SCOTT BOWNK, 409 Pearl Street, New York. B.R.T. CO. PLANT TO BE Immense Improvements Now Being Rushed to Completion to Better Seivice in Brooklyn. P0WERT0 BE VASTLY INCREASED Hundreds of New Cars Ordered and More and Faster Trains for Lines to Be Provided.

J. F. Cnlderwood, assistant president of Ihe Brooklyn llupld Transit Company, and Dow S. Smith, general mnnager, accompanied by a party of newspaper men, yesterday paid a visit to tho different points on the company's system where improvements are In progress, which are expected to result In a betterment of tho Bervlce all over tho borough. An Interesting half hour was spent at the power station, at Third avenue and Third street, where tho company Is Installing eight new engines or units, the total capacity of which will be 4S.0O0 horse power, The electricity from this station Is furnished by on engine of 7,000 horse power, which Is entirely Inadequate for the company's needs.

Three of the eight now en Klnes to be installed In the Third avenua power station have been put In place and one of them Is already supplying a small quantity of power. Two of the engines will bo In complete working order In about month and tho third will be ready for use shortly afterward. Work hos been begun on another engine and is being pushed ai rapidly as possible, and It Is expected that It will bo ready for use next summer. When the eight engines aro completed the company will bo well equipped In the matted of motive power nt least. Adjoining tho Third avenue station Is 9 plot, now occupied by a stone yard, which.

as told In tho Kagle a week ago, tne urooa-lyn llupld Transit Company has purchased and on which on immense coal storage plant is to be erected, which, according to the officials of the company, will materially add to Its resources. This plant is to have a consuming rapacity of 800 tons of coal a day. The officials of the company say It 13 to be one of the Inrgest and best appointed cool storage plants In the country. 1'lans for the plant have been drawn ond work 00 Ihe building will be begun as soon as they have been approved and Itii contracts bavs been let. The construction of this pli'nt and also ol the addition to the Kent avenue power ota-tlon, the site lor which ha3 'been purchased also will probably be begun simultaneously.

The Kent avenue power station, when tho annex to It is built, will be one of the largest of Its kind in the country. Its total capac Ity, when all the generating engines with which It 3 to be provided ore Installed, will be 100,000 horse power, all of which will be ot the disposal of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Conipmy within few years, comparatively. There can be no gainsaying the fact that tho Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company Is preparing, In a comprehensive way. for tho future growth and development of this borough. While the shortcomings of the service at present admittedly are many, It was demonstrated In yesterday's tour of Inspection that the company Is doing many things to provide Braoklynltes, In the no distant future, with adequate and comfortable means of transportation.

Tho company has a large force of men at work constructing the new Incline at Thirty, sixth street snd Fifth avenue, which, when completed, will vastly Improve existing conditions at the terminal station there, which has been a constant source of worry and annoyonce, both to the officials of the company nnd the traveling public. The Incline will do away with many of the present evils there, notably that which has to do with the transferring of passengers from the elevated to the surface lines. The Fifth avenue trains, both those hound for Bath Beach and for Fort Hamilton, ate to be run down the Incline, the latter continuing on to Third avenue and Sixty-fifth street, where they will he run on to another Incline, also being constructed, ond through to Fort Hamilton, where at Ninety-ninth Btrect, they will moke a loop and return by way of Fifth avenue 10 the bridge. In a similar manner cars will be operated down the Fifth avenue Incline ond along Fifth avenue to Ninety-ninth street, where they will make a loop to Third, ovenue and return by way of that thorough-fnre to the depot, at Thirty-sixth street snd Fifth ovenue. Thus, trains will be continuously coming and going on both Fifth and Third avenues as far as Ninety-ninth street.

