri his home at Fifth Avenue and fifty-Fourth street to a shoe firm. The residence of the late Henry C. Flick, steel masmate, xv ill eventually go to the city for use as a museum.

BUYS HOME IN EATON, FINDS HUMAN ASHES EATON, O., Feb. 9. For three years a family occupied a house here that sheltered the ashes of a cremated woman and they did not know it. It fell today to the lot of Mrs. Carl Keys, who recently purchased the

property, to make the gruesome discovery. Miss Ella Miller, high school teacher here, died rather suddenly in 1907, and her mother, Mrs. Martha Miller, aged and eccentric, had the body cremated. The ashes were returned in a sealed receptacle, and properly marked, but instead of having the ashes buried, Mrs. Miller secreted them in an old wall-cupboard and told no one of their presence. She died in 1917, after which a family of the name of Brownlett occupied the house until Mrs. Keys bought, (he property, but they never discovered the receptacle. Mrs. Keys made the gruesome find while renovating the old cupboard, preparatory to moving into the house. She and her husband came to Eaton some time ago from Kentucky. Relatives of the late Miller women are being sought in order that proper disposition of the ashes may be made.

snowballs scattered over his farm. On the 20-acre field there were hundreds of them ranging in size from six to 18 inches in diameter. Leading up to each snowball was a streak of bare ground showing the distance it had traveled in forming. Mr. Finigin and neighbors who gathered to study the odd spectacle decided that the wind which had blown

a gale the night before had whipped up small particles of "good packing" snow and started them down the field, some of the particles gathering up additional snow until balls had been formed that were too heavy for the wind to move further. All the paths of the snowballs were in the same

general direction that the wind had been blowing. To record the unusual freak of wind and snow, Mr. Finigin sent for the correspondent of a Buffalo newspaper who counted more than 1,000 snowballs of more than 10 inches in diameter.

Athletic Director at Denison Sends

Apology to Miami OXFORD, O., Feb. 9. George E.i Little, director of athletics at Miami university, has received letters from j Graduate Manager Theodore Johnson; and Coach Livingston, of Denison uni-j . I . - - l : -: r . '

cently sent out from Granville to a

Columbus newspaper in which Miami ! was slurringly referred to as a school I which allowed society functions toj come before athletics. The statement j grew out of the fact that Miami's bas-; ketball game with Denison, which was tentatively scheduled for Jan. 29, had . to be called off because Miami's examinations were moved forward one; week, and not because the annual junior prom happened to come on the night of Jan. 29. j Coach Livingston in his letter says I

he deeply deplores the publication of such a false story; that a great injustice has been done Miami, which he considers one of the best schools in the state. Livingston says the story was sent out by "a rattle-brained" student who knew nothing whatever of the situation. In future, he says, such embarrassing statements will not get into print, for he has arranged to have all athletic stories for newspapers approved by the athletic department of Denison before they are sent out.

Mr. Johnson also expressed regret! that such an insinuating story should

, have gained prominence through the

press. He calls attention to the ex- j treme cordiality which always has ex-;

isted between Denison and Miami, and hopes that these relations will not become strained on account of the error of one irresponsible student.
