HEIGHT DEPENDENT
ON THEIR LOCATION
Factories Won't Be Allowed on
Fifth Avenue Above Twenty
third Street.
Some of the more important featurea
of the new zone plans for building re
.strictions in the city were explained
yesterday by members of the Com?
mission on Building Districts and Re
strictions. One of the results of the
plans in Manhattan will be to exclude
factories, garages and loft buildings
for factory purposei generally above
Twenty-third Street, except near the
waterfront. In recent years loft fac?
tories particularly hafe heen creeping
into Fifth Avenue buildings and adja
cent sections as far aa Thirty-fourth
Street
Fnc*orie? and garages wil! bo per
mitted on the West Side waterfront as
far uptown as Seventieth Street, and
all the way up the East Side waterfront
in Manhattan. A garage, as deneribed
under the plan, refers to a large es
'.ablishment of that kind where at least
more than five cars are kept. It doea
not restrict the location of show rooma
in these districts.
In the other boroughs the waterfront
is unrestricted. On the lower East
Side most of the streets are restricted
against factories "and garages. There
are twenty blocks In this district re?
stricted entirely to resrdent.ial pur
poses.
Rcatrictions on Busineaa.
The residential districts throughout
the city will become more and more
restricted under the plans. In some
districts, such as Riverdale and parts
of Flatbush, for example, it was said
that the residents would eventually
have to wa!k more than a mile to the
neflrest drug atore. All kinds of busi?
ness have been excluded from these sec?
tions. and at the request of residents.
The character of the district* may
b* changed on application of a certai.i
per cent of the property owners in any
one district to the Board of Esfimate.
If *J0 per cent of the property owners
r.ppear before the board, it would tak"
that unanimous consent to change the
diatriet from residential to business. ur
vice versa. If .tO per eaat of thc prop?
erty owners appear the Board of E.sti

There was no stranger in the room -
only the men that was assigned there -

"What was in your mind," Mr. Joyce
persisted, "that you worried so?"
"The humiliation in the papers. And
I couldn't sleep; I was taking mes?

the truth clear as any man eould tell

The rest of his story was a repetition
of the praaaatlaaa he had taken that

board should be accurately transcribed

missioner Woods:
"Dc-t.-ctive Kennel was an honest,

calvary Chaplain Experiments
with Hymn Records.
Funeral music from a phonograph
has been used twice recently by Father
Lonergan, chaplain of Calvsry < eme
tery.
"For the very poor," said Father
Lonergan, "we used it for those who '
otherwise would have geen their loved
ones laid to rest without the consola
tion of a beautiful and appropriate
hymn.
"We did it as an experiment which
we will not repeat until it has received
the approval of the Church.

It would give the poor, they said, the

his mind. Me knew that he had told the
truth, but felt that he had failed in 'ho

testified falsely.
Tried to Cheer Him l'p.
"His brother officers tried to cheer

considered it unfair.
"They say they kept reassuring him,

different and the voice talkmg was that.
of an attorney for the other side. Me
understood all this, but could not seem
to get himself together again. This
morning, just before he shot himself,
he reported to Detective Watson that
he was worried to death over the thing.
"It was the case of a partieularly
faithful, .capabie policeman honestly
trying to do his work and broken heart
ed over what he thought was a failure
that might discredit him and his broth
?f officers."
When Lieutenant Wiliiam Kennel
was summoned to the hospital yester- .
day it was the first time he had seen
hifl brother in eight months despite the
fact that day after day they worked
within half a mile of each other.
Secret Kept Brother Away.
"Jack did not come to see me," he said,
"because of the secret nature of his
work and the fear that he might in ;
some way get me involved. lf he only
had come recently I might have g.ven
him a message from the Mayor which
araald have greatly allayed his worry
over this matter. The Mayor was back
of him, and declared that he had done
his plain duty, had made a good wit?
ness at the inquiry, but had not had a
fair test and would have another one."
Charles Kennel, son of the detective
sergeant, said that night after night
for weeks his father would awaken with
shouts that he was being hounded aBd ;
please to be let alone.
"About three months ago," said the
young man, "some one gave my father
a dozen nigeons. He always took care
of these himself and would get up early
in the morning and feed them. That,
was practically all he ever did to
amuse himself after he came home from
B hard day's work."
"Shocking," Says Farrell.
Father Wiiliam B. Farrell said last
night:
"This is shocking. It is unfortunate
that a human life should be saenflced
or even jeopardized so needlessly.
"The newg of Kennel's act io de
pressed me that I could r.ot stay st the
wire-tapping investlgation. I can't ap
preeiate why those responsible could al?

enmeshed in this dirty mess until be
