FINE MODERN QUARTERS FOR "THE SUN" AFTER FORMAL RECOGNITION OF CARRANZA NEAR FINDS ONLY ONE CITY COURT VACANCY HERE Justice Dolany Hands Down Decision and Issues Election Mandamus.

A' FTEIl an occupancy of almost nny years Tim Hun, Tiik Sunday Sun una Tub Kvinino Sun are about to uult the lltilo nM red brick building that Htund.1 at the corner of Nassuu and Frankfort streets, for moro commodious quarters In a larger and more modem structure, lly the terms of a lease signed last week the three papers will become the principal tenant ot the structuru at the south east corner of Nassau and Sprucoi sireois, one mock south of the present Sun UulMIng, forirurly known us the American Tract Hulldlnjr, but more recently as the ICO Xnssnu Street Ilulld-Ins. tn that structure Tub Sun, The Sun-cat Sun and Tiik Kvi.ni.vo Sun will occupy seven Moors, each having an approximate of 9,300 snuaro feet, or about double the spaco now occupied uy mo inreo publications, whose recent growth has made their present tjuar-tors entirely Inadequate.

Possession of tho new (luartcrs will be taken before the first of next year, but meanwhllo' rxtonstvu alterations uro to bo mado to tho bulldlnc which not only will mnko It thoroiiKhly modern but will as well change It materially In thoso parta winch tub rUN will occupy. Tlv) nelectlon of the 150 Nassau Street nutldlng as tho future home of Tiib Sr-N ends search of more than two years for quarters which would be adequato as to area and light and 1 prc-perly adapted to the making and distributing of a newspaper. The requirements of The Sun, The Sunday Sun and Tub Eveninc- Sun were such as to make selection of a new location difficult among buildings already standing. Many offers were mart to erect new structures for Tub Sun, but It was found that rractlcally every available location was Improved already with a building which could neither be altered nor rebuilt weeept at too great expense. It the especial desire of The Sun to remain within a short distance of the place It has occupied for so many years, one of the busiest and most travelled spots In the world, and for that reason tha ISO Nassau Btreet Building has always held superior attractions.

Under the tertna of the lease Just oloaed Thi Bow win probably remain downtown for twenty-one years. The 1 la waa made with the New York Life Insurance Company aa mortgage owner, five Amertcun Tract Society as owner of to fee of the property being a party to the contract. The seven floors which Tub Bun, Tiir 8wwi Btrw and The Evening Sun will occupy Include the cellar, a apace 100x96 feet and 18 feet high, which will be used a preaa room; the basement of equal area, all but a small portion of which will be used for deliveries, and five floors i above the street floor, which will be used for editorial rooms, composing room, library and all other departments. With frontage on two streets and low buildings adjoining on Spruco street, the new quarters will have light and ventilation from three sldeti. Alterations to bo made also will add materially to the attractiveness of the new ofllcos.

The building at 1C0 Nasxau street la a twenty story structure erected about fifteen years ago by the American Tract Society, at a cost of $3,000,000, the 1 value of tho land being Included. Land and building value are about evenly divided. The society has had Its prln- uipiu oiucoa in wie uuiiuuiK "ui win now relinquish that spaco and will occupy other quarters which havo been taken under lease. As the building tttands to-day, It consist of two large wings separated by a wide court running 'through the centre of tho plot. One wing occupies the Nassau street frontage and the other easterly end of the plot, They are Joined on the Spruce street side.

Plana for the alterations, prepared by Walter B. Timmls, call for the extension of the five floors above the street which The Bun will occupy across the court, so that these Ave flours will have no court, but will cover tho entire area of tho building plot, space fronting 100 feet on Nassau street and 9G feet on 8pruce street. All partitions and Inside walls will bo removed from these floors and gla pactions nTv "Kh may ne nan on every noor. 'ine next moat radical change will havo to do with the elevator system.

The Sun will have ofllces as nearly Ideal as such ofllces can be inudo In a building not especially planned for publishing purposes.

It will have, as It has had for nearly fifty years, an oullools on City ea, but to make It Hall Park, and It will border still the pathway ot the hundreds of thousands of people who dally pass to and from huslmss by way of the Brooklyn Hrldge, As regards location and convcnleni.es Tub Sun will bo In tho same position hereafter as It la now, but the btnellts to be had from the larger and more modern building will be many. Such has been tho recent growth of Tub Sun, The Sunpat Sun and The Kvknino Sun that present facllltlos aro tnxed to the utmost. In tho new building there will br space for addltlonul presses, a larger composing room and larger space In which to handle the rapidly growing editions of all throe papers. In a structure of tho size of tho ntw Sun Hulldtng, as 150 Nassau street will be known hereafter, double the space occupied In the present Sun Itulld-Ing will be ustd at once, while plenty more space Is available as the growth of the publications makes its use necessary.