At a cost of $219,000 the company Is filling In the open cut on Thirty-seventh street, which was condemned by the borough authorities. Alargo gong of men is at work on the Job and It Is expected that It will be completed by next fall. When the cut Is filled In the land above It will he sold, while suburban cars will be operated In tho tunnel beneath. In the course of yesterday's Inspection a stop was mode ot the old Thirty-ninth street terminal station, which the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company has fitted up as a plant fnr remodeling end equipping cars. Forty of the old steam coaches formerly used on the lines are being made over at this plant and when theBe are finished work will begin on 200 more.

The cars ore being supplied with new trucks and are being Btrengthened In various ways. The platforms are being lengthened ond other improvements In the cars ore being mode, so that they will scarcely be recognizable when they are put Into operation on tha lines. In addition to these ears the company ho contracted for 200 brand new motor ears, which will be In use by June 1. Of these 120 will be open cars. The first shipment of tho new cars Is expected to arrive here next week and they will be ready for use at the Thirty-ninth street plant.

PROHIBITION FOR WALLAB0UT. The Question Now Before the Stats Legislature Its Several Interesting Features. The resolute determination of the majority of the merchants at Wallabout Market to not only prevent the Controller, who now under the city charter has full power ot administration over the affairs of that market, from Issuing leases which permit the sale of spirituous liquors on the leased, but to also eliminate the one place In which, conducted as a restaurant, recently, such beversges aro procurable, has carried the question of prohibition for the market before the Legislature at Albany and created decidedly Interesting situations among the several portico to the controversy. The lease Issued by the Controller about a year ago to Charles Smith, one of the two largest holders of leases of the market lots, which permits the serving with meals of liquors to be drunk on the premises was the "casus belli" which has brought the question before the present tribunal appealed to for determination.

Under the strong protest agalust liquor permitting leaseholds, made to the Controller by the Market Merchants' Assoclstlon Blnce the issuing of Smith's lease, that oni- clal has announced that he will grant no further permission for the sale of liquor on the market lands. That determination resolved the lease to Smith which is for tho term iof five years with privilege of renewal for a like teim. Into a practical monopoly of liquor soiling In the market lor nine years and at once aroused tho hostility of all the keepers of restaurontB in the market and the consciousness of injustice to them in the minds of the mnrket people generally. Smith had obtained a license from the excise authorities nnd a month or two ago secured a tonant tor his premises to whom he assigned both his lease ond license and who forthwith fitted up end opened to business a dining saloon In which he served liquors not only with meals but at a buffet bar. That precipitated matters; for so long as Smith's tenant secured renewals of his liquor license he could perpetunte his monopoly end It was considered not likely that renewals would be refused when payment.

the fee wa tendered and the saloon maintained on a reputablo basis. Tho Legislature was, therefore, appealed to for the passage of on act prohibiting Ihe issuing ot licenses for the dispensing of liquor at Wallabout Market ond to that end bills were Introduced In the Assembly and Senate at Albany which amend Section 1H4 of tho city charter the section which places that mnrket under the charge ot the Controller In the following language: "On and after the passage of this act, distilled and rectified spirits, wine and fermented Hnd malt liquors shall not be sold or offered for sale in Wallabout Market lands and all leases of any portion of such lands granted under the provisions of this section shall coutaln a provision restricting and prohibiting the sale or offering for sale of any such spirits, wine and fermented and malt liquors on any lands leased thereby and on and after the passage of this act the stato commissioner of excise shnll not Issue or renew nny certificate permitting or authorizing the sale of distilled or rectified spirits, wlno snd fermented nnd malt liquors within the limits of said Wallabout Market lends or In anv portion thereof." "Sec. 2. This act shall take effect Immediately." The bill was Introduced In the Assembly by Members Byrne and who agreed upon one form for their respective measures, and referred to tho Committee on Excise. That In the Senate was lniroduced by Senator Marshall and was referred to the Committee on Cities.

The Assembly Excise Committee held a hearing on the bill on March It, nt which the market people expressed their advocacy of the measure. No opposition of conse-quenco being mode the bill was rcportcl favorably. The Senate bill was considered on March 17. The Market Association appeared by its vice president, Herman Llns, ond Conn-Bel Hugo Hlrsch, by whom argument nnd representations were mado to demonstrate the necessity for the bill's enactment. Argument against the bill was made by Counsel Starr J.

