New York Letter on curfew law and city life
New York dispatch reports Captain Dooley's curfew in the Tenderloin drew few supporters as merchants and clergy clash over enforcement. It notes Rev. Schwiningen certifying parishioners, magistrates releasing detainees, rising hotel theft losses, and a booming Hamburg-America liner voyage. The piece also covers a nascent all-wemale New York law firm, Col. Jim Curtin’s Bowery roots, and local political contest from Jerome to Shearn with shifting alliances.
