Unlike the wax- works at Coney Island, which pictures isuch civic events as the murder of !Arnold Rothsteln. this museum will depict the more serious and Important moments In the history of the munic ipality. The first scene will show Henry Hudson on the deck of the Half 'Moon, approaching the Island of Man hattan on his search for a route to the Indies. Other scenes will !how Peter Minult making hlse famous $24 deal with the Indians, and Washington’s Inauguration at Federal hall. Also pictured will be a draft riot in Union Square during the Civil war, and the waterfront In the days of clipper ships. No plans have been laid for picturing more modern events, but I, for one, vote for the Inclusion of a scene depicting the returning of Lind bergh from Paris. There was some thing that for sheer magnificence may never be duplicated. • • • Floating Hotel Several years ago an Imaginative reporter got himself and his newspa per Into all sorts of trouble with a highly colored story about n floating palace on Rum Row, where the elite of the fast set were enjoying gam bling and drinking orgies.