Murphy, who set forth the hardship that Smith's tenant would be subjected to, should It become a law, In having expended 17,000 in fitting up a high cIhks refreshment, establishment greatly needed by the market people and others In the mnrket vicinity, as attested by a petition presented bearing the namcn of three hundred ouch people, which urged tho defeat of the proposed legislation. Mr. Murphy also emphatically attacked the measure as the worst form of Interference with the principle of "home rule," and askrr) If the local authorities of the Greater New York could not be trusted to properly regulate the. paltry market affairs of the city, what they may be considered good for, gny woy. There Is much sympathy felt for Smith's tenont, hecouse ho is regarded as ctanding for losses In heavy expenditure, which he need not havo Incurred to equip his establishment for a simple dining room, and which, should the hill pass, will be nf no possible service to him.

Were It not for the awkward feature of monopoly, even many omong the market prohlbltlonlsis would be willing to have his easo sn exception, for during the short time thot his place hos been open he has created a favorable Impression by the liberal and acceptable method with which ho has conducted Its business. HIAWATHA ENTERTAINMENTS. Little Pupils at Packer Work Again for the Jubilee Fund. On Friday afternoon the members of tho class of '14 repeated part of the entertainment which they gave on Mnrch 6.

S5.C00 SUBSCRIBED YESTERDAY Chairman Kennedy Reports on the Condition of the Fund Cleveland's Name Cheered. In tbe place' of the usual Friday night prayer meeting last evening at Plymouth Church the time was given over to the full discussion of the many propositions that have been advanced as a memorial of Henry Ward Beecher, and the lecture room was crowded with those members of the church and society who were most anxious to know Just how far the plans have been developed by the executive committee of the Memorial Committee. During the meeting a high tribute was paid to ex-President Grover Cleveland by Chairman Elijah R. Kennedy of the committee, and his words caused an outburst of applause from the audience seldom heard even In a most enthusiastic political meeting.

Reports of the financial condition of the fund showed that $5,000 had been added to It yesterday, making a grand total to dale from 258 subscribers of In the absence of the Rev. Dr. Hlllis, the Rev. Mr. Harmon was the moderator of the meeting, and Mr.

Harmon at once introduced Chairman Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy spoke first of the memorial hall which It was proposed to build on the two lots adjoining the church toward Hicks street. The property on Orange street has already been bought by the church and it was proposed last night to purchase the same frontage on Cranberry street, so that the memorial should cover a ground space of 50x200. This hall, Mr.

Kennedy said, was to be as fine as anything of Its kind In the world. The speaker said that at present the committee had no definite plan, for that was a matter that had to do with architects, but the committee and each member of the church had opinions. As for himself, Mr. Kennedy said he would wish to see In such a memorial 'building a delightful reading room and a library. The latter, he sold, ought not to be devoted to a miscellaneous collection of books, but It should be the best library In tho world, in its collection of works on Christian patriotism.

Then there should be a conversation room nad parlors. Mr. Kennedy said that the parlors should rival the parlors of the Waldorf-Astoria. He believed that more people would come to the social gatherings of the church if It did. All of Mr.

Kennedy's remarks showed that for a pari of the memorial he had in mind a beautiful club house and he said that such a building as he described was a club house, but he thought that tho Christian church ought to havo I he good things In life and he believed that good clu'os were a valuable adjunct to social Intercourse and culture nowadays. "I doubt not," said Mr. Kennedy, "that there will be a flagstaff on the building end that, on all suitable occasions the beautiful Stars and Stripes vfhlch Mr. Beecher so dearly loved will wave from Its peak." Mr. Kennedy then took ud the Question of the removal of the bodies of Mr.

and Mrs. Beecher to the site of the proposed memorial park. He said that, tho members Df Mr. BeechcrX'amlly and Dr. Hillls' address at the Academy of Music had done much to settle the question of the propriety of this move and that nineteen out of every twenty men with whom he had talked had spoken glowingly of the Idea of Mr.

