1 (Special to the Eagle.) Glen Cove, L.

The piazzas and the lawns In front of the bouse were arranged to accommodate the club members and their visitors, and all other parts of the grounds were open to the general public. The fireworks display began at 8 o'clock and lasted until nearly 10. It was by far the most gorgeous display ever given at the club.

The set prices, especially that of Niagara Falls, were beautiful. Tin1 pieces shown on the water were new and pleasing. Every variety of rocket and bomb was shown, and the scene was brilliantly lighted most of the time with colored fire. There were at least 350 people at the club and probably double that number of "neighborhood" spectators. In the company were noticed Mr.

Board Doesn't Count; No Formal Order Is Issued Yet. SOME PASSENGERS PROTEST. Conductors Kept Busy Explaining. President Huff Tells the Company's Views. No formal order having been received from the Public Service Commission to reduce the faro to Coney Island from Interior parts of the city from ten cents to a nickel, the Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad Company will continue collecting two fares from passengers who get on outside of tho second fare points.

President Huff told tho Eagle to-day that the opinion recently handed down by the commission, In which It stated Its belief that tho road could chnrge only five cents on wek daya from Monday to Friday, except holidays, was not considered Instruction to lower tho rates. "The week-lay question did not figure at all In tho complaint on which the opinion la based," said Mr. Huff. "The commission ruled that vn would charge ten cents on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, by way of answering tho complaint against that practice on the part nf our road. It merely gave an opinion on ho week-day rates, while dismissing the complaint which It had under consideration for some time.

"Until we get a formal order to charge only one fare on week days we shall continue to charge ten cents, as heretofore. We believe we are entitled to that sum for a ride from remote parts of Brooklyn to Coney Island. When we get the order to reduce the fare, Wi: shall act oti the advice of our counsel. I do Dot know as yet Just, what course we will pursue In that event. "It la my opinion that the Public Service Commission put that week-day opinion In the decision by way of throwing out a hint for complaints." Notwithstanding that a big triple holiday has just passed, traffic to Coney Island over the Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad lines via Smith Btreet, Franklin avenue and DeKalb avenues was unusually heavy for a "day after" period.

The routes along the second fare points were carefully watched by the officials and policed by employes of the company, but up to this afternoon there had been no serious trouble of any kind. The conductors were kept busy explaining to peoplo who had evidently read out of the newspapers stories of the commission's decision a permission lo ride all the way for a niikel but they paid the extra nickel without much murmuring. Although none of the officials of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company would admit that they anticipated a one-fare ruling from the Public Service Commission, President Winter to-day Issued a statement relative to the Saturday-Sunday traffic to and from Coney Island over the numerous B. R. T.

lines. "The fortunes of the B. R. T. will not be built up on good Coney Island Saturdays and Sundays." said Mr.

Winter, "nor wrecked by bad oneB. It Is a showy traffic, but Its pecuniary value has been much overrated. It Is doubtful If In tbe most favorable seasons It hns ever cleared Itself, without taking into account the large Investment In facilities required to handle it. Whatever Rurplus the Bystem gets comes from the everyday, year-round travel, which may, within limits, be depended on, rain or shine, and provided for with some regard for economies of operation." CARRIED 1,000,000 PERSONS Long Island Railroad Broke All Records for Holiday Traffic. Not a Traveler Injured and No Serious Delay to Trains Ten-Car Trains the Average.

July 4 and 5 and to-day have been the four heaviest days of traffic In the history of the Long Island Railroad. It is estimated that not less than a million passengers hove been carried during tho four days to various points from twenty to one hundred miles and return. Not a single person on any train was Injured, and there was no serious delay In the movement of any of the trains. Over 300 trains were run dally in and out of Long Island City, and an equal number in and out of Flatbush avenue, on the Atlantic Avenue Division, and every train was crowded. The average length of the train was ten cars each, and from eastern points many ran In double sections.

The climax of the passenger movement was yesterday afternoon and last night. Train No. 23 from Amagansett came in in four sections to New York. The first section had ten parlor cars, the second and third eleven coaches each, and the fourth was all baggage cars. The last Grecnport train came in two sections, one ot eight parlor cars and the other of ten coaches; the last Ronkonkoma train came In two sections of ten coaches each.

A special train was started from Northport at 6:30 and filled up at that village and Huntington, bringing over 1,000 passengers. The afternoon Oyster Bay train came in In two sections. There were, three second sections from Long Beach, one each from Far Rockaway, Babylon and Isllp, and ten extra trains from Rockaway Beach above the regular time table, and all of them averaged ten cars each. The Joint train service of the B. R.

T. Railroad and the Long Island Railroad, between Delancey street, Manhattan, and Rockaway Park, over the Broadway elevated line, was unprecedented, elghty-flve trains being run each way per day. The express and baggage business broke all records. In spite of all the efforts of the trainmen, working day and night to clear up the accumulation, a specl.tl baggage train of nine solid carloads of trunks and express matter had to be sent out Sunday morning to Amagansett over the Montauk Division. The deliveries at Rockaway Beach were heavy the company had to send seven or eight Of us Dig -nannaitan aenvery wagons there to help handle the business.

Every village on Long Island Is crowded with visitors and summer residents In excess of any previous year In tho history of that section. SOMEBODY'S SON DROWNED. Body of Swimmer Found at the Navy Yard. The body of an unknown young man was found floating beenath the stern of the receiving hlp Hancock at 4 o'clock this morning by one of the sentries of the vessel. The alarm was sounded and the body was grappled for.

