FILLED-IN SECTION OK LAND Frog Hollow Is a ftlled-ln section of land on tho north bank of the Hnrlem RUer, about flo blocks square, and tho center Is 149th street. It Is filled with tenement houses, but tho rcsldentH there Insist upon calling them apartment houseB Bo that as It may, these abodes aro filled with the families of hardworking Italian laborers, with here and there the offlces of nn Italian physician or dentist, whose fcoclal rating In the community Is cry high The streets are black with urchins, who know no other playground except the freight and engine yaids of tho New York, New Haen nnd Hudson lllvor ltallroad Some of the llttlo Frog Hollow boys can tell jou exactly how mnnv 'pr(rlp trains uhlzz bv each day.

NAMED FUOG HOLLOW 30 YUAIIS AGO The section was given Its peculiar name about thirty ycara ngo, when the Bronx was considered n suburb A large hollow cov eted with acres of marsh land was filled with Innumerable frogs. Farmers living In that Uclnlty became bo tired of the nightly concerts of the bullfrogs that they banded together and filled In the land Soon shanties nnd brick huts sprang up and nn element of the Bowery type took possession of tho land Humans formed a band, the solo purpose of which was to march Into somo peaceful community nnd practice vandalism They soon became the terror of residents for miles around. When the nlarm was spread that the Frog Hollow Musketeers were com ing the farmers took down their rifles and emulated the famous Minute Men Then n more lucrative Industry arose. A band of wlhte slaers was organized In one of these dles. A leader was appointed and he chose his chief lieutenants. They In turn recruited agents from among tho gun flghters and began a wholesale traffic In souls. Girls were lured to places In tho vicinity of 149th street and Morris avenue From there they were sent to arlous cities. Then, In 1914, a joint campaign to clean out tho BCttlement was organized by the police under tho leadership of Captain Andrew Wines and the Bronx County dctccfUcs under leadership of Francis Martin, tho present District Attorney. The leader of the gang is now serving a sentence of thirty years In Sing Sing; one of his lieutenants was given twenty years, and eight or ten others are patiently waiting for their ten year sentences to expire.

Mike ?iT JLkcpt n saloon op Third avenue nen. These men were formnlly Introduced i l po"ce a year ago, when a gang of which they aro said to have been members started a fight In a coffee houso conducted on 149th street near St. Ann's aenue by a man named Negbauer. Because he ob jected to men of nuch character patronizing V e ihey Btartcd t0 destroy It. The restaurateur fired a reoher at one of the ruffians and killed him Instantly. Ho was later arraigned before the Grand Jury, but because of tho dead man's criminal record the bill was Ignored. Negbauer sold his place, and then tho gang again began to frequent It. Such Is their reputation that eory time a detecthe passes the coffee house he looks in to see If any of the gang are around. If they are, he goes In and searches them for weapons. Those Musketeers on whose per sons revohers hae been found had ample opportunity while In prison to study tho New York laws against carrying concealed deadly weapons. That they profited by their legal knowl edge was borne out on tho aiui.imy morn ing before the raid on tho Flnlcttcr Club. At 1'30 n. in. Detective Flaschettl was passing the coffee house, when lie saw eighteen or twenty men gathered there. Falcone and the rest were among them. They were searched as usual, but no weapons wcro found on them. They later congregated In a saloon near 165th sttcet nnd Third aenue, According to the confession of Bed (alias "Whltey") Burkhart, that is where they met and started for Philadelphia Tuesday. The police Bay that these coffee-house pro prietors try to discourage such fellows from gathering In their place, but aro fearful of tho vengeance with which theso toughs threaten them.

VISIT TO "JIMMY TIH3 FLASH'S" HOME Let us take a little journey through the Bronx to sea the homes of theso gunmen. We, will leave tho Bronx County Jail, nt Tremont and Arthur avenues, and go to the address given by "Jimmy the Flash," Or Ilugglo Falcone, as his home. He gave 44: Hast 142d street as Ms address, and said that ho boarded there. The boarding mistress answers the knock on tho front door. "Well, what do ye want?" "Does 'Jimmy the Flash' live here?" "No, he ain't been here for eight months. Where Is he? I got a lot of letters ad dressed to Jimmy under the name of Jim Leo. If you see htm, tell him to come up and get them." Our next stopping place Is an apartment houso at 7G1 St. Ann's nenue. In tho vestibule we find a setles of pushbuttons with names of tenants over them. Wo search for tho name of Burkhart and find It. A touch of tho button Is answered In a few minutes by a tick-tack as the door is automatically released by some one up stairs.

Wo hastily say good-by, and ns. wo hasten from the room, we thrust a coin Into tho hand of the little girl who kept her company nnd who tried to comfort her.