Beecher sleeping where In life he labored. The speaker reviewed at length the recent Academy of Music meeting and spoke of the world-wide prominence the meeting had had. Of the speakers on that occasion he spoke eloquently. "We were indeed fortunate, he said, "to have an ex-Preaident of tho United States present to address us; fortunate in having a man whom many of us firmly believe is the foremost living American with us and honored by his eloquent and beautiful tribute to tho influence on his life of Henry Ward Beecher." The speaker also referred to each of the other speakers, and said that in bis opinion at no time in recent years had there ever been so great a meeting and one so widely reported in the newspapers of the land. Mr.

Kennedy said that the evidence was plain that the whole people of the United States were Interested In the project and that It ought to be an easy thing to raise the $250,000 needed for the erection of the memorial and the $100,000 more that should be used as a maintenance fund. Such a fund, he said, would enable the church to maintain such a building, as It was proposed to erect In a luxurious manner. He demanded of his hearers a united effort to assist in the work of the committee. If this was done, he said, there would be no abatement of enthusiasm, and doubt the sum needed, great though it was, would be raised. In closing Mr Kennedy related a little personal Incident which happened during his visit a few weeks ago at the White House to see President Roosevelt In relation to the Beecher Memorial.

Mr. Kennedy aid he told Mr. Roosevelt that if Napoleon Bonaparte was relegated to the eighteenth century, to which, he considered, he belonged, Henry Ward Beecher, In the speaker's estimation, was the greatest figure in the nineteenth century. Mr. Kennedy said that Mr.

Roosevelt immediately took Issue with him and said that he was not prepared to admit Mr. Kennedy's contention; that he, the President, rather thought that Bismarck led Mr. Beecher. and that Lincoln surely did in greatness. Then followed an argument which Mr.

Kennedy detailed for the benefit of his hearers to their great amusement, and which ended by Mr. Kennedy having to leave the White House to catch his train for New York without the argument being ended. Mr. Kennedy laughingly said that he believed he could convince the President If he had had a little more time at his disposal. Following Mr.

Kennedy a statement of the financial condition of the fund was given by O. H. Schlagle, who has the finances of tho fund in charge. Mr. Schlagle said that $5,000 had been added to the fund yesterday.

He gave the following amounts and subscribers of yesterday; William Ziegler, John T. Archbold, $500; L. W. Lawrence, $500; William E. Dodge, $250; Benjamin Stern, $250; Abraham A Straus, $250; A.

A. Raven. $100; Jackson Wallace. $100; Stewart L. Woodford, $100, and Robert C.

Ogden, $100. There were a number of smaller amounts, which made the total of $5,000 for the day. Mr. Schlagle said that tbe fund now amounted to $42,113.46, and of that sum had been paid in, leaving an amount unpaid of There had been a total of 258 subscriptions, he said, and of the number Mrs. Wallace, who had contributed $60,000 toward the work of Dr.

Hlllis' church In Chicago, had given $10,000 toward the Beecher memorial. This was the largest ingle subscription so far, Mr. Sohlngle said, hut there had been a number between $1,000 snd $5,000. Ex-Senator Orlswold spoke for a few mln utes upon the work of the committee In se curing an option on the Cranberry street property needed for tin memorial. Ho also aid that the committee was arranging for subscriptions to be taken In England.

Benjamin F. Blair made a motion that a comm ttee of ten. five men and five women members of the church, be appointed by the chairman to take up the matter of ih fund and provide plans that Plymouth Church might do Its part In raising funds. This motion unanimously carried and Mr. Hurwon appointed Mr.

Dlalr as the chair man of tho committee and said that the other members would be appointed later. after he had had an opportunity of talking with Dr. Hillls and Mr. Blair on the matter. The meeting then adjourned.
