New Year Boom Basks New York in Million-Dollar Revelry
New York on January 2 reports a New Year's Eve windfall of over half a million dollars as amusements and restaurants draw lavish crowds. Across Manhattan thrill seekers crowded gilded lobster palors in the Tenderloin, filled venues, and foot traffic clogged streets as the city entered 1909 amid widespread prosperity. Meanwhile Italians in Little Italy rally relief for Sicily earthquake victims, with Red Cross and Audubon society drives mobilizing funds and bird-food campaigns. Rumors of Tom Ryan retirement swirl, but insiders doubt the exaggerations as the financier remains central to New York’s wealth.