This property has a most Interesting history aslilo from having been the home of Tiik Sun for almost fifty years. It Is first mentioned tn thu records of the city In tho volutno of 1789, when James Myers nnd his wife transferred the Nassau Btreet frontage of 57 feet and 28.S feet on Frankfort street to William Martin for 300.

Nassau street was then known as Broadway or Highway. The plot was then part of fe farm extending over to the Kast ftlver. Seven years later Martin re-convoyed the proporty to John Dixon for 450. Dixon made a good turn on tho land, for In the samo year. 1796, he resold to Andrew Ogden for $3,750.

The rear 29 feet of Tub Sun plot on Frankfort street was sold In 1800 for $1,100, the buyer having been Jacob Tyler, and In tho following year Ogden, who had paid $3,750 for tho corner, took a loss of $250 on It having sold It to Isaac Jones for $3,500. Jones evidently thought the property had a fine future, for ho held It nine yen, selling It at thn end of that tlmi to the Society of Tammany or Columbian Order In the City of New York for $10,050. At the same time the society paid Tyler prollt of $2,850 on thn Frankfort street lot, for which ho had paid $1,100, Tho two plots were then combined In tho site of the first Improvement of any account on the property. That building Is the present Building. Originally It had four Hours, and except for the addition of another story, It stands to-day practically as It was when It wao the first Tnmmanv mil, Tammany sold the plot and building to the Rvenlni? T.I..

graph Association In April, 1887, for $150,000, and since then the building has been uid for publishing und print Ing The Sun. As the first Tammany Hall the Sun ORIGINALLY HOME OF TAMMANY SOCIETY Present Building to Be Re modelled for Business Purposes. Building won among the finest and largest structures of Its time. That pari of tho building not used by Tammany was given over to hotel purposes, and though It Is not recorded that the hotoi was a strong rival of Its neighbor, the Aator House, It probably knew many of the Uadlng politicians, ofllce holders and law makers of tho day, for Tammany nan was men, even as it la now, a gathering placo for such men. Tarn many was at that time one of the principal political organizations, and It guarded Its power ao Jealously that every precaution was takon to prevtnt the springing up of a rival.

So when the property was sold to The Sun provision was made In the deed that the society should havo the use of one-halt the third floor of the building for rental not to exceed $1,000 a year. It aleo contracted that no political assent bly or association should be taken as a tenant of the building or permitted to use the property for a meeting plact In lean than Ave years, and It claimed thn privilege of removing the corner stone from the building within live years from the date of sale. This stone was taken away and Is now to be found In Tammany Hall on Fourteenth street. The space reserved on the third floor was a taproom, where the aotlvltles of the society were planned and orders of the sachems mado known to Tammany henchmen. Lelsler's rebellion had Its climax In 1691 on the site of theun Building when Leister was ranged on a scaffold erected on tho corner and was burled at once at the scaffold's foot.

After his unfortunate attempt to maintain peace In tho co.ony during the troub.esome times preceding William and Mary's reign In England, Letsler was tried for high treason and murder and was found guilty. Governor Sloughtor refused to sign the death warrant, until one night, so the story goos, whllo tho Governor was In his cups enemies of Ielsler pre vailed upon him to add his signature to the death warrant. The execution woe held within a few minutes aftur the signing. lyelsler's body lay for seven years In Its hurriedly mado grave. Then by consent of the authorities It was removed At midnight 100 soldiers surrounded tho spot, and as a terrlflu storm raged tho body was exhumed to be Dome to tno City Hall followed by 1,200 people bear ing torches.

There it lay in mate, to oe burled later with great honor. CITY FARM FOR DRUG USERS. nrpnrtmrnt Itend Hae Plan to Relieve Crnrriled Hospital. The Board of Kstlmate and Apportion ment will bo aeki-d by a committee con. slsttng of acting Mayor McAneny.

By this aci me united males will seal the last chapter of Its controversy with Mexico. The fact that the President Is contemplating early recognition of the new Government was Indicated strongly to-day, when In talking with callers he took occasion to deny emphatlcntly the reports being circulated to the effect that Villa and Carrnnza were at odds and that the former was preparing to start a new revolt. In view of the President's attitude It la assumed that orders soon will given through the War and Navy departments fir the withdrawal of the United States land and sa forces from Vera Crus. This, It Is thought, will be followed by the naming of a new United States Ambassador to Mexico to nil the vacancy existing since lost summer, when Henry tane Wilson was recalled. It It understood that the President has mads up hi mind to nsme laul of New York um Ambaessdor, Mr Fuller has recently Teen In Mexico as agent for the Htate Desa-t-mem conferring with the Constitutionalist authorities.