It was held securely with ropes until 9:25 o'clock, when the police and a morgue wagon appeared and took the body away. The body was olothed In swimming trunks, and was evidently that ot an atheltlo young man who had been in swimming somewhere np the East Rivet or in L007 Island Sound. rice Thomas for con! mpt of court, aB predicted in the Eagle on Saturday didn't! make Sheriff Hoblty's hostelry very: long stay, for he walk.l out yesterday at! in time to enjoy the He simply paid the sum of the fine and thej cos's, all nf which amounted to ri. and was discharged.

MURDER THEORY SCOUTED Body of "Baby" Burt Exhumed; Stomach to Be Analyzed. Doctor Who Examined Body Believes Man Took His Life and Was Not Killed. (Special to the Eagle.) Mineola. July 7 In accordance with tho order issued by County Judge Edgar Jackson, on Saturday, the body ot Alfred Burt, the Wealthy farmer found dead, hanging from a beam In the garret of his home, was exhumed at Greenfield Cemetery, Hemps'ead.

on Sunday afternoon and the digestive organs removed for chemical analysis. The body was relnterred after the digestive organs had been taken from It. Dr. Cieghorn. one ot the physicians as signed to exmimn tne Dtmy am chemical analysis made of the stomach, mado an examination of Burt's body outwardly and found no marks indicate an Injury other than those made by the rope which unclrcled the farmer's nock when found.

Dr. Cieghorn believes Burt committed suicide, and there Is little, If any. foundation for the poisoning theory advanced by some of the many relatives. Ten dollars wa3 found In the coat worn by the suicide It has developed since Lawyer. Charles T.

McCarthy of Olan Cnvn, acting for Sarah T. Titus, an aunt of Burt, made a request to District Attorney Coles for the exhumation ot the body, that Burt and Gertrude Albrecbt. who was his housekeeper, were married In Hoboken, N. J. This accounts for the statement that no record locally could be found of the marriage.

The woman has a child living, of which she says Burt was the father. It was born in February, 1908, and It appeara that the woman Instituted proceedings before Justice C. F. Glttens to compel the farmer to support It. Burt'a penu-riousness led to the proceedings, according to report.

Tbe woman allogod that be would not give her money to purchase beddiug for the Infant. Tho child will be an Important issue. It Is certain. In disposition of the largo estate of the farmer Mrs 'Burt, tho widow, has retained Lawyer 'George B. Stoddart.

to look after her Interests and those ot the child. Pending determination of the chemical analysis of Burt's stomach, District Attorney Coles will do nothing In the matter He is inclined to think the theory that Burt was poisoned and afterward strung up In the garret of his home to Indicate death by hanging, rather vague, although admitting that some circumstances related by relatives seem peculiar, if true.

Boston, July 8 Robert D. Evans, the landlord of President Taft. in Beverly, MaBS, and his next door neighbor on Woodberry's Point, was reported at 10 A.M.. to-day, to be In a practically hope-leBg condition as a result of being thrown from horse last Wednesday. Mr Evans fractured two ribs, but was doing well when an Intestinal affeotlon devel oped and an operation became necessary on Sunday.

The family were summoned of the Homeopathio Hoipl tal. this oity. during tbe forenoon. so Doay to wasnington. Representative Cushman was born at Brighton, on May 8, 18C7; graduates from Pleasant Plain Academy, Iowa, in 1884; was admitted to the bar and located In Washington.

From 1898 until this year he was a rnngresman-at-large, and was a Republican. His resi dence was in Tacoma, Wash. While Representative Cushman possessed unchallenged the title of "House humorist," he was universally regarded as far more than that. His high ability was recognized by Speaker Cannon in committee assignment, particularly in his selection to fill a vacancy on the Ways and Means Committee, at a time when a great tariff bill was to be reported to the House for consideration. One striking thing about Representative Cushman was that he never displayed his gift of humor to the House for its mere amusement, hut always with a view of Impressing his view more forcibly upon that body.

In contrast with some humorists that have passed into history, his fame does not rest on a single speech. His maiden effort in the House attracted so much attention to him that ever thereafter he gained a hearing as soon as he arose. His style of expression and his homelv appearance had quite as much to do with the effect as his humorous remarks. One of his first speeches to attract attention touched on the effects of the panic in 1893. In describing the Impoverished condition to which his constituents were reduced he said they were forced to live on clams, washed ashore by the Incoming tide.

Their stomachs, he concluded roan and fell with the rising and fall ing of the tide. He probably will be long remembered Dy reason mi-nes3 of his humor in the debates on the Payne tariff bill In the House. His speech in defense of retaining the duty on lumber secured additional votes for It. It was said, at the time the House, voted on the schedule. Cushman's acquiescing to a rule for a vote on the Payne bill, with reduced rates on lumber, assured its passage In describing his feelings to the House he likened them to a cow puneher in Wyoming, whose ability to raise 1.000 cattle in one summer with one cow as a starter caused a rope to be placed around his neck by a vigilance committtee.

Thpv asked BUI wnat ne iiuu to explained Mr. uusnmau Old Bill rolled his quid into the other cheek and said: 'Well gentlemen. I s'pose I've got more interest In tnis periurummB other gent present, but I am the least enthusiastic over the programme.1 Congressman Cushman held the title of being the homeliest man In the House and of looking more like Lincoln than any other public man of recent years. In summing up his career once he said he had been a waterboy, sectionhand, cowboy, school teacher, lawyer and congressman. He was in Congress for more than teu years.
